RibCrib
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. Reach out today for more information.

Ribs & Burgers
They say if you want to be great at something you’ve got to focus on your strengths. Well, here at Ribs & Burgers our name says it all. Our fresh, hot, succulent burgers and eight hour slow cooked ribs are known to stop the clock. Not to mention our friendly service, cosy vintage furnishings and warm welcoming atmosphere. A meal at Ribs & Burgers is like stepping back in time, to a restaurant started by your local butcher who decided to put their cooking advice into practice. It starts with ‘real ingredients’. The grills crackle with hand prepared, grass fed, hormone free, 100% pure beef patties and free range chicken breasts made to order the way great burgers should be for a rich and natural taste. The foundation is the bun made up of organic flour, which we toast slightly on the inside until it is nice and golden brown. This gives it strength as well as a soft, chewy texture which won’t stick to the roof of your mouth. Once we have the base and have added all the fresh ingredients, we pluck our char grilled ‘hero’ from the open flame and place it on top. The hot basted patty settles on the leaves with its warm juices filtering down to the base for an ‘all through’ rich taste. Well balanced and prepared for a burger experience we trust you’ll appreciate. Then there are our ribs… slow cooked for 8hrs to ensure that the meat is cooked in its own juices for a stronger natural flavour, just the way we know you love it. No effort is spared to prepare these beauties. It’s all about quality. From sourcing the finest cuts to our traditional preparation, we make these ribs to be talked about (with a great taste on the tip of your tongue). Let’s not forget our tasty side selection of our addictive chips, freshly cut salads, mouth-watering onion rings and signature sauces. This passion doesn’t stop at the kitchen either, we support local farmers, sponsor community groups and help feed those less fortunate. Why? Because we believe honest food and genuine hospitality can help feed a better world.

The Backyard Grill
We may not be the lowest price option in every category, but we are the low risk option across the board. We guarantee our food will be fresh, hot, delicious and on time, every time. When we serve, our staff will be friendly, helpful and efficient. We are easy to work with and will reduce your stress level dramatically. When the New England Patriots came to town for the Superbowl, we were the caterer of choice (and we executed perfectly.) If we can turn an event for 1700 people around in 8 days without a hitch, we can do the same for you. Choosing to spend your catering dollars with Backyard Catering also keeps your money here in the community. We are a family owned business in Cypress, not a chain based in Chicago, or an online ordering system based on the West Coast. We live here, go to church here, hire people from here and invest in this community. The Backyard Grill has been a fixture in the Cypress/Jersey Village community since 2001. Our family friendly atmosphere, fun staff and scratch-made food make this the top restaurant in the area. Backyard is heavily involved with the community, supporting Cy-Fair area schools and non profits not only through donations and discounts, but our annual BYG Bash Golf Tournament benefitting both Cy-Hope and the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation . In 2017, when Hurricane Harvey hit the Houston area, Backyard focused on feeding those that had been displaced, and the first responders tirelessly working on helping them. In the end, we served over 12,000 free meals. MARK MCSHAFFRY has continuously owned The Backyard Grill since 2001 and has worked in the restaurant/bar business his entire career, running and owning numerous establishments as well as being on the boards of a number of local Non-Profits and a recent past chairman of the Cy-Fair Chamber of Commerce. Mark also is one of the owners of Creekwood Grill. JENNISA MANGOLD has been an important part of Backyard Catering for many years and is the Catering Director. Her personality and passion for detail have brought her ...
