on Citysearch Dec 09, 2007Most everything from the service to the taste of the food is quite incredible. The only "negative" thing I have to say about BR is regarding the cornbread. (Sorry... it's consistently a bit dry, guys!) Their sauces... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 18, 2007Being from the south it's hard to find real southern barbecue in the Boston area. Blue Ribbon does as good a job as I've seen. Only complaint is they serve it with sauce already on it. I'd much rather see it 'dry' (not... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 09, 2007Entering Blue Ribbon, our first impression was "it's such a tiny place!" (it seats about 10) The place offers the typical BBQ fairs like ribs, pull pork, chicken, beef brisket. We ordered Half Rib Platter ($14) and... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 26, 2006I'm definitely not the biggest BBQ fan I know, but I absolutely LOVE Blue Ribbon! Their array of delectable BBQ sauces are the best bar none. It can be kind of a trek getting to Arlington since surface street traffic can... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2006Popped in for a plate of Memphis dry rub ribs and pulled pork with mashies, creamed corn/leeks (both excellent) and cornbread on the side. Pulled pork was tangy and tasy, ribs were delicious and covered with some... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 28, 2004The food and the sauces are great. As Shakespeare said of his barbecue, "readiness is all." And this barbecue is cooked appropriately, slowly. The people who run this place are competent and friendly and deserve... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 25, 2003Blue Ribbon is one of my favorites. If you want to sit down, go to Red Bones. If you're on any sort of schedule, go to Blue Ribbon. Both have similar quality food, Red Bones has larger portions but costs a bit more. I'd say... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 25, 2002I first ate here about six years ago, and haven't stopped yet. The smell as you walk in makes your mouth water, and as you read through the chalk board menu your stomach starts to rumble from the hunger. With so many... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 07, 2002It's all about the food. the place is more about takeout than eating in, although the decor is cool. Don't go there without getting the burnt ends. Great sides too. There needs to be one on the North Shore, though.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2002As important as the dedication to authentic barbeque, is the consistency of the product -- all products -- at all the Blue Ribbon locations. Perhaps the food deserves better than it gets in the way of ambiance -- it is... (more)
