Key Highlights of the Artman Experience

Artman Country Smokehouse distinguishes itself in the competitive world of barbecue through several core strengths that resonate deeply with patrons:

The Slow-Smoking Tradition: At the core of their offering is an unwavering commitment to the slow-and-low cooking method. Meats are seasoned meticulously and then allowed to smoke for many hours, ensuring maximum tenderness and the deep penetration of wood smoke flavor. This patient approach is non-negotiable and forms the foundation of their renowned taste profile.
Focus on Quality Ingredients: The management prioritizes selecting high-quality cuts of meat. Recognizing that superior raw materials are crucial for superior barbecue, they ensure that only the best products make it into their smokers. This commitment elevates the final dish beyond standard fare.
Authentic Country Atmosphere: The setting itself contributes significantly to the dining experience. Located off Highway 42, the Smokehouse offers a relaxed, welcoming environment reminiscent of traditional Southern gatherings. It’s a place designed for lingering, sharing stories, and enjoying hearty, honest food without pretense.
Handcrafted Sauces and Sides: Complementing the expertly smoked meats is a selection of house-made accompaniments. These sides and sauces are crafted in-house, reflecting the same dedication to freshness and traditional preparation found in their main courses, providing the perfect balance to the rich, smoky proteins.

These elements combine to create a dining destination that consistently satisfies the craving for genuine, high-quality barbecue. It is a testament to the idea that sometimes, the simplest methods, executed perfectly, yield the most memorable results.

This is the best barbecue joint in the area. Their meats are awesome; portions are generous; and the price is very reasonable. My wife thinks their corn casserole is the best. I can't remember a better banana pudding. The only explanation … More

Our Server Dan was very friendly and pretty on top of things. Our next time in we will skip the burnt end's, Mac & Cheese and Fried pickles. They were less than mediocre. The bacon wrapped meatballs tossed in a mustard sauce were good, and definitely order the broccoli rice casserole! More

I've been wanting to stop in for a year as I consult with a farm in that area. I have always been on a time crunch, but not today. Plenty of parking that was super clean. Door was hard to open and I did not expect a sit down type restaurant where the waitress very cheerfully greeted me as she served people sitting at a table. I could feel myself relax in this very homey environment. I was doing take out and they had a menu right at the register. They explained that everything on the menu was made on the premises. They take credit and the tap/insert was handy to pay with a screen on the register to add a tip and choose type of receipt. Seating to wait was comfy, but internet signal was limited (no biggie). The wait was short and I was heading back out the door with the waitress once again calling out a goodbye. I made it to my destination. I had a half slab of ribs, coleslaw, potato salad with a side of fried pickles. It also came with a side of corn bread or toast (I chose corn bread). To say the portions are generous is an understatement. There was a sweet molasses sauce and a not hot mustard based sauce for the ribs, and ranch for the pickles. The pickles, while not still super crispy (it took more than an hour to get home), were delicious! The coleslaw and potato salad were good. The ribs were out of this world, copious meat falling off the bone, to die for. Both sauces were perfect to dip pieces of meat into. Yes, I double dipped! 😊 There was plenty for 2 to share or for a full meal the next day, including the pickles (there a HUGE basket of'em)! I will be back for sure! Oh, and for sit down dining, they serve some decent beers too. Came back and STILL AWESOME!

Summerfield Jewel Artman’s located in Summerfield is a little jewel tucked away on Hwy 42 in Summerfield. They have limited table inside the building but they also have tables outside the building. I first tasted their food when our friends invited us over to their house. They served brisket and smoked chicken. It was delicious. So, we decided to go there not long after we tasted the food from our friends’ house. Our first experience at Artman’s was great that we decided to return and bring some friends with us. The restaurant opened at 11:00am and we arrived a couple of minutes before they opened to make sure we were able to get a table. Understandably, the restaurant gets full very quickly because their food was that good. When the doors opened, our server told us to sit where we wanted. The restaurant was very clean inside which was the first thing I noticed. Even the bathroom was clean. I came craving ribs and that was exactly what I ordered. I ordered a half a slab of St. Louis ribs. The server said, “let me check to make sure we have ribs.” He asked the gentleman behind the counter, and was told that they only had 4 ribs left. They had not received their delivery yet. I was fine with that. For my side, I ordered coleslaw and French fries. Ordering the ribs was not a mistake. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. They have four different kinds of bbq sauce on the table. I didn’t use any. I thought the ribs were perfect just the way they were. My spouse ordered burnt ends and he loved it. As I said, Artman’s is a Summerfield jewel. Go and try it. You won’t regret it. However, I do suggest getting there early so that you don’t have a long wait.
