It's a cross between a diner and a casual restaurant.The prices are a little high,but you get what you pay for.

I have been coming here for a long time and absolutely love it! The eggs are never watery like some diners, and they make their muffins on premises and the blueberry ones are too die for when grilled up and buttered! I always hate it when we have to go somewhere closer in proximity!

A huge menu, quick service, quality food, inexpensive prices. What more would you want? My wife and I were driving through Schenectady and called ahead for lunch to go. It was waiting for us when we zipped in and out. I'd love to go back and sample more from their extensive menu!

We went to Blue Ribbon as a family and friends group, for Saturday Breakfast. Tables were available, even with a full parking lot, service was fast friendly and effecient, and the food exactly what I'd expect for a big diner-style restaurant.

Breakfast at the Blue Ribbon has turned into a tradition for us when we visit my son and his family in Niskayuna. My grandsons absolutely love this place, and the staff really cater to young kids. It is always crowded with families on the weekend. Breakfast portions are generous, and they will scale down youngsters' portions to anything you request.... More

We live in Rochester, NY, and travel to Schenectady to visit our son. We discovered the Blue Ribbon on our first trip. Over the past two years, we've stopped for breakfast, lunch and dinner there, on weekdays, weekends and holidays. We always get a great meal!
