    The Ultimate Platter. 3 meats, 4 ribs, and 3 sides. Of course, all meats were incredibly tender & full of flavor. Try their BBQ sauces!
    Jenn R.

    All their awards displayed is your first indication something special's a-brewing. The second indication is their expansive dining space to accommodate all their guests. And the third is the smell of smoked meats wafting in the air. All those things combined and you just know you're in for a great meal. THE FOOD. - The Ultimate Platter | It's 3 meats, 4 ribs, and 3 sides. I went with pulled pork, brisket, and cheddar jalapeño sausage. For the sides, I went with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and coleslaw. Of course, all the meats were incredibly tender and full of flavor. Try their BBQ sauces, they're all tasty in their own way. As for the sides, all great, but it's the mashed potatoes for me; little chunks of potato and slightly tangy. - Banana Pudding | Soft wafers and creamy banana pudding... get it. The perfect dessert. THE DRINK. - Sweet Tea | Sweetness without the iced tea bitterness. Love it. THE PARKING. Surface lot, free parking. No problems finding a place to park. THE RETURN? It's been years since my first visit, and this second visit was just as great as the first. Just like my first visit, I ended up buying their BBQ sauces to travel back with. It can be a little tricky trying to pack these up into a suitcase because they're not in sealed jars, but they do cover the squeeze bottle opening with saran wrap and twist the spout on top of the saran wrap, if that makes sense.

    After looking up some reviews brought to this gem - They did a great job - the ultimate platter is good for options - it had everything we wanted today - thanks again

    Pulled Pork Sandwich w/ Side Mac & Cheese, Side Baked Beans, and mild BBQ sauce
    Courtney E.

    Just ok. The macaroni and cheese was creamy, but also reminded me of boxed mac and cheese. The baked beans were really good, though the flavors were subtle at first. The pulled pork sandwich was good. Other than the baked beans, the food was average. It doesn't help that I've been traveling through southern and central US and have had a lot of BBQ recently. For a small town, I do think the food was good compared to some of the other food I had in Little Rock.

    Southwestern Chicken Salad
    Geri F.

    This place is known for its Hog BBQ. So many awards and honors. Unfortunately, we are not pork eaters so we did not try the award winning pork. However, we did order beef brisket meal and pulled chicken salad. Our meal was good. Enjoyed the salad and finished every bite! Hubby a brisket was okay. Lean which he likes but he did taste the smoke in the meat. Beans were great, he said the potato salad was too creamy, meaning too much cream sauce. I thought it was fantastic. Service was quick and friendly. The place is huge, with 3 big rooms to feed the crew! I'm sure the pork is amazing but even if you don't get that you will not be disappointed with there other options.

    We stopped going there because the food just got bland. Prices went sky high. The sides were tiny portions.

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.

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!

The manager was present as I was voicing this issue, she looked said nothing and then continued to nonverbally dismiss my complaint. The only thing that kept this experience from being worse is the EMPLOYEE that took our order was apologizing to me. I give the manager on duty two thumbs down, because she said nothing and then turned her back on me as if my complaint was nothing. The other employees there apologized for the negative experience. I would expect the manager to have handled this better. I would strongly advise Whole Hog to train this manger in how to handle customers better. I know we all have bad days but, that does not make it ok to just dismiss my complaint. I even said as the employees were apologizing to me, "I mostly just wanted the manager to be aware." And even then the manager said nothing except nod at me. Whole hog can contact me directly to correct this, because this is a concern to me as a consumer.
