The Rib Crib Story...

It all began with an abandoned  house and a dream. In May of  1992, Bret Chandler opened the first Rib Crib In Tulsa, Oklahoma, in an 80 year old abandoned house on 16th  and Harvard. Working with few employees  and no air conditioning , Bret  served his select smoked meat in wax baskets from behind the counter.

 Thanks to friendly service, delicious smoked meats (such as the restaurant's signature hickory smoked ribs) and classic side orders, Rib crib opened to great fan fare. In fact, the barbecue was so well received, there were times when Bret's small crew could not smoke the ribs fast enough.


Today Rib crib continues to serve amazing sauces, original rubs and mouth watering meats smoked the old- fashion way (on-site at every restaurant and served with the perfect smoke ring). At heart , though, we're still all about the food and friendliness of your neighborhood "BBQ joint" and we believe you will find our staff as friendly - and our food as delicious -as when we started back in May of 1992.
