Want clean food? Arts bbq is the biggest bang for your hard earned dollars. A choice of meat, rice, beans, or hummus. You will not go hungry after experiencing this food!!! The portions are big!!! Tucked away on Washington Blvd. look for triangular flags you won't be sorry read more

Great food and great service. The owner donates gift cards to the local community for their fundraisers and that's a big plus to invest in the community. read more

I have to say once again this restaurant is one of my favorite places to eat BBQ chicken, pork and beef. These brothers make one of the most amazing BBQ meat and their side dishes are truly delicious. They give you such an amazing serving and huge portions that we can literally have the BBQ meat and left over for two more meals. The amount of garlic and secret sauce to marinate their yummy beef and chicken are beyond any expectation and belief. I recommend this place for their absolutely delicious BBQ and Baked Beans, Rice, and everything else. It's a pure gem in a city with limited options for BBQ restaurants. read more

Arts is a small places. But don't let that turn you away. Inside was very clean. They service was excellent and fast. Staff was super friendly. Prices were very fare. The food was pretty good. I purchased the pulled pork. It was juicy and full of flavor. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars was because they didn't offer any bbq sauce. I left assuming it was on the meat. Other than couldn't be any happier! Amber read more

Art's barbecue Is delicious try it! It won't disappoint you! I tried the ribs the brisket and the chicken it was all juicy and delicious I also like the white rice, it has a really unique good taste. read more

The staff was really friendly, but the brisket was mediocre. I also had the coleslaw....I'm thinking that's what had me up all night vomiting. Rough. read more

Really great BBQ. Massive portions and great flavor. Friendly staff. Definitely a must try if you're in town.

Super tasty BBQ!!! Good portion sizes and so much flavor in the meat!! It can be hard to find good BBQ like this, especially when you grew up on the East Coast, you tend to be extra picky! we enjoyed our meals and the service as well!! Highly recommend! read more

WOW! Great BBQ in the most unexpected place. We ordered the brisket and chicken plates and both were outstanding! We've eaten great BBQ all around the country including Franklin's in Austin and this was on par. We asked for ours to go and enjoyed every bite around our campfire surrounded by Redwoods. read more

The five stars are for the BBQ. It was amazing. Brisket was tender and tasted amazing. The chicken was well seasoned, juicy and delicious. The sides are not made in house but still tasty. The servings were very generous. The dining area is sparse and beverages are generic brand sodas. Set a realistic expectation and you won't regret finding this hidden gem! read more

Stopped here on vacation checking out the redwoods. This place was recommended on my gluten free eats app. So glad we came here. It is delicious! We had brisket and peeled pork. Bath great! My boys and hubby were happy too! Would definitely eat here again! read more

Excellent BBQ! Fast and friendly service. The owners do a lot for the community. Highly recommend

Delicious! We had the brisket and chicken dinner. Brisket had a great crust and was super tender! Thanks!

These guys make a great meal and they're very friendly. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. Not fancy, but that's just fine. I would call this a "must try" in town. I don't think you'll be let down. read more

I travel a lot and I like bbq, so naturally when I see a bbq spot I give it a try. That's how I stumbled across Art's spot. The bbq at Art's was superb. I got a variety plate with brisket, pulled pork, chicken, potato salad, and Cole slaw. My wife got the chicken Mac n cheese. I talked fishing and bbq with the gentleman at the counter, he mentioned copper top off the 395 on the way to mammoth and the Owen's river. I think his bbq tops copper top. I look forward to another meal at arts next time I am in town. read more

The tacos are really good! Great portion of meat. I tried the pulled pork and chicken. I wish they had better salsa, but otherwise the meal was awesome! We got delivery from doordash. Well packaged!! Will be back read more

Better BBQ than anywhere in SF! Driving through on vacation, the girlfriend and I were FLOORED by how good Art's is. Last month, we ate BBQ at the highest-rated spot in San Francisco. Art's was better. In October, I grabbed some BBQ from one of the highest-rated spots in Kansas City. Art's was better. The garlic white sauce, in particular, is to die for. The food is delicious, the portions are large, and the service is splendid. Art is also a delight to talk to, with a kind soul and a giving atmosphere. We mentioned how much we liked the white sauce and he gave us a big container to go! If I'm ever swinging through Crescent City again, I'm stopping by Art's! read more

Art's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Crescent City, California

This place seriously has the best BBQ I've almost ever had. Top 3 for sure. I've eaten BBQ all over this country and Arts has the goods. I see some reviews of people get bummed that everything isn't always on the menu. Let me just tell you, that is a sign of a great BBQ spot. They sell out. It happens regularly if you're awesome. If you have your heart set on a specific item, my advice is to call first or, just order something else. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all delicious. Keep up the great work Arts, you guys crush it! read more

We came here right at closing and they said no worries. My wife got the pulled pork and I got the brisket. Large servings, enough for 2 meals. Super nice people and extremely well prepared food. read more

Always an exellent choice, great food and service , love everything and staff are kind people

Menu is a lie. All you can get here is pulled pork! I ordered grilled beef steak, upon pick up, I noticed customers coming out frowning. Inside, customers before me could only get pulled pork! Something about problems with stove....., read more

Tried Art's for the first time today~ I was surprisingly unimpressed. Sides come straight out of Walmart Deli. Drinks from there too. Ribs dry and salty. My neighbor told me to try the BBQ chicken before letting the axe fall~ read more

Yummy! Currently eating the ribs, chicken, pulled pork and brisket. It's all great! Art was super nice when placing an order on the phone. Everything was ready when we got there! Very delicious! read more

Amazing food, friendly service, great place, owner is great, showed us around. Chicken is fantastic. Wraps were yummy with garlic sauce that complimented the wrap. Generous portions. Loved it !!! Didn't take pics eat it too fast !!! read more

Definitely a local gem! Excellent food. Generous portions. Take it home for a feast with family or company. The meats are the main attraction, but the sides are also perfectly prepared. read more

Amazing. I could eat that chicken, pulled pork , potato salad and cole slaw every day. I bought many pounds of different meats when we were passing through town. Great gluten free and dairy free awareness & I felt great eating the food as a celiac. Nice guys too. We went several times during our visit. read more

Not a ton of dinner options in Crescent City for us travelers, but we happened upon this one. Cute restaurant a short distance from the main drag on US 101. 3 choices: BBQ chicken, BBQ pork, or beef kebabs. You can have them as a plate with rice and two sides (which are hummus, baked beans, cole slaw) or as a wrap. We sampled each of the three meats in plate form with all the sides. And, everything was excellent! The chicken and pork were cooked well; a little crisp on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. They were cooked with middle eastern spices (flavor, not hot). The kebab was soft and flavorful. The slaw and beans tasted very southern and the hummus was great for dipping one's kebab in. As a bonus, the food was ready quickly and the staff was very friendly. We'll certainly be back next time we are in the area! read more

Absolutely amazing food and large portions. The chicken tacos and the brisket are delicious!!

When we got there they only had brisket left. No worries, it was great brisket. The service was chill and the place had a hole-in-the-wall ambiance. Good place to try out! read more

Beef Kebab is my favorite so far. The taste is amazing and the price is affordable for the good and delicious quality of the food. read more

Art's BBQ - Beef Kebab - Barbeque Near Me - Crescent City, California

I love Arts BBQ. Such a nice group of people running this eatery. The portion are huge, my wife and I always share a combo and it is enough and I am a big eater. I also doff my cap to Art for not only staying open during the COVID crisis but expanding their menu while many restaurants closed their doors. The humus is the bomb. The BBQ great and the staff is wonderful. I recommend without hesitation. read more

Oh, this bbq is wonderful!! And wait til you see the huge servings. We always order the combo which is beef, chicken, pork, and choice of two sides. We love them all to much to choose just one. It's been our go to place for take out. Much less money than the "fast food" places, more healthy, and delicious. I really hope they stay here for many more years. Our town needs this barbecue! read more

The food was very good. We went there based on the 5 Yelp reviews and are NOT sorry we did. We each got a combo platter of brisket and ribs with rice that was perfectly cooked and a really nice accompaniment. Our side choices were coleslaw - solid choice - not too sweet not too vinegary not too saucey. Fresh crisp veggies in a good dressing. They also had potato salad this evening which was just like we like it with a good mustard/dill dressing for it. The sides are tasty and the bar b Que is very good. We prefer the meat to be seasoned and flavorful and tender enough to eat without sauces and this didn't disappoint at all. The ribs were moist and flavorful (they were also not overpowered when we did dip them in a little sauce). The brisket was also perfectly cooked with a solid smoke ring and tender but not mush. We like it to still have some texture as opposed to be pulled pork consistency and it was beautiful. We had seen the Yelp reviews about their house special garlic white sauce so I asked for some of that on the side and (figured we'd decide what to do with it once we tried it). It was fabulous too. We ended up dipping some of the brisket in it and they were a great flavor combination. The two of us ate a really quality tasty meal for under $40 which we are also so very pleased with. We are on a road trip and ate crappy flavorless gristly rib eyes (one 14 oz and one 6 oz) with super dead over cooked broccoli mush last night that cost us $60 before the tip. I picked the clear dinner winner so far on this trip. Thanks to the nice young man who cooked and gave us our order. Fast friendly service and good food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend! read more
