Where BBQ meets burgers on Rogers Avenue
For more than 50 years, Art’s BBQ & Burgers has been serving Fort Smith with slow-smoked barbecue, handcrafted burgers, and scratch-made favorites. It’s the tradition you know, reimagined for today.
Art's BBQ & Burgers | Our Story
A Fort Smith Favorite
For more than fifty years, Art's has held its ground in Fort Smith — not as a franchise, but as a genuine neighborhood restaurant built one plate at a time.
The Smoker and the Griddle
Why choose between barbecue and burgers when you can have both? At Art’s, the smoker works around the clock while the griddle stays hot, bringing together two traditions under one roof. It’s what makes every visit a little different—and keeps guests coming back.
Dishes Born from Real Love
From our brisket burgers and slow-smoked ribs to handmade tamales, scratch-made sides and fried pies, there's a whole lot of love behind the food at Art's. Good ingredients, time-tested recipes, and plenty of flavor go into everything we serve.
Feeding Fort Smith Beyond the Dining Room
Art's catering brings the same slow-smoked quality to holiday spreads, backyard celebrations, and gatherings of all sizes. Generations of Fort Smith families have trusted us to feed their people.
The Same Standard, Every Single Plate
Whether it's the lunch rush or the last table of the night, the kitchen doesn't cut corners — not on the brisket, not on the catfish, not ever. That's the promise Art's has kept for fifty years.
