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 skip the wait for a seat and take their meals to go. – – The Food – Order an assortment of the Ribbon's slow-cooked meats to take a culinary…

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!
- Pros: best pulled pork
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!
