Perfect. Good rating, reviews look great, timing perfect. My mouth began watering in anticipation. We drive through Palatka and find Berndt Ends....CLOSED. We found someone out back and were told that they had a catering so they closed. No sign, no notice on the door or on the web, just disappointment that we couldn't try them out. Loved the looks of the joint. Loved the name (the owner/pitmaster). Loved the reviews. Just didn't get to love the 'Q. I would suggest a call ahead if you are traveling or not very near to this place. Rating? How? I guess I'll rate it 3 stars and hope someday to get back there and let them prove that they are a 4 or 5 star joint.

The food at Berndt Ends is stellar. I have had a number of their dishes (ends, brisket, ribs) and…read moreeven purchased a smoked turkey from them at Thanksgiving which was the best turkey I've eaten ever! However, the service from their wait staff has consistently been unsatisfactory. At least 4 times (on different days and times) I have sat in their front dining area waiting to place an order, only to be turned away after waiting 20-30 minutes. One time I waited even longer. The young lady took the 3 orders ahead of me and told me she would come back for my order. I waited another 15 minutes. She then returns but only from the kitchen door to loudly announce to me and the 3 new parties that just entered the restaurant that "we are no longer taking orders for take-out". I was taken aback at how this was handled because she knew I had been waiting a while and just ignored me. I understand that things get busy but this could be handled so much better. How about a sign on the door so I know upfront and don't waste 30-40 minutes of my day waiting for nothing? I left Berndt Ends that day and vowed never to return until they get staff that is friendlier and better suited to serve. This area in Florida has plenty of smoked meats and barbecue to choose from. While Berndt Ends sells a stellar product their customer service is so lacking, I would rather go to a place that is almost as good where I am treated fairly and, dare I say, even nicely. I'm not asking for someone to fawn all over me. And I understand you all get busy. I have waited tables myself and get it. Just be a little friendly and fair. I will understand.

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!!

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.
