Andres Blue Ribbon BBQ — Restaurant in Town of Milford

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, and with a melt-in-your-mouth fat cap that’s simply unforgettable. Best I’ve ever had, hands down.

The place isn’t fancy, but that’s part of the charm. It’s exactly what you want from a BBQ spot a bit rough around the edges, filled with stories, and soul. Before we left, Andre gave us a tour of his smoker and even dropped a few brisket secrets (which I’m keeping to myself).

This is the kind of place you tell your friends about. You will find no frills or anything fancy about this place, just let his food do...

I'm in the area for Cooperstown dream park. It's pouring, this place was definitely worth the drenching for my takeout. I had bbq the previous two days at larger scale restaurants. They both fail in comparison to this joint. Ok this place is small, all the better, they keep it fresh! The decor is not fancy, they keep it simple, and it stands out in their bbq, their sauces are good too, but honestly the meat was so moist you don't need the sauces. I had the two meats plate pulled pork and beef brisket with slaw and cornbread. It was all slamming good. If you drive by this joint it's your loss. Sorry no photos, my appetite wouldn't allow me to...

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...
