I try to get my fix once a week at least! Best pulled pork in NWA hands down. Never fails!

The jalapeno-cheddar sausage was phenomenal. I struggled to decide if I wanted that or the potato salad to be the last flavor I tasted at the end of my dinner because they were both that amazing. I really enjoyed the pulled pork too, but the brisket was a little dry this time. I recommend mixing sauces #1 & #5 for a sweet and spicy mix!

Good bbq, I think they do a lot of business selling meats by the pound. I have only eaten inside and it has always been good. They have won a lot of awards for their bbq. Service has always been friendly and not that long of a wait for food to come out.

First time I've eating there, was very impressed. Very large menu. 7 types of BBQ sauce what's different flavor and how hot they are. I like the number 6, stay on this side I use volcano barbecue sauce. Their brisket was amazing! Will definitely recommend and return!

The smell of BBQ has never been so intoxicating.Various sauces to accommodate all levels of spice and flavor. It has been several years since my last visit but they have added many new items to the menu as well as sauces such as the 🌋 volcano. Not quite as tangy as sauce 3 but the spice is just enough to eat without getting light headed from over breathing. Standard southern sides, maybe bring back cornbread??? Many options to choose from, suitable for every appetite level. If feeling just peckish, a side order of fries with some sauces and beer will do the trick.

I ordered regular pulled pork plate and hubby got the while hog platter. They had run out of ribs, said that they could substitute more of the other two meats to make up for the ribs missing. I got more meat in my meal than hubby did. It appeared that they just left the ribs off, no substitutions provided. The food WAS good.

Good BBQ place. I got the pulled pork, which was good, but not great. It was a good sandwich to get in order to try each of their 6 sauces. The cheesy corn was outstanding; and the slaw was unique with a spicy twang!

I heard it was the best barbecue around, but I wasnt that impressed with what I got. I may have come at a bad time or ordered the wrong thing, so I'll have to hit it up again.

Excellent. Believe it when they say they're number one in barbecue. A little pricey. Could have gone to an actual bbq restaurant and had the same stuff for a smaller amount of cash. But I would rather have quality over quantity. Clean, friendly and quick. Recommended for guys nights out.

Had a pulled pork sandwich. The meat was obviously high quality, so points for that. But it had little no seasoning and the barest wisp of smoke flavor. Tried all the sauces including the volcano sauce that you have to ask for. They were all outstanding, but amazing sauce does not good barbecue make. The cheesy corn was tasty but lacked salt. Definitely wondering where all the trophies in the place came from as the food is just OK. Nothing special. Good things besides the sauces are the staff was friendly and they had decent tap beers.

I love that they have 6 sauces to choose from, but that's about it. The food is generally bland and generic and the meat flavorless without sauce. I've tried this place 4 or 5 times, and think I'm done. Money is better spent at numerous other BBQ places in town. :(

Barbecue is one of the most subjective food you can order. Different styles, different ways to cook, different textures, and different sauces divide every aficionado. Whole Hog might be the exception: everything is excellent and there are six different sauces sure to satisfy even the most particular slow cooked fan.

Zoe (sp?) and the rest of the staff are always super friendly and have never failed to take care of me. The food is great, prices are reasonable, they usually have good local beer on tap, and the staff is incredible! They treat me right and have me coming back about once a week. I love this place.

Decent Barbecue for Northwest Arkansas. Pulled pork and pork loin are almost always a sure bet. Pulled pork ribs are awesome when available. The burnt ends where over charred. The flavor was still good once you got to the middle of the meat cubes. The potato salad is the best in the region.

The beef brisket very average, dry, little flavor. Baked beans were ok, but mac and cheese was dull, lacked flavor. Fries were marginal. Portions were pretty small. The sauce selection was excellent, and they were good. But go to Wright's for much, much better barbeque.

Grossly overpriced for the low quality that it is. And I had to build half my own nachos with pre-packaged sour cream and a small cup of jalapeños. Never going back.

Hadn't been here in over a year. They did not disappoint. Sauces are absolutely on point. Quality of pork is high as ever. There's a reason they've won so many awards. They'll continue to be NWAs best BBQ spot in my eyes!

Decent BBQ, I would say overall, its not a bad place to stop in for a quick bite. They are generous in their portions and staff are always friendly. The sides here are pretty decent but the BBQ here is mediocre. Sorry to say that, there are just several other restaurants I would choose before going here for BBQ. This is a good place to stop in for lunch, they are fast and get your food to you quickly. The facilities could stand to be a little cleaner as well. Overall you wont have a bad experience here, you just won't have a memorable one.

Worst BBQ I've had in Fayetteville. The prices are equal to or more than other bbq joints in town, and the food was very disappointing. The sides were ok (beans and potato salad), but hard to mess that up, especially when the beans probably come from a can. The brisket, on the other hand, was expensive, dry, chewy, and tasted bland. Don't let their 7 sauces reel you in. Go to Lucky Luke's or Wright's (or anywhere else, really) instead
