Southern Living magazine recently called Johnson-based Wright's BBQ the best in Arkansas.
Background: Jordan Wright started the operation out of a food truck before opening the first brick-and-mortar restaurant in Johnson in 2017 and later expanding into Bentonville and Rogers.
Alex's thought bubble: Wright's is a must-try for anyone in NWA who loves barbecue. I have yet to find a menu item I wouldn't recommend, but my fave is the pulled pork with mac and cheese and collard greens.
