It’s so good, they’re lining up for it in Chicago at Windy City Smokeout!

What started as a food truck, Wright’s Barbecue’s main purpose was to create a culinary experience with barbecue. They’ve given people the opportunity to go back in time and experience a cooking experience that is uncommon to this area and is becoming more rare as time goes on.

They transport you back to the method of open flame, 100% wood fire, on a pit.

It’s simple, but hard.

They believe the only way to achieve the flavor and tenderness of real barbecue is through the method of old. You can have a life-changing barbecue experience.

They’ve embraced the barbecue culture by using methods that require dedication, hard work, and love for smoked meat. We source pecan wood from downed central Arkansas trees. From the start each week, to when we end, our fires never stop burning. An overnight process that delivers fresh food when you need it.

During their original launch of the food truck, they served the community in the capacity of farmer’s markets and community events. That build a reputation for creating a barbecue that couldn’t be found anywhere else in North West Arkansas.

With a loyal following In the spring of 2017, they decided to open up on Friday at a place in Johnson, a little white house. (A match made in heaven).

A one-street town with a history, the house dating to 1917. That was successful, but we wanted more exposure – moving the trailer to a densely populated place in Fayetteville. When the white house in Johnson became available, it was evident that they had to move back. They’ve been rolling ever since!
