Rub Me Raw BBQ is a family passion brought to life by Josh Dillon and his family, rooted in Elkins, AR. Built for the love of the pit — from backyard cookouts to BBQ competitions.

Pure flavor impact

The Story Behind the Rub

Rub Me Raw BBQ was born from a passion that never stays still. Josh Dillon — pitmaster, competitor, and seasoning perfectionist — built this brand from the fire up in Elkins, AR. What started as a love for competition BBQ evolved into a full lineup of premium seasonings trusted in his own kitchens: Rub Me Raw BBQ & Catering and the community's newest favorite, Rub Me Raw Burger Co. — where every burger is seasoned exclusively with Rub Me Raw blends.

For Josh, every cook is a chance to get better. Every competition sharpens the craft. And every jar of seasoning on your shelf carries that same relentless pursuit of flavor.

From our pit to your plate — we don't cut corners, we rub 'em raw.
