This is one of my favorite in town takeout places. A slow cooked pit smoked brisket sandwich and some light and tart coleslaw makes a great lunch or solo supper. And try the burnt ends which may
sounds like a kitchen failure but are meltingly tender and filled with BBQ flavor.
If you need to feed a hungry crowd they offer family size platters of ribs, chicken and sides like baked beans or mashed potatoes. Thier fresh baked cornbread is so good that although it makes a great addition to dinner, it rarely makes it home! Please excuse the crumbs on the car seat...
With the generous portions, it may be hard to leave room for dessert but the sweet potato pie and pecan pie are worth it.…
Great barbecue!. My husband and I love Blue Ribbon. Sometimes we try other places, and we are always disappointed because nothing is as good as Blue Ribbon! We love their burritos and ribs! And the sauce is so good (my mouth is already watering). What a fantastic place! Too bad that the Newton place doesn't have a beer and wine license-a nice cold beer is all that is missing.…
good variety, large portions. I'm from the South and they do a good job offering different kinds of barbeque. However, their sides are nothing special and I've had better in the South. Also, they are a little expensive and while they give very large portions, I'd rather get a normal portion and pay less.…
Blue Ribbon for Blue Ribbon. I'm new here, and I lived down south for many years, so when I was this place I thought BBQ in MA. It can't be very good. Well I was wrong. This place is excellent. I have been a few times and though I want to try everything on the menu, I have ordered the pulled pork every time because it was so good the last time I went . . . though I have tasted other items off of friends' plates . . . all good . . . delicious tender brisket. Even the slaw is great . . . when a bbq place cares about the slaw, you know that they care about everything. MMM!!!…
Great taste of the South. Traditional Southern BBQ places are family operations that are long on great food and a bit short on ambiance. Each one provides a unique experience; the barbeque and sauces are treasured family secrets. Blue Ribbon brings these delightful traditions to the Boston area. The pulled pork barbeque has a wonderful smokey taste and the sauces represent a number of regional tastes (Eastern Carolina, Western North Carolina, South Carolina as a minimum). The only thing missing is true home-brewed sweet tea. If you go there hungry, you will leave satisifed.…
