About Rib Crib

Rib Crib. Where BOLD Began
It all started in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1992, the first Rib Crib restaurant opened in an eighty-year-old house. Seeing as how our first location wasn’t even air-conditioned, it’s clearly been about the food all along: amazing sauces, original rubs and mouthwatering smoked meats. Well over a decade and many franchises later, it’s still about the food. But today’s Rib Crib is about first-rate facilities too: relaxed, inviting, uniquely atmospheric…and air-conditioning.

What's Next
Nothing but opportunity in sight. It’s the outlook you’d expect from a group of energetic people united by one great idea. That idea is to combine an outstanding barbecue-based menu with exceptional tableside service in unexpectedly upscale surroundings. It’s not something you see around much. Which is strange, given the enthusiastic response we get in every new market we reach. And we’re reaching more of them every day.

A Successful Formula
Differentiation. Positioning. Branding. It comes down to knowing who you are and what you do best. At Rib Crib, we’ve done our homework and developed a unique business model that’s complete to the last detail. And our unique, “Where Bold Began” slogan lives in every part of our company – from the interiors of our restaurants, to the folks that work here, to the delicious barbecue we serve every day.

Individualized Approach Leadership
Leaders are born…then made. If you’re going to lead, you’ve got to be smart, spirited and specially trained. At Rib Crib, we tailor our training to supplement the natural talents of our staff in order to help them realize their full potential. Our finely-tuned operations manuals and training programs are tops in the industry.

Choose Your Own Destiny
Taking care of our own. At Rib Crib, over 80% of our corporate staff were once employees at our restaurants. What does that mean? For one thing, we’re talking big opportunity for growth here. Working at Rib Crib can mean much more than just a job and a paycheck. It’s a bold career move.

Hear it for Yourself
I’ve worked for some other major restaurant chains, but their training isn’t anything compared to what I’ve gotten in this job. Rib Crib procedures and policies are crystal clear, and their trainers honestly seem to want to do everything they can to help me succeed as a manager.
- Heather W., Manager

There aren’t many companies anymore where you can start at the bottom as a cook and, with the right kind of initiative, end up as a corporate executive. I know this whole scenario may seem completely unbelievable to some people, but that’s exactly how it happened to me!
- Phillip S., Sr. Regional Manager

I really feel like I’m learning something valuable every single day. I learn from customers, other managers, and especially, the staff. They’re not just employees here to pull a shift. They’re a team that works hard to communicate and cooperate – with me and with each other. And that’s really important, because the pace here is pretty quick; there are no boring days at this job!
- Jack R., General Manager
