    I had heard about 4 Rivers Smokehouse but never tried it but my friend had been here previously and liked it, so we went there. We both had St. Louis Ribs seasoned with 4R All Purpose Rub, smoked and finished on the grill with a Honey BBQ sauce. You can get either a 1/4.1/2, or full rack. Very good ribs. Choice of 2 sides; 4R BBQ Beans, Mac & Cheese, Texas Cornbread, Collard Greens, Southern Coleslaw, Baked Cheese Grits, Southern Green Beans, Fried Okra, Sweet Potato Casserole, Smokehouse Corn, Cheesy Potatoes, or French Fries $2.99 extra. Got the baked beans and corn, nice size portions . Definitely would come back .

    The smoked chicken was luke warm. Borderline cold. Had no flavor and the meat was stuck to the bones. You know it’s bad when the French fries are the best part of the meal. I expected more from a smoke house. Publix rotisserie chicken is way better quality and flavor. They texted me asking for a review. I told them exactly what I thought. They refunded my order and gave me a coupon for next time. This is outstanding service. Will give them another chance with a different food item.

    I'm somewhat of a BBQ enthusiast so take this with a grain of salt. They wouldn't win a competition that i judged but it was pretty good. I had the sausage, ribs and collard greens. All were pretty tasty and overall, I think I got my money's worth.
