Visiting family in Orlando for the weekend. Upon arrival we decided to head out to Four Rivers BBQ where we had an amazing lunch. All the food was perfectly seasoned and cooked and it was served hot. I had the brisket, pulled pork, cornbread and coleslaw. Other members of my party had the brisket sandwiches with same sides. While the brisket itself is very delicious and juicy, is plainly served between two buns but nothing else to it; it is missing a cohesive element. I also tried the mac and cheese and the BBQ beans, both very tasty.The restaurant itself is clean and well kept and presented. The customer service was very good as well for being a fast-food establishment. I will definitely return to try other menu items!

4 Rivers is a staple of Central Florida. This location in particular has a pretty ample amount of seating inside and also seating outside. I haven't been in about a year and was sad to see the bacon wrapped jalapeños were only seasonal now :( and no sweet potato casserole. They were my favorite sides! Also, no more bake shop at this location, but there are still some sweets at the checkout counter.I ordered the street tacos with a side of collard greens. Both great! The tacos especially have the perfect amount of meat to toppings. The collard greens were a bit sparse on the pork pieces, but still had a good flavor.

Well, I have reviewed 4 Rivers before. The problem with big chains, is reviewing them so many times. So lets make this one short and on point. Clean, clean toilet.Line moves fast.Food comes up and its 4 Rivers style for sure. Exactly what you have come accustomed to with 4 Rivers brand. Try and bacon wrapped Jalapeños!

This is your typical chain BBQ place... However service was good, food was good and temperature was as it should be. Spareribs and collards

I stopped here one day for lunch and the smell of this restaurant is amazing. I would love to have just sat in there and worked on some homework. They have a drive-through, but I went inside. There's a big line at lunch, but they have menus to look at as well as the big menu board hanging up. I got the pulled pork and brisket with french fries and mac & cheese. Everything was so good and seasoned perfectly. I also enjoyed their barbecue sauce. The prices are a little high for a counter service restaurant, but the food quality is good.

4 Rivers continues to hold the spot for my favorite BBQ establishment in Orlando. The meats and especially the wide variety of side options are unbeatable, in my opinion. This is my 2nd location that I've visited and from what I can tell, they are consistent across the board. The staff was super friendly, helpful & patient as we were waiting in line ordering (it was my mom & her boyfriend's first time, so it took them a little to make decisions on what to order). The line moves quickly and the staff works very efficiently to ensure your order comes out with little to no waiting.The lean brisket is always flavorful and moist, the turkey was great as well and the sides were delicious (best baked beans I've ever had at a BBQ spot). Fries didn't need any additional salt as they were perfectly salted to begin with. Their homemade BBQ sauces are very tasty (sweet option is my fave). All prices are reasonable and they have a massive selection of desserts to choose from if you still have room left by the end of your meal. If you're a BBQ fan and haven't checked out 4 Rivers yet, what are you waiting for!?

Ordered ribs with beans and green beans the ribs have a little bit of smoked to them, but they look like they were baked. The beans were really sweet the green beans all they did is open a can when they say barbecue you can't include this place. Sorry to say.

The smokes on at 4 Rivers Smokehouse! I have a smoker at home and love to cook up some great barbecue I am here in Orlando on a business trip, but when you come to Florida, you probably don't think of barbecue first. I was excited to see a Smokehouse right down the street from my hotel and wanted to give it a try. Especially after hearing about it from others and seeing the Yelp reviews. I decided to pick up some food to take back to my room after a long day of work. This place is kind of tucked away off of University Boulevard in the middle of several fast food places so it doesn't really stand out. While they do have a drive-through, I wanted to go in and check the place out on the inside to get the full experience. 4 Rivers Smokehouse is super clean and super nice. They have a great atmosphere inside and an awesome patio on the outside as well. As soon as I walked in, it reminded me a little bit of some of the barbecue places I used to go to in Texas.The staff was super friendly and very patient as I looked over the menu to place my order.. I went with their 2X2 special which is where you get to pick two different meats and two different classic sides. I decided on the burnt ends and Texas sausage for my meats and then the barbecue beans and macaroni and cheese for my sides. When I got back to my room, I could not wait to dive in...it all smelled so good! When I opened everything up, I was a bit disappointed at first because it did not appear to be burnt ends with my sausage. It looked more like pulled meat instead of what I am used to seeing when ordering burnt ends. Either way, the food was absolutely delicious. This is some seriously great barbecue. Besides not getting burnt ends, and the barbecue beans being way too sweet for me the food was great. Good thing I got their hot barbecue sauce and it kicked them beans up just right. The macaroni and cheese was perfect and super creamy and super cheesy and just what I wanted. The Texas sausage was incredible!All in all, this is a great place to get some really good smokehouse barbecue! I would highly recommend 4 Rivers Smokehouse!

We met a UCF student here at lunch in December The line was really long as it was typical lunch hour but the service went really fast. I don't think we'll be back. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was good, but there was a lot of fat. I would've liked to seen it trimmed better. My husband experienced the same thing with his brisket. The coleslaw was good. But it's not the same as I remember it being when four Rivers first opened.

I finally got to try this place after living near it for 3 years and always picking up DoorDash orders lolI was not disappointed! I got the vegan burnt ends with pickles and coleslaw, fries and the mustard bbq sauce. I sadly didn't get a picture of my food because I'm always so eager to taste it but will definitely grab some snaps next time since I'll be coming here more often! The service can be a little slow but they're sweet! The ambiance is definitely like a BIG family bbq or block party when they get busy. It's actually kinda nice and feels like you could just go chill with random strangers at their table (ask before hand, they might not feel the same way lol) Basically this place is worth a try, you got nothing to lose! (New Year's resolution: take pictures BEFORE eating the food like David Hasselhoff eating a whopper lol)
