I ordered via the drive thru à la carte Beef Brisket and Baby Back Ribs. The Baby Back Ribs are a seasonal Limited Time feature. I was the only one in line and was able to pay and receive my order shortly after. I sampled both the Beef Brisket and Baby Back Ribs. They were flavored and cooked well. I used the mustard BBQ sauce to dip the brisket and ribs. This is my first visit to 4 Rivers Smokehouse for 2026. The Beef Brisket is my go to when ordering BBQ. I hope to return. read more

I'm not joking...the first word I thought of when I tasted this chili was fye! I'm not even sure the term has made it outside of the urban dictionary. But it's what I thought! Chili = FYE Toppings = FYE Cashier/Server = FYE Though it is a little pricey ($10/cup), I wish this chili was served year round. read more

Amazing food with so many sides and meats! It is a chain restaurant so kind of has a feel like Panera or fast food where there is a drive through or you order at the counter before they bring the food to you. But, everything was solid especially the brisket which was so tender and juicy for a very good price. I really wish we had places like this in the Bay Area. read more

4 Rivers Smokehouse is basically a staple in my overall spots I love to visit. While some of the flavor profiles have declined a bit over the years, the grand majority of the food still remains pretty tasty in my book. I am a creature of habit, so, I tend to stick to what I like and love. I usually just do the trio of sides order and call it a day, but when I am bit more hungry, I will venture and get a sandwich combo. They do have some seasonal options, so that is fun! I tried their pumpkin BBQ sauce, and while it was good, I definitely wanted it to be more pumpkin-forward on the flavor profile. I love anything pumpkin, so I tend to really want that flavor to pop when seasonal dishes or drinks are being offered. Service is usually pretty good (and quick - though at times, there can be a small wait for the Fried Okra). The staff is always kind. Pricing point has always been a great selling point here because it has always been reasonable. As for the decor, the newer locations have such a cute modern farmhouse feel to them with a splash of industrialism in there. There is usually always ample indoor and outdoor seating. If I am not mistaken, the outdoor seating is pet-friendly (or at least service animal friendly). Overall, great lunch and dinner spot if you ask me! I will always be a fan of 4 Rivers! read more

Great food and great service! We've only picked up from this location but both times - once at the drive thru and once inside, we have received nothing but friendly customer service. The inside was nice and clean and decorated for the Fall season outside with pumpkins. The food is tasty with perfect portions which is why we will keep coming back. read more

We've visited a few locations, and this one was easily the best. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the restaurant was spotless, and the food came out fast. Portions were generous, and everything was hot and fresh. We'll definitely be back. Please keep the vegan burnt ends. They're a fantastic menu item and make the restaurant more inclusive for different diets. read more

When I want ribs & a delicious brisket this IS my go to. The Cowboy Combo with their coleslaw, sweet potato casserole & the pulled pork sandwich truly are delicious.

I paid 20$ for a brisket sandwich in the drive though to be cold the minute i opened it in the parking lot. I was suggested to try cheesy potatoes, which i guess was supposed to be a casserole but the cheese was overloaded and the potatoes were overcooked. I guess the service was good. for drive thru service. Either way not worth the price. the meat was not bad either just cold.. upon being served. just disappointing. read more

Well to start off service was absolutely amazing we were greeted by a sweet girl at the counter. This was our first experience and she was so helpful in helping us navigate the menu. Josh served us our food and it was phenomenal (Josh was too) !! We can't brag enough! So we would really like it if you could open a store in our hometown of Okeechobee Fl! It would be perfect from the food to the service and the aesthetic we love it!!! June 4,2025 12 pm. read more

I came in with a few requests and Devin and Nicole were eager to assist and super good customer service. It was such a nice interaction and a world where it rarely happens. Really clean establishment and good food, always! read more

I've loved coming here for years! They have a good selection of BBQ and I've never had a disappointing experience. I usually get the salad, but I was looking for something with more protein. I'm glad they have a vegan 'meat' option on the menu. The vegan burnt ends are amazing! They have a good meaty flavor and texture. They went well with the savory tomato based bbq sauce . The cashier was very kind to let me try it before ordering the sandwich. I love the vibe of this location! It's like a Texas ranch meats a '50s stile diner. I'll be back! I want to try the burnt ends on the salad next time! read more

I came to the sodo location a few weeks ago for an event and had a little bit of everything! The smoke turkey and pulled pork were great, I wish I had tried the brisket, after the fact that came highly recommended. Each sandwich comes with 2 sides so I tried Mac and cheese, green beans, bread pudding and baked beans. All were awesome, fair prices. They threw in some cornbread which tied everything together! I also tried one of the desserts photoed with coconut and toffee. I didn't dine in so I didn't get a good feel for the ambiance but the service was so good and they loaded me up on different sauces so that I wouldn't miss out on anything! read more

I stopped by this location with coworkers for lunch. It was around noon on a Thursday and the place was empty. I tried their limited time offering: the messy dog. It's a grilled hot dog with pulled pork, coleslaw, cheese and bbq sauce. I love hot dogs of all gourmet levels and this was a great dog. It took some time to receive it, which happens at 4R sometimes, but the food was hot and fully loaded with toppings. The slaw was crisp and the pulled pork wasn't too fatty and had a good char to it. I'd definitely order it again before it leaves the summer menu. This location was very clean with an easy parking lot. Our table was cleared for us before we left which was nice. read more

I love BBQ. It's in my blood from my childhood. 4 Rivers is my favorite chain BBQ. They have several great sauces but I am always partial to their brisket. It's so good! They slice it in front of you as ordered. They have several staple sides but also rotating seasonal sides that deserve a try. The sweet potatoes and green beans are my usual go-to though. Every location is different but this location has the best layout for enjoying your meal and getting in and out fairly quickly. Price wise: they have a great rewards program that provides coupons fairly regularly. There are also great combos that are priced well and can leave you feeling full without breaking the bank. read more

This 4 Rivers location is a bit small - but luckily it wasn't a busy evening when I stopped by. Know that the entrance and parking lot are a bit confusing, so be sure to read the signs to be in the right spot. The food was classic 4 Rivers - clear barbecue perfection. The Burnt Ends are my all-time favorite since it connects the two best pieces of the menu in one dish. Don't be fooled, though, nothing is burnt, they are pure bliss. I also can't go to 4 Rivers without getting the macaroni and cheese & sweet potato casserole. If you're only getting one, I would suggest the sweet potato - you can pretend it's healthy, even though it's clearly not. read more

Finally able to try this location as they are closed on Sundays. Had the burnt ends sandwich with cheese grits. The sandwich was good, but a little greasy. The cheese grits were delicious but a little dry. The staff was pleasant and answered our questions. They did a nice job converting the space formerly occupied by Freddy's. read more

This is the first time in years that I've been to 4 rivers and I am extremely impressed and satisfied! The staff were so kind and helpful. The food was great and it was quick to come out. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. I give this experience a 5/5. Alissa is the person that helped us today and she was so great! I cannot stress how patient and kind she was. She needs her kudos asap! I took my family with me and we all had a great time and enjoyed the food. I had the sliders with fries and it was so good! You get to choose the meats for the sliders. The fries were so crunchy and yummy. I would totally come back. read more

Take out I am thoroughly disappointed and a bit miffed that I ordered a Hot Family Feast/ to feed 6 added 1/2 rack of ribs and asked that they add utensils, all to be picked up at 5:15, I get to the Sodo location promptly and wait for 16 more minutes. My time is precious to me and I had a schedule. My hubbys Bday celebration, Now I'm racing home having to REHEAT this tepid food to find NO dinner rolls OR utensils! I call and speak with "manager" who asks me if I would like to pick up the rolls at a later time?? REALLY! No I would rather give you a bad rating and I will NEVER think of 4Rivers to feed my family. Picking up dinner rolls and utensils after the fact does not help me in the moment. SODO 4 RIVERS YOU DROPPED THE BALL BIG TIME THANKS! read more

Liam was the best. Amazing food and great customer service. Must stop here in Orlando! I love 4 rivers!

Food was as fantastic as I remember it service was great and I really love the look of the new locations other than the fast food feel I really prefer the original location where you could see the food that they where serving... tried out the new maple syrup bbq sauce was good but would be better if it was a maple bourbon sauce (hint, hint!!) oh and completely dumbfounded they have no honey mustard for their fantastic chicken strips!! They woulda got 5 stars if there would have been honey mustard!! read more

Food was ok you could tell I lt has been sitting a minute but was still not bad brisket was a little dry but over not bad.

Overall good bbq for a chain restaurant. read more

I was excited when this place opened because it's closer to where I am. I loved the one in Winter Park so I was glad they expanded to this area. I went twice. It's what you would expect as it's decorated and set up similarly to the one in Winter Park. However, the food left me somewhat disappointed. The flavors were there, but the level of quality just wasn't as good as I was expecting. Food temperature was warm and not hot, kind of like it had been sitting for just a bit longer. It wasn't bad, it just didn't impress. Like I said previously, I am used to Winter Park and how good it has been in the past, so I will give this one another shot at some point to share that it has improved. I will let you know. Stay tuned! read more

Excellent service. Friendly people. Timely preparation. Delicious food. Best location, by far!

I'm on the fence regarding this meal. When I think of BBQ, I think of family meals during the holidays so it may be unfair to compare this restaurant to the food I'm accustomed to because I'm used to southern BBQ. However, the flavors were just not there. Everything could've used more except for the baked beans that had a nice smoke. The pulled pork slider needed more sauce and smoky flavor. The sausage didn't feel right being on a slider. It would've tasted better by itself. The turkey seemed like regular turkey, not BBQ. The macaroni and cheese resembled Boston Market. I wanted more sweetness in the sweet potatoes. Personally, it feels like an abomination to add corn and jalapeños to cornbread. This meal just wasn't for me, but it wasn't terrible. I still ate some of it. Everything was packaged properly and presentable, I just wasn't a fan of the flavors. read more

Stopped by on a Friday at lunch time. They were slammed but the line was moving along. The amazing group ahead of us paid for our meal, and we had just lost of dog. As I was thanking them and explaining this, the cashier also started tearing up. Not only is the food amazing, the atmosphere and staff make for a memorable experience. Everything was perfect, food was great, lots of clean open tables. read more

This is the first time in a long time at 4Rivers. I ordered the Angus Brisket sandwich. I got a mix of lean and fatty meat. It was very flavorful. I also got their Baked Beans the sauce was sweet and the beans were firm. There are also small pieces of pork. They serve fresh brewed tea, available sweetened or unsweetened. The sweet was not crazy sweet. The dining room is well lit with white painted brick and black tile. Our food was served promptly and we had a small wait for fried okra. (NOT FOR ME) read more

This location recently opened and has a drive thru for quick service; it is also available on Uber Eats which we used for this order. I opted for a two meat combo of pulled pork and brisket with mac and cheese and jalapeño cornbread. My boyfriend got the pulled pork combo with baked beans and coleslaw. We also ordered their peanut butter cup cookie. I really like the sweet and mildly spicy cornbread. The mac and cheese is also pretty good. The meats are juicy, though leaning towards a bit overly greasy imo, and have a bit of smoky flavor on their own and pair well with the sauces. The baked beans are a bit overly sweet. Overall though it's pretty good barbecue. It's been a long time since I had 4Rivers and that was from a different location; I remember liking it a bit better then but still found it enjoyable at this location and would order from there again. read more

I had placed an online order with a scheduled pick-up time. Although the order wasn't quite ready when I arrived, I understood as there were several large orders being prepared. I wanted to commend the staff for being friendly and attentive, providing me with updates as I waited, which I greatly appreciated. Also while waiting, I noticed how clean everything was and how prespersonable the staff was with each guest they helped. I would like to specifically highlight Anthony, who was at the counter. There wasn't a guest in his line, so he took the initiative to come over and ensure I had everything I needed as I reviewed my order. He addressed my concerns promptly and even offered to help carry the items to my car. His exceptional service made the wait worthwhile and contributed to a pleasant first To-Go pickup experience. It had been a while since my last visit to 4Rivers, but the friendly service I received has encouraged me to return with my family for lunch. This recent To-Go order was for work, but I look forward to dining in soon. read more

S. Orange Avenue/Orlando. Food was hot and delicious! Great service! The customer areas were constantly being cleaned.

Sooo delicious! The brisket is amazing: brisket sandwich, street tacos w/ brisket...both are favorites. If you order the brisket, there are 3 levels. Moist (a bit more fatty), lean (least fatty), and mix (in-between). Sides are tasty, too (collards, baked beans, French fries, fried okra, bread pudding, grits, green beans, etc.). A variety of desserts are available, too, with the Bayou Bar (similar to a blondie) being my favorite! read more

Best kielbasi in town but they call it Texas sausage. Always went to Winter Park but now that I found this, it will definitely be my go to place. Lots of selection on the menu. Got baked beans, Cole slaw and bread pudding which was all great. Just a ***** place all around. If you haven't been there, you really don't know what you are missing. read more
