Boston area GRUB experiences

[MCA]

Red Bones.

BBQ Hash to start = amazing.

Combo plate; Brisket and Memphis ribs. Insane.

Expensive.

Owners son went to college w/ me....food is ok. Not my favorite, and somewhat overrated in my opinion.

[JohnCreese]

I agree.

Blue Ribbon >>>> Red Bones

[Section 40]

You can't get shitfaced in Blue Ribbon = Redbones > Blue Ribbon.
Also and plus, If you sit next to the kitchen the cooks will give you whatever happens to be handy whether it be ribs, brisket, pulled pork..... I've never received a complimentary anything from Blue RIbbon.

[Boston]

I agree.

Blue Ribbon >>>> Red Bones

I'm a fan of Redbones, but I agree with this

[JohnCreese]

For the "experience", RedBones is better, sure.

Blue Ribbon's food tastes better and it's considerably cheaper.

Catering- no contest- blue ribbon is basically 1/2 the price for 2x the quantity.

I never proclaimed Red Bones to be better than Blue Ribbon. I've been on the Red Bones/Overrated train for awhile. (I used to live right outside Davis; ate there a lot.)

However, I will say that last nights Red Bones experience was my best yet.

Blue Ribbon is much cheaper.

Groupon or one of those other websites was selling Blue Ribbon coupons a while back. I think it was $30 for $15.

[One Up in Peabody]

Awesome. Thanks for the heads-up.

Where's Blue Ribbon?

[mcm]

if you are heading westbound on the pike i think its right off exit 16, so west newton i think?

only been there once, after a BC football game

[Sim]

Where's Blue Ribbon?

the one I go to is on Mass Ave. in Arlington.

[Section 40]

The Newton locale is on Washington street, right around the corner from Paddy O's Pub.
There is also an Arlington Location on Mass Ave right across the street from Stop and Shop.

[mcm]

didn't know there was more than one

[mcm]

I'd still go to Buff's over Blue Ribbon 7 days a week and twice on Sunday

[Boston]

sooooooo rearad will drive to Blue Ribbon in West Newton and Arlington but not to Five Guys in Dedham?

total sense
