Downtown Street Vendors: The Re-Up BBQ

The Re-Up BBQ - Corner of Georgia and Hornby St.



This is one of the many street vendors that have been popping up in downtown Vancouver. A refreshing change from the regular hotdog stands. This stand serves pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. Every day around noon time you will see a lineup of around 10 plus people. We decided one day to find out why this was so popular.


The pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw costs $6., with HST this comes to $6.75. Although not cheap by street vendor standards, they make up for it with a generous serving of pulled pork. The pork is chunky and infused with the spiciness of paprika.

Apparently the barbecue sauce and coleslaw is vegan, ironically this sandwich is nothing but meaty. We love the addition of the coleslaw for texture.

Our Verdict:
  • Location: Prime location beside the art gallery
  • Price: Slightly expensive. For the same price we could get 2 Vietnamese subs
  • Flavor : Nice change from the regular hotdog stands, but lacks variety. They only have 1 style of the pulled pork sandwich. With more variety this will definitely become a downtown staple, especially for the meat lovers out there.
