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.

As you walk in you meet the meat cutter and he takes your order. I had the 2 meat plate with turkey and sausage. My sides were chips and a sweet potato. I also had a sweet tea. We decided to enjoy a comfy booth in the AC!!! The portions were fair and the food looked amazing on my tray. We sat down and boom! Delicious turkey and sausage. I made couple half sandwiches with some white bread. The smoked sweet potato was the best part of my meal. It was so sweet and delicious. Overall great place for a lunch stop after biking 10-12 miles!!! We will be back. My best friend had the Woopig sandwich with pulled pork, sausage and cole slaw on he side. He enjoyed it immensely! They also have some shaded outdoor seating.

It said open and it was a weird time (10:45 am lol) so we decided to give it a go. From the moment we stepped in, l knew I loved the whole vibe and aesthetic. The man working at the counter was cheerful and helpful and kind! Loved the many samples he let us try, it was such a nice welcome for the first time here. Food is toppppp notch. Absolute quality. I panic ordered and shoulda got what I sampled (pork belly... unREAL!) and even so, it was still amazing. Prices are a bit more expensive than what you're used to paying for lunch, but honestly-- being able to refill my drink whenever I want, helping myself to the sauce bar, and relaxing in the well decorated and nicely lit dining area-- worth it. I feel a new hyperfixation coming on! Loved it so much and will continue to spread the word about it. Thanks so much!

It took something like 30 minutes to get our food and even then some of the orders weren't right. We got there around 11:30 am and there weren't more than two other tables of people there for lunch.

Again, the food was FANTASTIC, but the amount of time it took to get it was more than we could handle.

We ordered a three meat plate w/two sides. We were correct- it's enough for two ppl. They were out of ribs. Ordered pulled pork, sausage, brisket, potato salad & coleslaw. The pulled pork may actually have been chopped. It had a good flavor as well as the brisket. I like both just a little more tender. The potato salad tasted like the kind you buy at the grocery store...yellowish with bits of pimento. Slaw was good & the sausage...wow! Hot! I love spice but if you don't, be careful! Nice staff! We ate here on a Thursday evening to hear some live music. Like most of the food trucks at 8th St., sit back & wait for your buzzer to go off, then enjoy!

Favorite place In Bentonville for a good burger and fries every time! It never missesread more

Heard about the burgers here and had to give it a try…read more I biked over and found the trailer with a little lunch rush line, but it moved quickly. I ordered the burger and fries with a drink. I eat mine plain but they have quite the selection of burgers and fries/ring options. The drinks are in a fridge with normal selection of sodas and teas along with bottled water. The price seemed fair and I was able to use Apple Pay off my phone. I was given a beeper and found a table behind the trailer. I wish there was a little shade over the tables but nonetheless it was a pleasant day so no worries. My pager went off and I got my food freshly made and hot. The fries were good. They had a little batter to them and they were good portion size. The burger, however was a little disappointing. It seemed to be a patty premade almost frozen style. I wish they would make 1/2 pound burgers with fresh meat and hand make the patties but that's not the case. After eating lunch I decided I would not go back until they improve burger quality.

Just the yummiest bbq anywhere. I promise! The pulled pork on the potato is 100% the way to go imo!…read moreMy husband though is still talking about how perfect the ribs were almost 24 hours later! We got the banana pudding to go and it also is great in that, "did my grandma make this ?" sort of way! In a different note, the owner(s) of this business must be great bc all of the employees here always seem genuinely happy, from the first guy at the line all the way through the guy wiping down the tables after guests leave! The restaurant also looks like everything a great bbq spot should, clean and bright with huge smokers outside with lots of picnic tables in front of maybe the biggest screen I've ever seen! Game Day heaven!

The baked beans-delicious and even better the next day, but everyone other side was a no go. The mashed potatoes while seasoned perfectly are a bit on the pasty consistency even with the skins being included. The coleslaw and deviled egg potato salad were HEAVY on the mustard, overwhelming so. The deviled egg potato salad was also over seasoned with dill and honestly tasted nothing like a deviled egg and watery. The Mac and cheese was thin/watery and lacking flavor-lacking that thick cheesiness a good bbq Mac side should have. Servers/staff all in hustle mode! Clean restaurant indoor and outdoor seating
