Michelin Guide

"This "chef's canteen," as it is typically hailed, is well-tread for masterpieces like matzo ball soup-enjoyable, aromatic, and full of root vegetables."

Michelin Guide

"Fried chicken with mashed potatoes takes home the gold medal for comfort classics."

Eater

"But do yourself a favor and rather than choose something gut-busting, line your stomach with a bowl of matzah ball soup. The broth is intensely perfumed with dill and the matzah balls exceptionally fluffy. Your body will thank you the next day."

Zagat

"Wonderful matzo ball soup."

Saveur

"The fried chicken at Blue Ribbon, a restaurant in New York City, boasts extra-crunchy skin thanks to a matzo meal crust; the chefs there serve it with bright collard greens quick-sauteed in browned butter."

Todd Coleman

"That entree, served with mashed potatoes and collard greens is one of the best versions of the classic meal I've tasted: crisp and juicy chicken, bursting with tingly spice and served with honey for dipping; surpassingly silky mashed potatoes; and collard greens that are tangy and crunchy, not soggy."

10Best

"Truth is the Bromberg brothers consistently get it right whatever it may be, from matzo ball soup to the fried chicken, no kidding."

Danyelle Freeman

"At Blue Ribbon Brasserie, the two manage to deliver a just as first-rate steak tartare as they do a comforting Matzoh ball soup."

Marisa Finetti

"The spherical, fluffy dumplings, bathed in golden chicken broth, are not all created equal, but at Blue Ribbon you’ll be treated to a bowl inspired by the Bromberg brothers’ bubbe."

Melissa Kravitz

"Known as having some of the best matzo balls in the city, Blue Ribbon serves up a notable bowl of soup. Their matzo balls use both chicken fat for heaviness and seltzer for fluffiness, to make the best of both worlds."
