I was looking for a hand-formed hamburger. This WAS a hand-formed ground beef burger. Star one I had to sit at the bar to order. My seat companion was delightful. Star two As we know, I am a NON-smoker. I now have to shampoo and hang my clothes outside to air them.. I ordered one burger, with 1) mustard, 2) mayo, 3) a side of raw onions, a side of grilled onions, and a side of jalapeños. I substituted the fries for onion rings WITH a 4) side of ranch to dip. The 'smash' burger came cooked to murderous death (I prefer BARELY medium), NO condiments (1-2, 4) and NO raw onions (3). The onion rings were soggy with grease. I will NOT (ever) visit again--despite the delightful conversation companion. read more

Never had a bad burger here and hard to beat on some days. Reliable. Super chill dive bar full of friendly people and laid back bartenders.

The bartender David is very rude and disrespectful terrible customer service was rolling his eyes making rude comments and was trying to start problems for no reason would not recommend this bar to anyone unless you want to be treated like shit then this is the spot for you read more

Under rated burgers, limited tables, and an adult only atmosphere. Always my first choice for public outings.

David was an awesome fry cook, bartender, and flat top chef. I enjoyed watching him cook for me and others. The big burger with cheese was excellent. read more

Since my last review I've moved back to town and can't remember why it wasn't 5 to begin with. If there was a "best dive bar in America" contest, I'd enter Art's in it right away. read more

Art's Place - Now THAT is an Art's pour! - American Near Me - Fayetteville, Arkansas

The food is very good, me and my fiancé enjoy it every time. The service could definitely improve, just feels like when we show up and the fact we aren't regulars yet it doesn't feel all too welcoming having to ask where to sit and then waiting a while for service to arrive. But! once it arrives the atmosphere improves little by little. it's very dark and can be intense for a new costumer. It's definitely a real bar experience and honestly just a fun place in my opinion. over all, great place, cool darker atmosphere is a good way, food is great and affordable, and only thing that needs improvement is service but again it's not close to bad. read more

If you're looking for that cheers kinda place, this is it!! As a chef I was pleasantly surprised just how good the food is!! Everyone was welcoming, smiling etc.. and of course the drinks are cold and super reasonable in price. My new favorite!! read more

Love this local spot! You'd be hard pressed to find another burger as good as this in Fayetteville. Art's Hog Burger is a must. Tots, fries, and fried pickles all live up to the hype. Would have given five stars, but this is a smoke friendly environment. Fun environment with pool tables and a jukebox. read more

I'm shocked that this Fayetteville staple doesnt have more reviews. Arts place is legendary. Atmosphere: F-U/5 It's a smoky bar with pool tables, and peanuts on the floor...they dont care...neither should you. Drinks: 4/5 bar staff knows how to make a decent drink...pretty standard. Food: eleventy-billion/5 I am of course over exaggerating but I'll be honest with you, I've been coming to arts for over 20 years...I suck at pool, and hate smoky buildings. The Art's Hog Burger is simply the best classic style flat top burger you'll ever find anywhere. I've had as many as I can find from as many places as I've traveled...they just dont get any better than that burger. Next time you wanna go drop 20 bucks for something like smashburger or something, go get a hog burger, and fries for 6 bucks, and thank me later. read more

Art's Place - The Hog Burger...simply the best. - American Near Me - Fayetteville, Arkansas

One of best burgers in Fayetteville . Definitely recommend getting take out from here

Loser bartender wouldn't let me order food because he said he's too busy to check my ID.

Thank you Art's Place for one of the best cheeseburgers I have ever had. If you are hungry look no further. I was served a double cheeseburger definitely big enough to share with another person. The meat was juicy, tasty and the cheese was melting from both patties. The fresh veggies that come with are cool and crisp. It is also served with fries, but who was I kidding it was all about the star of the show cheeseburger. I will definitely be back and recommend to all of my California friends if you are ever traveling through or to Fayetteville, Arkansas. read more

If I could give a 4.5 this would be it. This place surpassed my expectations. A few pool tables and plenty of tables and booths. I'd call it a nice dive bar, and I don't mean that in a negative way. We will be back. read more

It's been awhile since I have been in a bar that allows smoking so it was somewhat of a surprise entering Art's when the smoke hit me. However it's been a long time since I've had an Art's Hog burger, but I am glad I went back! The burger itself was bigger than I remember and the fries were better than I remember. If you crave a old fashioned burger cooked on a flat top grill and don't mind a little grease you can't go wrong with Art's. It's called a "hog burger " because Canadian bacon is ground with the beef. read more

Best burgers in Fayetteville!!!!! Great service and if there is a problem with your food they will make it right with no issue!!

This is a great bar I decided to try out while in the area, based on Yelp reviews. There are great domestic draft and pitcher specials... $1.25 and $6 during their "lunch" hours, which run until about 6. We got a pitcher of beer and then mowed down on some of the free peanuts. This is the kind of place you can throw your shells on the floor. This is a smoking bar, and it is quite smoky inside. It isn't the cleanest of places, but I really liked the chill atmosphere. They also serve food, but we didn't have any. read more

Great place of you hate good service and you just want to sit and and look at beer that no one will serve you. The other bar guests are real treats too. There was at least 2 Karen's there ready to yell at anyone for no reason. I highly recommend this place if you want to unseat you current shittiest bar experience winner. read more

Great dive with great food. Good place to go when getting off Dickson Street to enjoy a low key atmosphere. There are some good pool tables and there is always someone around to shoot with. The service is good with a very down to earth type energy. The burgers are excellent and the fries are always fresh. The drinks are affordable and there is a digital jukebox if you like to pick your own music. This is a smoking venue so that can be a downer for any non smoker. Could use cosmetic upgrade but then again it is a dive. Parking is available in the front and behind the structure. read more

I've had many burgers over my lifetime BUT not one of them compares to the Art's Hog cheeseburger! We drive from Dallas to Fayetteville just for those decadent sandwiches! OMG!! read more

Great Burgers and live music. Smoking aloud and pool tables. Great People. Bike night every Wednesday night.

The bacon cheeseburger is the bomb, I tried the grilled chicken on Texas toast hot & juicy fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles. Hot fries. Plenty of cold Shiner Bock with free peanuts to eat and throw the shells on the floor. This place is a real dive / biker bar sometimes , very smoky but the food is worth the stop , Service was good, park in the rear and nobody will find you. PS if you don't smoke take an extra shirt if you are going out on the town after you leave you will want a change. read more

Best Burger in these parts. Friendly folks...pool tables. Great staff, and welcoming clienteleI and staff. Been going for years

Smoky and laid-back atmosphere. Enjoyable burger with the right homey flavor. Cheap drinks. Lots of televisions for gamewatching. Pool tables. It's what's to be expected. read more

Best burger on college here in Fayetteville bar none! It's a smoking bar pool tables and all! Although I don't smoke I still stop in after work got this awesome burger. Let me throw out a shout out to the staff as well-- they know how to put the serve in service! read more

This place is delicious! The burgers are amazing. I had the cheeseburger and it was very flavorful. My husband had the hog burger (bacon cooked in the hamburger meat) and he said it was in the top 5 of burgers he's ever had. It is a true dive bar with people smoking, jukebox blaring, cold pitchers of beer and greasy delicious burgers. read more

Place seems a little dirty but the burger was really good. Not a pre-made patty so that's good. Good peanuts & beer too! read more

Me and my co-worker were going to lunch and we chose Arts Place. We had both heard it had the best burgers. And behold it does!! I had the Arts Hog with double pepperjack and fries. Finally i found a reasonably real burger. It was the bomb! Mo had the chili burger and it was awesome as well. I highly reccomend coming and trying the food. Friendly service as well. Do remember this is a bar and no one under 21 is allowed :) be safe ppl read more

It's the epitome of a dive bar. It's smoky, great bartenders, 4 pool tables, with a juke box playing whatever the guests desire. That said, this place serves one of the best burgers I've ever eaten! The Hogburger is a combination of ground beef, ground bacon, and onions and it's phenomenal! I don't live in northwest Arkansas but I make a point to come have a burger whenever I'm in town! read more

Absolutely the best burger and whisky coke in town. We go a couple times a month and are always happy with the food, drinks, and service.

Service was kind of slow and a few things were missing from our order, but server got it squared away. Fair prices and some of the best burgers around. Maybe even the best burger I've ever had. Wish there was a separate dining area for non smokers because the smoke was awful heavy- but I knew it would be going in. Really cool place with a fun vibe, and delicious food. read more

I went into this place because I heard they had the best burger in town. I needed to place an order to go but didn't see a designated place to order. I had to find an open spot at the bar before anyone even acknowledged my presence. I was asked if I wanted to place a to go order to which I replied "yes." I was then told in an unwelcoming manner that "I was going to have to wait." I don't mind waiting, but I don't "HAVE" to do anything! It felt as tho my presence there was a severe inconvenience to them and wasn't wanted. Judging from the fact that no one stopped me as I was walking for the exit, my assumption was correct. I can't comment on the quality of food as I didn't have any. read more

Sad Pat made great food! However, he he did not serve the hands as promised. Worst hands this side of the Mississippi.

Its like a cheers.. if u go a lot.. no one knows my name but, the other day.. waitress remembered me.. knew what I drank and ate! Talk about great service! I recommend arts hog burger with pepper jack cheese and fries.. $7! Great food! Great prices! Even has pool tables, free peanuts, and a jukebox! Not a family establishment, must be 21.. and u can smoke. Being a non-smoker, it's Smokey, but the food is so worth it! You can always order to go! read more
