Our Story

The Family Behind the Food

Deeply rooted in Spartanburg, the Rigsby Hospitality Group is built on a simple promise: legendary service and world-class hospitality.
Our Story Portrait of Jeff Rigsby

The Rigsby Standard

Led by entrepreneur Jeff Rigsby, our journey began with a single desire: to serve. Jeff’s vision for the Rigsby Hospitality Group (BSR) was never just about opening doors—it was about opening a seat at the table for the entire Spartanburg community. By blending professional excellence with a ‘family-first’ culture, Jeff has transformed the local dining scene into a destination for innovation and connection.

Community

Our collective love for this community drives us forward. From drawing crowds for shows to serving nonprofits through fundraisers and events, we believe in taking any opportunity to celebrate—and making a difference while we’re at it.

Passion

Food tastes better when it’s made with love. Our passion for everything culinary drives us to deliver greatness from our kitchen and bar to your table, whether it’s a celebratory meal or just a Wednesday night.

Innovation

We like to keep things fresh, from our ingredients to our ideas. From our 36-hour Pork Belly Banh Mi to our Stairway to Heaven cocktail, we’re constantly reimagining the classics and trying new things to keep your taste buds surprised.
