This BBQ is amazing. And I'm from Texas. There's an incoming storm. I passed up another bbq place and went 10 minutes out of my way on bike to try this one. It's well worth it. The brisket is as moist as my bike shorts after crushing the Slaughter Pen Trails all day and way more flavorful. If you know me, you know that means super moist. James takes such pride in his food. I hope he always keeps this passion. Super nice guy and the food is amazing. So give it a shot or a beer. They serve both. I'll definitely be back. read more

Wow, if you're like us and drive by Beach Bbq often, please finally make the decision to stop in!!!!! We were absolutely blown away. The customer service was impeccable to begin with. We went on a Tuesday night so it wasn't very busy, and they let us try any meat or side we wanted/they recommended. We didn't feel rushed and enjoyed talking with the managers assisting. The meat was soooo juicy and tender! My favorite was either the pork belly or the brisket, but the turkey deserves a noteworthy mention as well. We tried all the sauces and they were all pretty good but the sweet bbq sauce was probably my favorite as it kind of tasted like it maybe had balsamic vinegar in it? My bestie got the salad and it had me drooling Mac and cheese was a white cheddar type, which also happens to be my fav kind! They use fun cavatappi noodles which really pick up the sauce well. Even the bread slice was really tasty! The building was really cute and really clean inside. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings in the main dining area and appreciated the flow of the restaurant. I highly, highly recommend Beach Bbq as it may just become your favorite bbq spot in NWA. read more

If it wasn't for the deafeningly noisy ambiance, this might have been a pleasant dinner. The chopped beef sandwich was excellent. The coleslaw and potato salad were average. The pickled onion was a nice addition to the condiment selection. The noise though...yikes! read more

Wow! Just a great lunch at Beach BBQ Today. First off, April was awesome! She helped explaining the menu, showing the sides, sampling the different sauces that they have available. Now about the food, We had the 3 meat platter w 2 sides. Best Brisket I've ever had. Tender, juicy, great bark and seasoned perfectly! Ribs were tender and had great flavor, the pulled pork was tender and juicy with a great flavor from the special seasoning dust that April sprinkled on. Mac n cheese was very good and the Greens were tender and had a little Hot Sauce kick. We will be back again and maybe try the chicken and smoked turkey! read more

The Ledger had food catered from here and I just had to go try it for myself. I was pleasantly surprised! I was given a free sample of food and the service was great! The food is also sooo delicious! Their brisket is is so good! I also had their wings! read more

Listen. This place is so good this is my first review in 30 years on this earth cause it finally gave me motivation enough to tell everyone else about it. The food was so good, we got brisket nachos and brisket sandwiches and we ate so fast I couldn't even take a picture. The only picture I got was this amazing art in the bathroom which tells you everything about the vibe of the people and place. Just do yourself a favor and go here. We ate our meals and then ordered more to go because we don't live in the area. read more

I stopped by and honestly was like "another bbq place" and wasn't sure it was "legit". But was feeling better when I saw all the piles of wood. And the entire back "yard" of the restaurant was smoker after smoker. So glad I stopped! If you like burnt ends...come early because it seems like these are the first to go. I had the brisket. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice thick pieces of melt in your mouth brisket. I think it may have been the best I have ever had. Side of collard greens that were so flavorful! Place is clean and nice. They could probably up their game on more outgoing counter help. She didn't like answering questions. The guy however was upbeat and may have been management or owner. I will be back and try to get there early for the burnt ends. read more

Some of the best food I've EVER had. Presented well with awesome service and amazing atmosphere. Great look with wood beams exposed, hand written chalk board menus and bar. Portions were small compared to price but the taste made it worth it to me. read more

Ordered the Giant Beach for the family with pork belly, collard greens, Mac n cheese, and baked potato salad. Firstly I wish that rolls were given as that pulled pork would go great in sandwiches but we had some rolls in the freezer that we used. Second, the sauces were tasty but runny, you needed to drown your food with sauces for the desired effect but that is personal preference. The sides: Mac n cheese was good. Sauce was lacking and didn't stick to the noodles but taking the container and flipping it upside down will fix that. Noodles were great. Collard greens were delicious. The greens were cut smaller than I would like but the flavor was there. Baked potato salad was good. I wish that I would have tried the other one just to see which one was better. Pork belly was a great mix of fatty and meaty. Jeez that was so good! It went quick as soon as the word got out to my family. Brisket was great. I appreciate being asked if I want fatty or lean. I went for half and half which was a great choice. Again, pulled pork was good and will continue tomorrow when we make pulled pork sliders! Will try this place again! My curiosity has peaked! read more

We had the chopped brisket sandwich. It was good but not great. Service was friendly. read more

Wonderful bbq, melt in the mouth turkey and brisket. Ribs super tasty. Friendly service and a nicely designed interior. Will be back....compares well to Wrights! read more

Not the worst food ever but probably would not come back. Man taking orders was very friendly, good service but the food was lackluster... Brisket was chewy and not seasoned well. Baked beans were awful, worst I've ever had. The saving grace were the spicy sausage and green beans, both were quite good. Food was not cold, but definitely not hot eitherOverall some good things but the brisket and baked beans really bring this place down. read more

We visited bc we saw a review that said Beach could be as good as Wright's. And it was a Monday and Wright's was closed. Well I'm definitely eating at Beach next time I'm in town, and I'll try Wright but only if there's extra time. We had brisket sandwich and 2 meat plate with brisket and hot link. Mac and cheese, collard greens and slaw for sides. Also the free pickles, white onion and pickled red onion. It's been four days and il still thinking about it lol. My husband (considers himself a) bbq connoisseur and he said the brisket was really well smoked and had great flavor. And he loved the hot link too. The sausage is made from the brisket pieces left from chopping brisket. It wasn't my favorite but I'm not a sausage fan in general. The collard greens were good texture and had a lot of vinegar. The slaw was shredded cabbage in a mayonnaise dressing. I love slaw and I liked it a lot. But the Mac and cheese? O. M. G. It was divine. Like I would drive an hour to have this Mac and cheese again. It was spiral pasta tubes and a white sauce. SO flavorful from the blend of cheeses, and sooo smooth and creamy. One of the workers stopped by the table to ask how our meal was and I think I waxed poetic about the Mac and cheese a little extra bc do you know that sweet man brought me an extra scoop of it? I brought it home and reheated it the next day and it was just as good! Oh, did I say I rarely eat bbq out bc it's so heavy and often not as good as at home? Well, you can bet your booty I'll be back at Beach bbq anytime I'm within an hour's drive. read more

Are you kidding me? This place is off the chain! Seriously. James does a fantastic job with the meats and sides. Here are a few pointers for first timers: The Brississippi is really good as a sandwich or a side, the smoked turkey is really good, brisket in general and pork ribs are excellent as well. My favorite sides are: esquite (not always available), mashed potatoes and gravy and mac and cheese. Another hot tip: they are open 7 days a week so stop by on Sundays or Mondays! read more

Soooooo FKN GOOOD. Stop your search and EAT HERE! The service was great, the food was insane and the offering from the bar were great!

Great tasting BBQ. While there are a couple of great choices nearby this is by far none still demand respect rated as one of the best. Taste was phenomenal only wish I could have had more meat no sides. Great addition to the area for sure. Located centrally vs. the other side of town. Great service. Outside seating available. Beach in town. read more

Amazing food and even better people! Super friendly and generous group, meet with a sample of the meat and after our meal they gave us free banana pudding!!! Great experience!! read more

I ended up here on accident because basically everything else was closed, and I am so glad it happened!! The workers were all incredibly nice and friendly! One offered me a chunk of pork belly to try (sooo good) and then even let me try some of the sides! I think the kimchi coleslaw was the best but you really can't go wrong. I'm bad at math so I didn't give them as big of a tip as I meant to but at the very least I can give a good review. Definitely give them a try! read more

Beach Bbq - Pork and Mac plus some bonuses! - Bars Near Me - Bentonville, Arkansas

Delicious!! Came here for lunch and I'm so glad our friends picked it. The 2 guys working couldn't have been nicer. We received samples of the burnt ends and pork belly. I'm a burnt end snob and they were amazing. Not super fatty but not tough either. They have so many sides! The baked potato salad was one of the best I've had. I brought the extras of it home to KS and finishing it made me sad. My husband and I split a 3 meat with burnt ends, pork belly and turkey. The turkey was very tender. They also have a list of free sides like potato bread, pickles, onions. One of the employees came up to us towards the end and asked if we wanted seconds! Like who does that?! I liked that they had an extra sink outside the bathroom so people didn't have to wait to clean their hands. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Beach BBQ impresses from the minute you pull in their parking lot. A well designed building and landscape, invites you in. Upon entering you are met by friendly and helpful staff who are willing to share and answer all questions with enthusiasm! Their smoked meats and sides are mouth watering delicious! A great selection of canned and bottled beverages as well as a nice selection of local tap beers! I had the chopped brisket sandwich with a side of Kim Chi Cole Slaw! Wow on both. The Mac and cheese side is a solid bet and the freshly prepared pork Rinds come out crackling (literally)! read more

We went on a Friday evening, expecting a long line, and it was just perfect. The food is served cafeteria style, order and wait for your food. Pulled pork was excellent, and the serving size was huge. They do not put the sauces on at the counter, rather they are on the table. The brisket I have to admit was to die for. The serving was large, and I wanted to eat three servings. Side dishes, including macaroni, potato salad, mustard, potato salad, beans, and a couple others. Between the three of us, we had the potato salad and beans. All good stuff. Searingwas inside and out and we chose outside. Ling tables, family style, but lots of flies. Lots of traffic noise. This is not a hole in the wall, and it's not a five star restaurant. But great if you like barbecue food. Three of us came in at $70. They also have abar fully stocked. Yes, I'll go back when I'm back in Bentonville. read more

I love bbq where ever I travel I have to try it. I've in Bentonville several times but I found this place on this app so decided to try and blowed my mind. I had brisket and pork belly and it was absolutely insane delicious. Stuff was extremely friendly and courteous. I will definitely come back for more. I will highly recommend this BBQ place. read more

So today was the second time I came here and they are still amazing. To find any restaurant in NWA that is consistent with their quality is a rarity and to find one that actually has flavor to satisfy a discerning palate is near impossible but they hands down do both. We got the rosemary pork belly, it was melt in your mouth and a flavor explosion. We also got the Carolina pulled pork, which if you've ever had Carolina style BBQ you know it's the best, and the brisket. For sides we had Mac and Cheese and Potato Salad. Anyone who says Wrights is better BBQ than this is insane, Wrights can't even begin to compare to the quality of the smoke on these meats or to the flavor profiles Beach BBQ put together. If you are looking for a restaurant that actually gives you more than your run of the mill options you need to go here. The service was phenomenal there was no barely aware young person who says blandly "what do you want" and can't wait to get you out of the line. No they gave us samples to try so when we got our plate we knew exactly what we wanted and knew we wouldn't be disappointed. For a BBQ place it was cozy not just outside picnic tables but some actual tables inside to sit down and enjoy your meal which is much appreciated in the summer time. If you actually have a taste buds and enjoy quality don't go for a brisket with no flavor or smoke ring at Wrights but go to beach BBQ and treat your palate to something delicious. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday night. James and staff were very friendly and offered samples of anything we questioned. Counter service I'm not thrilled with, but it does keep the staffing low. The food was great. My wife and I split a 2 meat platter. Brisket and pork belly with macaroni and potato salad. There is a patio area, but it was too cold to attempt. Will consider the next time we have an event that we want a lot of meat and picnic type sides (baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad or macaroni & cheese). read more

Texas transplant approved! This place was on point. Very generous portion of food on the 3 meat plate. We got the burnt ends, smoked turkey and Moroccan garlic sausage with the mustard dill potato salad and Mac and cheese and chased it down with that sweet tea! It was all so good, but I very much enjoyed the turkey it was moist and flavorful; paired with the Carolina bbq sauce it was a flavor explosion we would recommend and will be back again soon!! ! read more

James Beach is passionate about making quality and delicious food and it shows in every item on the menu.

While there is no doubt this place is pricey, it's worth every star as this is high quality BBQ at it's finest. It wouldn't be right to limit this to the food though, which is phenomenal - I've had beef ribs (ridiculously good), pork ribs, pulled pork, brisket, burnt ends, all exceptional - but the service is also top notch. I was blown away by the hospitality, knowledge and friendliness of the staff and will continue to bring my business here on the regular and tell everyone I know, they need to come here. I've eaten at many of the top BBQ places in town, I haven't found one better than this... Anywhere. read more

Great BBQ for those looking something local, chill, and most importantly...delicious! The BBQ pork Spareribs were moist and falling off the bone! read more

Pork Belly, Beef Rib, & Brisket are wow! This place has some of the best BBQ in NWA. Fat juicy meats for sure. But i love that, most other BBQ places have very dry meats which I quite dislike. Recommended A+++ read more

Beach BBQ is passing off chuck roast as "Brisket Burnt Ends". Paid $32 a pound for "brisket burnt ends" that were 100% USDA chuck roast. Most people probably wouldnt notice. I got burnt ends here about 8-9 months ago and they were brisket. If you are going to cut corners sell an honest product (poor man burnt ends/chuck roast). Won't be coming back. read more

Awesome brisket! It's hard to find good BBQ that isn't smoked with a sugar rub, but this place has it! (Not all of us can eat sugar). I'm picky when it comes to BBQ, but Beach BBQ did not disappoint! The seasoning is perfect, with just the right amount of smoke & fat cap. Its juicy, tender & delicious! read more

Sooo good. Easily the best smoked meat I've had in the area. No offense to others but their Turkey was absolutely incredible! My hubby had the brisket and for the first time I understood why. I always expect thin slices of dry meat but these were these THICK slabby slices of juicy, moist beef! He loved the beans and potato salad. I liked the Mac and cheese but go so full on the meat itself read more

This is a different review than most. Here is why. My son-in-law had lunch at Beach BBQ and saved me some of his lunch. He knows I love BBQ, he also knows how picky I am. Well, he brought leftovers to me and I just had them for lunch. Oh My! I can honestly say, leftover their brisket is better than any I have had in NWA. That's leftover! The sausage was spicy and no grease at all. Great lightly burned skin and great flavor. They know how to smoke sausage, and... it was leftover! The last thing he brought was the collard greens, they were very flavorful and spicy. I don't know anywhere else in NWA that can serve anything close to this. I'll say it again, these were leftovers folks. Not fresh off the stove and smoker. This was hands down the best I have tasted. My wife and I have been eliminating restaurants lately as it seems like they don't care about quality. We are ADDING THIS TO THE TOP OF THE LIST. read more

Passing through, lucky find. Comfortable and clean. I could only try the brisket, but it was fantastic. There is a good variety of sauces and regular and sweet were both good. Potato salad was excellent. Cole slaw was good. The night manager was very keen on making sure everyone in the dining room was satisfied. He brought me a sample of the Macaroni and cheese. It is a speciality, creamy and wonderful cheddar flavor. I must duplicate at home. Again, the BBQ was fantastic and I will come back with a big appetite to try it all. The entire crew was pleasant and focused on my satisfaction. read more
