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

It still tasted good, just a little unexpected.

Well that's not 100% true because about 10 mins in we saw our server and the counter lady get there own food and drink. They stood at the eat at the end of the bar. Mind you we ran out of drinks before even 1/2 our food was gone. Then we just ended up going and standing at the counter to pay. They never checked on us even once. I understood everyone had to eat but other than a lady waiting on a to go order the place was empty. How do you have the whole wait staff eat at 12 while customers are just sitting there waiting on drinks?! I eat out everyday for lunch and this was literally the worse service I have ever had.

So much food! Beer battered fries and onion rings are a must! BBQ Baked beans had a nice smokey flavor to them. Fried pickles were so good. The whole thing was just great. Our server was awesome and always made sure our drinks were topped off and even fave us to-go sodas. The place itself has an old country BBQ feel. Smell of slow cooked beef and ribs!

Long story short I was not able to find any joy in life and was super down until I tried Wright's brisket and I decided that if there's really nothing else to live for, at least there's wright's brisket. I think about it pretty much daily I've had some 1000/10 and just some 10/10 but either way, I'm happy. I'm also very picky about ingredients but idc what is in their brisket or Mac and Cheese. I'll eat it any day. I haven't had anything bad from here. (But I haven't tried the coleslaw because ew)

For sides I got the deviled egg potato salad and coleslaw. The place was large with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We were able to get seats inside no problem. The line got longer while we were eating. All the food was excellent, one of the best overall barbecue spots I've tried. Everything was flavorful, the meats were smokey, and didn't even need any sauce. I loved the deviled egg potato salad. I also got the frozen lemon drop, which was nice and refreshing. The three meat plate was a decent price ($28) for the amount of food you get.

We had their barbecue sampler, which is a great value, and was plenty for my wife and me to share. It came with some garlic toast, and a selection of sauces. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, was that their pickled onions weren't pickled enough; they were a bit dry, and still had a fairly strong onion flavor. (I took thrm home and used my own recipe to finish them up, and I'll be taking them back for them to try.) The atmosphere is casual, and the service was friendly and helpful both times. Give them a try.
