Gettin' Basted Competitors

Founded in 1992 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, RibCrib’s modest beginnings began with a smoker, a retrofitted old house, and founder Bret Chandler’s desire to cook the best hickory-smoked meats and home-style sides. Since that modest start, RibCrib remains deeply rooted in the local culture where we operate our restaurants. We’re 21st century ‘cue that pays homage to barbecue’s roots, but we’re also not afraid to embrace new definitions, new dishes and new personalities that have emerged. Our authentic, smoked kissed barbecue is the real deal and our restaurants are built upon a family of franchise operators who share the same passion for generously serving food and their communities. We’re interpreters of classical styles and makers of new ones. We’re complex and simple at the same time. Today, RibCrib has spread to eight states and more than 60 full service and fast casual locations. Backed by a strong culture and a management team determined to knit together a new story that depends less on old stereotypes and antiquated business models and more on a new golden era of barbecue that showcases restaurant profitability and efficient operations – RibCrib is looking for future restaurant owners that can emulate those same values.
