Black Forest Ham, Smoked Liverwurst & German Bologna These are perfect fixings for a Super Bowl sandwich platter. Just add a loaf of your favorite fresh bakery bread and some spicy mustard. Patak Meats
Ribs & Brisket
Tender, Smoky And Delicious…. Again This is one habit we have no intention of breaking.
Smoked Sweet Potato & Kale This is always one of our favorite sides at Community Q. But, this time we both seriously missed the charred edges on the kale. Normally, we fight over those bites. Hopefully, we’ll see them next time. And, we would have enjoyed the depth of flavor a bit more smoke would add (and has added on other visits). The collards were having a bad day, too. They were a bit over-cooked and a touch too vinegary.
Chicken, Collard Greens & Potato Salad This might look like backyard barbecue fare. But, it is oh-so-much better. Hidden under that golden brown skin lies white and dark meat so tender that no knife is needed for cutting. Touched with just the right balance of smoke and spice, this chicken proudly takes its rightful place at center stage.
Come & Get It, Y’all! Community Q BBQ
Lobster Crackers
Hot? No, Not At All. Fishy? Yes. Now, this is coming from prawn cracker fans. The fishy taste was bordering on overwhelming in these lobster crackers. There might have been a tiny hint of lobster flavor hidden in there. But, the generic fishiness was just too much for us. And, to make matters worse, they were quite hard, dense and stick-to-your-teeth clunky.
Oishi Spicy Prawn Crackers Now, these were really good.
They might not look like much. But, there’s a nice touch of spice to them. And, these crisp airy puffs have a burst of salty, savory crunch with a nice little hint of shrimp. Hong Kong Supermarket
Mixed Seafood Salad
A mix of greens, scallions, white onion, and fine shreds of carrot…
…mingle with tender scallops, calamari and shrimp. Dressed with a tangy vinegar laced with garlic and spice, it’s just so SO good. From the freshness of the greens to the sweet tender bites of scallop to that touch of tangy garlic-y zing from the vinegar, this is one perfectly delicious way to make a salad.
Spicy Basil Catfish
Spicy Basil Catfish This deep, dark sauce is full of rich complex flavor. But, they might ask you if you really want it spicy. Say yes, please!
Curry Chicken Creamy, mellow, mild and comforting. Thai Restaurant of Norcross
Blue Ribbon Grill House Salad Topped with roasted pecans, gorgonzola, and red onion, this is one satisfying salad. The assorted mixed greens were dressed with a very nice gorgonzola vinaigrette.
Blue Cheese Burger With Sweet Potato Fries Loaded with oodles of blue cheese, thin slices of red onion, tomato and lettuce, you don’t want to overlook this burger. That would be a serious mistake. Blue cheese pairs beautifully with rich ground beef that’s seared over high heat and touched with pink at the center.
Melty cheese, Big Beef Patty & A Sesame Seed Bun You’ll want one of these.
Ribeye With Fried Onion Strings We were both impressed with this piece of meat. Blue Ribbon Grill offers a respectable prime rib, too. It was that surprisingly good prime rib that made us give the ribeye a try. Normally, we stick to the burgers and grouper sandwich at Blue Ribbon Grill. Not anymore, we’re glad we gave this ribeye a chance. How often do you get the chance to refer to a ribeye steak as a “good value”? This was a good value and good eats.
It might be a tad beyond medium rare. But, we barely noticed. We were too busy commenting on the nice sprinkling of salt and pepper that so often gets forgotten. The Blue Ribbon Grill has more than its fair share of seniors. (Or, “Cotton Heads” …That’s an affectionate term we use. It’s the ex-Floridian within us rearing its silly little head. In Florida, a “Cotton Head Alert” at a restaurant tends to be a very bad thing. Frequently, it signals bland and boring food. Cotton heads have finicky old bellies, dontcha know.) But, don’t let that scare you away. There’s some great neighborhood grub hiding out in the lovingly battered dining room that is Blue Ribbon Grill. The Blue Ribbon Grill
Thumbs Up Cola & Coconut Juice The coconut juice was lovely with our refreshingly spicy meal. The Thumbs Up Cola? We have to say it. We’re not fans. There’s an unpleasant chemical taste to it that we did not enjoy.
Bullet Chicken Loved it! This might look a bit like sweet and sour chicken. But, these crispy chicken chunks have a great spicy kick. While we eagerly gobbled up each and every bite, we think it might be too spicy for some.
Crispy Chili Shrimp The crispy chili shrimp dish is almost identical to the Bullet Chicken. The one real difference is a slightly heavier breading on the shrimp. This breading didn’t hold up to the sauce quite as well. This caused it to get a bit soggy toward the end of the meal. We still enjoyed it.
Crispy Chili Paneer Deep fried crispy paneer chunks in chili sauce with red onions and scallions, this might just be one of the tastiest paneer dishes we’ve ever eaten. Again, nearly identical to the shrimp, but without the breading. These three dishes are listed as appetizers on the website. But, each of these dishes was served with an equally generous portion of rice. That makes each one these choices a very hearty meal. After feeding two very hungry individuals, we ended up with more than enough leftovers for two lunches.
Shahi Falooda Kulfi Those three little mounds of pistachio dusted kulfi drizzled with rose syrup top a bowl of soft vermicelli in a thick syrupy sweet cream. Yes, it’s VERY sweet. But, with each version of this dessert we try, we enjoy it a little bit more each time. The interesting blend of textures and flavors create a pleasantly unique sweet treat.

Good Morning!
Omelette Filled With Avocado, Tomato, Sprouts, Monterey Jack & Sour Cream
Served With A Generous Mound Of Crispy Home Fries
Chock Full of Tomatoes, Peppers, Sprouts & Cheese We didn’t expect to love this as much as we did. Especially given the fact that these eggs are very thoroughly cooked and quite firm, we were both stunned by our fight with each other over each and every bite. The combination of tomato, peppers, cheese and sour cream was pleasantly light in flavor and fresh tasting. Make no mistakes, this certainly wasn’t light in calories. This was one hearty meal.
Blueberry Buttermilk Griddle Cakes
The pancakes were fine. But, the blueberries were bordering on unpleasant.

Country Fried Steak with White Country Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, & Squash Casserole If you don’t specify white country gravy, you might end up with brown gravy on your mashed potatoes. So, be sure to ask. We both loved the fact that the country fried steak wasn’t drowning in sauce. Bonus points added for appropriate sauce usage.
Crab Cakes with Succotash & Squash Casserole This meal was firmly planted in the OK camp …except, that squash casserole. It was dripping with butter in the most frightening of ways.

The two soft-shell crabs were buried underneath the green curry sauce. But, they were both crisp.
