Some of the best fried chicken in the city. If you love fried chicken, you MUST try this place. The French fries are pretty good too. They also serve hot dogs if that's your thing. They offer a variety of fountain or bottled soft drinks to help complete your meal. Polite staff. Fast food environment for sure. But MUCH better than fast food taste.

My favorite sandwiches are the buffalo ranch and the Firebird. The fries are a huge portion so you can totally share one small one between you and another person. They are shoestring so they are awesome.

Never had chicken with honey or spicy honey. I always knew it was a thing, but it was my first time trying it, extremely delicious. The service was fast and they were very pleasant and welcoming to me and my friends who were just stopping in for a taste.

The chicken here is delicious! Crispy, fresh and flavorful. The fries are small but good too. I'd definitely like to try some other stuff off their menu, like their smoked mac and cheese. Definitely try their honey sauce on the chicken. It's too good!

I ordered the chicken tender meal. What sold me is that it came with a side of fries and coleslaw. The food was good. They had a few different dipping sauces to choose from that were different. I tried the chipotle honey and bbq sauce. The chipotle honey was not what I was expecting. It literally looked and tasted like honey with chipotle seasoning. It was good. The food came out in a timely manner.

I'm over my price grudge, recognizing the broader economic trends of the neighborhood. Blue Ribbon's profitable continued existence is better than losing another casual joint to a wine bar or an apartment building that draws millionaires while playing on nostalgia for CBGB. "Unlike the iconic home of Blondie and Television, the bathrooms at Second and Second have doors - and they're made of reclaimed marble!" But I digress. Blue Ribbon's poultry expertise was never in question, to the point where I might even take a chance on their chicken finger hot dog.

**Came here starving, left out lazy & full I've been here a few times in the past, didn't really remember the food being as good as the very last time though. This may be a new menu item, but it's a bowl with Mac and cheese surrounded by the juiciest, perfectly fried chicken chunks you could imagine. Not sure how many times I scorched the inside of my mouth trying to eat the fresh fried chicken this night, but we'll worth it.
