Testimonials

Came in with my family on Mother’s Day lunch. The diner was outrageously busy but the food and service was worth the wait. I ordered the Knife and Fork burger while my wife ordered the Applejack Grilled Chicken plate. Absolutely delicious, hot food! Our waitress, Haylee, was outstanding! She had given us amazing service along with being busy! Super nice and attentive. Everyone go support Blue Ribbon Diner in Burlington!

When you picture an old-fashioned diner in your mind, this is it. The menu has so many choices that it's truly difficult to make a decision. I had the Buffalo chicken quesadilla & fries - absolutely delicious. And the lemon icebox pie was almost as good as my grandma's. The server was very friendly and attentive. My water glass was never empty (and I drink A LOT of water)

I recently moved here from Pennsylvania. I've missed diners. I'm so lucky to have found the Blue Ribbon Diner. It checked off all of what I've missed. Great food, outstanding staff, and the smells and the sounds of other customers made me feel at home again!

Vicki

Brought family who was visiting from Connecticut. The atmosphere was perfect for us in our 60s & 70s. The service was perfect– the waitress pulled a couple tables together and of course was sweet, welcoming & professional. The food was, as always, unbelievably delicious. And our guests couldn't believe they could get free drink refills!

Cazden

Everything was fresh and delicious! Shrimp was hand-breaded and perfect, as was the okra. Sweet potatoes fries were awesome and the homemade strawberry cobbler was fantastic. We will be back!
