Embers BBQ House

My husband and I decided to try Ember and wow! It was good! I got Pulled pork sandwich, my husband got the firehouse burger and my daughter got the kids cheese burger. Great price, and great portions! We'll definitely be going back! Oh and we ordered cornbread so delicious

Decided to give Embers BBQ House a try after doing a search for restaurants near Mission Raceway. Ordered the Micheal Sandwich with fries...it was a very good bbq chicken sandwich. The hand cut fries were awesome too. The service was good too. A hidden little gem!

Hey, for a place with no liquor license therefore no beer with lunch I really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the pulled pork sandwich and fries. Good portion, fair price, good variety of small label, sugary, carbonated beverages if you're into that kind of thing I just had water and the service was good. I had their ribs before, my mouth waters at the thought and I'll certainly have a pile of them if they're available next time. There's an outdoor patio, tables inside, bathroom is way in the back. A real Mission gem.

Best pulled pork around that we have experienced in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. We always make sure to stop in or detour to when passing through. That said, this most recent trip - sides seemed to have gone down hill. The beans were runny and didn't taste fresh and the coleslaw while fresh didn't have any taste lacking dressing and salt - tasted like plain cabbage. I like like coleslaw dressing not too heavy but this was so light I couldn't taste it. Anyways, staff are always friendly and food is made pretty quickly. We'll be back for the pulled pork sandwich but will just skip the sides all together next time or go with the fries.

It's not bad. If you are looking to have your bbq meats smoked, then you will be disappointed...especially with the Brisket which is braised and served in a very thin liquid meant to be au jus lacks flavor. The pulled pork is seasoned with cumin which seems to be trying to cover up a lack of flavor and dryness. The baked beans were tasteless so you should avoid this side. The pork ribs were pretty good. They meat falls off the bone nicely and the bbq sauce is tasty. The chicken lacks smoke and tastes like regular rotisserie chicken. The overall presentation of the platter is good and there is a lot of food.The wings were good with a nice honey garlic flavor. The caesar salad is fresh and delicious and the fries and bread were very nice. Fat wedges and generous buttery portions respectively. The service is attentive and friendly. The dill potato salad is excellent! But speaks to how everything is nontraditional. If I were to come back, I'd have the ribs with potato salad again with caesar salad and fries. The restaurant was very clean as well. Embers is not a traditional bbq house. So don't expect a Memphis, Texas or Carolina style bbq restaurant.

Background - we moved here from Memphis TN and have been on the hunt for good bbq since than. So by now we had tried every bbq joint in Vancouver metro and started make our own quite freaquently. Happened to be in Mission and gave this place a go. The good: fries, garlic bread suprised they didnt serve cornbread thou and coleslaw. The avg: chicken, beans. The sub avg: bbq ribs. And my issue was with the sauce in particular - see my pictures. It looked and tasted more like “chilly” on top of meat, like what you get with your chillydogs at a county fair. Normally you would expect a texture and aroma of some sweet or semi-sweet tangy bbq glase with spices and balanced tomato, vinegar notes, etc. This one had none of that - i felt like if i opened can chilly and poured over ribs, this is what it would look/taste like. So, with all fairness, maybe thats what they r going for intentionally, but it didnt work for us. Otherwise a pleasant place, but it is unlikely we will go back.

Wow! What a great experience at Embers. I've been here a couple of times but our last visit was one to remember. The owner came up to speak to us and allowed me to order the beef dip sandwich which was nit on the menu because they had the meat made to be able to make it. The food was delicious and the service was attentive and friendly. This is definitely the place to go if you are looking for a delicious, affordable meal in Mission. Thanks Embers for such a positive experience. We will definitely be back!

Came for lunch as recommended by some locals. Neat little place. Waited a very long time considering there was only 2 tables. But pretty good food! I would have left 3 stars but the good food made me bump it up to a 4! I recommend maybe ordering ahead? Good sized patio for when the weather permits.

Go hungry because they have big portions! And, you'll be glad of that, too... as their food was delicious! I had their BBQ chicken with 1 side [Caesar Salad], coffee. My husband ordered a hamburger that was loaded with 1 side [Caesar Salad]! It even had coleslaw in it and he said it was the best burger he'd ever eaten. It was as big as a 1/2 sub! Big portions, descent prices! Lovely service. Thank you!

We tried the burgers and both were amazingly tasty juicy. The salads were fresh and it gives the taste of home. The staff are friendly and attentive.
