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.
The tradition began in September of 1996 when our first Bandana's
BAR-B-Q opened in Arnold, Missouri. Our mission remains the same, to
provide the best Southern Style BAR-B-Q, with exceptionally quick
service, in a friendly, family atmosphere. Our real wood pit smokers
operate 24 hours a day, which is why you can "SMELL THAT SMOKE" every
time you come to Bandana's BAR-B-Q.
