Artman Country Smokehouse

"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."

"1/17/24 Goods 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."

"Small place, but that usually helps to keep the food good without issues of losing customer service. The food was good. Ordered pulled chicken sandwich with a small Caeser salad and Mac salad. Also a pulled pork sandwich with fries and regular salad. And sliders with broccoli rice casserole. The meat had some fat in it to give it that extra flavor. Lots of flavor. Tastes very good."

"We were looking for somewhere different to get lunch, and Artman Country Smokehouse showed up on Google maps. Let's try it. All I can say is WOW, it was great. We need to get back before we leave the area. Everything was great. Service was super fast. Great, great job, crew. We are telling others about this awesome smokehouse."

"It was my first time there. I ordered take out of brisket, BBQ beans and potato salad. I lived in TX a long time and am very fussy about my brisket. Theirs was outstanding! Fork tender, nice bark on it, not fatty. Potato salad was excellent too, German-mustard style. BBQ beans were so-so. They were extremely sweet with no meat bits in them. They tasted like canned beans where they added brown sugar. They were busy and I stood there awhile -- maybe 6-7 minutes - before I was acknowledged. People passed me 5 times. One of them could have said that they would be with me in a moment. Other than that they were great. The place as also very clean! I will be back!"
