Never have I ever been disappointed. Always a great experience. Service on point. Everything delicious. Atmosphere classic NY. I love their chocolate bruno. I will always come back :)

We came in late at night but got seated without any wait, even though the place was still lively and full of people. We had the chilled lobster, crab cocktail, mezzo ball soup, and paella—and every dish was excellent. Super fresh seafood, comforting soup, and a really flavorful paella. It was our first meal after arriving in NYC late at night, and honestly, it couldn’t have been a better start to the trip.

This place does not disappoint! My 16 year old wanted to go for his birthday dinner and it was well worth it. Food was delicious, service was unmatched…. Absolutely recommend the fried chicken and pu pu platter

The best duck breast I've ever had! My wife had the paella, and it was both huge and delicious. The service was top notch. Quarters are a little tight, but comfortable.

Fantastic food. Most of the dishes were simple but flavors and techniques are done very well. The marrow and marmalade is one of the more complex dishes and is done so nicely. I saw the fried chicken coming out of the kitchen many times and i wished i had ordered it. Service was really good and the atmosphere is nice, not too loud. Great place for a celebration or date night.

One of the only places you can get a great meal after midnight and one of my favorite restaurants regardless of time. One of my favorite steak tartares in the city. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Always busy with great energy. They are so accommodating with food and reservations, call if they don't have anything online.

Okay, so this review is exceptionally overdue, but we are here now so let’s get into it. Back on July 9th, my brother took me to Blue Ribbon, and listen… this spot had been on my list for YEARS. I remember seeing it on TV, hearing people rave about their fried chicken, and then to top it off—one of my favorite chefs and mentors-from-afar, Bobby Flay, loves Blue Ribbon. So of course, it has been bookmarked in my brain forever. So, my brother hits me up like, “You want to go to dinner?” I’m like, absolutely. Then he follows it with, “I’m taking you somewhere with some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had.” And if you know anything about us—you know we do not play about fried chicken. At all. This is serious business. And because my brother is a foodie just like me, I trust his palate 100%. So we go. I’m ready to decompress, enjoy good food, have a whole moment. And when I tell you Blue Ribbon did NOT disappoint? Baby… they delivered. That fried chicken was crunchy, crispy, seasoned beautifully, and cooked to absolute perfection. Golden, crisp skin on the outside, juicy, tender chicken on the inside—everything you want fried chicken to be. And then they bring out this honey sauce… oh my God. Drizzle me in it. Let me bathe in it. It is sweet, warm, silky perfection and I want it on everything. I paired mine with mashed potatoes and gravy, and let me tell you something—those mashed potatoes were creamy. Like, CREAMY creamy. The kind that makes you close your eyes for a second. They came with greens (don’t ask me which ones because I genuinely cannot remember), but everything on that plate was delectable. We got appetizers too, because why not? It was my first time trying escargot, and listen—Blue Ribbon might have created a convert. I was skeptical, but those little snails in that garlic butter sauce? Delicious. Squeeze a little lemon on them? Even better. I would absolutely order them again. We also had the fried oysters, which were just as delicious. Even the bread service was good. Warm bread, soft butter—set the tone perfectly. Now you know your girl is not leaving without dessert. So I went for the banana split, and when I tell you it was one of the best banana splits I’ve ever had? Pure nostalgia. The vanilla bean ice cream was smooth, the strawberry ice cream had actual fresh strawberries in it, the whipped cream was perfect, the fudge, the nuts, the cherry on top—it gave EVERYTHING it needed to give. I will say the chocolate ice cream is very rich and very chocolate, and since I’m not a big chocolate girl, that part wasn’t my fave. But everything else? A win. My brother was so in love with the food that he ordered extra mashed potatoes and an extra piece of chicken. And honestly, I don’t blame him. Blue Ribbon absolutely made it onto my favorites list. That fried chicken with that honey sauce? YES. Absolutely yes. I will 100% be going back. If you haven’t been, go. Trust me.

FABULOUS!!! So many choices! We had lamb, beef, chicken, catfish, and 2 types of oysters. We also had a banana split, chocolate sundae, and vanilla ice cream. All were fantastic. The service could not have been better. I had a bit of a cough and they brought my hot water with lemon and honey without me even asking for it!

A guy I was dating told me about how orgasmic the beef marrow and oxtail marmalade is. So I had to try it! It was absolutely delicious, very tasty and very soft. James, the bartender was so personable, attentive, and nice. I loved him, will definitely come back to see him. He suggested the crème brûlée and it did not disappoint. It was the best I have had in years. It was thick and creamy. I highly recommend both dishes (beef marrow and dessert). The place it self is small and narrow, but very well staffed and service was fantastic. This makes for a great date spot, or just a night out with friends.

I couldn't have asked for anything more from this dining experience. The dishes align with reasonable expectations. Blue Ribbon Brasserie maintains standards admirably. Workers acted promptly, competently, and in a friendly way. This place offers clear benefits to diners.
