The best BBQ joint in Arkansas, according to Southern Living

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Wondering where to find the best barbecue in the Natural State? Southern Living says it has the answer.

The magazine publication recently released its "The South's Best Barbecue Joint In Every State 2024."

Wright's Barbecue was named the best in Arkansas.

Owner and pitmaster Jordan Wright opened the first Wright's Barbecue in 2017 in Johnson but has since added locations in Bentonville, Rogers and Little Rock, according to their website.

"The offering is pure - Texas style, with platters of thick-sliced brisket, spareribs, and sausage plus hearty sides like gooey shells-and-cheese and pit-smoked beans," Southern Living said.

Wright's was also voted the best barbecue joint in the state in 2023.

The barbecue chain took to Facebook to thank its customers.

"Our goal was to always make the best barbecue we could possibly make, while putting Arkansas on the barbecue map. But we’d like to think we’re just getting started. And none of this is possible without the people who believe in us. For that, we’re grateful. Thank you for supporting @wrightsbarbecue," the post said.
