We love Wright's. The employees are always really nice. The food is very good. I love the bacon burnt ends. They have really good collard greens. Their other sides are good too- like a whole sweet potato and their baked beans. I would check their hours before you go though. Sometimes they close kind of early, like we went to eat there with friends on a Friday night and they closed at 8 (we got there at 7:54 so we decided to go somewhere else). This location is on the smaller side but we have never had an issue getting a table. There are two different buildings for indoor seating and there's outdoor seating for nice weather. It can be really popular with cyclists as it's right next to Compton Gardens and off the square. So many businesses went in and out of this location over the years, so it's nice that Wright's came in with some longevity. It's a yummy restaurant!

I’ve eaten hear twice. First time I tried the BBQ chicken nachos. Good just not nearly enough meat for the price. The second night I tried the smash burger. They were clearly pre-made the bun was soggy tasting the burger was dry and flavorless. A person that works here asked for my feedback. I gave him my honest opinion. I was asked if I’d like to try the bacon burnt ends. I agreed. They are salty like you would expect bacon to be. A little crunchy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside. Very good. I would recommend increased the meat on the nachos for the price and make the burgers fresh to order. Perhaps offer a fresh cut French fry as a side.

Wrights bbq is as close to Kansas City bbq I’ve found in the NWA area. Great food, a lot of menu choices and awesome side dishes too. It’s kid friendly too. They hustle to get your meals out in a timely manner too. Highly recommend!!

Wright’s catered a lunch at my work today and this food is AMAZING. Everyone I’ve spoken with at work has agreed. We got brisket, bbq pork, green beans, potato salad, mac and cheese, and greens.
I’m not a greens type of person, but I will make an exception for these because they’re awesome!

Always a delicious meal. Plenty of choices and sides. Absolutely the best brisket around.

Heard about this chain in Arkansas and got the chance to try them on Saturday night at about 7pm. Area was busy with many people there to view the Christmas lights at Lawrence plaza in Bentonville. There was a line that took around 15 mins to get to the front. The shop is small with only room for one pitmaster to cut and serve the BBQ. They were already out of bacon burnt ends so that will have to wait another day to try that. Pricing is a bit steep but in line with most BBQ places nowadays. If you are not hungry you spend about $20-30. I got the 3 meat plate which comes with 2 sides. Spent $35 with tip.
Sliced brisket. Competition style brisket flat neatly trimmed with a good amount of fat cap. Smoke was good. Seasoning was ok. Meat was lean but still tender. I prefer a fatty brisket. They hit all the check marks so I have to approve they make a good brisket. The pitmaster did me a solid and let me double up on the brisket since they had run out of the bacon burnt ends. He gets a gold star for service. Brisket gets an A
Pork ribs. Now here is the star of the show today. Some of the best ribs I have had. They had the perfect doneness where they were between fall off the bone and still retaining their structure. The meat comes off only when you bite into the rib, not when you pick it up. Smoke was good. Flavor was good. Ribs get an A+
They have 3 kinds of house BBQ sauce at the tables. Original, spicy, funky. Tried the funky one with mustard and vinegar and decided it wasn't for me. The original sweet sauce pairs well with their meats.
Greenbeans. Unusual recipe they have using a honey butter with it. Worth trying as no one else does it. Gets an A
Shells and cheese. Not from a box. The pasta shells were al dente in their own house cheese sauce. Good but nothing special in my opinion. Solid B+
Layout of the restaurant was crammed with little room on the inside, 4 tables I think with most of the room used to accommodate the snaking line to the front counter. They have patio seating but that is not what you want in winter. Not a date night location.
Absolutely lovely location and killer meals! My friends had brisket and smash burgers, I had just the burger, but it was all delightful.

Wonderful service, wonderful food. I judged the Reuben because the bread was not toasted…boy was I wrong! Loved the reuben, burnt ends, green beans, and collards! I will forever be pining for my return! Great location right off the bike trails! Wonderful, quick, and polite service
