Skip the famous place. This is better. I came down from Maine with barbecue on my mind and a reservation mentality pointed at Bentonville's most well-known spot. Showed up Memorial Day. Dark. Best thing that could have happened to me. Brothers Meathouse was the pivot, and Jesse -- the general manager -- made sure we never looked back. He took care of us from the moment we walked in. 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. read more

The service was really generous and welcoming while giving helpful suggestions. The portions were actually decent for being a bbq restaurant. The flavors were good as well on most of the foods they offered. read more

Standard BBQ spot. Meat is kind of dry so can be a hit or miss. Not super tender. Not the driest I've had either. Mac and cheese bites 10/10!! TRY IT. If anything, THIS is what to try. Service was quick. At quickly. Amazing vibes outside. With bull riding, cornhole, lawn chairs and terf. read more

Very good brisket sandwiches. BBQ sauce is a bit sweet and paired with the wetness of the bun, it was almost too sweet. . Could use a bit more vinegar in the bbq sauce recipe, but that's just my opinion. One of the best, if not THE best coleslaw I've ever had. Fries were crispy and stayed crispy throughout our real. Very delicious. I didn't really like the Mac n cheese as it was pretty dry. Good potato salad. Love that they had live music playing. Staff is friendly. My wife loved the food (except for the Mac) so it gets an extra star. read more

I can't say enough about the deliciousness of this Bbq. It is the kinda place that you wish you could eat more and more Bbq. A super fun thing was that we were there on bingo night! And I won! I chose the $20 off my meal instead of the scratcher, turns out it was a good choice. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious, and all the sides so good. read more

While traveling to Bentonville, AR we came across the best southern BBQ restaurant. Absolutely Amazing BBQ Experience - A Must-Visit in the South! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was absolutely amazing. The noise level was moderate, making it easy to hold conversations--even for larger groups. It's the perfect spot for family gatherings or celebrations with friends. We ordered the Pork Belly Bites, a 2-Meat Platter with sides of broccoli slaw and spicy sausage sampler, and the sliders. Every single dish was tender, juicy, and packed with that unmistakable slow-roasted BBQ flavor. Kudos to the chef for patiently cooking each meat to perfection--everything tasted phenomenal! The service was by far the best we've ever encountered. Our server was attentive, consistently offering drink refills without delay. She was also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent recommendations. Bonus points for the aluminum cups that kept our drinks icy cold throughout the meal! One unique and fun touch was the mechanical pig named Pork Chop--such a playful detail that adds to the overall charm of the place. The restaurant maintained a steady flow of happy customers during our visit, without ever feeling overcrowded. It's moderately priced, especially considering the generous portions and variety of options available. This is hands down the best BBQ restaurant in the South. Highly recommended for families, large groups, or anyone looking to enjoy great food, exceptional service, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. read more

Came back here with some friends and the food did not disappoint! Got the same thing as last time and it was still very delicious and portion sizes were great. Service was also great, very quick and friendly with a good ambiance and good music. However, I was really disappointed they took my favorite drink (The Hunting Season) off the menu. My friend and I ended up ordering a Moscow mule and The Burnt Orchard. They were very good, but almost HALF the size they were a couple of months ago. The little mason jar was a very cute glass but $12.00 for that size was disappointing to say the least. Still worth the visit! read more

Got a 2-meat plate with brisket and chicken thighs. Brisket was extremely tender and pulled apart really easily. Thigh was moist. I do wish they'd given more pickled veggies though. It was just 3 thin pickles, and a small pile of pickled onions. High south sauce was good. I thought it'd be a variation of bbq sauce, but I guess it's just bbq sauce with the name "high south". Mac was amazing, and had a good bake on it. Definitely recommend that side. Collards were also good and saucy, but I'd be interested in the other options. Banana pudding was creamy and awesome. Sunset drink had nice berry taste, but prob isn't worth 7 bucks. Food came out quickly; less than 10 mins. But I was also one guy. Meal altogether was $40, so definitely a once-in-a-while typa place. read more

Over priced and the turkey was dry Happy Hour prices on wine were not honored. The 2 & 2 for meats and side dishes are all à la carte read more

It was better before they switched the sauce. The service was decent. Just not digging the sauce, coleslaw, potato salad or the bones in my sandwich. read more

We visited on a Monday night when they have free Bingo games. The caller was great and everyone seemed to have a good time. After Bingo, there were pool tables available and they had Monday Night Football on TV. We very mucl liked the food - I had the pulled pork while my companions had the trio of sliders and the BBQ sandwich. All were excellent and the desserts (especially the banana pudding) were excellent as well. Great beer selection (we really liked the Lost Forty Honey Bock, and they had ciders and other drinks for those whose aren't into beer. The service was friendly and efficient. There really isn't anything else one could ask for. Highly recommended!! read more

Meh Only came here coz the bbq place I LOVE is closed on Sundays. The smell outside was fabulous! I was excited to try it. What a let down! First - got 1 lb of brisket and 1/2 lb of turkey and 2 brisket sandwich plates to go and they gave me a total of almost 2 tablespoons of sauce. Seriously!?!? Usually get an over a 1/2 cup at my fave place for just that much meat and more for the sandwiches. Second - tell me you don't respect food without telling me you don't respect food.... Pickled beef! Yup! Add pickles and pickled onion to the beef container with lots of juice! And what do you get? Nasty _pickled_ beef brisket! Oh and it's even better coz you don't get enough sauce to cover the pickled taste. The juices really mess with the texture of the beef too! Only a couple of slices didn't get doused and soaked in pickle juices. Just as a reference note - my fave bbq place puts pickled items in a separate container! Third - The bbq itself was ok. But not fabulous. There is certainly better BBQ in NW Arkansas! It had a kind of funky taste to it - like the starter fluid had not burned off before they put the meat on. Service - it was to go so I can't comment but ... asked for silverware and oops - got none! Would probably not go back even if my fave bbplace is closed! Better to eat something different than not so good BBQ! read more

Pulled pork sandwich and real cool cups that you get to take home! We had a room for a birthday party with pool tables, bar & booth seating. We had great service and lots of fun! read more

It's a newer BBQ option in dowtown BV with solid meats - tastewise, it is between Wright's and Beach. The brisket is pretty tender and flavorful although it doesn't have the smokiness of Beach and moist cut is definitely leaner than Wright's. However, the creamy sauce takes it to a new level. Worth a stop! read more

Great menu and prices very fair. The quality was excellent and the staff was friendly. Definitely recommend to our friends! Also very clean and the ambiance was nice. Enjoyed the games on this gorgeous day. read more

I really wanted to like this place, came in for lunch, ordered the 2 meat platter with brisket and chicken thighs. It says on the menu +$2 for brisket.... I get my food and low and behold there is literally only 1 slice of brisket on the plate ... I asked a manager and they said the brisket is served by weight. U only get 4oz... WTF. That is just a slap in the face to someone coming in for some bbq and of course wants brisket. Rip off. Will not be back... read more

Brothers Meethouse - 2 meat platter, brisket 1 slice and it costs $2 more for brisket, chicken thighs with potatoe salad and baked mac and cheese. 26 bucks - Barbeque Near Me - Bentonville, Arkansas

We went midweek, very few customers at the restaurant. Unfortunately we weren't blown away by the food. Pulled pork was ok, but didn't hit the high mark. Brisket was about the same. Sides were typical bbq sides with nothing notable in flavors. read more

Ribs were fall of the bone! And all of their in house bbq sauces were delicious, waitress was extremely nice and informative. I definitely recommend giving them a try read more

It was excellent! We loved it! The burnt ends appetizer is the best we have ever eaten!

Poor service, poor quality of food, and price was over valued. If you are charging a premium price for meat, it better taste good. Brisket was just ok, nothing special. Chicken thighs had no flavor, as if they took it straight out of the package and just grilled it, zero seasoning. read more

The food was good I really liked the mermaid water. I would definitely recommend the mac & cheese bites. They were very good. The service was pretty good, but he kept forgetting to bring my barbecue sauce. It was live bingo when I went so that was fun would come back. read more

Service was good! On the other hand the food wasn't what we expected. The meat was very very salty and it was cold when they served it. The bbq sauce was sooo runny and the mac and cheese obviously reheated. The location is great and I hope they improve their food. read more

Great barbecue. Chicken thigh was really tasty. Brisket hit the spot and sides were wonderful. Service fixed a mis-order on the spot and was very attentive. read more

GREAT food and atmosphere. Best BBQ in town. The sides great and the drinks are awesome.

Best rib place ever Sides were awesome best bbq beans I have ever had. Service was great read more

The service and ambience were great. However, the price for 4 ounces of brisket or a chicken thigh was not a value. I thought it was overpriced. When you come for dinner, you come there for the meat. 4 ounces of meat is little more than an appetizer. read more

Best BBQ I've had in NWA - the appetizer "All the Pickins" was super yummy- the loaded fries are amazing. Turkey was so good, brisket, pulled pork- all delicious! Our server was also super friendly and had great manners. read more

Food - fantastic! We loved the all the pickins appetizer and the meat plate. The sides were tasty and the sauces were perfect - vinegar forward Service - 10/10 very attentive and friendly Ambiance - great environment, excited for patio season. We will be back - it's a close contender to wrights read more

The sides were really good. The ribs were amazing, but the brisket was not a very big portion compared to a well-known competitor's barbecue and I found out later when we ordered the three meats they did an add-on of two dollars for each of the 2 briskets I ordered without telling me until it was time to pay the bill if I've known that upfront, I would've not ordered double the brisket at all. Also, I had no leftovers to take home with me because the portions were not as big as other competitors I eat at read more

Food was very good! It's a new business so they are not too busy. Go get in while you still can! The service was great and the vibes are nice as well! read more

Great service and food!!! Good parking available and love decor and looking forward to taking out of town guests there! read more

I'm always looking for great bar-b-q. This was not the place. The pulled pork and ribs were super tender but had no flavor. There were 3 sauce's but they all missed the mark. The fries came covered in " spice" . Definitely not my thing so I ordered them plain. Really good, crunchy. No need to spice them up when they're good. Overall -- disappointing. If I ever were to go back, I'd get the ribs to go and use good old Sweet Baby Rays. read more

My husband is from Texas and knows BBQ. This by far is the absolute best BBQ in NWA. When you can use a fork for your brisket you know you are doing something right. The greens. OMG. Chefs kiss!. The staff is super sweet just like their tea. We will be back. read more

Service was good and fast, though the food was mediocre, at best. Not a ton of food for the price and the meats were dry, flat. 2 of us came home with a stomachache. Unlikely to go back, which is a bummer, because the location is great. read more

Ribs, brisket and pulled pork are very fatty and served at room temp. Rib rub is too salty. Bell peppers in the beans are overpowering. Service was poor. Waitstaff did not come around often. Had to request refills. They were out of metal forks and only provided 2 plastic utensil sets for three. We had to share forks. Never bothered to bring out metal forks. Do not intend to be back. read more

Food was very good - meat was very tender (ribs and brisket); good sides and great happy hour options!will definitely return! Friendly staff and fun place! read more
