It was busy with 5 parties ahead of us, so we chose to sit at the small bar and ordered from the bartender and whoosh, she brought our beverages and no more than to minutes, our food arrive , over flowing the plate and smelling great. We ate our fill, and we each took home about half of our rack or ribs for lunch tomorrow, but ate our beans and sweet potato. A great night for our hunger satisfied.

This is, by far, the best BBQ in the area. It's a tiny little hole-in-the-wall, but dang, their…read morefood is good. Ribs are tender melt-in-your-mouth, fall off the bone good. Their brisket is smoky, juicy, tender. I love starting out with a moink, which is a flavorful meatball wrapped in bacon and BBQ sauce. All of the sides I've tried (baked beans, mac 'n cheese, corn casserole, potato salad) have been incredible too. Go early if you can, so they don't run out of stuff before you get there

Yet another over the top delicious meal was had at Artman's. This time, I introduced my middle…read moresister to how delicious this restaurant is! I went all out to give her a true taste of their delicious offerings. 2 Moinks, an entire order of fried green tomatoes and fried banana peppers. The moinks lasted about 2 seconds with the both of us rolling our eyes heavenward while savoring each bite. My sister got the house salad with brisket and I got the pulled pork plate with cornbread and two sides (yes, thank you Jesus for those TWO sides!) which consisted of their corn casserole and broccoli rice casserole. Service was surprisingly fast. Refills, fast service, the nicest waitress on the planet too! Jennifer was her name. We remembered easily because my sister's name is also Jennifer! Everything was so good that my sister says she's bringing her husband to try them because what country boy doesn't like good home cooking and smoked meat? I'm taking most of the fried banana peppers and fried green tomatoes and surprising my husband with them. He'll either thank me or be jealous of where we went! If you haven't at least tried Artman's yet, you are doing yourself a huge injustice!!

From The Blind Side: "You can go to the gas station and get best barbecue." This quote was…read morecertainly proven true in Leesburg by Front Line! Tucked in the parking lot of a Sunoco station is the best barbecue chicken I've ever had. The chicken was so juicy with an amazing smoke taste. Front Line offered three sauces that we're really good, but the chicken was so fantastic I found myself foregoing the sauce for half of it. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich. I am NOT a fan of pulled pork. I find it usually has a dry feel to the meat and can be stringy. Not here! Again, the meat was incredibly moist and juicy and was extremely tender without being mealy. I also enjoyed the collard greens a lit. The were very well cooked so that they were soft but still kept their flavor. The baked beans and green beans were okay, but not as special as the collards or the meats. But let's face it, when you're going for barbecue shouldn't the meat be the star anyway. Prices were very reasonable and the service was super friendly and very efficient. For the second week in business they really had a good system, none of the bugs you often get with a new business trying to figure it out. Good luck Front Line! Keep up what you're doing and you'll have a great future.

I read some other yelp reviews and was very wary about coming here, but I decided to give it a try…read moremyself. I will say that all of the reviews were correct. The meat was pretty tasty, but the portions are laughably small. There's absolutely no value in this and I will never return nor will I ever tell somebody else to go to it because the prices are outrageous for the portion sizes and I'm someone who doesn't eat a lot portions. Now the sides were not very good either the collard greens were super vinegary. The mac & cheese had so much oil on top of it that I decided to pass. The cornbread was dry, falling apart and tasteless and the barbecue bread was great value bread, whipped in the pan with barbecue sauce putting me in the mind of a crispy French toast that tasted like barbecue. The brisket chili was pretty good, but I'm not coming back for it. I'm still looking for a good barbecue place in Mount Dora, but this isn't it.

As much as I loathe @yelp because they censor and erase posts consistently, it is the only place to document such culinary malfeasance. So here goes. The food here was flat out terrible and insultingly overpriced. My little tiny 3 rib cluster was obviously par cooked at some other time, barely warmed up and thrown on a plate. The ribs were literally almost inedible. They were dry and tough, and I had to work pretty hard to pull them off the bone with my teeth. Some of the worst ribs I have ever eaten to be blunt. The green beans were unseasoned mush in a puddle of water, barely seasoned and barely warm, and the onion rings obviously came out of a bag in the freezer, undoubtedly from Sysco. Little tiny plastic forks, the cheapest you could possibly buy, accompany your meal. My dining companion had similar thoughts about his food. He had something like rib tips and called them dry and tasteless. The Macaroni & Cheese was the highlight which he gave a 3 out of a 10 and referred to as "edible." They have another location in Mt. Dora which is apparently closed indefinitely due to "vacation" or something, but based on this experience, I would steer wide and clear of both of them.

Once you understand that this is a restaurant founded in 1959, housed in a former two story home originally built in 1951, you may come to appreciate the history and understand the vibe. It is truly amazing that this historic restaurant has survived in 2026. I happen to like the uniqueness and honestylye-feel, as if you're at someone's grandma's house. There is plenty of parking directly behind the restaurant and a small lot in ftont of the restaurant. There's parking along the side too. I enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers surrounding the restaurant. Honestly, they can make for a nice photo on a good day. Upon entering, if it's busy, like on Sunday afternoons, you'll find that you'll receive a little card with a number on it. After waiting and listening for your number to be called, you'll be seated. Check the website before you go... You'll be prepared for the hybrid meal service. Some things are served to you at the table and are not unlimited, like soups and desserts. Some things are self-serve and unlimited, like the old-fashioned salad bar and hot vegetables. A server will hand-carve your choice of meat for you. Just "know-before-you-go" by taking a quick glance at the website. Is it five star food? No. Is it just homey country style cooking? Yes. They serve lunch and dinner. They are supported by generations of locals. Lots of people like to celebrate their birthday here. If you bring at least 3 friends to help you celebrate, you'll dine for free. Contrary to many reviews, I've never experienced or seen rudeness. In fact, I've seen staff taking the time to be friendly to guests. When coming here, you can't be super picky about the food - it's not a five star restaurant. Yes, the green beans may be from a can. It's okay, you'll survive! Enjoy the unique experience!

We didn't even stay after reading the menu and that says everything. They advertise it as a "buffet," but it's completely misleading. You're still paying for protein items if you want seconds, so it's not a true buffet at all. Feels like a bait-and-switch the second you look at the menu. The setup was confusing, the vibe was off, and honestly it didn't feel worth sticking around to figure it out. If you're expecting a traditional buffet experience, this is not it. Save your time and your money go elsewhere!
