The Riptide BBQ Story

Voted the Best BBQ on the Coast 2009

A long time ago in the deep lush woods of Lincoln County a young lad was born. He was educated about living off the land and sea, using anything that crawls, slithers, flies or swims. He was taught nothing goes to waste, and everything has great flavor (including the Shine) if handled with care, and time. His name is:                             Depoe Bay Bob           (DB BOB).
After the 6th grade he moved to the ‘south’ and learned other talents like playing the Banjo,and hog calling. As a young man our future BBQ pit master  studied the art & science of cooking in an oil drum, and turning out the        best damn BBQ around.
One day DB BOB became homesick for his beloved Oregon coast woods so he hitch hiked back. When he arrived home he decided to open a BBQ joint named the Riptide.
The Riptide offers only choice cuts of BBQ meats; we use local products from Oregon & Washington States. All of our rubs, BBQ sauces, side dishes, baked goods are made in-house, and fresh daily. We make our own sausage; smoke our bacon; smoke our corned beef, and smoke certified seafood from local fisherman. We use no preservatives, are gluten conscience, and package to go orders as environmentally friendly as possible.
Ours is the only true Alder wood fired BBQ on the central Oregon coast. This means we use whole wood harvested right here in Lincoln County. We don’t use chips, or charcoal, pellets, lighter fluids or liquid smoke in the bottom of our roasting pan. Simply put we use real wood, to bring you real BBQ that’s truly flavorful and tender meal.
Our Breakfast menu is truly unique for the Oregon coast. We use the BBQ meats in omelets, biscuits and our own sausage gravy, breakfast sandwiches and more.
We also cater BBQ events, parties, and all kinds of gatherings. We can come on-site or package our BBQ in easy to handle containers for you to serve.
We are open 7 days a week so come on down and get some of the best vittles around. On behalf of the Rip Tide BBQ Crew, we would like to thank you for your patronage.
