Great barbecue and good prices with big portions! I think this location is the largest and nicest. Big porch and covered area for outdoor seating and then 2 room indoor seating. They have a handwritten menu on the wall with sandwiches, platters, and sides. Brisket and ribs seem to be the most popular. I have had the loaded baked potato before and ribs and the Woo Pig sandwich with pork and sausage topped with slaw on my last visit. All were large and delicious. My husband has had the loaded mashed potato platter and Mac and cheese, which were good but heavy. I love that they have a big kid and little kid menu for a cheap price too. They have quite a few sauces avail including a mustard based and Alambama white! Lots of free toppings you can add but be sure to ask b/c they won't. My husband found this out when we were new to the restaurant and his potatoes arrived plain with just meat and cheese, so he had to go back in line. It's a little on the pricey side, but that's to be expected in this area. I would definitely go back and recommend! Good local favorite.

Best BBQ I have had since Austin, TX. Puts everyone else to shame, brisket you don't need the knife to cut and the ribs fall off the bone. My son had the shred pork which was outstanding. If you are looking for an upscale diner this is not your place, but that is not what I am looking for in the south, just great BBQ done right!

It was simple ordering, staff was welcoming and since it was my first time there very accommodating and had some great recommendations. Family style seating and I enjoyed meeting some people that sat with me while I ate. The brisket was freaking awesome and the ribs were meaty and slightly sweet and savory. Mac and cheese was great the baked were good just not my style.

This place is kick’n!! The food is tasty and filling. The employees are friendly. There may be a line out the door but they work extremely efficiently. You are in door and through the line in no time. Ashley S. is the best!!! If you see her tell her hi!

This was my second time visiting the place/location. It has yet to let me down. Actually, it might be one of my favorite barbecue joints. Whenever I'm in the area, I will definitely be stopping by. Everything is good here. The burnt ends are my favorite, though. Very nice restaurant, and very friendly staff. I will always come back to Wright's.

Phenomenal flavor the ribs were fall off the bone good and the sauce was a perfect pairing. The bacon burnt ends and brisket were similarly great. The sides were awesome.

This place was hyped up by many so I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately my brisket was very dry. I had to use a knife to cut it, there was basically no fat. The bark tasted good but really wish I would’ve had more fat on it. I was told you can request fatty slices, so I’ll definitely do that next time. Not impressed with the brisket. I did try some of jalapeño sausage, which had really good flavor.

Overall: 7/10 - the sides were really good but brisket definitely did not shine at all.

Brisket: 6/10 (would be lower but the flavor on the bark salvaged it a bit)
Collard greens: 8/10 - delicious
Bbq beans: 7/10 - pretty good
Sausage: 7.5/10

Some of the best barbecue I've ever had. It was so good I had to revisit again for lunch the following day. Each meat option on the menu was fantastic. I recommend the brisket, ribs and regular sausage. The mac and cheese was creamy and the green beans were to die for (tasted too good to be healthy). All 3 of the barbecue sauces were rich and full of flavor. The banana pudding was the cherry on top to balance out all the savory flavors with something sweet. My girlfriend doesn't even like banana pudding but admitted how good theirs was. As a native Texan, once I saw a framed picture of Aaron Franklin (Franklin BBQ, Austin TX) I knew this place wasn't messing around. This is a must-stop if you ever are in Arkansas.
