FRANCHISE INFORMATION
Overview
There are two dimensions that make a restaurant a truly remarkable dining experience. One is the atmosphere. Now in the world of BBQ, at least, it can be tricky to please everyone's tastes. Most BBQ restaurants find it difficult to appeal to your "hardcore, hole-in-the-wall, hometown, loyal juke jointers", and your "mother of three needs to feed her kids something besides pizza if only there were a place to get BBQ ribs and my feet didn't stick to the floor" type customers at the same time. Yet Bad Bob's BBQ restaurants are renowned for just that, and people all over the country are beginning to see what it means to visit a Bad Bob's. If the smell of championship quality smoked ribs and chicken doesn't hit you from the street, then the twang of Memphis blues and the bold red and black decor will certainly grab you right as you open that door. The Bad Bob's mascot, with his snarling grin, just about sum it all up.
Why BadBob's?
In 1994 BadBob’s started cooking as a hobby in local BBQ contest. In 1997 BadBob’s BBQ started cooking in Memphis in May sanctioned BBQ contest all over the country, finishing 4th in the world from 1997 thru 2000, 3 out of the 4 years. This among many other state championships and bbq contest awards. During this period of time BadBob’s developed the award winning sauces and rubs that are used and sold on the retail market today. Products like HawgRub, Cockadoodle Rub, Special Sauce and more are just a few products we produce for our restaurants both in bulk and for retail sales. BadBob’s currently has multiple locations in the TN and KY areas with new locations coming aboard. BadBob’s started franchising in June 2002 and has become an overnight success. BadBob’s utilizes special computerized cooking techniques to help reduce labor cost. BadBob’s also uses specialized point of sale software and hardware to help control your store.
