4 Rivers Smokehouse is up there with Franklin's in Austin as far as Orlando Joints are concerned. I stick to the brisket, pulled chicken, beans, mac, and of course the cornbread. They also have the best Salad any BBQ spot has to offer. It's a pity the smoked Jalapeños are gone. read more

4 Rivers Smokehouse - Farmhouse Salad - Barbeque Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Im a Dasher, so my inspiration of where, new, to eat has been via my first impression of walking into Restaurants while I am picking up orders and absorbing the smells and sights. The customer service here is immaculate You approach the counter. Select your meats and sides and bing bang boom your order is prepared for you by a combination of a meat cutter in the back and a front man (or woman) who cups out your sides. When I told them it was my first time trying this place the front man offered me a sample of each item I was considering which was very kind, and tasty. I tried the sausage, but ordered the pulled pork and brisket. My sides were mac and green beans . The tables high chair wooden tables with their signature 4 rivers sauce. Only one, on the table. I am a lightweight when it comes to sauces (I avoid all hotsauces) but in this case I put a little of their sauce on the side and tried it, and it was great! Proceeded to dribble some onto the rest of my food to enhance the already amazing flavors read more

Love the food, love the staff always on point, and it is always clean . I order as pickup at least once a week sometimes more. Ribs, wings, brisket all very good. Love the cornbread! I wish I had pics I keep forgetting. read more

My coworkers LOVE 4 Rivers for their birthday lunches. I've probably ordered from here 4x in the past year. It's always a hit and the prices are fantastic for the amount of food you get. I normally get a mix of the large and small happy herds and then the family platters. I opt to do this for our office of 15+ because then there's more variety than the catering platters. Brisket, sausage, pulled pork, beans, and mac n cheese with the 4 Rivers main bbq sauce are the most liked items typically. Had a bit of a mix-up last time I was there with one of the workers thinking I had add-on coleslaw but they cleared it up and then helped me bring the $260 order to my car. Plenty, plenty of leftovers to take home and everyone was happy! read more

A little over priced for what you get, but the food is quite tasty. I've always had a good experience when visiting.

A great BBQ Spot to go to! The food options all looked amazing and the smell when you first walk in hits the spot. Tried the mac & cheese brisket bowl which had everything you could want in a bbq bowl. Paired it with a side of bread pudding which was by far one of the best ive tried. I was very impressed with the service and how nice the staff were. Indoor and outdoor seating and cornhole game outside for after you eat. Will be visiting again! read more

4 Rivers Smokehouse - Mac & Cheese Brisket bowl w/side of Bread Pudding. - Barbeque Near Me - Longwood, Florida

I met some friends for lunch last week and we ended up here after discovering our regular meeting spot was closed. To begin with, parking was a huge challenge for everyone in our group. Several businesses share the parking lot so it's always busy. Basically it's fast food style service. You line up, place your order, pay, then carry your tray to an open table. If you can't find a table inside then you can eat outside. Drinks are self serve with Pepsi products. I tried the limited time available Pulled Pork Bowl. Not impressed. Way too much rice and not enough pork. I'll stick to the platter choices in the future. read more

Quick stop for some awesome bbq but beware that it isn't cheap by any stretch of the means. The food has a really nice flavor & that brisket was on point. My only issue was that the corn bread was horribly dry & even bbq sauce didn't help out. The Chicken was decent but on the verge of being dry as well. It wasn't a bad experience but it was still worth going read more

Great BBQ! I stopped by 4 Rivers Smokehouse and ordered the ribs with a side of cheesy potatoes and cheese grits. The ribs were truly fall-off-the-bone tender. The cheesy potatoes are my favorite along. So glad you brought back the cucumber tomato salad! Incredible food and fast service. Everyone was so friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

Nearly nothing can top homemade bbq, but 4rivers sure gives it a run for its money. The establishment is a "quick service" style where you order at the counter and they make your place in front of you. I've visited several times but most recently, ordered the 1x2 platter, one meat and two sides. I chose the pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, and green beans. In addition, I added on a side of corn bread. This meal was scrumptious and everyone in my party enjoyed. read more

4 Rivers Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Longwood, Florida

I've been to many 4 Rivers in my life, and since they're a chain, a small chain, but a growing chain nonetheless, you expect a certain amount of standardization in their food, not only visit-to-visit, but also location-to-location. Well, around the pandemic time, quality and standard went down around 4 Rivers, I think we can all agree on that, but in recent years, it seems like they've had a resurgence of quality, and this trip was absolute aces for me. The kids say that, right? Anyway, I came here one evening for dinner. Quaint little counter service place with most of their food on display, people filing down, picking what they want. Pretty large dining room, lots of community tables, with them expecting you to sit down with strangers and strike up a conversation. Service is always top notch. Very friendly folks, people always coming by offering to get you more napkins or a refill on your drink, even the management! Another thing they've been doing lately is having seasonal specials on their menu. That's relatively new, and I actually got one of those items this time, it was some sort of Nashville hot fried chicken tender sandwich. So delicious. Perfectly fried, crispy tender, covered in just enough sauce, on a very toasted roll, sitting only on a bed of green. It was just perfect. I had a side of fried okra, too, and it was nice. Crispy, not oily, not slimy. What else can you ask for? We also split a three meat platter with a couple of sides. Pulled pork, good. It's not saucy, though, so expect to sauce it yourself. Brisket, also good. Not too fatty, just right. What I came here for specifically was to try their Vegan Burnt Ends. Beyond Meat did it again. I swear, if you blind tasted this, you may not guess that they're supposed to be burnt ends, but you would definitely guess that it was meat of some sort. Even if they didn't scream burnt ends, they screamed delicious. I'm excited by the evolution of this technology, letting vegetarians and vegans be able to enjoy in BBQ cuisine without feeling too left out. As for the sides we got to share, the Mac & Cheese was good. Not very toothsome, but very cheesy. Just make sure to sprinkle on some black pepper. But the star of the sides at 4 Rivers has to be their Bread Pudding (Fresh brioche bread baked in a creamy custard and crushed pineapple, cinnamon, and raisins, and topped with homemade doughnut glaze). Their bread pudding rotates quarterly, and it's always been something delicious. Well-soaked, cooked throughout, you get one of the crispy bits on top sometimes. Just good. Overall, 4 Rivers is knocking it out of the park. Not the best BBQ in town anymore, but always giving out five star experiences to all who come. read more

4 Rivers Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Pros: 4 Rivers barbecue is always delicious. All their meats were moist and sauced well. And if you want more sauce, they have their two signature sauces at every table. Service is always so nice. They're very friendly and know that menu like the back of their hands. I also like how they've started doing seasonal specials along with their classics. Keeps me wanting to come back to try the new stuff. Cons: No real cons. The side portions have gone down in recent years, but hey, it is a pandemic. Tips: Get the bread pudding, please. It's delicious, and it's rotating. There's a new one every few months. If you're feeling mischievous, get the vegan burnt ends and see if someone you're with can tell the different. They taste so good! read more

I always enjoy a good pulled chicken sandwich from here. Lots of choices for sides but my favorite is the macaroni & cheese, corn, cornbread that's a perfect mix of sweet & tad kick of spice and finished with Bananas fosters bread pudding! They have vegan options too! Plus they offer their house made BBQ sauce at each table. The service was phenomenal. I was greeted immediately and all my questions were answered about combos. Phillip was so sweet. He came around checking all the tables on several occasions. He offered to get refills, he ensured everyone's food was enjoyable and they way the wanted it, he even got another table cornbread warmed as she stated she likes it hot. Phillip went above and beyond for every customer sitting in the dining room. He took the time to speak to the customer on a personal level. That says ALOT about him as unfortunately I feel this is a forgotten gift to give to customers! The outside and inside were immaculate. Phillip was hustling on the table cleaning. All the stations were stocked and ready for customers! We've ate at the 4Rivers Longwood location several times, plus had them cater my daughter's graduation and made a cake for my daughter's birthday. Great place that really cares for their customers and their image! Cheers read more

4 Rivers has recently gained some great competitors in our area, with more BBQ food trucks turning into brick-and-mortar restaurants. I loved 4Rivers when they first opened, but I feel the flavor has changed a bit over the years. I like a classic BBQ sandwich, so I ordered the Signature Angus Brisket with two sides, fries, and coleslaw. I do like their coleslaw. It is good! My brisket was juicy and tender. Next time I would order without the bun. The taste of the brisket kind of got lost with the rich bread. My husband ordered the Messy Pig, and my mother-in-law got the ribs. The food was good, don't get me wrong. The location has plenty of seating indoors and outdoors and a sink in the dining area to wash your hands after eating. This is a nice touch since BBQ can get messy. Service was great. The line was moving quickly and our order came out fairly quickly. read more

Best fries I have had long time Ordered the two meat sampler burnt ends and brisket plus baked beans and seasoned fries Food tasted good and the bag of fries were hands-down the best thing of the dinner Had red pudding for dessert. It was just how I liked it slightly sweet. Can't stand those bread puddings that they soak in sugar. This one reminded me of old-school bread pudding, just sweet enough to be considered a dessert. I will be back again read more

We dined at the restaurant recently. We had the 1/2 chicken dinner and the two meat dinner. Brisket and smoked turkey. I chose to have the up-charge angus brisket. $1.90 extra. They didn't serve me that. They gave me the fatty chopped brisket. I took the meat back and they served me the proper sliced brisket. An average guest wouldn't know the difference. Not a good business practice. The half chicken was tasty but, over smoky flavored. Side dishes were good. Coleslaw, baked beans and corn salad were all very good. Typical bbq decor. If you enjoy really Smokey bbq, 4 Rivers is for you. read more

There is an outdoor and indoor seating area. You get in line to order food. The line moved quickly. The Brisket Sandwich was tasty just not enough meat. I ordered a wet sandwich for moisture. I like their barbecue sauce. I tried the new Maple Sauce and did not like it. They have a hot sauce option too. The fries were good but only half full. They have a wide drink selection. There was a Blueberry Cobbler Cake in the case that looked delicious. read more

We came here on a Friday afternoon for a late lunch. It wasn't terribly busy but there were a good amount of people there. There are both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The service was okay. The staff wasn't the friendliest, and was dismissive/short with how they responded to questions. When ordering I felt rushed by the girl behind the counter as well. The food was really good! We enjoyed everything we had! The prices are a bit higher, but overall portions were very fair. I would consider coming back if in the area, but would likely not go out of my way just because the service was just okay. read more

4 Rivers is a local BBQ favorite of ours! Every visit is a mouthwatering journey, but our favorite thing has to be the moist brisket. It is tender, juicy, and packed with that signature smoky goodness, it's a slice of barbecue paradise on a plate or bun! And as if the savory delights weren't enough, 4 Rivers also boasts an array of delectable desserts that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Their cakes are not only delicious but also beautifully crafted for any occasion, whether it's a birthday bash or the most special day of your life, like your wedding! I have been to the Winter Park and Longwood locations, I find Longwood to be a little less crowded and the employees are always friendly! read more

Have been coming here for several times and it is one of the best BBQ close by. This time I order a brisket and chicken BBQ sandwich with a side of sweet potatoes and corn. They also have more available sides which all are so good. They also have a kids meals and other plates. Brisken sandwich was really good meat was lean and juicy. Same for the chicken great flavor. Portions are so large. They not only have the dinning area but also they have a bakery with delicious sweets. Great customer service. Staff is so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Great ambience as you walk in they have a big board with the menu you can see while making the line. It gets busy but line moves quickly. They have a huge outside and inside sitting. read more

I ordered a take out and went inside to pick it up. I was met with a smile and waited on immediately. He got my order and asked if I wanted extra sauce, which I did get. I left as quickly as I walked in. When I got home, all the food ordered was correct. I'm glad I got a sampler of their signature sides so I could sample them. The baked beans were Luke warm and a little sweet for me. The green beans were luke warm and not as good as I remembered them in the past. Maybe it was the temperature. I took a pinch of the slider and it was room temperature and dry. It definitely needed something. The macaroni and cheese was the warmest and it was good. The cheesy potatoes were warmer too and they were good but it was a nice taste to try. Reminded me of thinly sliced potatoes for hashbrowns coated in cheese. We were really hungry for the fried okra and got a bigger portion. It had been sitting under a warmer, and out in my bag when I was getting my order. It might have been the container it was in, but I was hoping for hot, crunchy, fried okra and we forgot to ask for ranch dressing and used our own, but I was a tiny bit disappointed it wasn't as crunchy as I expected. More like moist but still good. The desserts we got were different than what I expected. I couldn't eat all my sliced blueberry white cake with whipped icing and cinnamon. It was so good and my daughter got a huge Reese's cookie. I think it would be better a little warmed up. All in all, I was happy with our meal and would probably try some different meats. read more

food was excellent. Service great and prices are very reasonable. I keep going back good place to eat.

Awesome food, flavorful and fresh. Very casual dining, there are picnic tables in front or seating inside. The staff were helpful and friendly, and showed an interest in their guests. Only two types of barbecue sauce available - one regular and one hot. Would have preferred another option. read more

4 rivers has terrible online delivery and phone service.The items are never true on the website as on sight. If you're placing over the phone, they rarely pick up the line. If you if you just stop by for ribs , you may be disappointed to know they're out of ribs , waste of gas and time. For rivers needs a dedicated customer service line where , when facing issues with ordering online , they still can obtain business by placing orders over the phone , not good service. read more

While the food here hasn't changed much the ambiance has. My wife loves this place but the bbq is mediocre at best. The issue this time was once again the leaky ac vents leaking condensation on our food and persons.

We got there at 6 on a Saturday and the seating was busy, but there was no line. The servers were quick, friendly, great communicators and efficient. Sage and Richard manned the dining room and brought out the Cuban, which took an additional step to prepare. I had the Six-Shooter, my kids had the pork sandwich with sweet potatoes, a Cuban with fries, and my hubs had the Coop chicken tenders and Mac & cheese. Sage and Richard were kind, which made us feel for the first time in a while like we were cared for when eating at a restaurant. They both came at conveniently spaced times to ask how our food was or if we needed anything. They clearly communicated their names, so we could call out in a friendly way if we needed help. It felt personable and like we were joining their family for dinner. A pleasant experience for my family! The tvs were on sports and the music was just right volume for talking to one another, but not quite hearing everyone else's conversation. The drink area was clean and well stocked. I love that 4Rivers puts out other condiments and to go lids or boxes and bags to make leaving easy. The Sweet Shoppe had a lot of the standard fair: chocolate cake, red velvet cake, brownies, caramel Hello Dolly, and Bayou bars. I'd love for 4 Rivers to bring back the regular Hello Dolly, though. Also, there were some new amazing looking desserts: blueberry crumble cake, blueberry bar, coconut key lime bar, & strawberry margarita cupcakes. There was even an amazing cartoon looking cake. read more

When craving BBQ, 4 Rivers is one of the first places that comes to mind. It's a great place to grab and go, or sit down and eat. Their pulled pork, chicken, brisket and burnt ends are all delicious. They only offer two sauce options, but they are both good, you don't need any more! They have loads of side options, some of my favorites are the baked beans (contains pork), mac and cheese, fire roasted corn, and cheese grits, but you really can't go wrong! read more

Decent location! Went for lunch during the weekday and everything was good for the affordable price. Service was quick and the staff were very good at helping to clean up after people were done with their food to keep the place clean. Ribs were a bit inconsistent, mine were great and tender while not very tender for other people from my group. But it's 4 Rivers so overall it's very good. read more

Food was good - Braylon provided outstanding customer service. The fries were nice and crispy and ribs were excellent.

This was our first time to 4 Rivers in Daytona. Both my wife and I ordered the brisket with 2 sides. I ordered bacon wrapped jalapeño and Mac n cheese, my wife ordered the baked beans and mac n cheese for sides. The bacon wrapped jalapeños were ok but very small they gave me two. My wife's baked beans were ok. The mac n cheese was the best side. We both agreed the brisket was very good. I got a iced tea and my wife just got a cup of water. Overall our meal and service were good. read more
