Artman Country Smokehouse

Holy cow!! A wonderful place to come with friends and family. My cousin just moved to the Belleview area and didn't know about this place yet. I live in Deltona and suggested our families meet here. The food and service were great and the generous portions are welcomed. We absolutely like the options on the menu and will be returning. We had the option to pay by phone or at the counter. The phone service was sketchy at this location, so we had to pay at the counter.

This is the best BBQ I've had since we moved here a year and a half ago and I've tried a few so far. Just off of 42 - easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. They have indoor and outdoor seating.You seat yourself and then the staff will come serve you. They do regular drinks, beer and wine (and they have happy hour specials on food and drink until 5pm). They have a large variety on the menu and it was hard to choose.I ordered the 1/2 smoked chicken with 2 sides. They came out to me and told me they were out of 1/2 chickens and offered me 2 breasts or double dark meat (I chose the breast meat). When my meal came out - it was huge! The chicken was really moist and delicious (so easy to make chicken dry) and I had the green beans (with potatoes and kielbasa) and the coleslaw, as well as corn bread. I smothered it all in their yellow "tangy" sauce (I could bathe in that sauce - so good). They also have a sweet BBQ sauce and a Hot one. My only complaint, was that my green bean side had no kielbasa in it and I was looking forward to it, but the beans and potatoes themselves were yummy. I also really enjoyed the coleslaw. You can choose cornbread or Texas toast as your bread. My cornbread was the moistest I've ever had. Cornbread is so often dry, this was not at all. My 2 friends made different selections. One had the pulled pork platter with fried okra (you get a TON of okra - she had plenty to take home). She said her pork was very good. My other friend had the open brisket platter. That is a piece of Texas toast with brisket and gravy on it with a huge side of mashed potatoes and gravy. Her only complaint was her toast was hard on the edges and didn't break with the fork easily. She mentioned it to them and they took her plate back to the kitchen. They made her fresh new toast, cooked slightly under so it was fork tender, gave her a new huge side of potatoes and smoothened everything in gravy, since she likes extra. They really went above and beyond to make it right for her.I also did a take out pulled pork sandwich to take home to family with mac & cheese. They loved it. Said the pork with juicy and the mac & cheese was good. They loved the sweet BBQ sauce and even put it on their mac & cheese and said they made it even better.I will definitely come back here. The prices are also very reasonable for what you get. The meals and portions are generous and easily leave leftovers. I didn't get a chance to try any of the desserts or appetizers, but will next time. They have fried green tomatoes which is a favorite of mine.

We had lunch here and the food was fantastic and plentiful. They were very crowded, but it was worth the wait. Highly recommend.

Not sure what the hype is about. Service was quick and friendly, but food was overpriced and underwhelming. I ordered smoked jalapeños, listen... they charged my $8.50 for 3 little bitty poppers!! Highway robbery! I also got the rib plate with mac n cheese plus baked beans and cornbread for $23. The ribs were so-so, kinda fatty kinda flavorless minus being a bit salty. The mac and also the baked beans tasted to me like something I could buy at Publix in the pre-made section. The cornbread was the texture of cake and fell apart very easily. Not sure why so many people vouch for mediocre bbq in this city? Safe to say this was another one and done for me!

This place is small but mighty. Located off a main highway right by RR tracks you might miss it but don't!!!Plenty of parking space available with handicap spaces located in front of the entrance. As you enter there are tables throughout and if your order is to go - walk right up to the cashier otherwise grab a table and a server will bring you menus.Ordered the Brisket Plate served with 2 sided and choice of cornbread or garlic toast. Ordered one of each - cornbread & garlic toast. I split the meal, so each of us took a side and one of the breads and we still had enough food for to go boxes. The brisket was nicely cooked with great flavor and not dry as some places tend to be. Order the potato salad as a side very good. Other side ordered was Broccoli Rice Casserole - it was ok, very cheesy. Also ordered the Brisket & Sliced Chicken. Again Brisket was very good however the Sliced Chicken would probably be better if left as a whole piece instead of sliced as it was a bit dried out. Even thought their beverage choices are Pepsi it is worth a return trip

This pace has delicious food like you would not believe! Very local and come early or they might run out of certain things if you come later. We went for lunch and our server was so nice and knew locals very well. The inside was super cozy and country of course, felt like I was home. The fried green tomato's highly recommend and the pies! Delicious and worth it!

Very homey and intimate inside, not much of a "vibe" for dining as it felt like we were sitting in a house but the food was very very good. We each had a "Moink" ball to start us off as we waited for our entrée, the bacon was flavorful and the mustard sauce added a nice touch. The food was moist and tender, it was hard to resist eating all of the massive plate, but I wanted left overs. I heard good things about the corn casserole, it was good, but not for me.

The potato salad and corn casserole were delicious. The ribs could have been a little tenderer. My husbandvhad pulled pork and loved it. We'll be back.

13 people show up at opening and our waitress, the Beautiful Crystal was a server who handled the crowd like a pro. First time there, I treated myself to a two meat plate with 2 sides. Corn Casserole was to die for, the brisket and pulled pork were juicy was hot, Smokey and delicious. The place was clean and they let us put some tables together for our group and these bikers left happy saying " we will be back".

Great SmokeHouse Food....Brisket, Ribs, Chicken and sides! Get there early!Best to order Take Out for large groups!
