My wife and I went here on a lunch date and to start we got the fried pickles with homemade ranch yum!! We got to burnt ends the brisket and rib plate and my wife got a burger. Everything was amazing! I’ve been looking for a good barbecue restaurant in fort Smith and I think I found one ribs were great barbecue sauce is good. The fried pie was super yummy. The burger and all the meat piled on top of it was great as well!! We absolutely never seen a half empty glass not kidding . Absolutely amazing service. I have no idea how I have never been here!

This food was gas! I know bbq and this is some the tastiest I’ve had. The service matched! They were close to closing but they did not rush me nor did the food quality fall off. I had a brisket burger with smoked and other burger normal toppings. I also had the salsa and chips. I really didn’t care for the salsa, but the chips were really good and seasoned. Also the fries were seasoned differently and were

I think this is probably our favorite place to pickup some BBQ in Ft Smith. We are big fans of brisket, and theirs has a great flavor. I always order takeout at the bar and the staff is always friendly. Always offers me a water while I wait, if I didn’t already order something to drink. We have been here several times and will go again in the future, I’m sure.

Updat 2025. It’s still my favorite place to eat. Great ribs, hamburgers, fties, onion rings,and chicken.
Great ribs, and today was 1/3 rack day with one side. Wow, the Ribs were very tender and seasoned just right, but the fries, large portion of right out of the grease hand cut fries, and were fantastic. I’d come here just for the fries. My husband got the 1/2 smoked chicken, large serving with 2 sides, an
d he also got a larger portion than I did. He said it’s the best chicken he’s ever had and amazing fries worth coming back for. A winner in our book and a repeatable restaurant for us. Great job. 2024, New Years Eve, and as usual, it doesn’t disappoint. Best BBQ around.

Stopped here to try the Smoked Reuben. Decent smoked flavor. Had a side of baked beans as the side.Good flavor. Decided to try a Mac&Chz burger the following day. Mac&Chz made the whole burger. Fries were on point. Nice portion size for burger and fries. Will be back to try some BBQ next time around.

Great bbq joint that has a great vibe. The music is funky and so is the parking lot.

Went there upon recommendations for the catfish and was very disappointed. The service was not good overall. There were moments when the servers were good but it didn’t make up for the ignoring empty cups even when we held it out to them! I had to get up and go to the counter to get service because after waiting over 10 minutes no one came back to our table to ask about refills or more catfish. The burger was dry and the catfish was bland lacking seasoning. ( Who doesn’t have Cajun seasoning in the kitchen?) Half the fries tasted great but the other half were undercooked. The okra was over done and super greasy. It’s really disappointing because when we walked it, it smelt like we were going to get great food. I’m not going to talk about how dirty the blinds and window sills are… Overall it was decent but not somewhere to eat at again for us. We understand it was busy but even after some of the customers cleared out the service stayed bad. The regulars were well taken care of though we noticed. I would have loved to say the BBQ was good but the pulled pork also needed more seasoning. (The rub shaker was cute but I like my spice cooked not sprinkled).

Love everything about Arts! They are a great family ran restaurant that is willing to do anything for their customers. I have never had a bad experience or bad meal! They are amazing and do some much for the community! Highly recommend them for everything!! Also best catering in town!

This is one of the BBQ places that can go under the radar sometimes, but is quickly becoming our favorite spot.
I know I use this word a lot when it comes to reviews, but they are consistent with their food and friendly.
This is one of two places with the best grilled chicken sandwiches in town, why is it better you ask ?
Because unlike the chain restaurants, both their grilled chicken breast sandwich and their smoked sliced chicken sandwich have that “just grilled out back” home taste big franchises cant match.
Other items on the menu look really good too, although we have not tried it all.

The staff is very friendly and the food is always hot and fresh. The BBQ is amazing, and the burgers are probably the best in Fort Smith. And the onion rings are fantastic. In a pinch, we call in our order and go thru the drive thru line!!
