FlavorSmith’s Craft Barbecue

Gem of a place with DELICIOUS food and tremendous service!

TL:DR
This is a newer BBQ place in Fayetteville, but it can compete with Penguin Ed's, Sassy's and even Wright's BBQ!
Try the turkey and mac and cheese for sure, and don't leave without the banana pudding - all made in house!

Details:
Showed up here about an hour before closing on a Friday evening. Friendly staff were helpful in choosing our menu items, and the owner/grill master brought us samples of turkey and brisket... oh my word. Delicious way to start the experience.

We tried the "Hot Mess" loaded baked potato, turkey sandwich, smoked sausage, mac and cheese, and baked beans. Everything was good, but extra-special shout out to the juicy peppered turkey which was melt-in-your-mouth good, and to the creamy mac & cheese, which beats just about any I've had in NWA.

Owner also brought out a sample of their homemade banana pudding, which the kids and I agreed was among the best we've ever tasted.

Add to the great food the fact that they have seating out back where a little stream goes gurgling by as you eat, making it seem a bit surreal as you dine in this unlikely little hideaway in the middle of town.

We will be back soon, and you should give this place a try IMMEDIATELY!

Great BBQ and atmosphere! I had the brisket, pork ribs, sausage, turkey, beans and potato salad. All excellent, especially the brisket. You will get great customer service as well. Will definitely come back.

Went there today with my brother to get lunch for the whole family. The owner was there, and he was amazing. It was our first time, so he gave us some samples. He was very friendly and helpful.

We ordered the brisket, turkey, and sausage. Mac and cheese, potatoe salad, beans, and coleslaw. All of the food was very, very good. Meat was all juicey and cooked perfectly. I've had a lot of the BBQ in northwest Arkansas, and this is definitely the best. The owner also gave me a sample of the brisket burger and it was phenomenal.

Will be going back for sure.

First time visiting and our experience was great ! We tried Brisket, Ribs, Turkey & Sausage. Thanks to the friendly staff & owner. This place is a must for BBQ lovers 👍

My family went for lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the food. It is definitely a fusion between Texas style salt and pepper bbq and Kansas City sweet, smoky, and molasses style sauces. Our favorites meats were the turkey, jalapeño sausage, and brisket. My wife loves the dry, less fatty side of the brisket, so this was her favorite meat. All the sides were good, but the Mac n cheese is a must. Both sauces are KC style and provide a sweet and smoky addition to their meats and bbq baked beans. Lastly, the owner brought us out free banana pudding to try and it did not disappoint. I’d stop back just for this family secret recipe. Overall, I’d go back again and I am putting it in my regular dining rotation. One thing to note is that there is limited parking and space inside the building, so plan accordingly if the weather is not cooperating.
