About Blue Ribbon Barbecue

Blue Ribbon BBQ, located at 908 Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington, Massachusetts, is a celebrated barbecue restaurant known for its authentic Southern-style cuisine. Established in 1997, this location is the second in the family-owned chain, following the original in West Newton, which opened in 1995. Inspired by classic roadside barbecue joints of the American South, Blue Ribbon BBQ offers a diverse menu featuring regional specialties such as North Carolina pulled pork, Kansas City burnt ends, and Memphis-style ribs. All meats are slow-cooked at low temperatures over oak and hickory hardwoods, resulting in tender and flavorful dishes.
