Johnny Roger's BBQ & Burgers

Hi! We are Barrett and Sarah Dabbs, two foodies with a passion for serving delicious food. Having both worked in the food service industry for a combined 41 years (wow, that makes us sound so old), we have always dreamed of opening our own restaurant and bringing the “something that’s missing” concept to our neighbors. For years, Barrett and his Dad, John, have personally catered our menu out of their homes for friends and family in Cabarrus and the surrounding counties. Over the years so many folks have commented on our BBQ and have asked “when are you opening your own barbecue joint?” Our BBQ seasoning (aka our Butt Rubb) and our BBQ sauce (aka Fat Boys) are family recipes that John and our Uncle Gary created many years ago (they are really, really old…lol not really, but they have aged like fine wine). With the blessing of Barrett getting laid off from his Regional Director of Food and Beverage gig in July 2017 and Sarah entering the corporate world from a career in education (helloooo, Sugar Momma), the timing was perfect (thank you, Jesus) for us to move forward into becoming your family’s new favorite eatery. So here we are, ready to serve you…our famous BBQ, gourmet burgers, yummy chicken sandwiches, soft serve ice cream for dessert, or whatever your heart desires (as long as it’s on our menu). Welcome to Johnny Roger’s!
