I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
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.
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.
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.
So, the next time you're in NWA, be sure to stop by the award-winning BBQ spot and savor all the scrumptious goodness your heart desires. Wright's BBQ certainly ain't doing nothing wrong!
