Although this place resides within a gas station, once you're inside it feels more like a restaurant with a convenience store. There are tables, chairs with back support, and warm hospitality. I usually take my meal to go, but I've also comfortably eaten inside.

This is a hidden gem…read more This BBQ joint is in a gas station, and its almost perfect! We ordered their pork and their beef plates, which came with 2 sides. The beef was incredible and so delicious! Lots of little carmelized bits of fat. The mac and cheese was so good, as it was near the end of the pan and had lots of really good crusty cheese! I will be back?!

Captain's BBQ at Bing's Landing checked every box. We enjoyed lunch under the canopy of live oaks overlooking the water, then wandered over to the free Mala Compra Plantation Archaeological Preserve for a little local history before heading home. Even Oreo enjoyed the walk. This visit, we both ordered the Cuban sandwich. My dining companion said it's her favorite thing on the menu. While it wasn't my favorite item I've had here, it was still enjoyable. I actually preferred the pulled pork sandwich I ordered on a previous visit, so next time I'll probably go back to that. Now let's talk desserts...because that's where Captain's BBQ really wins me over! Their desserts are consistently delicious, generously sized, and absolutely worth saving room for. I also appreciate that they offer a more interesting drink selection than you'd expect from a casual barbecue spot. Besides the usual fountain drinks, you'll find glass bottles of Cheerwine and Jarritos along with canned ciders, ales, and hard seltzers. Ordering is simple. You stand in line to place your order, then wait for your name to be called at the pickup counter before choosing to dine inside, on the covered porch, or at one of the picnic tables outside. One thing that gives Captain's BBQ extra character is the decor. Take a few minutes to look around inside--the walls are filled with local memorabilia, community awards, and fun Palm Coast touches that make the restaurant feel connected to the area rather than just another barbecue joint. And don't leave once you've finished eating! Right next door is the free Mala Compra Plantation Archaeological Preserve, where you can walk through the preserved archaeological site and learn a little local history. It adds a unique element to your visit and turns lunch into a relaxing afternoon exploring one of Flagler County's hidden gems. Overall, Captain's BBQ offers much more than just good food. Between the scenic waterfront setting, shady oak trees, dog-friendly outdoor seating, delicious desserts, interesting drink selection, and the chance to explore local history just steps away, it's an easy place to spend a few enjoyable hours. We'll definitely be back!

A solid 3.5 since we can only give full stars…read more Good sized parking lot. Ordered burnt ends $16.99 and brisket plate $15.99. Pretty quick service - they call out when your order is ready. We wanted to really like this place and had high hopes due to the other reviews but brisket was a little on the dry side and the burnt ends were a bit hard and fatty. The best thing was the tangy mustard sauce. Big open screened are in back overlooking the water. Noise level not too bad. We were hoping for better but glad we stopped to try it.

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!!

I wasn't a huge fan, they tasted like hotdogs and were fried as well. I ordered "The Smitty" which was a brisket sandwich with sliced sausage,cheese, pickles and onions. The portion was huge! I ate some meat before I could actually eat the sandwich-a good thing. They have various sauces on the table and my favorite was by far the mojo. The collard greens were just okay. The pulled pork had a decent flavor, but it was more like pork chunks instead of that nice pulled texture.

So I am adjusting my review of this fast food joint, due to the "owners" snooty, uncalled for and…read moreviolently unhinged response to my review on Google. Wow, I must have really struck a nerve! It's ALWAYS the lackluster places, that don't take constructive criticism very well. You have no idea how much I can smoke, and I will smoke circles around you. How many competitions have you been in again? No need to act all snooty, because your food sucks and you don't know how to carve a tri-tip, nor do you know how to smoke a brisket. And your "professional pitmaster" Can't even smoke a pork butt for pulled pork, but in such a hurry to crank out an inferior product, can only make sliced. What is that, 6 hours on a smoker? Hahaha!!! In my no holds barred review, I actually complimented you on MULTIPLE facets. And since you want to act the way that you're acting and throw a fit because you're serving an inferior product and bragging about speed over quality, I'm going to knock you down to one star! How do you like that? REAL pitmasters smoke brisket (AND PULLED pork) And the last I checked, it's not on YOUR menu. ::shrug:: Your food actually sucks, and I was trying to be positive and give you guys a higher rating, by someone who actually KNOWS BBQ, but since you went and did what you did, I'll just come out & say it! "One" rack of ribs XD. My ribs are Johnny Trigg style, and take 6 hours from beginning to end with another 12 going into prep, and I can smoke WAY more than one rack at a time, dummy. Do you even know what kind of smoker I have? Did you bother to look? Ditch the attitude. Because the only thing you're really got going on for you right now, is that you don't use a pellet oven. How about this, I'll come back through, and take over your operation for a week, free of charge, and show you how it's REALLY done, and get your ratings up a little bit higher, and make sure that not just the locals are leaving your reviews? We'll see who the amateur is then. You have no idea what I've smoked in my life, or the smokers that I've used. You also have zero idea about my culinary past. Rage emotion much? Yeah, that's a telltale sign of insecurity. How about this, I'll bring an offset reverse flow trailer smoker, park it in Circle k, and take all of your business while you're in a scurry "wrapping" your "87 pounds of beef" or whatever it is to a demographic that doesn't know true barbecue, But are just happy to have something other than Mexican and Cuban food. You probably serve "Award winning 'fall of the bone' ribs", which in a competition, you would be disqualified for. Because all you got to do is steam those puppies and then throw them in your traeger (sp?) and slap on your pungent, lame, whack sauce that you emphatically offer, to cover up the inferiority of your barbecue. You should have kept your mouth shut. I compliment you, and you take a dump on me? Y'all better hope a REAL smokehouse doesn't open up in your demographic, because you'll go belly up. As a matter of fact, I've actually been looking for a new location for a new restaurant. Hmmmm.... Yeah... Smokin "D's" is RIGHT HAHAHAHA!
