Sigh... Rebranding won't fix bad food. Also the obviously planted fake reviews are pretty funny. No one in the neighborhood has ever said anything good about the food here. Not one.

Wow! This was the best BBQ and pizza my family has ever had! We all had something different and nothing disappointed. Definitely recommend to everyone. Phenomenal food and equally great atmosphere and service. We WILL be back!

This place is terrible!! Firstly, they lie on the website and say they have a salad bar. They do not have a salad bar. The rude staff told us when they finally helped us that they could make us a salad instead. We stood there while the person painfully and slowly rang up each item on the salad, only to come back to us later saying they were out of almost all salad ingredients and only had enough for one of us to have a salad. We should have walked out at that point. A bottom of the bag salad with 2 toppings but costs the same as a salad bar. (Wouldn't you have comped it at this point?)The food here is mediocre at best. You will not be blessed with good bbq. Don't waste your time or money. This place repeatedly gets torn up in reviews on the Facebook Vancouver group. Should have listened.

We came in on a Saturday morning and ordered the family meal deal with smoked ribs and pulled pork. It was delicious! We had the mac n cheese, collard greens, baked beans, corn bread and blueberry cobbler. Not only is the food amazing but the owners treat you like family. I highly recommend BBQ blessings!

We tried them for dinner last night and dined in. The Hubs and I both had the rib dinner which came with two sides. We both had the cornbread, he had the mac & cheese, and then I had the collard greens. The cornbread had a good flavor, but was very crumbly and kept falling apart. The mac & cheese tasted fine, but wasn't very creamy (you know how mac & cheese isn't as moist when you reheat it later? It was like that). I really liked their collard greens. We both enjoyed their ribs, which were tender and have a tasty dry rub on them. They give you a bottle of their bbq sauce to use at the table, which had a good flavor as well. As far as I know they make only one bbq sauce, and it's the sweet-style. The service was very friendly and our food came out quick. The decor is a bit lacking, so the interior really didn't have any personality, which is strange for a BBQ place. Because of that I think if we have them again in the future we'll get our food to-go.

Absolutely not the best restaurant I've \\ ever been. no ribs, out of chicken, order was wrong, no collard greens. new place I suppose?\ waitress yelling \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ I won't be back, 2 stars** and that is being generous.

While the meat is the star of the show with the flavors and tenderness the brisket was amazing , the sides at BBQ Blessing should not be overlooked. The baked beans were a sweet and savory delight. But the Bannana pudding was the perfect night cap for dessert!

Stopped in for the first time yesterday afternoon. The cashier was super polite and Professional. And that was the best part of my meal. It took about 30 minutes to package our food to go not bad at all considering they seemed fairly busy. Once we got home though we found the beans to be fairly tasteless the Mac and cheese was good on the top baked part but dry and flavorless on the bottom with no cheese or sauce. The Cornbread was dry but able to be salvaged by the butter and honey. I found the Brisket to be delicious tender and smokey just like the Pulled pork. But my ribs where fairly dry and didn't have much flavor. Unfortunately the BBQ sauce was thin and tasted alot like sweet and Sour sauce not bad just nothing special. Overall customer service was good but the Food itself was underwhelming as a whole.Imagine going camping and looking forward to smores all day and then at night having your parents hand out Candy Corn.

The pulled chicken was juicy and flavorful, the beans were thick enough to eat with a fork and the cornbread was not dry. My son had the garbage can nachos and decided we need to go back every month. The service was fantastic!

Me and my wife shared the 4 meat platter. Everything was exceptionally good. I love brisket and ribs, but what really surprised me was the chicken. I'm not a big chicken guy, but this was tender and juicy and way better than any BBQ chicken I've had. The service was excellent and we were just generally impressed with the whole thing. Our bill came to $66 dollars and that was both of us stuffing ourselves plus 2 ice teas and I got a beer too. We are going back, probably a lot. I will be telling my friends about this place.

We get their brisket by the pound as a takeaway to eat at home. The brisket is tender and tasty without being too salty. The bbq sauce they include is tangy and not too salty. Yummy! Haven't done dine-in because the place is too noisy for my preferences. But the take out is quick and near the door for dash in and out.

This is my second time back, the food is always amazing although the brisket this time around was a tad bit dry but I get it I got there a little too late they probably cook that earlier in the day. For dessert we had the banana pudding and the chocolate cake, the cake wasn't very good but the pudding was fantastic. We will keep coming back.

I totally loved my meal. its a very family friendly place to eat. The owners where very polit and every thing was very clean. I ate some of the best BBQ out there. I can't wait to come again. I drove almost an hour to come opening day because I'm a real BBQ person I am very picky about my BBQ. But man was it good.Parking: It was evening About dinner time when was there. there was a full parking, but I managed to find a spot. It was packed but not to bad there was some spots along side the road you could park too. If it was not for opening day I'm sure it would have been a bit more room.Kid-friendliness: Oh man I loved the meal and they had kid size options as well as tv we could watch to keep the Kido's busy while eating.

Chris is such a stand up guy! Came in with my family and got dinner and got to have a great conversation with the owner and made us feel right at home when we were life time bennys goers and will be making this place a new regular spot for my family!! That brisket was the best I’ve ever had. 10
