The Blue Ribbon used to be one of my more favorite places to dine at over the years as I have been at Ft. Bragg AD military and as a civilian for over 16 years. I have eaten all over post as a soldier way before these were calling themselves restaurants or Bistros, or (?) As a soldier we simply knew these buildings as Mess halls or Chow Halls. So times changed, names changed..Fine...but here at WAMC over the years it seems the food quality has diminished and prices have increased. Now the argument will always be " Well for this same price of meal how much would you pay going Off Post for a meal". Well for starters Off Post I won't stand in line to order food off a cafeteria line versus it being brought to me fresh to order. Secondly, I can tweak my food to my tastes versus a cookie cutter 'This is all we got' style. So do you see now how we already took like $10.00 off a standard meal ? Am I not being fair and realistic? **Now to readers that may not be familiar with dining on a military facility : IT IS NOT A ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET. Everything you eat must be paid for!! Even a cup of ice is not free. I often get this from persons that have never dined on base anywhere and somehow they believe that military dining is all inclusive all you eat ..All day..Everyday!! Not True! Active Duty SM are not even entitled to eat all they can eat. Surprise Mom... (**The psyops dining had a buffet**) And the one point I hate to expose IS the Blue Bistro serves lunch meal leftovers for its dinner meal!! This is unpardonable! Food establishments are forbidden from serving leftovers. This is why so much food is thrown away each day. But Blue serves leftovers at the same price as it did for the lunch meal. (WhistleBlower) And many civilians patronize the Bistro #1 for simplicity sake and #2 as former service members we love the environment. Plain n Simple. We love standing in line because we love how this subconsciously reminds us of our time serving the country.

Prices are going up. Food is a hit or miss

It is really hard to find. For a hospital the hours are restrictive. They only take cash or meal card.

Fastest and best food in fort bragg, and great customer service. Quality!
Breakfast and lunch always on point and can't beat the price.
Nateicia Davis
The food was good and great customer service. Not a long line and not crowded at all.
David Miles
Good food for a cafeteria Well maintained and relaxing environment
walter stiehm
Very nice DFAC. Far less expensive than eating at a restuarant. Very clean. Good selection. The food is good, just as good as you'd expect at any fast food place. Staff are very polite. Small soda 30 cents, grilled cheese 50 cents, large chef salad $3.
