Super yummy. Everything we had was delicious, including the sides, and they had tons of different sauces. Be prepared for a wait. read more

The brisket was awesome but the ribs, beans and slaw was not that good and they didn't serve bread with the meal

After seeing the Top 100 list I wanted to try Wright's. The only bbq meat I eat is turkey and I bought a couple of pounds. It was outstanding! It was smoked to perfection and I will definitely be back!! read more

Wow!! Great loaded Mac n Cheese (with Brisket)! The sweet BBQ sauce was great. Super friendly staff! I mentioned the collard greens looked good and viola a small portion was included in my tray. I kept eating until my LARGE portion was all gone. My husband loved his BBQ Nachos. He brought some of his home as it was a very large portion. The jazz sounded great and it was an overall great dining experience. We will be back and we will bring friends! read more

Hands down the best bbq in the area by far. Worth the price. A great staff. A simple location. Really great food. All you need to know.

Driving to Bentonville from Devil's Den State Park, we found this quaint BBQ joint. We got the Woo Pig and Brisket sandwich both with macaroni and cheese and beans. The buns are amazing- super soft and holds the sandwich well. Meats had a great smoky flavor and rub. Only complaints are that the ends of the sausage skin were hard/not edible and the macaroni and cheese had a slight tang to it, but still super good! Would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Best BBQ ever. All the meats all the sides are best ever. Service is awesome, great employees. Cannot eat BBQ anywhere else since going to Wright's. read more

oh my goodness. Great BBQ and we seriously will not buy another brand of sauce! we have had this delivered many times but have yet to go, it's on the list! read more

Food was good and easy to share. Great place for kids. The way you order and pay seems like it could be smoother but we got there at just the right time so we didn't have to wait too long read more

The line was a little long, but worth the wait. Brisket and sausage plate was excellent. Friendly staff.

Balls yeah! Look I know BBQ, I eat it all the time all over the country... and this place rivals the best of them. Better than Kansas City BBQ, better than the best places in the Carolina's and Memphis. Only have had better in Texas, and it's a really close "better." Ribs are bomb. Brisket is smooth. Collard greens like your grandma use to make (unless she sucked). All around the best. Think of the best version of everything on their menu... and it's going to be better. I say all this and should tell you, I'm not from here. I don't know these guys. I'm just a dude that eats a lot of BBQ... and if I had more money... I would dine here EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. So freaking good. read more

I ordered takeout 40 minutes before they closed. I saw such good reviews and I was looking forward to getting a brisket plate with a side of mac and cheese and potato salad. When I called, they said they were out of brisket. No big deal, I'll sub with pulled pork. I stopped by about 15 minutes later and the food was ready. As soon as I got back to my hotel, I opened the container and they subbed the potato salad with a cookie! And they didn't even put the cookie in the empty section of the container- they put it in with the pork. So I got a pork-flavored cookie. Tastewise the pork and mac and cheese were amazing. Very flavorful and perfectly cooked. I'm just disappointed I didn't get to try the brisket and potato salad, and I didn't get any communication or discount with the whole cookie situation. Minus two stars for that since I had expectations. If I lived in the area, I would come back but only if I ate in or double checked my food before I left. Edit in response to the owner's response: don't you think it's concerning that I was not told before I paid for my order that you were out of potato salad so I could have a choice to either sub it with another side or just not pay for two sides? I'd understand if you were out of potato salad, but I don't understand a lack of communication. It is not worth my time to call and get back a dollar or two. I guess we need to agree to disagree on the purpose of Yelp, as I see it for overall restaurant service and food whether that be takeout or dine in. I'm not sure why anyone would be anymore lenient on a takeout order.. if anything, it's easier to get a takeout order correct in my opinion as there's only so much people ask for. No need to get butthurt on a non 4 or 5 star review. I just wanted others reading my review to learn from my mistakes. read more

What a BBQ joint is suppose to be. Beautifully cook/smoked meats, delicious side dishes, reasonable priced and friendly helpful staff. Brisket your choice fat or lean, tender juicy and just the right amount of smoke kiss to it. Delouses side dishes the greens with just the right amount of spice kick to them. Burt ends bacon a little bit fatty as expected, wish they had a little bit more of a chew to them but still worth trying. Diffidently would recommend and will be back hopefully soon. read more

10/10 food every single time. I have tried many different bbq places and nothing ever compares to Wright's. The burnt ends are top notch and the green beans are amazing. I recommend Wright's to everyone. The employees are always so kind. read more

I'm from Texas where we have fantastic BBQ and I have to tell you...this was some of the best that I've ever had! I had the burnt ends and ribs, mac and cheese, and the best collards that I have ever eaten. You don't need pepper sauce because evidently, it's cooked with the greens. The mac and cheese wasn't dry like you get in some places and the meats were perfect. We ate on the deck outside in the shade...it was the first of July and not bad at all. read more

Truly the GOAT of bbq in our region, perhaps the entire state. I dream of their brisket and am often caught daydreaming about the unreal collard greens. For those that know, always get the mashed peezys too. Always. They have 3 locations in NWA with one coming to Little Rock soon. If you're in Arkansas, you don't have an excuse not to have the best bbq between Texas, KC, and Memphis. This spot has put Arkansas on the bbq map. read more

A nice BBQ joint off the beaten path servicing some pretty memorable food. I was in town for work with an epic hungering for some good BBQ and found Wright's on Yelp. It was a short 15 minute drive from my hotel and there in what seems like the middle of no where was Wright's. When you first arrive, it looks like someone's house with a whole bunch of cars parked outside and a line out the door. Waited on outside line for 10 minutes and then after finally getting inside, it was a bout another 5 minutes. I was going to eat there but the place was packed and I didn't see that they had a tent with seating outside but the place had a really nice home like feel to it. Very much like neighbors coming together for a cook out or a community event. The girl who took my order was very friendly and helped me with my choosing of sides and meat selection. I tried to order the smoked brisket, ribs and cheddar sausage with coleslaw and baked beans for sides they were out of ribs so I got the pulled pork instead. The highlight was that I got a free cookie! I took my food to go and headed back to my hotel room to eat! The drive and the wait were both worth it! It was some stupendous BBQ! I enjoyed every single thing in my box! The brisket and pulled pork were tender and juicy and the cheddar sausage was so tasty. Can't forget the slaw and the beans either...mad good! Definitely glad I decided to go! read more

This is barbecue made with the soul! Delicious and the portions are perfect! Best in town!Beef Brisket

Best food in NWA and well worth the price. I've eaten here several times as I live in NWA and it is consistently great. This place is gas. They never miss! Not to mention Jordan (the owner) is always so kind to all his customers waiting in line. The staff makes sure you are satisfied. Everyone needs to eat here at least once read more

Went to a couple other places previously because we couldn't get here before they closed. I won't name them because this review won't get posted but both were very disappointing. You can look at my other reviews after this to see of whom I write. This place is Fall off the bone ribs. Greens with the right amount of tang. Cheesy mac & cheese. Baked beans that would make you wanna slap your mama. Nice little kick to them. Tasty sauce. Get there early or you won't score any burnt ends! read more

We ate at the location in Bentonville. What a treat and we loved the bbq. We are always looking for great bbq. The burnt ends were good, the sauce was delicious and the brisket had a good crust.

My wife and I enjoy eating at Wright's barbecue we have been going there for years starting with making the trip from Bella Vista to Fayetteville, then they made it up here to Bentonville/Rogers always great food and great service, but in this day and age of social media you have people that you can't and never will please, but the power of the finger to send out bad reviews, some to help out competitors or just to be mean, but if you send off a mean and disrespectful review it's on you, I think once we had a bad dish but you know what they made it right right then and there and they received another great review, so to my wife and I Wright's is the best read more

Some of the best brisket, rivals any place in Texas.All All our four sides were delicious. read more

Wow! Fantastic brisket, ribs and burnt ends! Collards are awesome too! Great place!

I made my second visit to Wright's this week with a few work colleagues. I was so anxious on my first visit I failed to take pics! First, carpool to this place as parking could be an issue - plan on waiting in line if you show up between 11:30 and 12:30. But it is well worth it! They slice each meat to order, which is absolutely key to keep cuts such as brisket from oxidizing and drying out. They are doing it right folks! They have plenty of selections to satisfy all the varying meat lovers. Their sides are terrific and stand up to the main show - the meats. I ordered a 2-meat combo of moist brisket and jalapeño and cheddar sausage. My sides were mac and cheese and smoked "baked" beans. Our group also ordered a Rocket Man which is mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, brisket, sausage, and their bacon candy -- not sure, but you may be able to choose your meats for this "bowl." Other sides were green beans and mashed potatoes. We also had the bacon candy, which is perfectly smoked pork belly cubes with a well balanced sweet and salty rub on it -- it's a must try! The brisket is phenomenal. I generally judge my bbq joints by their brisket, and it must be sliced. Bad brisket can be doctored up when chopped. Sliced brisket can't hide -- it's either right or not. Wright's gets it RIGHT! Sliced to order and their turnover helps keep it all fresh and tenderly juicy. Try lean, try moist (fattier), whatever your taste. Sausages are homemade and are delightful. Sauces are spot on and sides complement the rich meats just fine. My only suggestion would be to add some homemade spicy pickles and onions on the side. The staff is friendly and helpful. Sam the GM even gave us a tour of the pits and shared his passion and what really amounts to a definite culture that makes Wright's a quick success. I've had bbq from Texas to KC and in between - this is the real dea read more

Wright's never fails to deliver. Best bbq, hands down and consistently so. Friendly service, great food.

Absolutely the best BBQ and deserves the #1 rating here. We use to live in Springdale and would eat their food a couple times a week! Can't wait to get us some in July when we're back there!! read more

By far some of the best barbecue I have had in a while. Service has always been great and employees very nice

The food is phenomenal! Service is always streamlined and efficient. You can't go wrong. Eat in or take out.

So many terrific BBQ options in the area, but Wright's stands out right near the top of the mountain. Get the brisket - to die for - and the sausages. Get all of it, chow down, then sun yourself on the floor like a snake for the next 12 hours. read more

After recently moving to NWA, there are tons of great options for restaurants - but when I saw that this place was Yelp's #1 in the nation for barbecue, we had to come try them out. First off, there was plenty of parking - even with a mostly full parking lot, during early afternoon hours. There was a line to get in to order, but it moved quickly and before we knew it we were standing inside waiting to order. My husband got a brisket plate (the plate meals come with two sides) and his brisket, smoked baked beans, and chips were delicious. They had a great craft beer selection with draft and bottled options. I got the bacon burnt ends plate with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. Everything was soooo yummy. Burnt ends are my favorite and they were so smoky, almost caramelized on the outside with such a good crunch and melt in your mouth juicy flavor. My sides were so savory, flavorful, and just perfect. Both of us had full bellies by the end of it - made you wish you could take a nap right there lol. I got a large fountain drink and was excited they gave me a wide mouth, logo plastic cup - I love to collect these from restaurants. The ambiance outside was so relaxed - modern, outlaw country played off speakers and there was plenty of nice outdoor seating which we took advantage of since the weather was so nice. I can imagine at night time, the hanging lights would make it especially dreamy. This place is not pretentious at all - it's perfectly charming and the food is to die for. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Easily the best BBQ I've ever had. The baked beans and collard greens were decent, but nothing to write home about. However, I got the Texas Trinity and the brisket and ribs were the softest, juiciest and most tender I've ever had. A+ on the meats! Sausage was also the bomb. read more
