    Great location with plenty of parking. The restaurant was clean. It has a spacious outdoor and indoor dining area. It has a hand washing station in the indoor dining area as well as a to-go section filled with containers and bags so you can pack up any leftovers. The food wasn’t hot at all which is not something I liked, but I ate it anyway and it was delicious. I got the 2x2 meal which has 2 meats of your choice and 2 sides. I chose burnt ends and brisket as my meats and bbq beans and coleslaw for my sides. I liked how every table has a paper towel rack along with BBQ sauces, this way you didn’t have to get up to get any items.

    One of my fav places for brisket. It's always juicy and tasty and I love their sauces (signature and hot). Mac and cheese could be improved in maybe adding smoke or some crispiness to it, I do like their jalapeno cornbread ❤️

    Very sad underwhelming experience...very Chewy chicken, mashed mystery meat disguised & marketed as burnt ends..Mac n cheese is boxed..definitely not from scratch Mac & cheese, KFC has better coleslaw, Sweet Pot casserole is sad looking & tasting (literally taste like depression, anxiety, and sour stomach)....SAD But the baked beans& cornbread was the best part of our meal. This was our very 1st experience and we will never be back & will warn others

    Great barbeque, but boy oh boy, is it ever salty!This wouldn't be a good choice for anyone concerned about sodium intake, but barbeque lovers might enjoy the fare. We tried the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. The brisket sandwich was real sliced lean brisket (the fattier variety was also available), not the chopped product. It was excellent. The pulled pork was great too, piled high on the bun. There were sauces available but using them would only be pouring a salty solution on the highly salted meat. I have to say everything we tried was very good, but imagine that it could have been better if the amount of salt could be cut back by half or more. We liked that the restaurant was spotlessly clean. I'll pass along a tip.... every time we have eaten here, we have received sandwiches sliced down the middle. They come that way by default for whatever reason. Just ask that they not be sliced if you prefer one whole sandwich.

    One of the best BBQ I’ve ever had and definitely the best service. Everyone there is so nice and attentive. Looks like they like what they do. The food is 100/10. Even their sauces are excellent. Must love the tabasco peppers if you like it spicy. You dont see it everywhere. Highly recommend it.

    I would go back just for the bread pudding! I got the burnt ends platter with fried okra, bread pudding, and macaroni and cheese. The burnt ends were cold and dry. The fried okra was cold and overcooked. The macaroni and cheese must come from a bucket, there was no thought put into it. The bread pudding however was the best part of my meal, it was warm and delightful without being cloyingly sweet.

    The food here is always delicious. We make the 45 minute drive from Miami just to come to 4Rivers to have a Fantastic meal. We even used 4Rivers to cater our wedding, that's how much we love their food. Service is always very friendly and welcoming, staff is amazing here.

    Always drive past this place but decided to give it a try the other day! Baked beans were so delish, and the pulled chicken as well! The brisket cut was moist and juicy. Mac n cheese was a very creamy. I personally like it a bit more cheezy but it was still delish and complimented the rest of the picks. My belly was satisfied and full!

    Always great food, friendly service, and relaxing atmosphere. Portions are very generous and scrumptious! Collards are spot on, Mac and cheese is creamy cheesy, and pulled pork will keep us coming back. Love the section of children's books to read!

    This is a great, quick dine in restaurant. Ordered a full rack of St. Louis ribs…Great smoke flavor. The meat practically fell off the bone. The original house BBQ sauce had a sweet, tangy taste that was super yummy on the ribs and to even dip their yummy fries in. The sweet potato casserole was very good—cinnamon flavor was perfect. The portion sizes a good, shareable amount for two. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there we practically no desserts available to choose from. I’m guessing they are so good that they sell out;). 😂

    Great location and beautiful design and ambiance. Food was good, but not the large portions you would expect from a BBQ restaurant. My pulled pork sandwich (tender and tasty) was small and had a little too much fat on it for my taste. The side of Mac and cheese was just okay and placed in a bowl not much bigger than a Dixie cup. Good amount of fries were given and tasted pretty good. December 2023 visit. See 2nd photo. Presentation counts!

    Another excellent meal at what I consider one of the best BBQ spots in the country! Andy was an excellent host and I always enjoy the food here. Thank you for bringing back the Krispy Kreme bread pudding!

    Fast food BBQ? Dry brisket and greasy burnt-ends, with pork? Is this a FL BBQ thing? I frequent FL and TX from CA, and when I do, hunt down the BBQ spots. This place was inexpensive but low to medium quality.

    4 Rivers is by far my favorite QSR BBQ joint. Had been to Orlando, loved it. Stumbled upon Coral Springs, loved it. Staff were all extremely friendly, Jared took care of us, he is a wonderful asset to this team. He was extremely informative about the brand, every question I asked he had an answer. The food speaks for itself, 10/10! Great job Coral Springs teams!

    Tried 4 Rivers for the second time tonight. The first time I was disappointed in the pulled pork, it was dry and cold. Today we tried the turkey, pulled chicken and the ribs. They were all excellent. We also had sides of baked beans, coleslaw, fries, and cornbread. All the sides were nice portions and very good. The counter staff were all friendly and helpful. Also the restaurant was clean and well kept. Will try again in the future. :)

    Had high hopes until I walked into commercial setting. Real bbq you can smell before you see it. This was not the case here.. It fell so flat. Ribs were beef jerky, over cooked as seen from photos. They had shredded burnt end that looked and tasted the went thru a food processor very bland no smoke. There brisket was chewy, over all very bad .. The one bright spot was the baked beans and super clean place. Just wished they spend more on actual great smoky bbq. Quantity over quality is very evident here. 65 dollars flushed in toilet for bad bbq.. will not be back.. Had high hopes but left with a kick in nuts.

    I have to take the time to acknowledge the excellent experience we had here today. This was my first time visiting 4 rivers. Upon sitting down, one of the items in our order took longer than expected to come out. I must give a special shoutout to Guy and Conner who went ABOVE and beyond to make this right, and ensure that the rest of our meal/visit here was perfect. The food was delicious, but truly the dedication to superior customer service is what makes this establishment stand out. We will definitely be back ASAP! Do not hesitate to pay a visit to this Coral Springs location if you are interested in great BBQ and even better service and friendless.

    The person that took my order was fantastic. Very involved and cheerful. The atmosphere was great too. I ordered their brisket and it was good. The brisket quantity didn’t meet my expectations. I wish they include the weight somewhere on the large menu banner.

    What I asked for: Ordered by phone for pickup at 7:50 pm. That allowed about 30 - 40 minutes to cut 1 lb of brisket & pack 3 sides (4 if you count the cornbread). What I got: Waited an additional 20 mins to be served and checked out. I was better off ordering when I walked in! I would have gotten the slices and been out before I received my call-in order! But, I understand - ish happens. The next issue though, no excuse. I got SHREDS of brisket. Like the hard unpleasant shavings! Almost looked like pulled pork (brisket). Only two whole "moist" slices included. Very disappointing because I wanted to make a sandwich out of it. I called customer service right away. Hold time was almost an hour and I assume it timed out because it went to voicemail. Left a voicemail with name, number, complaint, and asked for a call back. I'm still waiting for that call. Pictures speak louder than words in this case. I would love a resolution because $37 for this quality is surely not acceptable.

    An absolute mouthful of flavor upon every bite! If you like spicy, the Texas Destroyer is definitely worth a try!

    Such an awesome place!!!! The meat is SO YUMMY!!! 🤤 the burnt ends and baked beans are amazing!!! My husband got the cowboy platter and tried burnt ends, brisket, and pulled pork! Baked beans and Mac and cheese as sides which were both good! The baked beans are outta this world! Everything was good but the burnt ends were raved about!! Oh we also tried the jalapeño poppers that were smoked and they were so good!!!! I got the messy pig sandwich and it was very yummy! I little spicy which is delicious and I got French fries which were crispy and amazing for what they are :)

    The brisket was awesome. They mix it with wet and dry cuts, I had a taste of both before I ordered. I went in wanting the pulled pork and ended up with the brisket, but my buddy got the pulled pork and he said it was on point. Everyone introduced themselves and it was a nice experience. Thank you, see you soon 😊

  • 4/5 Kira M. 7 months ago on Google
    Probably the best brisket I've ever had. It is reliably the way I like it because you get to choose which part you want...moist or lean. Moist all the way for me and it's absolutely delicious. I had the platter and while the sides are good, the brisket was definitely the star of the meal. I visited for the first time earlier this week and I'm back for the second time and the brisket did not disappoint either time. I highly recommend this place.

    Awesome employees! All of the staff at Four Rivers Smokehouse were cheerful, energetic, and helpful. From the employees behind the counter, to those helping customers in the restaurant, everyone went out of their way to ensure we had an outstanding experience. I'd like to single out Andrew, who was so personable and engaging. He helped us with the menu and loyalty program, showed a genuine passion for the restaurant, and was excited about what he was serving. Additionally, the restaurant and bathrooms were well maintained, clean and organized. My wife and I shared the Burnt Ends Melt sandwich, pulled chicken taco, and pulled pork taco. We ordered the Messy Hog to go. All were loaded with meat and were very flavorful. In particular, my wife and I agreed that the Burnt Ends Melt was on another level -- so delicious.

    Very convenient BBQ place. Their spice rub was saintly. Only gave 4 stars because alot of the burnt ends were dried out. However the loaded baked potatoes was a thing of beauty!!! So sad they are only offering it for a limited time. 😢

    Absolutely delicious. Great food and atmosphere. The staff made great suggestions. I had the key lime bar for desert and I recommend it.

    As a Coral Springs resident we have Been coming here since they opened. Always consistent BBQ. I gave the food a 2 star because I got the 2x2 and received 2 pieces of brisket and 6 slices of sausage. My wife and daughters pulled pork sandwiches were just as light. The food portions have decreased quite a bit recently while the price has gone up…..there are many options for BBQ and I’ll maybe give it one more try. I mentioned to the cashier that this was the smallest portion I have ever received and all I got was a sorry. With the cost of food these days this is becoming a terrible “Value”. Again, Coral Springs has a ton of food options Please get it together!

    I came here for the first and last time last week. Got the tacos because it was Tuesday. The meat was more than half chunks of fat. Fat has lots of flavor but in such a large quantity and not cooked to a crispy state it was mushy and gave me displeasure due to the texture. I threw out my leftovers. The Mac and cheese was tasty!
