Unfortunately, this wasn’t a good experience for us. The restaurant feels very outdated, and the food was disappointing enough that we only ate about half of our meal before leaving.

There was an unpleasant smell inside like a mix of mold and an old house which made it hard to enjoy the experience. The location also isn’t great, which added to the overall discomfort.

The one positive is that the service was good and the staff was polite. However, based on the food and overall atmosphere, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

I want to thank the Blue Ribbon bakery staff members and management team for all that they did to make me a happy customer. Long story short there was miscommunication when ordering a themed cake. They did a design that I was not very pleased with but the manager and staff member managed to redecorate my cake under a time crunch and gave me a discount which shows how much they value their customer happiness. Thank you again, the cake turned out perfect. Great staff, great service, great value and quality. Highly recommend Blue Ribbon Bakery.

We stopped in here for a late lunch and it was busy even at that time. I think people were there for their lunch specials.

Portions were large and I ended up taking half of mine to go for later. I ordered the Crispy Chicken on Chiabata bread special. It came with fries and a small cup of coleslaw. Food was okay.

Service was quick but we were forgotten a few times. We had to flag our waitress a few times.

We stopped on our way thru for a quick lunch. Everything we absolutely delicious. I get a hot turkey sandwich pretty much everywhere that I see if on the menu. This one was perfect. I ate every last bite. The quesadilla for my daughters boyfriend was huge and surprise! Came with fries! My 7 year old son gets soup at almost every meal and he loved this soup. Noddles a lil mushy. His grilled cheese was picture perfect. My 17 year old daughter ordered breakfast. The best part of a REAL diner. Even had jelly for her toast! We one hundred percent will return. Hopefully soon.

The restaurant is always a friendly environment. The food is good. Can be accommodating. Waitress are always friendly and always seem to know what you need. Our last Waitress we had was Maureen – very friendly, kind and patient. Not getting upset if requesting another item after giving check. We always get a slice of Bavarian Cheesecake whether it’s breakfast or lunch!

I ate at the Blue ribbon diner on Thursday January 29th 2026 and as always everything was great! The food was delicious and as always the servers or fabulous and did a great job as well as the chef. I would like to thank Chad and Amanda specifically for the great work they do. I love their sense of humor and we had fun chatting. I have been coming there for years and will continue to come there for years to come. Keep up the good work and thank you for what you do. -Jim

Our first time at Blue Ribbon. Our server (Shelly) was AWESOME. Very attentive and made sure to time everything just right so each course came out just as we were finishing the previous. You get ALOT of food with your order (soup and salad included). Our orders were up fast, served hot and tasted AMAZING. We were full and even had food to take home. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!

Been here time and time again , always been delious. Our server was friendly. He checked up on us to see how my table was doing. The service was fast and the food came out quick. Keep up the good work. I highly recommend coming on it to give this restaurant a try. The desserts are top notch. They are made from scratch in their bakery which is right next to the restaurant. I’ll be back.

I recently tried the Blue Ribbon (diner food has been my latest fixation for some reason) and really enjoyed it! Loved the coffee, the western omelette was delicious, and the toasted cornbread—ugh, so good. The staff was warm and welcome, and the service was efficient. I’d definitely visit again—still need to check out the bakery across the diner!

Excellent service and food. As a Greek, I recommend their moussaka and galaktoboureko. Delicious! Staff accommodated our late arrival cutting into their clean up time. Thank you for making us feel welcomed.
