If you are craving top-tier, Texas-style barbecue in Northwest Arkansas, Wright's Barbecue is a…read morepremier destination. When it comes to pure flavor and quality, this place easily earns a 5/5 stars. The brisket is phenomenal--expertly smoked with an incredible bark, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, and rich flavor that stands up to the best out there. To top it off, the supporting cast of sides is fantastic, rounding out the meal perfectly. As for the value, I'd rate the quantity and price closer to a 3.5 to 4 stars. The portions are definitely not huge, and considering the price point, they really should include at least 50% more meat to make it feel worth the cost. The Verdict: I would definitely go back because the quality is hard to beat, though the price-to-portion ratio means it will likely be more of a periodic treat rather than a regular stop. Great service and love the local flair of the location. It's also at a trail head and makes it a nice stop for a beer and grub spot.

It came with a side and I got the mustard dill potato salad which was decent and a good portion. The habanero 200 bbq sauce was sooo yummy. I also liked the Carolina bbq sauce.

I went almost at close so it was slightly dry and think earlier in the day it'd be less dry. This wasn't a deal breaker by any means. I think they stand as a quality BBQ. Wrights is obviously the big dawg in the area, but I found Beach BBQ better in flavor and not as fatty/greasy. I felt it closer to true BBQ instead of just long and slow cooked meat which tend to be more meat focused rather than BBQ focused. I'm a happy customer and recommend Beach to anyone!

The restaurant also looks like everything a great bbq spot should, clean and bright with huge smokers outside with lots of picnic tables in front of maybe the biggest screen I've ever seen!

The baked beans-delicious and even better the next day, but everyone other side was a no go. The mashed potatoes while seasoned perfectly are a bit on the pasty consistency even with the skins being included. The coleslaw and deviled egg potato salad were HEAVY on the mustard, overwhelming so. The deviled egg potato salad was also over seasoned with dill and honestly tasted nothing like a deviled egg and watery. The Mac and cheese was thin/watery and lacking flavor-lacking that thick cheesiness a good bbq Mac side should have. Servers/staff all in hustle mode! Clean restaurant indoor and outdoor seating

The kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. I'm a brisket guy. Have been my whole life. And this brisket? It earned it. Order it moist. Don't overthink it, don't ask questions -- just say moist and trust the process. You'll understand when it hits the table. Everything we had was firing on all cylinders. This wasn't a meal I'll forget anytime soon, and I don't say that about many places. If you're passing through -- or even if you have to go out of your way -- make it happen.

I eat mine plain but they have quite the selection of burgers and fries/ring options. The drinks are in a fridge with normal selection of sodas and teas along with bottled water. The price seemed fair and I was able to use Apple Pay off my phone. I was given a beeper and found a table behind the trailer. I wish there was a little shade over the tables but nonetheless it was a pleasant day so no worries. My pager went off and I got my food freshly made and hot. The fries were good. They had a little batter to them and they were good portion size. The burger, however was a little disappointing. It seemed to be a patty premade almost frozen style. I wish they would make 1/2 pound burgers with fresh meat and hand make the patties but that's not the case. After eating lunch I decided I would not go back until they improve burger quality.

So in the interest of evaluating the hype, I ordered some via UberEats and it did not disappoint. First off, thanks to the Uber driver who got the burger and fries to my hotel while the food was still hot and the sodas were still cold. I was able to enjoy the juicy and flavorful King of the Monsters burger in all its 1/2 lb glory! The jalapeños were sautéed in just the right amount so that the heat was still there, but the flavor wasn't overwhelming. What I really loved was the balance of all the ingredients together, resulting in a taste of cream cheese, sautéed jalapeños, crispy onions, hot honey, peppered bacon, and Howdy Sauce in every bite. I also got the Pennywise Fries, which I was skeptical about but wanted to give a shot anyway. I was gobsmacked. Queso on fries can be a challenge to the novice, but the expertly cooked cheese was just the right consistency... not too thick and not too runny. I washed it all down with a couple diet dr. peppers and I went to sleep a happy man. I will DEFINITELY be back next time I'm in town.

We had their barbecue sampler, which is a great value, and was plenty for my wife and me to share. It came with some garlic toast, and a selection of sauces. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, was that their pickled onions weren't pickled enough; they were a bit dry, and still had a fairly strong onion flavor. (I took thrm home and used my own recipe to finish them up, and I'll be taking them back for them to try.) The atmosphere is casual, and the service was friendly and helpful both times. Give them a try.

We ordered a three meat plate w/two sides. We were correct- it's enough for two ppl. They were out of ribs. Ordered pulled pork, sausage, brisket, potato salad & coleslaw. The pulled pork may actually have been chopped. It had a good flavor as well as the brisket. I like both just a little more tender. The potato salad tasted like the kind you buy at the grocery store...yellowish with bits of pimento. Slaw was good & the sausage...wow! Hot! I love spice but if you don't, be careful! Nice staff! We ate here on a Thursday evening to hear some live music. Like most of the food trucks at 8th St., sit back & wait for your buzzer to go off, then enjoy!

When you arrive there is parking around the square or in the lot to the side of the restaurant. As I mentioned earlier it feels like an upscale pub when you walk in, but this is also a historic building. Tusk & Trotter sits where Sam Walton's original general office and warehouse was located. We sat in the bar area as we also stopped by the restaurant during happy hour. For food we started with the Arkansas Fritters (Ralston Family Farms rice with ground beef, house-made sausage, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, dill & lemon chipotle remoulade & chow chow) which were packed with so much flavor. For our entrees we ordered where the Buffalo roam (Sayersbrook Bison Ranch patty, brioche bun, cheddar, swiss, bacon, chipotle aioli, over easy egg & LTOP) which is definitely the highlight with a side of fries. The burger fell apart and you could tell it was extremely fresh. If you are in Bentonville, this is a must try!
