    4 Rivers Smokehouse is a great fast-casual bbq spot and we decided to come by for lunch as a…read morefamily. The line was not too long and we were able to order quickly. We got a variety of things from their menu to try. The kids meals are perfect portions and my kids were satisfied after. I personally tried their bbq melt with 2 sides (mac and cheese, baked beans). I loved everything, but the bbq melt was interesting.. not fully warmed up so some parts were cold. One cool part of our experience was that if you are pregnant you get a free treat of your choice. At this point I was extremely pregnant and the worker noticed and told me about that. I was surprised I could get any dessert even the big ones. I ended up going with their m&m cookie warmed up. The cookie was heavenly. I wasn't expecting much since I primarily view them as a bbq spot, but I definitely want to try more desserts in the future. Overall: 4.5 stars - easily would be 5 if the bbq melt wasn't half cold!

She ordered brisket and a piece fell on the table and made a hard thunk... our dog refused to eat it. 4RNA=4R NEVER AGAIN. I used to enjoy this place but since the flies roaches and rodents infestation the quality is circling the drain.

    Great for dinner and got two 1x2 plates to-go: moist brisket with mac n' cheese and collard greens…read moreand then smoked chicken (dark) with bbq beans and green beans. The service was steady and I came in around 5ish so it didn't pick up til after I arrived. The staff were nice and polite. It was quiet but had several tables occupied. The chicken was moist and dipped with the spicy bbq enhanced the flavor. All sides were seasoned well especially the green beans and collard greens. Cornbread was good, just note it does have jalapeños. I would say the only feedback was the brisket appeared to be more lean than moist. When we ordered the moist brisket a few weeks ago, it was a lot more marbled, looser and fattier than what we received in this order which was less marbled with leaner cuts. So it appears the staff may had gave the lean than the moist cut... Other than that, everything was good, but perhaps the staff could have additional guidance in brisket cut differences.

    Best BBQ in Jacksonville. Period…read more In my 6 week trip to Jax, I sought out some BBQ joints. Now, I'm no connoisseur, I am not from an elite BBQ region and I know that Jacksonville is not a BBQ go to area. But that said, I tried a few places in the region and 4 Rivers is the only spot I'd repeat visit. Service is friendly and prompt, and they were helpful with putting me on their best items. The brisket was moist, tender and flavorful. The ribs? To die for. Best I've had in Florida. The burnt ends are a combination of brisket and pork, which compliments one another nicely. I loved the beans! The corn was the only thing I found lacking, tasted too much like canned corn for my taste. Their nice seating area is big and welcoming and they have numerous sauces for you. We really enjoyed the blueberry bbq over by the fountain drinks. It went well with the ribs! Overall, must visit for Jax! Thanks guys! See you soon!

    so glad to have finally stopped by as this place is always packed! We had to wait 40 minutes as it…read morewas peak lunch rush but they have a to-go order section which should be much quicker. Simple interior with fun bbq/pig decor but the food is where they shine. My family ordered a variety of items: brisket, ribs, datil sausage, jalapeño sausage, captain's mike special, datil baked beans, datil slaw, coleslaw, mac&cheese, datil corn. Everyone was super impressed with their order - everything was very flavorful and tender. I enjoyed the spice that datil added to the dishes. I highly recommend the brisket and captain Mike's special. This will now be my go-to bbq spot when in town.

    Up date March 2006. Woodpecker's is still fantastic!…read moreNice BBQ joint atmosphere, great service, and supreme barbecue. Prices are good. My family, the six of us, most who live very close, my wife and I, visiting from CA, made our usual visit to Woodpecker's during an "around Florida" vacation. We visited many spots of my youth between Jax & St. Petersburg while dining at old favorites and several BBQ joints along the way. Without a doubt, Woodpecker's Backyard Barbecue was the best by far. The last time we were there, the turkey stole a show as it was the best turkey I have ever eaten in a barbecue restaurant. This time the brisket was the number one meat, equalling or bypassing any I have had anywhere, even in the many Texas joints we have tried. It was right up there with Franklin's and other top Texas offerings. All of their meats were extremely good. Their sides are very interesting as well as good tasting utilizing a lot of dátil pepper to flavor several and add a little bite of spice. My only wish is that it was closer than the 2547 miles away that it is. If you are anywhere near woodpecker's backyard, barbecue, go. Go. Go. You will not regret it.

    I met up with some friends at the bestBet Food Truck Rally for dinner and snacks. No matter how…read morewell I plan beforehand what trucks I want to eat at the plan always falls through. So I went to plan B: When at a food truck rally, all ways look for the trucks with the longest lines. There were a couple that were long but Manila seemed unusually long. A quick browsing of the menu made me realize why. Lumpia, Pork and Chicken Skewers, Pancit, no wonder. Not only did it sound good it smelled wonderful. We made our way to the back of the line. Wait wasn't painfully long as some folks ahead of us gave up and walked off. Patience is a virtue that will be rewarded. The guy taking orders at one point told us in line that they had to stop taking orders for 10 mins just so they could catch up on the orders already placed. Wow. By the time we got to the stand they had ran out of Adobo (pork stew) and the Lumpia entrees. Luckily we could still have lumpia as a side item which meant we couldn't get 7 but instead 3. Cool. I ordered the Liempo (grilled pork belly) Combo with garlic rice and lumpia. It took less than 5 mins before it got to my hands so they were cranking out some food. OMG everything was delish. The liempo was grilled to perfection. Usually anything grilled needs some kinda sauce over it. This needed none of that. If I could I would just order a platter of liempo and pop them in my mouth like popcorn, very tender and juicy. The lumpia was freshly out the fryer and was hot when bitten into, very good. The garlic was a nice compliment to the liempo. I was expecting it to be real garlicky but it was subtle and pleasant. I definitely enjoyed everything and will be returning to this truck in the future.

    Great food! We shall return! Ordered lumpia, pancit and chicken! Yum! Great and fast and friendly…read moreservice also!
