    I have never ate at the hickory Hawg restaurant but I'm sure it's super delicious as I found the name to be quite clever

    The Johnson, AR location is the original for this multi location restaurant. The other locations…read moreare good, but there's something about the original. This location was recently renovated. You have to get the TX-style brisket. The green beans are sweetened and unique as far as green beans go. Service is quick; order at the counter and your order is ready when you arrive at the cash register.

    Three stars = okay. And that's what Wright's is. There, I said it. It's okay Q with a ton of…read moremarketing that is cruising on its long-time relationship with the area. Sure, the stores are nice and neat and tidy. Very "southern comforting" type of design. The staff is friendly, but only because it's running on Southern manners, lacking the charm. The food is good. If you gave it to me, I would eat it and not complain. Since I bought it, I will say it's okay, but certainly not legendary. Brisket was perfectly tender but not particularly flavorful. The ribs and chicken were both good, with the chicken (oddly) being the most flavorful thing I tried. Sides are overwrought and unbalanced. Back it off a bit, Wright's. The exception is the mac and cheese, which is the opposite and too much like Kraft with added cream. All the sides were meh. I will probably return if I'm nearby and there's no line. This place is definitely NOT worth waiting in a long line for--I'm not buying the hype. Okay

    Hugo's, much like Herman's Rib House is a Fayetteville tradition. Since the late 70's Hugo's has…read morebeen serving an eclectic American classic menu ( with some European influences). A well established hangout for Hog Fans especially on game day and you may even run into some Razorbacks legends while you are there. Pros: Consistent, quality food at a reasonable price. Great menu selection from crepes to steaks and everything in between. Cons: Hugo's is a basement restaurant location. This means seating is limited and the wait can be long. The stairs leading down to the restaurant can be hard to navigate if you are physically impaired, and depending on the day or time of the it can get quite noisy. If stairs, togetherness and nosiy spaces are not your thing, then this isn't the establishment for you. Overall, you can't go wrong with the food or hospitality, and if you're a Razorback fan, student, or alumni of the University of Arkansas dining here is a right of passage. Highly recommended Hugo's... come be a part of a Fayetteville tradition!

The service was great, and as usual the place was packed -- even on a Monday night. Hugo's is also a bar, so the atmosphere is a bit darkly lit, as would be expected. If you haven't tried Hugo's, get to it!
