    Brisket and ribs
    David G.

    I came for the bacon burnt bacon ends but they were out. Turkey was gone too. I chose a two meat plate with two sides. Brisket and pork ribs. They were tasty, but not extraordinary. The sweet/classic bbq sauce was added zest and sweetness to the meats. The spicy sauce had a kick for those that crave a nice burn. The sides outshined the meats which was a surprise because usually sides are an afterthought at bbq spots. But here, I went with the recommended options by one of the team members; ranch potato salad and honey butter green beans. Oh boy were they delicious. Highly recommend! I'd come back for those and to try the bacon burnt ends.

    Exquisite. The food and service is unmatched!! I was gifted a plate by Johnathan while volunteering on the trails and it was so thoughtful!! Im pretty sure I can taste the love in every bite! I highly recommend this business. 11/10. Must try!!!

    2 Meat Plate
    Kenna G.

    Wow. Wow. Wow. Incredible first time trying Wright's. I got the 2 meat plate that includes two sides and my whole plate was amazing. Brisket: 4.5/5 Pulled pork: 4.6/5 Green beans: 5/5 Mac & cheese: 3/5 I was shocked, but the mac and cheese was probably my least favorite thing I got, I would probably try a different side next time I visit. But, it was SO much better as a loaded bite with their buttermilk ranch and pulled pork all together. Service was great. Everyone was so kind and two people checked on me asking how everything was. Nice outdoor patio as well as an enclosed patio area.

    I stopped into Wright's BBQ and went with the Brisket and Burnt Ends for my 2 Meat Plate. The Brisket had a good flavor but wasn't as moist as I would have liked, which was a little disappointing given how well-known they are for it. On the other hand, the Burnt Ends were absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and service was quick and friendly, which added to the overall experience. While not perfect, the food was solid, and I'd definitely come back--especially for those Burnt Ends.

    One of the best bbq I've had. The brisket was really good, the smoked chicken was ok, a bit dry but good flavor. I'm not a big meat person so I ate a lot more of the sides- which were SO GOOD. I got the mashed potatoes and baked beans. The beans were hands down the best I've ever had. There are chunks of brisket (I think) in the beans, not too salty, just perfect and slightly sweet. I paired the mashed potatoes with the beans ... yum. We got their banana pudding too, would recommend. Besides the food... all the staff were extremely nice and friendly. Great service.

    Brisket Plate with ribs, Mac & Cheese, and Collard Greens. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!
    Chef Omar R.

    Fantastic Food, Excellent and Friendly Service, in a down home vibe and ambiance is how I would describe Wright's Barbecue in Bentonville. Let me start by saying this is the BEST BBQ I've ever had in my life. Wright's is doing everything RIGHT!! I ordered Ribs, Brisket, Bacon Burnt Ends, Sausage, Mac n Cheese, Greens, and Smoked Baked Beans. The brisket is seasoned perfectly, super tender, and melts in your mouth! The ribs and burnt ends are equally flavorful with a sweet and smoky balance. Every bite is heavenly! The sausage was smoked to perfection and also delicious. All of the sides compliments the meat, and it's what I call a "party in your mouth"!! I spoke to the guys who also gave me a sample of their pastrami (I wish my stomach had more room) which was also amazing in flavor and also melts in your mouth. I'm giving Wright's 20 STARS!! Can't wait for them to open their next location by Walmarts Home Office!!

    Wright's Barbecue lives up to its reputation. The burnt ends on the Rocket Man were perfection and go head to head with the best bbq I have ever had. The nachos could have had a bit more topping to have a better chip to topping ratio, but it was so good I wasn't too focused on that. Our server was helpful and you could tell he enjoyed where he worked. There wasn't a ton of seating inside, but enough for us and quite a bit more outside. We will definitely be back for more!

    Oh man, after hours of riding a mountain bike around this may have been the best meal I've ever had. Just had the chicken plate with two sides, simple enough, it was mind blowing good. Chicken great, bbq sauces awesome, Mac n Cheese wow, and the collard greens were out of this world. Nice job Wright's, nice job. Nice people working there too!

    Beef rib with deviled egg potato salad and collard greens
    Natalie Z.

    I had Wright's twice in a week when hosting family visiting from California. I'm the type of person who is really scared of having a disappointing second meal after an incredible first, and I am pleased to report that both meals were 100%. I came in with my partner on a Saturday, and we managed to snag the last beef rib, which was the special of the day. We got that with deviled egg potato salad and collards on the side. I have never had a rib so giant, so it was truly an experience cutting into the meat and seeing it fall off the bone. I enjoyed how peppered the meat was, and that we had the choice to add how ever much BBQ sauce as we wanted. I think this is a standard thing in the south, but where I grew up, the meat was always swimming in sauce, which is why I thought I didn't like barbecue. The sides were great complements to the barbecue, especially the collards, which seemed to have been cooked with smoked turkey. The second time around, we ordered a three-meat combo with brisket, sausage, pork ribs with collards and macaroni and cheese. We ended up adding a pulled pork and sausage sandwich, as well as an order of their brisket chili (it was cold and we were hungry). Though the beef rib is a standout for me, all of the other meats were tender and well-seasoned. I especially liked their sausages and pork ribs, and the macaroni was a winner--cheesy, and not too gluey/soupy and not too brick-y, either. Service is always fast, friendly, and there's a decent amount of seating, though most of it is outside. I would recommend getting takeout in the colder months, though there are a few seats inside and a heated tent next door.

    2 meat meal - pulled pork & lean brisket with beans & collard greens
    H G.

    Had the 2 meat meal Pulled pork Lean brisket Smoked beans Collard greens Flavor was good on the meat - pork was moist & brisket was tender Beans - sweet & Smokey Collard greens - tasty Came about 2pm on a Saturday & it was busy - few tables inside, more out front & even more around building out back Pulled pork was good, not a ton of smoke flavor but super moist & flavorful The brisket crust was so yummy, meat was tender & moist Beans were really good - soft & sweet Collard greens were tasty, we don't get these at home so wanted some - glad I tried them So many sides & meats to choose from, will go back if we come out this way again Customer service was good, ordering was fast & tables were clean

    2 Meat Plate
    Briana L.

    THE best BBQ in Northwest Arkansas!!! 2 meat plate is the best deal. Pro tip - get brisket 1/2 lean 1/2 fatty, pulled pork, Mac & cheese, & collard greens. It can be enough for 2 people or 1 person who wants to be in the best food coma afterwards. Despite a long line even before 11:30 AM, the service moves quickly. One of the managers even stops by all the tables to check how your experience was! Comfortable seating in the booths & plenty of space for everyone's trays of food.

When I asked a simple question about what made the fries accompanying the ribeye "spicy," our server responded with a series of questions rather than a straightforward answer, including asking if I had issues with nightshades and what level of heat I tolerate on the Scoville scale. The interaction felt unnecessarily complicated and somewhat condescending. After checking with the kitchen, she said the fries could be made without the spice, so I ordered the dish. However, she then informed me that the ribeye itself had a chili rub, requiring another trip to the kitchen. While they ultimately said it could be prepared without the rub, I was told it would significantly delay the order. When the steak finally arrived, I was disappointed with the amount of fat on it, much more than the typical marbled ribeye. Overall, while the ambiance was enjoyable, the service created friction in what should have been a simple ordering process. A more direct and customer-friendly approach would have made a big difference. The F&B manager reached out to me through my Open Table information which I respected however, we don't plan on returning.

They said they've been partnering with a local supplier for years. And it really shows in the quality. It's in a museum. So finding it was a little difficult at first, not knowing what to look for.

I loved the interior and how it was decorated. The grilled cheese was the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Definitely wouldn't be enough if there were more than 2 people at the table though. The pork porterhouse was good, the butter on top really gave the meat its flavor. The pasta was amazing. Great portion sizes for both. Overall: amazing classy dinner spot in NWA, would definitely come back!

Surprised to find a restaurant this caliber without a tasting menu however, the choices were interesting enough that we tried out these strawberry appetizer which combines in season strawberries with a tart cream sauce, and a balsamic vinaigrette, making for a sweet and sour combination The bread, butter combo was very good with the butter being infused with some heat. We went for a pretty standard selection of steak for two which was well prepared and came with a side of mushrooms and potato cakes. Honestly, the winner of the night was the wine. A nice wine list selection that included choices from California, Spain, France. We went with a rioja reserve which was a great pairing. There is no Sommelier or suggested wine pairings on the menu. The service was solid however, once the restaurant filled up, we found ourselves somewhat on our own. The dessert menu had a nice selection, but nothing that jumped out at us. Overall, a really interesting space, pleasant service, good food, great wine, and a nice evening.

To start the server was smoking and came in and started serving without washing their hands. Then on a friends plate they refused to do substitutions for allergies and instead said the best they could do is not put it on their plate. They still charged for the item that they removed. None of what was previously stated even led to this review. The worst part is that there was MOLD ON THE FOOD!!! Once this was brought up the only thing they said was "we can bring you another piece". They would not consider comping even a portion of that plate. Mind you no one asked for a refund or comp at this point other than for the single item that was moldy. Overall this ended with an employee asking why my friend ate the food if it was moldy. We explained that it wasn't found until after they had ate that portion of the plate and they didn't eat any after seeing it. They proceeded to mock us after. Overall just hope that this place gets things together and a safety inspection asap. I could never imagine going back to a place that cares so little about the customers experience and quality of food.
