In 1992, Bret Chandler opened the first RibCrib in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a smoker, a shack, and a recipe for barbecue. In that shack, a retrofitted old house, Bret offered a choice of five meats with two side options. He continued to refine his recipe by competing in barbecue competitions and learning from fellow pitmasters. Within five years, RibCrib expanded to six units. In 2025, RibCrib smokes barbecue on-site every day in more than 50 locations in eight states.

RibCrib is an Oklahoma-based restaurant that specializes in hickory-smoked barbecue and smoked meats in a casual, comfortable setting. The barbecue joint's signature recipe is in its slow-smoked ribs, but RibCrib also serves a complete menu of traditional sides and sandwiches.

Consumer Reports 2016 Winter Survey named RibCrib among the best nationwide for food taste and quality, menu variety, value, service and ambience.[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_25_36/ai_87917763 No kidding around: RibCrib barbecue chain racks up sales, popularity - Regional Growth Chains - Brief Article | Nation's Restaurant News | Find Articles at BNET.com]
