Blue Collar Restaurant Group
Book Now
Blue Collar Restaurant Group is a family-owned Jackson Hole restaurant company behind several of the town's most-used everyday eateries, including Bubba's Bar-B-Que, Liberty Burger, Sidewinders, Merry Piglets Mexican Grill, and additional concepts. The right fit is travelers planning multiple Jackson meals who want context on which restaurants are connected, plus families and groups using the group's casual dining options across a stay. The wrong fit is anyone wanting a single fine-dining destination; FDRG and other groups serve that lane.
Inside the operation
A multi-concept restaurant company running family-friendly casual restaurants across Jackson. Concept range covers BBQ (Bubba's), burgers (Liberty Burger), Mexican (Merry Piglets), Asian noodles, sports-bar food (Sidewinders), and breakfast formats. The group uses beef tallow and avoids seed oils on the cooking line, which differentiates them from chains and matches a specific health-conscious diner profile. Most locations operate year-round across breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Why the group matters
Three reasons. First, breadth and consistency. Travelers can rotate through BCRG restaurants across a multi-day trip and find consistent service, kid-friendly menus, and quality. Second, the cooking-fat choice. Diners seeking restaurants that cook in beef tallow rather than seed oils have very few options outside the group; this is a real differentiator for some patrons. Third, longevity. Family-owned and operated for decades, with deep relationships across the local food and labor markets.
How to plan around BCRG
For a multi-day Jackson trip with kids or groups, plan one BCRG dinner (Bubba's BBQ or Merry Piglets) and one BCRG lunch (Liberty Burger) across the trip. The food works for the post-activity hunger window, the prices fit family budgets, and the casual atmosphere accommodates groups without ceremony. For private events, several BCRG locations handle larger groups; reach out to the group office for catering or private dining.
Key Highlights of Blue Collar Restaurant Group
Two honest tradeoffs. First, BCRG restaurants run casual; not the destination for refined dinner. Second, peak-season waits at the most-loved locations (Bubba's, Pinky's pizza adjacent, Merry Piglets) are real; arrive off-peak or use takeout to avoid lines.
Word to the wise
For a no-fuss family trip, build the casual dinners around BCRG locations and save the special-occasion night for a non-BCRG restaurant (the Blue Lion, Snake River Grill, or FDRG's The Kitchen). The BCRG dinners cost less, accommodate kids better, and free up the evening budget for the special meal.
Bottom line
For Jackson Hole's most-coordinated portfolio of casual family-friendly restaurants under one family-owned operation, Blue Collar Restaurant Group is the parent company behind several daily-use options. Plan around the individual restaurants, use the consistency as the asset, and reach out to the office for events or catering.
