What People Are Saying About Blue Ribbon Barbeque
The Editor
Eric Grossman
Citysearch
The Scene – Families and young professionals come from far and wide to dig into heaping pulled pork platters and imposing slabs of ribs, amid a southern roadside environment (counter service only). Lunch and dinner hours yield vastly different atmospheres: Noontime visitors enjoy a quiet, relaxed environment and rarely have a problem nabbing an open seat (there are only 12), while most nights bring standing-room-only crowds, forcing larger groups to skip the wait for a seat and take their meals to go. – – The Food – Order an assortment of the Ribbon's slow-cooked meats…

good variety, large portions
by ncgalnew2ma at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: varied menu, quick service
- Cons: pricey, nothing unique

Blue Ribbon for Blue Ribbon
by ARL02476 at Citysearch
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!!!
- Pros: Excellent bbq
- Cons: wish it were open later

Great taste of the South
by edsomers at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Great tasting food; typical Southern BBQ experienc
- Cons: Store-bought iced tea
