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 favorite dressing is the Balsamic Vinaigrette, but I know the Caesar is pretty good as well. You can get the salad with pulled chicken or spicy chicken salad, but I find it is super filling just to eat the veggies... and the cornbread croutons... aaand the large slice of cornbread they give you with the salad as a side. Yum. You can't go wrong.

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 you like low and slow smoked pork you have to go to blue ribbon!

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!
