Bar-B-Cutie Franchise Restaurant


WATCH OUR FRANCHISE VIDEO! Our track record of serving delicious Baby Back Ribs, Mouth Watering Grilled Mesquite Chicken and "The World's Best Barbecue Since 1950" speaks for itself! After nearly 60 years of business success, we are offering franchise opportunities to entrepreneurs who want to own and operate their own Bar-B-Cutie^® restaurant. Then…And NOW! Bar-B-Cutie opened its doors back in 1950 on Murfreesboro Road in Nashville, Tennessee, serving short orders (known today as fast food) and the best Bar-B-Q found anywhere. Car hops to delivered our delicious food to customers' automobiles. A small dining room accommodated up to 20 guests.

Eddie and Mildred McFarland purchased the restaurant in 1958, expanding the menu with Southern comfort foods. They added a much larger dining area and the business began to prosper beyond their expectations. If it could be tried we tried it, and if our way didn't work, we improved it. Bar-B-Cutie soon became a family affair, and now the McFarland Family is enjoying its third generation of management. We now are poised to grow our BRAND in the U.S. as well as internationally. Our food is great and our pricing is reasonable, and when you put that in a clean and comfortable atmosphere coupled with superb service, you have a winner. We truly care about our franchisees as well as our customers. We welcome you to take a closer look at our franchise opportunity!

Bar-B-Cutie wants potential franchisees to fully understand what they are getting into. Our style is to lay the cards out on the table so you can make a well informed decision. When you have been in business for almost 60 years you understand how things work, and that is why we are so proud to offer you the opportunity to join our franchise family.
