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

Great Spot for Cue in Newton – Popped 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 sauce. All the meat was flavorful and came in large portions, nice job! You order at the counter and grab a stool or do takeout. Decor is perfect for cue, lots of little country knick-knacks and you're blasted by delicious smells when you step in. Good assortment of meats and sides, I'... read more
All aboard for a whistle-stop tour of Southern barbecue cuisines, all without leaving Newton. – 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: Daytime visitors enjoy a quiet, relaxed environment and rarely have a problem nabbing an open seat, while most nights bring standing-room-only crowds, forcing larger groups to ski... read more
Beowulf – The 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 every possible success. That said, we seldom get food here, anymore, because there is always someone in our group who wants baby back ribs, and Blue Ribbon does not make them. The rating questions are mostly inappropriate; this is mainly take-out.
REAL DEAL – WOW THIS IS SOME TASTY STUFF. GREAT RIBS AND SUACES SIDES SANDWICHES ETC...A MUST STOP FOR A QUICK BITE OR TO GO GOOD LEMONADE ICE TEA ON TAP TOO . THIS PLACE IS OFFERING A GREAT PUBLIC SERVICE
Awesome BBQ – Blue 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 the largest factor is your time constraints.
The best of the best – This is a fantastic restaurant. Great food, fanatical fans, great service. Whether they're catering a party or you just want some pulled pork for lunch, this is the place to go. Five stars!
Wicked Pissa! – Mush, this place is unbelievable! Big portions make you fat, but it's a good value and you can't beat the taste. Service is fast, and extremely friendly, even when the place is packed. Everything on the menu is great, never a dissappointment. Big Green salad is my Big Green friend. Pulled pork is a close friend too! Be there!
GOOD TAKE OUT – THIS IS GREAT TAKE OUT BBQ. I TOOK MY SOUTHERNER FATHER HERE AND HE LOVES IT. THEY DO A GREAT JOB WITHT EH BBQ AND SIDES. THE PRICE IS INEXPENSIVE. THE WAIT SHORT. ONLY DRAW BACK IS THAT THERE IS ONLY A FEW COUNTER SEATS AVAILABLE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT HOME.
Yummy, Yummy – Great tasting food with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The only negative is that sometimes it's hard to find a place to park.
