Inspired by the classic roadside barbecue joints that dot the American South, Blue Ribbon offers the best of authentic Southern regional barbecue. All of our barbecue is cooked at low temperatures for long periods of time over oak and hickory hardwoods, producing moist, bold, flavorful meats. You’ll feel as though you’ve been brought back to a lost version of America. Our barbecue is the result of passion-driven cooks who have spent years around the fire pits perfecting the meats. The same passion applies to the long list of side dishes and desserts, giving a grandma’s kitchen flavor to the whole place. We share this experience with each guest and a simple nod of approval from a satisfied customer is what it’s all about.
Local counter-serve chain dishing up Southern BBQ fare in a casual space with a vintage vibe.

Great service and sauces, decent vibe — brisket execution holds the food back. First time here, so I’m looking forward to having my mind changed.
Quick service, and reasonable prices for what we got. The combo sand, which had their slaw, house pickles, brisket and pulled pork. A heart stopping combo, but one I’m willing to take the risk on again. Their chipotle mustard and habanero vinegar go hard as well.
My wife got the beef brisket which also came out fast which if the sign that says “Good BBQ takes time” that statement is very true. The brisket was alright, but she says was “underwhelming” as some of the fat hadn’t rendered enough, and it came out at a temperature that was less than ideal, sort of a lukewarm, heat lamp temperature. I want to be proven wrong, and I’d be happy to give this spot another shot.

We got the half rack, rice and corn bread. I felt like I was down south… Amazing food. Sometimes I pick up the feed bag for the whole family dinner… Cheers

Not even sure where to start. The pulled chicken was just a spanish style shredded chicken. The brisket was very dry and the burnt ends were just chopped brisket. Cornbread was burnt and dry and the macaroni salad had a starchy texture/taste it. Definitely wouldn’t recommend for anything other than a soda.

Delicious BBQ. Quick service. Limited seating more of a take out place. We did dine in but it was a snug.

Its either this or Redbones. Can’t go wrong either way. I think blue ribbon edges out Redbones. Can’t go wrong with anything you get here. So damn good. My go to is the brisket or burnt ends. Place is one of the best

I ordered food here for pickup, half barbecue chicken, whole jerk chicken, 3rd rack of ribs, and 2 sides of the collard greens —
While the ribs were well done, the chicken was severely undercooked, omg nasty.
The collard greens tasted sandy, like they weren’t pre-washed.
Shame on you guys for even associating yourself with BBQ.

Ordered the half chicken with greens, baked beans, and cornbread. The price was good for the amount of food. The taste was acceptable and the service was very fast. Perhaps this buried the lead, but the hair in my food was unfortunate. It’s a local restaurant and that is important, but so is public health. I am sure they will address this issue.

Great place with reasonably priced barbecue options! As someone who has lived in Texas, i must say they are authentic and their beef brisket tasted amazing, tender and flavorful! They have three types of sauces to choose from: sweet BBQ, golden BBQ (basically with mustard) and hot BBQ. All are great and you should mix them for better flavors. Their pork ribs St. Louis ribs were great too. Dirty rice was also yummy. Will definitely be back for more!

If you could bottle the smell of Blue Ribbon BBQ, I’d wear it as cologne. The moment you walk in, it’s pure smoky happiness. The staff are friendly, the vibe is laid-back, and the food… well, let’s just say I’ve had actual dreams about their pulled pork sandwich. The sides are just as good — mac and cheese that means business, cornbread that doesn’t crumble under pressure, and collard greens that taste like someone’s grandma made them.
The portions are generous, prices are fair, and somehow everything tastes like it just came off the pit at a family cookout. Only downside? You’ll spend the next hour wondering if it’s socially acceptable to go back for seconds. Spoiler: it is.
