When Southern Living Magazine declares their selections for the best BBQ in Arkansas, folks pay attention. And naturally, that restaurant has a huge reputation to live up to. Surprisingly, the new BBQ kid on the block, Wright's Barbecue, recently received that accolade from the publication, and this BBQ restaurant is creating its own waves in the game. Established in 2016, this award-winning BBQ restaurant in Arkansas has received so many awards both locally and nationally that it's too many to count. Come with me to feast on all the scrumptious goodness at one of the best BBQ joints in our state.

When Jordan Wright quit his corporate job to pursue BBQ full time, he had no idea that he would be on his way to creating his own BBQ empire in Arkansas.

And as a newbie on the BBQ block, he quickly made a name for himself amongst other BBQ giants.

After taking home the first place in a competition with his tender, Texas-style smoked brisket, Jordan realized that his BBQ was unlike any other.

So, he took a leap of faith and began selling the delicious goodness from a food truck. Though challenging at first, he was able to overcome some difficulties, and today, he's currently operating 3 brick and mortar locations selling the juicy smoked meats.

From humble beginnings, Wright's Barbecue is at the top of its game, and one taste of this mouthwatering BBQ and you'll agree that it's one of the best you've ever had.

Visit the restaurant at its Johnson, Bentonville, or Rogers location. Or perhaps stop by the food truck that is still in operation.

Running 24 hours per day, the smoker cooks pounds of meats to perfection over sourced pecan wood. The overnight process produces some of the most authentic handcrafted BBQ money can buy.

Smoked meats include the mouthwatering briskets, ribs, pork, sausage, chicken, turkey, as well as those delicious bacon burnt tips.

As far as the menu goes, the BBQ is sold by the pound, on a bun or by the plate. Other options include a BBQ bowl, salads, nachos, and family sized meals.

If you're hungry and ready for a feast, the Texas trinity is for you. Featuring ribs, sausage, the mouthwatering smokey brisket, as well as 2 sides, you'll be in BBQ bliss after eating this.

It's not often that I refer to a sandwich as sexy, but this sausage sandwich has me singing praises to the BBQ heavens.

Folks can't get enough of the bacon burnt tips. These smoky, bite size BBQ morsels will satisfy your foodie soul.

While all the smoked meats are delicious, the true star of the show is the authentic Texas-style brisket. Wright uses the same award-winning recipe that started it all.

It's easy to see why this mouthwatering brisket has won so many awards and accolades on the BBQ circuit. It's cooked to perfection, tender, and juicy.

No matter what you eat at Wright's BBQ, it's guaranteed that you'll be eating some of the best smoked meats in NWA and arguably in all of Arkansas.
