4 Rivers Smokehouse opened its third location in Longwood, right off the I-4 exit to State Road 434. Serving Florida’s best BBQ, 4 Rivers Longwood serves locals daily from Wekiwa Springs, Casselberry, Winter Springs, and Lake Mary. It’s also located within a 3-mile drive of the Altamonte Mall.
Visit us at 1869 West State Road 434, Longwood, FL 32750.
The Longwood location is home to the original Sweet Shop with baked goods, homestyle southern desserts, and comfort foods. It’s still the same family-owned business specializing in masterfully prepared slow-smoked barbecue, homestyle comfort food sides, and treats.
4 Rivers is so popular in this area but I've really never enjoyed it. Gave it another go recently and it's still lacking. The pulled pork was good but fully cold, the cheesy potatoes were bland, the only flavor in baked beans was super sweet, and there was no meat in them. We really like the grits and bread pudding though. Overall I think there are much better barbecue options to be found.

Omg, their fried chicken is the best I ever had! Props to whoever is in charge of the seasoning. Out of all the fried chicken chains, this place does not even compare with the rest. Mac and cheese is out of this world. Friendly staff too!

Dang, 4 Rivers fell off hard. It's too bad because this used to be the spot to go. The food was cold and bland. There were several spots in the ceiling leaking. Moved tables and still got dripped on. The place was really sad and empty at dinner time on the weekend. Not coming back anytime soon.

We went on a friday evening around 4pm
It was quiet and fast but, the food was subpar. My husband and I got the burnt ends and a few other things. They weren't good. They were cold. Pulled chicken was cold, the fries were stale, under seasoned and old. The salt shaker on the table was wet and unusable.
Sad to say this because we had high expectations.
The mac and cheese was the only thing that was warm.

I don’t know what is happened to this location, but the food is so subpar, since I first started coming here. My partner and I enjoy a nice moist brisket and it seems like the last couple of visits here we never get what we are requesting. We even have to ask for the brisket not to be trimmed so to ensure a moist brisket and routinely, we don’t get it. Today was the last straw, I asked for my moist brisket and when it showed up at the cash register, I could tell it wasn’t even close to what I requested. I then told a person at the register that I was not satisfied. Could you please redo it, my partner accepted her brisket, even though it wasn’t moist. when I received my redo it was nothing but fat I took it and I will show you the pictures of what I received. It was like the guy who originally cut my meat was upset and wanted to punish me for redoing the order. I don’t have this problem at the Orange Avenue store. I don’t have this problem at the Winter Park store. In fact the Orange Avenue store is by far the best. I should’ve drove the extra 20 miles to go there instead of looking at this ridiculous order and wasting my money here.
