Andres Blue Ribbon BBQ

This is excellent and real traditional BBQ with charming and informative service. Mostly importantly the meats were amazing, tender and flavorful. We didn’t need to use any of the homemade sauces as good BBQ should be able to stand alone and it does! Patrick the owner was a great character giving us all the history of the their BBQ and more and real hoot! We sought out this place as have found other great BBQ restaurants in upstate NY and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Do go!! Didn’t get photos of the food as we were too busy eating and enjoying it!

I should keep this place a secret! If you’re looking for the real deal, look no further than Andre’s Blue Ribbon BBQ. This is a true mom-and-pop gem where the food speaks for itself and so does Andre. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and stories that could only come from someone who’s been doing this for decades. Andre’s philosophy is simple: good BBQ stands on its own and doesn’t need sauce but he has it and it's made in house if you need it. Sold! He’s been at it for over 20 years, carrying on family recipes from the Carolinas, and you can taste the legacy in every bite. We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, and spare ribs with sides of cowboy pinto beans, baked sweet potato, and coleslaw. Every item was top notch, but the brisket stole the show, juicy, tender,

Absolutely best BBQ in oneonta! The brisket is AMAZING. So tender and juicy, the pulled pork is also a favorite of mine. The prices are unbeatable and the portions are generous! The guys are super nice and very welcoming too. We keep coming back because it is simply the best 😊 can’t wait for you guys to open up again in the spring

5 stars isn’t enough. Thick cut brisket that melts in your mouth. Ribs that come clean to the bone. A father and son business that does BBQ old school. There was too much food so we took it home. That never happens. They are very proud of their food and have every right. This place is worth the drive.

Loved this place. Firstly, the owner (Frank I think?) is a real peach and super friendly, we chatted the entire time I was waiting. He smokes his meats for 16 hours and the flavor is incredible, you don't even need sauce!! Brisket was my absolute favorite, super tender, flavorful and nice portions. I ate 2 large meals from one-3 meat plate. Sides were pretty good but a bit simple, still very flavorful though. Everything is made in house! Prices aren't updated online so I took some pictures of recent price changes. Definitely drive PAST Brook's and head down to Andres about a mile or 2 further.... you won't be disappointed!
