Pulled pork plate
Larry L.

The BBQ and baked potato were very good. Counter service was ok. I did notice that customers were having to clean off the table before they sat. The men's rest room needs to have a light in there. Hard to be private with the door open to see where you are aiming.

Outside front-it's a must for representation:)

Don't sleep on Little Rock when it comes to Q! This place was slammin! The only reason they're getting 4stars instead of 5 is because they were out of mac n cheese when we ordered. My wife is a mac n cheese fanatic, so this was naturally what she was looking forward to. Despite that, their Q was delicious, so don't let that detract you from giving this spot a whirl. Also, pro tip-it is extremely loud inside, so if you're looking to eat in a calmer environment, I suggest going right outside to their park benches. Delicious food and very courteous staff. Great job Whole Hog Cafe!

This is a nice Little Rock restaurant. They have some very good "Q". All the awards they received are well deserved. Parking here is very easy. They have a huge parking lot that they share with the other businesses in the strip mall it is located. The restaurant has a huge 2 section dining area. I had a group of 8 and we did not have an issue finding a table. I found a lot of items that caught my eye on the menu. I narrowed it down to the burnt ends and jalapeno sausage. They were able to put those two together in a meal for me with a side of baked beans and potato salad, which I greatly appreciated. It took about 8 minutes for me to get my food and it was fresh and hot. The sausage and burnt ends lived up to my expectations and did not disappoint. I highly recommend them. The potato salad and baked beans were pretty good too. The baked beans had a bunch of meat in it that just enhanced the flavor. The staff there was very nice and friendly. I must admit, they were awesome. The restaurant was very clean, especially for a barbecue joint. I was glad that my friends recommended this joint to me. My experience was awesome I highly recommend checking out this place.

4 rib and that roll I didn't care for lol

Before dropping my son off at UCA a coworker looked up places I should try on my way back home to Dallas. We saw Whole Hog had great reviews and claimed award winning ribs. Let's just say, I was not disappointed!!!!! The ribs were AWESOME! My son tried the #3 BBQ at the table ('spicy') and said mom you gotta try it and he was right! The baked beans were great. Loved the red potato salad! The ONLY thing I that was missing was cornbread instead of that dry roll. Even good ol plain bread would have been better. I saved my last 2 ribs to eat at home the next day with cornbread.

Terrible Pulled Pork Plate

The meat isn't worth a flip. Only thing good at Whole Hog is the potato Salad. Will absolutely not go back.

Chicken Wings.

Pretty damn good. Got 10 BBQ Wings. Loved this place when they were in Hot Springs, Aransas.

A great place to eat. Not a fancy place by any means, but definitely a place to go when you're hungry for bbq. My wife and I both very much enjoyed our meals. We really liked the variety of bbq sauces on the table. My wife and I have much different tastes when it comes to the bbq sauce. My burnt ends were fork tender and very flavorful. My wife said her sandwich was very good as well. Neither one of us left hungry! We'll be back.

I asked the woman behind the counter what the best thing on the menu was, and she recommended the…read morePulled Pork plate, which was delicious! Whole Hog Cafe is a great spot for southern barbecue with many sauce options and delicious sides! There is plenty of seating to enjoy a great meal. The baked beans are delicious, the potato salad creamy, and the pulled pork was tender. All of the staff were friendly, the food came out quickly, and the atmosphere was rustic with pig statues everywhere.

All their awards displayed is your first indication something special's a-brewing. The second…read moreindication 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.

Guys on the line were engaging and hospitable. They even threw in a free (and delicious) Oreo Chocolate pudding when I casually mentioned it was my birthday. I'm from Texas, so I'm a BBQ snob. Their brisket was just as good, if not better than the best in Texas. No knife required. And the leftovers (we bought too much) were excellent the next day reheated in the oven. Wright's is without a doubt the best BBQ I've ever had in LR, and top 5 all-time for me, which is saying a lot. Can't wait for the West Little Rock location. Great job! Keep on smokin'! - TFG

They did me right with Wrights! I was getting my food to go but the atmosphere was chill a big screen with sports on, a bunch of picnic tables for seating would've been cool to sit down. They have various options on the menu, you can get a two or three plate, sandwiches, special options, or meats by the pound! I went with the brisket, ribs, chicken, an original link, sides of deviled egg potato salad, coleslaw, and collards. I wanted some turkey but it sold out right as I approached to order. Here are my review: Brisket: tender, well seasoned Ribs: really good, tender but not fall off the bone. Just how I like it. Chicken was moist and good. Link: they forgot it. But shout out to Bo he offered to take care of me! Coleslaw: it was good Green: made with vinegar how I like them. Potato salad was good as well I would definitely come back to this place.
