About this business
Blue-Ribbon BBQ is a Southern-style barbecue joint mainly known as a takeout spot, although there are 12 seats available inside. The decor is unique, you can see the cook in action over a glass wall and license plates from southern barbecue states on display. The food is the biggest draw here, including North Carolina pulled pork (complete with coleslaw and vinegar), Texas sliced beef brisket, red hot smoked sausage and Memphis dry-rubbed barbecued ribs. Rice and beans, collard greens and mashed potatoes are among the side d... read more

$50 gift certificate to Blue Ribbon BBQ? Hell Yeah!!! – Blue Ribbon is awesome. By far and away, one of the best BBQ place in the Boston. I really wanted to share this gift cert I found: www.bit.ly/b88EOJ All you need to do is 'Like' them on Facebook and then tell them your favorite BBQ place. How great is that, right?!?!
Get the Big Green Salad – Blue Ribbon is very well known for their pulled pork, burnt ends, beef brisket, smoked sausage, and pulled chicken... and only a select few (well, up until now), know that they have the most delicious salads in the area. Their "Big Green Salad" is exactly that. BIG and GREEN. It is super fresh and contains big, ripe cherry tomatoes, red peppers, and cabbage. They even give you a little container of croutons made from their cornbread. The croutons are a little bit spicey and a lot of delicious. My fa... read more
just got back from memphis and thay aint got nothing on this place!! real deal bbq here!! – blue ribbon has the best pulled pork i have ever had!! just got back from a memphis bbq quest and did most all of the top places (central bbq, neelys interstate, pig on beal,corkys) and i would take the pulled pork hands down at blue ribbon over any of the memphis joints, and the pork ribs are as good if not better than in memphis! maybe memphis has the edge in sauce and sides but no way in meat!! real bbq is not for everybody, but if... read more
Go here! Go here! – Most 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 are tasty and pretty authentic - especially love the NC vinegar! The best part is that the sauce is a CHOICE...they don't use the sauces to cover up subpar cooking! Thumbs up from this Southerner who LOVES her barbeque! Wow...my mouth is watering now!
Where did we go – WE went to the blue ribbon in Arlington I read all these great reveiws and wonder where we went MAybe we just have different taste but we went to the blue ribbon in arlington the staff was metiocore at best and the food was gross I ordered The trio of ribs brisket and pulled chix The ribs were fatty and dry like rubber and the brisket was fatty fatty fatty and the chix was dark meat eww the sauces were good and they had good coke and the mashed potatoes ere good and so was the cornbread we drove an hour to ... read more
May be best BBQ in Boston, but cannot compare to what you can get in the south – Entering 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 Beef Brisket Platter ($10) and each platter comes with a big corn bread and two sides. The Beef Brisket was tender, fatty, and juicy. The BBQ sauce provided on the side at the store was so-so, as it didn't add anything to the flavor o... read more
finger licking good – Yum, Yum! The BBQ ribs here are out of this world. They were so tasty! The portions are huge and the price is cheap! Very quick service. My waitor was very good! If you're hungry and looking for a quick bite and happen to be in the area you should try it.
Possibly the best BBQ in New England – I have been coming to Blue Ribbon for a while now. This place in my opinion has the best BBQ in the state and possibly in all of New England. The staff at both locations are very friendly and food arrives fast. Portions are huge. I highly recommend the "meat trio" of ribs, pulled pork and brisket. The sweet tea is also wonderful. The best time to eat is between 1:30-3:30 as it tends to get very crowded around lunch and dinner times. There is limited seating as well. If you love BBQ, you... read more
Amazing BBQ!! – I'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 be a little on the slow side, but it's SO worth it! Will definitely satisfy ANY BBQ craving you might have!
