    By far the best bbq I've had on my trip to Little Rock AR. Ribs, brisket, cheesy potatoes, potato salad and peach cobbler.  delicious.

    Best place to come and have some delicious bbq. Service was great, country music in the back ground perfect.

    As an eighth generation taxes, girl, my standards for barbecue are pretty high. I rarely eat barbecue out of state besides a certain establishment in downtown Memphis. But I'm so glad I took the risk and stopped into back home. On our way back home. The portions were generous the sides left me, wondering how could I re-create them at home. The ribs were exquisite, the cream, corn and cabbage should not even be considered vegetables! They tasted of all kinds of yummy goodness. The staff was so friendly and just as excited as we were about our first time trying the restaurant. We will be back anytime where anywhere near Little Rock! Thank you guys for an amazing barbecue experience. This Texas girl is a convert!

    Cole slaw, chili and brisket

    Food has excellent flavor and good quality. Staff are very friendly and ambience is very small town field. Restaurant is clean. Price is reasonable. We'll definitely be coming back. Sides are really good too.

    2 meat combo with a side of ribs. Brunswick stew and chili.

    If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. I take BBQ serious and have gone out of my way to travel to all the BBQ states and try all of the better known establishments. With that said, I have a very high standard in which I rate a place. Let's start with the highlight, the meats. I ordered the ribs, brisket and turkey. All three were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The ribs were super tender. The brisket had great smoke rings and packed juicy well seasoned punch. The Turkey, turkey is was very moist and again, tasted great. Great smoke flavor on all three. Now to the part that left me wanting more. The Sides.....I usually order potato salad and beans, but I went with Brunswick stew and chili. The stew looked very promising, but it ended tasting bland. The chili, although not bland was fairly boring. Now, I would not be surprised one bit if people read this and stay that they love both. I wish I would I have ordered my standard to have a better comparison. In all, this place is very good.

    So I saw this place on Instagram a few months back and have been plotting my visit ever since. Luckily I had to be in Little Rock on business and I called the buddy of mine and asked if he wanted to go to lunch. Barbecue sounded great so we decided to give it a try. I tried to order as much as possible on a budget! I'm pretty sure I blew that budget, but I had meals for three days which worked out even better. Pork belly bites, they had great flavor and were tender. How can you go wrong with big chunks of bacon! Even reheated in the air fryer they were good. Brisket very tender not as fatty as I had hoped. But it just depends on where they are at on the brisket when cutting. Great smokiness, good flavor, and a good bark. Did not reheat as well due to the limited amount of fat. Texas Twinkies. Probably my favorite item on the plate. Who doesn't like bacon, cheese, jalapeños, and pulled pork. Tasted great there, and reheated well in the air fryer. Jalapeño cheddar sausage, this item was probably my least favorite unfortunately. Don't give me wrong. It was good, but I've had way better. Would I get it again yes probably. Coleslaw was great, had a lot of carrot in it and I couldn't tell if that was Apple or not but they used it. It was a different flavor, which was great. It's always good to try. New twist on coleslaw. Smoked sausage and cabbage. The best side I have. I was shockingly surprised at the tenderness of the cabbage and the depth of flavor provided. I will definitely get this again. Overall, this place was a great experience and I look forward to my next visit.

    We stopped in here on the way back to Texas. Easy stop 5 mins off the exit. Great food, fresh and tasty. Beautiful and clean facility and the staff obviously takes pride in what they do. We got two smoked turkey plates with sides of cheesy potatoes, cole slaw, cabbage and sausage and creamed corn. All was amazing! Highly recommend

    Finally made the trip to Back Home BBQ. You know, talking about BBQ in the south is almost like talking about religion. It's solid, love the atmosphere, the people are friendly, and a phenomenal ventilation system. The brisket was moist and tender, their pulled pork needed no additional sauce. That sandwich was pretty great. Both of these were winners and the best in town. What fell short for us, the potato salad needed more seasoning. The bbq beans are a ranch style, almost like chili beans. The ribs were my least favorite. It's a fattier rib which people do like. I'm more into the meat fall off the bone type. 100% loved this place. I can see why others do too. Definitely will be back.

    Brunswick stew, banana pudding, cheesy potatoes, jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket. Brisket and sausage are MUST trys.

    Excellent Brisket and sausage. Been with big groups there several times and never heard a bad review. Cowboy beans are probably least impressive side. Mostly because they resemble chili more than what people are expecting from bbq beans

    Chopped brisket, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage.

    I walked in with high expectations. And they were met! I walked in believing that Wright's barbecue was the clear number one barbecue in the state, any state. I walked out unable to distinguish which was better between Wrights and Back home. They had two types of brisket, a fatty cut, and a lean cut. All of the meats were as good except for the burnt ends. While they were good, they were not as good as Wright's barbecue. The people were great, friendly service, good conversation, and they know they barbecue! I was pleasantly surprised going in with such a hard critique. It's a must try! Atmosphere is in downtown Little Rock, brick walls with Texas country music playing Good vibe, small town diner feel almost.

    1st family trip to Little Rock; read reviews so we ordered 2 briskets & 2 pork's ribs with green beans with bacon, zucchini salad cheesy potatoes & baked beans. WOW Wow, meat was tender & delicious. The pit master was kind enough to show us how they bbq the meats for 17 hours in the smokers. Highly recommended

    Brisket platter, cheesy potatoes, and dirty rice.

    We've been watching this spot for months waiting for it to open. Street parking only and we had no trouble at 11:45 on a Friday. You wait in line to step up to order cafeteria style. This can be slow as there is only one register but staff was very friendly. Hubby and I both ordered a meat platter with two sides. We shared so we could try more items. My platter was brisket (they slice as you wait), cheesy potatoes, and dirty rice. For $20, you get two decent slices of brisket and a scoop of the sides. You can choose between a mustard -based sauce or traditional. The brisket and cheesy potatoes were ok but the dirty rice was outstanding. Full of meat and topped with a burnt end. Hubby's platter was the original sausage, cowboy beans, and Mac n cheese. The sausage was good with a nice snap. The Mac n cheese was forgettable but the beans were very good with some heat. Two platters plus one drink (and one water) was $48.00 with tip. I'm not sure how I think the pricing will hold up in a market with a lot of great BBQ options but I wish them luck. Would I go back? Maybe but probably not high on my list.

    We flew into Little Rock hungry for some real food. Starting off, the exterior brick building has charm. " Lotta Smoke n Little Rock n". The employees here were respectful, something I don't see much any more. Now to the food, the brisket was so tender. It was very flavorful. My favorite side was the coleslaw. Honestly this was the best BBQ.

    Ribs and brisket and cowboy beans and potatoes salad
    Judy J.

    The bbq is so good. I got the two plate meat with brisket and ribs and the brisket is so tender and tasty and just delicious and the cowboy beans were delicious and plenty of meat and the potatoes salad was good as well. My first time going but not my last time

    Probably the best pork belly I've ever had. Brisket sandwich was incredible too. Sausage and cabbage was great, all at a decent price.

    Wow! BEST BBQ I've ever had, ever! The meat is so flavorful and soft. You don't even need a drop of…read moreBBQ sauce unless you absolutely love sauces. Every bite was incredible. We had the turkey, brisket, and ribs with deviled egg potato salad and mac n cheese. I snagged the banana pudding as an afterthought, and thank heavens I did. I finished it, and we immediately started looking for the Wrights banana pudding recipe. Divine--all of it--from the service to the ambiance, and the very best part: the food.

    Flew in town to shoot a commercial and this place came highly recommended. And oh boy, it did not…read moredisappoint! I could smell the glory of the bbq from the parking lot and that's when I knew I was in for a treat. I got the 3 meat plate but I don't have any photos of it because I couldn't help myself by the time I sat down. The ribs fall off the bone effortlessly. The bacon (which was my favorite) were to die for. They just melt in your mouth! The brisket was moist and not dry at all. The sausage had incredible flavor. My choice of sides were beans and mac. Both were great and perfectly portioned. There's plenty of clean seating and TV screens to watch the game on. I don't drink alcohol but they have a dedicated bar which was nice for others in my party. One of their staff, Montreal (who was an absolute sweetheart) even came to take our plates right as we were finished. After hearing we were from out of town, she brought us banana cream pie which I loved. I could not be happier with my entire experience at Wright's Overall 10/10. I'll be back!
