    Blue Ribbon is a place that I visited during "Dine-In Park Slope" - Park Slope's version of their restaurant week which was held from August 20- August 30th.  Blue Ribbon is a beautifully well lit establishment that has a bar w/ chic seating arrangements.

    Blue Ribbon's "Dine-In Park Slope" dinner special consisted of three courses for $29.99 which is a pretty good deal. Because they ran out of the 1st Course initial salad that was being offered, Server Marissa let me know that they were going to substitute a different salad instead - Watermelon and Feta Cheese Salad. Well, it was one of the  best salalds that I have ever had....fresh greens, sweet ripe watermelon slices and feta cheese. Complimentary flavors, which were the sweetness of the fruit, taste ot the greens and the saltiness/tanginess of the cheese, made for a refreshing salad.

    I chose their signature Chicken Dinner for the 2nd Course. The Fried Chicken w/ Mashed Potatoes + Gravy was definitely delicious! Blue Ribbon's Fried Chicken is so incredibly well-seasoned!. Server / Bartender Fredy informed me that Blue Ribbon is well know for their chicken which is their specialty. So deliciously seasoned is the chicken that I ate every bite -lol. Creamy mashed potatoes w/ gravy and complimentary bread w/ butter made my meal complete. Yes, I was full yet looking forward to the 3rd Course at the same time...

    Mango Sorbet for dessert was the 3rd Course - it was nice and light. Thanking Marissa and Fredy for the lovely customer service along w/ the fantastic meal,  I left shortly thereafter and knew that I would return soon to try more dishes.  

    Fast Forward - I went back the other evening for dinner and enjoyed their Chicken Sandwich w/ Mashed Potatoes.  

    All in all, Blue Ribbon receives 4.5 Stars thus far which includes my overall experience during bouth of my visits. I will be back for some more delicious fried chicken!

    Super awesome spot with excellent service. Went here for our first wedding anniversary and accidentally chose the fried chicken based on other reviews. Will compare all other fried chicken to this spot from now on. Sets the bar extremely high and most delicious food I've had in a while. Worth the price. Can dress up or dress down for attire here but totally worth checking out if you're searching or on the fence.

    Bonus: had PBR on tap. Haven't found that in years on tap. Keep it up Blue Ribbon!

    Sarah was our server and was very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and friendly.

    The food was delicious. Happy hour menu was impressive- we loved the wings and ribs. The burrata and tomato salad was fantastic. Skip the shishito peppers.

    Thanks for a great dining experience!

    This place is the perfect mixture of date night and casual happy hour.  The happy hour menu is great if you want to try some of the apps.  Most notably,  you can get the wings and ribs by the piece versus a set amount when you order of the regular menu.  We got the ribs, which were so amazing I'm already ready to go back to just have those for dinner.  They come with a spicy mustard but I preferred them with the sauce they came in.  The fried wings were good, heavily flavored and breaded, but I was a little disappointed by the fact that it just came with regular honey as the sauce.  The lobster Mac was divine.  We got the pork chop (fine) and seafood stew for dinner.  The stew came with a garlic bread that was great for dipping.

    Saturday night, reservations
    Service was great
    Margarita: smoky, good
    Cabernet: good
    Special appetizer fried rice w tuna: 6 pieces, quite a tasty crunchy bite
    Free Bread and butter: solid, nothing special
    Bacon cheddar burger: had it medium, was okay, not impressive but didn't hurt my feelings
    Fries: thin, crispy, good
    Kale salad: solid
    Everything was great except the burger. Our friend enjoyed her meal, so I gave a 4. Also I'm in a giving mood right now. Wine does that
