We will definitely be back here! The food was delicious and the meat was so tender and flavorful. Prices are great for the portions they provide. Sweet tea was not too sweet and delicious. The inside is a little small for the amount of people that come in but we were seated rather quickly and it wasn't too crowded once we sat down. The male waiter that served us was super busy and working so hard but he was very attentive and kind.

Surprisely, the food was disappointing. Artman's has always been a favor. The food seemed leftover and rewarmed, dried out ribs and pulled pork, mushy greens, fatty greasy brisket.

I have been here before and really enjoyed the smoked brisket, baked beans, macaroni and cheese. This time I decided to try something different. The Chicken Fried Steak. It was the perfect crispiness and hot when it arrived. It came with mashed potatoes and gravy. My husband had the smoked meat trio sandwiches. They were not warm when they came out but the server made it right and brought him a new plate.

I have been to BBQ places in at least a dozen states and the Pitmaster at Artman’s knows his craft!The ribs were coated with a fantastic dry rub and cooked to perfection and the OMG! Brisket was out-of-this world, juicy, tender and sliced thick so it didn’t dry out as i ate my ribs.I agree with The Hive that Artman’s is in the top 1% of Smokehouses, but in the US!In many states, people would wait in line for an hour for Q this good!

First the food; I ordered a Rib and Brisket platter. The ribs were excellent and I ate them first as they were on top of the brisket. The brisket was one big slab. The top part was cut with the grain and was tough, so I flipped it over and it was gristle. Apparently they had not separated the point cut from the flat cut, and I got the inbetween. I had already filled up on sides (which were OK, a little overcooked. and the collard greens had no real flavor).My brother and his GF asked how the liver was and the waitress said she never ate it but had been told by patrons it was the best ever. Well, theirs was overcooked and like shoe leather. She came over to ask how things were (I hadn't gotten to the brisket yet). They were honest, she was very sorry and bought her a half chicken in replacement (She said it was dry and overcooked). My brother soldiered on and finished his sides. We didn't see her again until we got the check. She asked if I wanted a box and I showed her the inedible "brisket". She seemed puzzled when I explained and said that's how brisket is. Since we were done and leaving I didn't ask for any adjustment to the bill and she didn't offer. My friend Ted got a slider platter with pulled pork, brisket and pulled chicken sliders and was very happy.The place has little atmosphere and is incredibly noisy; they were very busy so we saw our waitress very little. The food takes a long time to come out but they do advise on that as it's all made to order.If you do go have the ribs and/or sliders. None of the sides were noteworthy.

Got the brisket and ribs. This place is top notch. I try BBQ all over the place here in FL and it is very difficult to find actual brisket. The ribs were also excellent, tender but not totally fall off the bone. Everything was just excellent. The fries were super hot and well seasoned. This place is in top 1% of BBQ joints I have been to in Florida.

The food was wonderful. We went around 5:30pm, and they had so much business that they were running out of items. I will go back and try what I missed this time.

She Car

1/17/24Goods and bads.Waitstaff Crystal could use some training. Asked for to go box which she never brought so I had to ask a different server. She did not not check on us until we were nearly done eating and she got a bad attitude when I kindly asked if I could go to the counter with her while she ran my credit card (obviously she has never had her CC compromised).She seemed to take it personally and even made an extra unnecessary comment after running my card.Ordered the New Papa's special which was plenty for the two of us.Meat had good flavor. Brisket was slightly dry but brisket is a challenge to perfect.Please don't get angry at establishments that run out of food as they are trying to balance how much to cook so they don't have to throw food out (which drives cost up) or serve it the next day. Maybe consider going closer to opening to ensure everything is available.We went in about an hour before closing and they were out of their Moinks but that's our fault for going close to closing time.We felt the potato salad and green beans could have had more flavor, kind of blah. The corn casserole was great. Baked beans and collard greens were soso, again flavor. Baked beans are always better when meat (pulled pork or brisket) is added to the beans and I can only hope they make this change.Food temps were good, ice tea good, felt the price was good for the amount of food.We will return at some point and hope Crystal is not our server.
