17 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Bentonville

“Great food had the chicken and pulled pork baked potato salad and street corn.. The customer service was excellent“

“THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! Everything on the menu is delicious. Can’t go wrong with any choice. I still love the pulled pork, daughter loves the ribs, husband loves the brisket….there is the wonderful sausage, bacon, and sides! I do want to correct one review that said the owner is from TX. Owner, Jordan Wright is NOT from TX. He was born and raised in Little Rock, AR, and we claim him!!!“

“While visiting Bentonville, my wife had read about Wright's and wanted to give it a try. I'll never turn down BBQ so off we went to eat before checking out the Walmart Museum and Sparks Cafe. It was busy but we got to the chopping block pretty quickly and ordered. My wife had a turkey sandwich with collard greens, and I had the two-meat plate with brisket and bacon burnt ends, collard greens and creamed corn with, I believe it was, poblanos in it. We got our food and the dining room (small) was full. It was miserably hot outside, but they had another attached building with a few tables, so we were able to eat in comfort. I prefer to eat my brisket without sauce but this brisket, while tender, didn't have a lot of flavor. They had three different sauces, and I tried them all and they were actually all pretty tasty. One was sweet, one had a little zing to it and the third was a little vinegary; but not too much. The corn was rich and tasty and I enjoyed the collards. My wife prefers turnip greens, so she really didn't appreciate the collards, but she thought her turkey sandwich was excellent. We both had a soda with our food and our total was $50. I thought that was a little steep for the serving sizes we got. But it was tasty and I'm glad we gave it a try. It's on the square so it was convenient to eat and then walk all around the area and see all the various businesses and attractions in that area. Definitely worth a try as long as the prices don't scare you off.“

“We love Brothers. I bring my work crew here to eat and we always leave full and happy. Definitely a great spot for good BBQ, and better service.“

“The food was good but extremely expensive. Portion sizes were huge. I'm not happy that they won't let seniors order smaller sizes. There wasn't any meat or sandwich options less than half a pound so I ended up just ordering a side dish instead of a meal. Disappointing that they offer nothing for the person with a smaller appetite.“

“If I could give Wright’s Barbecue 10 stars, I would! I’ve had a lot of BBQ all over, and this was hands down the best. Every meat I tried was spot on, and the sides were just as fantastic.

Usually, a BBQ place gets one or two meats right but falls short on the sides—or the sides are great and the meat isn’t. Wright’s nailed it all. Add in some great local beers, and you’ve got a place I can’t recommend enough. Well done! 👏🔥“

“BEST burger and Fries I’ve had in years! Can’t wait to try the BBQ next. 10/10 recommend! Service is excellent. Thanks Aaron for the great food“

“Best BBQ in area“

“Food was fantastic and our server was friendly. As it was our first time, we ordered more than we could eat to try everything and took some home. The smoke chicken was our favorite and we will definitely be back for that. Brisket was good and the sides were good too. Southern traditional bbq that hits the spot. I do wish they had white bread though. Nothing wrong with the rolls, but I like my bbq with white bread“

“Spent a week in Bentonville and was looking for a great place to hang out with the locals. Went to the Boars Nest on the first day and never went anywhere else! The food was great and the menu had a little something for everyone! The wait staff, especially Ashley, AJ, and Remmie, were very attentive and awesome to deal with! Thank you Boars Nest 🐗 for making me feel welcome and like one of the “locals”!! -Pittsburgh George“

“Great food. Nice place. Good people working here.“

“I couldn't ask for better customer service from the entire staff. And if I thought the service was wonderful, I was even more taken aback by how tasty and fresh and wonderful the food was. This is not an exaggeration. I strongly recommend the workmans brisket sandwich with the onion rings. OMG IT WAS FANTASTIC! I don't normally receive service to this level of care, but I did here and I will DEFINITELY return. God bless the staff and God bless the people who attend this price. Oh yeah, you can get all this great food and greater service at the lowest price around. This place is just great and the service and food you get will not cause you long to wait. Hot, fresh, fast and Friendly. *Mic Drop*“

“The wife and I had a rare opportunity to enjoy a meal together without any kids last night and found ourselves at longhorns. The table next to us was celebrating a ten year reunion, a happy occasion no doubt. Props to the manager for keeping order in the chaos because as soon as it went from a celebratory event to a loud party she addressed the situation to keep the family oriented vibe intact! Not a lot of floor managers would have handled the situation like she did, great work.

Now let’s get to our server Wes.
(Thanks for writing your name down)

Fantastic service! Organized, attentive, responsive, sense of humor, and the outstanding ability to communicate like you aren’t complete strangers. Our drinks never ran dry, ordering was taken in the appropriate time frame to keep the meal flowing without having appetizers, main, and dessert on the table at the same time. Y’all take notes and please give that man a raise. Service like that is serious and in this day a luxury hardly experienced.“

“Very friendly staff, fun atmosphere. Pork tenderloin and pulled pork were both excellent, hand-breaded tenderloin and fresh cut fries. Side salad good too. Also burgers, steak, ribs and breakfast on offer. Very convenient en route to Beaver Lake.“

“We were visiting friends in town and they invited us to enjoy dinner at RibCrib in Centerton. Oh my oh my are we glad they did. The dinners we all ordered were fantastic! All four adults and my two children ordered something different from the menu, didn't matter as all were simply delicious. The sweet teas were very flavorful and refreshing indeed. Don't think that was all for this establishment as it wasn't. Our server Miss Brooke was the ambience of southern charm and grace, making our last evening in town a perfect one. Thanks to all there for that and once again wonderful dinner.“

“Ate there this past weekend for my wife’s birthday and it was wonderful! Great food and nice atmosphere. Will definitely go back and highly recommend to others for a great dining experience!“
