This place is known for their barbeque but I do enjoy their sides a lot. I huess they have also started working to not exclude vegetarians by having a little "From the Farm " menu.

Rebecca Raia

You can't go wrong with a stacker. If you want to avoid crowds, the only option is going on a weekday for lunch . But the line is totally worth it.

David Acevedo

Go through the To-Go-Pickup line . It's faster and you will not starve to death beating the looooooooooong lines . Regardless of the wait, it is worth every second.

BRINK Magazine

Your BBQ dreams come true here... meat-lovers rejoice! Plenty of brisket , pork , sausage to come around, but don't forget the baked grits ! Seriously, worth it JUST for the grits . www.brinkmagonline.com

I had my first 4 Rivers experience here and I have been a changed woman ever since. I liked barbeque before, but I've never had anything like this. I've tried many things here and it is all top notch.

Kimberly Caldwell

I had the Southern Pulled Pork sandwich with beans and Mac, and it was awesome! Tried some sausage , and it was great. Ice cream from The Sweet Shop for dessert and now I'm stuffed. Just fantastic!

I heard the owners story of why he decided to open this place two weeks ago at a church event ...it was very inspirational. Thank you Mr. Rivers for sharing it. I'm a loyal customer and always will be.

Regina Robbins

I had the Cuban sandwich today. Huge sandwich , mustard that perfectly complemented the meats, yummy pickles , and divinely smoked meats . The sides were good as well .

David Binge

Best BBQ in Orlando . Keep an eye out. Seen 1 open in Jax and one opening in Tampa. Growing fast. Mac & cheese is the shiz. Haven't had a bad meal here yet.

Kim Burke

The six shooter was amazing!! Cheese grits , coleslaw , pulled pork , pickles , jalapeños topped with 4 rivers sauce!!! Yum

Grace Tao

????ribs , corn , Mac n cheese , bread pudding + all the desserts . ????baked beans-too sweet, chili-too salty, brisket-a not on the dry side, pulled chicken should not be chopped.

GourmetLive

Food blogger Julie of The Little Kitchen recommends 4Rivers Smokehouse. "My favorites are the signature Angus beef brisket , the prime rib , the mac and cheese , and cheesy biscuits ."

Chris Pollone

Ribs and pulled pork are awesome. Great sides including the Krispie Kreme bread pudding . Good BBQ sauces too.

Dave Mac

Wow. Thanks to these trips I stopped here when passing through Orlando. I tried the Smokehouse Sliders with brisket , burnt ends , pulled pork and BBQ beans and smoked jalapeños . Amazing.

Ian

Lines are insane, but it's totally worth it. Like somebody picked up a BBQ restaurant in TX and dropped it in FL, all the way down to the picnic tables .

Sara Zering

Tried the pulled pork w/ green beans and sweet potato . it was delicious! Tastes better than Bubbalou's, is about the same cost, and has a better variety of stuff I like! sampled brisket-its very good!

Robert Wilson

The sides are generous. A la carte might be the way to go. My 14 year old son gave the Texas Destroyer 5 Stars. A stacker and 2 sides..you are set!

Kevin Do

Smoked chicken is the only way to go... The white meat is so soft and leaves a perfect smoky sizzle on your taste buds. Add some 4 Rivers hot barbecue sauce and life will have been completed.

Ian C. Mathews

Best BBQ in Florida and one of the best I've EVER HAD... Totally blindsided by the concoct in Central Florida but it kicks other BBQ ass

Susan Clary

Try the smoked wings . The cheese grits are to-die-for and, if my stomach could afford it, I wouls try the cream cheese infused, bacon wrapped jalapenas. Don't like long lines ? Go at 3 pm...

Brenda

Gotta try this spot! Great food!! Hopefully they figure out the best way to make the long line flow a little easier, but if you can get past that, you're really enjoy this spot!

Lizette Rivera

New location has improved outside area and A/C sitting area. Parking also much better. Long line around noon time still happening. The food still great! My new avorite; the sweets section!

Susanna Perkins

First time at the new, bigger location, but the line is just as long! That's because it's the BEST BBQ around, and the desserts are incredible.

Vilmaris Montijo

Cuban sandwich , bbq baked bean , Mac & cheese , salad and the banana pudding is to die for!! ????

Billy Mendez

4 Rivers never disappoints! Try the Longhorn or Destroyer if you'd like to sample the best brisket in town .

Felix Banuchi

The pulled pork is very good, their brisket can be a little salty and the ribs are good, but sometimes overcooked. Overall this is still the best BBQ in Orlando

Brycen Edwards

The corn rocks my world. They also have some of the best Brisket and Baked beans around. You can not go wrong with anything here. Their soda selection is just amazing.

William Conway

Best BBQ in Orlando . Always a line - better if call in your to go order so you can use a separate window with no line . Closed on Sunday.

Eileen Holliday

Everything I tried at 4 Rivers was amazing. Highly recommend the pulled pork quesadilla , Mac n cheese and bread pudding . #AmazingFood

Kevin Wright

Don't leave without having the banana pudding - so good. Top three BBQ that I have ever experienced (come to Buffalo)!!!

Christina Kirby

Make sure to call your order in ahead of time if you show up close to closing time you'll be in line forever!! :) but it's definitely worth the wait ;)

Kirk Swan

The brisket is so good. Not sure how they do it, is the best I have had and I have spent time in Texas.

Jordan Marshall

Pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches go great with their magical mac and cheese and fried pickles

William Zavala

Trick is to take a menu home with you, call your order in as you drive there, pick it up at take out window and grab a seat. No more lines :)

Shannon

They only make a limited amount of tasty treats each day- get there earlier rather than later if you want to try one!

Lorenza McCants

I had the burnt ends and it was amazing! I can tell that will be a favorite of mine.

Mark

Everything is great but the corn is like crack... Taste it once and you must get your fix each and every time

Steve Frick

Yes, yes, yes..... Despite the line they get you through quick.

Bruce Nguyen

Limited time Brisket Burger is amazing!

Matt Maier

Gets really crowded at lunch time - and for a good reason! The line will go out the door and into the parking lot but its worth the wait!

Bloomingdale's

It’s far from fancy – no plates, even. But the best BBQ in Orlando – maybe even the state – happens here. Whatever they’ve been smoking – could be pork , turkey or jalapeños –we want it.

Paul Santos

Have the brisket or tge Texas Destroyer stacker with some BBQ beans and sweet potato casserole . Leave room for dessert ... The banana pudding . Well worth the wait.

Brent Sapp

This is the best BBQ on the planet. Best to call your order in before you come - it's that popular! You'll be tempted to drink the sauce through a straw but I recommend using it on the amazing BBQ :) Read more

Rezza Khan

Love this location well manage and food is on point especially the brisket ..

Sunshine Woodyard

Try the Peanut Butter Fluff - Delicious with a crunchy peanut butter Fluff over an Oreo crust with Reese's and Heath bar topping

Rayna Samples

Loved all the food. First time having fried pickles . Great addition to the meal.

Lauren B

This is as close as ur going to get for texas style brisket ...pleasantly surprised. Go during the week before 5pm.

Jessi W

Come for the amazing BBQ . Stay for the awesome desserts ! The cakes are amazing and are so worth the price!

Joe St. Clair

Custom order chicken & rib combo is the best!!!
