    I ordered delivery and I wasn't disappointed at all. I ordered the 2x2 with lean brisket and smoked sausage, macaroni and cheese and baked beans. Everything was amazing. Tender brisket and the signature bbq sauce is legit. The cornbread has a little kick from the jalapeños which is so yummy.

    Vegan burnt ends were delicious as always!! I live they tell you which sides have meat. First time my hubby came here with me, he loved everything but preffered the vegan ends instead of the normal ones. He's a meat eater!! Love they have so many option. Get the bread pudding!!! Little chunks of bananas. Great dessert. ☺️

    The best things all came from bakery, the bayou bar, sweet potato casserole, and bread pudding were amazing. I'd come back and order a pulled chicken sandwich with collards or beans and 4 different desserts. You walk thru an order line and pay at the end. Then find a table, beverage bar and sauces are in the back with a very convenient sink to wash your hands afterwards.

    Fantastic BBQ! I visited Florida from Ontario Canada and stopped in here for a bite and left fully satisfied I had the 1/4 ribs with pulled pork quesadilla, baked beans, fries, jalapeño poppers and washed it down with a northern treat - Birch Beer ❤️🇨🇦 Definitely going to come back here every time I come down this way. If my kids are reading this in the future, daddy loves you. ❤️

    Missed another chance for photo before eating. The beef fell apart. It was never tender.the okra was like eating sea salt. The manager will correct that issue. Staff was friendly like they wanted to be at work. Good BBQ I shall return to explore other menu items. We back after lunch crowded. A hidden gem old school folks up in here enjoying this good food

    I finish a rib before I could place my food on a plate. So good and the sweet & tangy sauce wasn’t needed to get started. The green beans were seasoned just right. The baked beans weren’t dry. Everything was good and it hit the spot. Oh I had a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip cookie. I’m sure delicious too full to eat after the feast.

    5/5 amazing establishment. Had overwhelming selection of meats and custom combinations in which you’d like them with choice of sides. Also tons of other choices. I personally had the “Mac Attack” which was only $10 for a HUGE serving of an interesting mixture of mac and cheese, chicken tenders, French fries, and different sauces. (AMAZING!!). Also employees seemed genuinely happy to be there and glad to help us through the menu. The service was fast and there’s a huge indoor and outdoor selection of seating, all with good vibes.

    DH comes here for the Cheerwine and I agree because of the smoked jalapeños. I always find something I like, though, and he enjoys his meal. The bread pudding is delicious.

    Wow wow WOW! I consider myself a BBQ fanatic, and this place really impressed me! Their chicken, including the white meat (which is often dry me at places) was beyond tender and taste great! Sides were so good and the corn stuff is a MUST! My family got the vegan burnt ends and brisket and raved! We are very much excited to return!

    The beef, chicken, macaroni and cheese, greens, green beans, barbecue baked beans, and cornbread, as well as the traditional and spicy barbecue sauce. We’re all catered for the event. This brand is pretty consistent. However, the barbecue smoke was a little lighter than I have had in Orlando. But I was happy about that.

    This was our first stop in Jacksonville and it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly, the place was very clean and the food was delicious. We got a pulled chicken platter with grits, green beans and Mac and Cheese and all of it was delicious. There wasn’t anything we didn’t like. One of the girls even came over and let my daughter pick out toys from a toy box before we left. Best service and food we’ve had since making our road trip down south!

    This is actually a 4 1/2 ⭐ review as a very small but important item needs addressing. First a very large and easy to enter, if you are heading East on Baymeadows but a bit of a challenge if you are heading West as you need to U turn after passing 4 Rivers. Parking is excellent as well as entry. This is not a table order place but an easy to read menu board is very helpful. As you order you may get to watch them prepare the trays which is a pleasant experience. Bill likes his Brisket moist with the Fat still on and by placing his order with the cutter he got just what we both wanted. The combination of the Cutter and the out of this world moist Brisket is a reason that they will see us again so 5 ⭐ and then some. We ordered the 2+2 of Brisket and Burnt Ends... this is where they lose a ⭐. The Burnt Ends should be crispy but these were sooo soggy... not to Bill's liking. The two sides of Sweet Potato Casserole and Green beans were outstanding and enough for two a sure 5 ⭐ accross the board. You get to add you own sauce which is great as neither of us are big on drowning the meat in BQ sauce HOWEVER we tried three in small amounts and all were very good. This is a nice clean and well staffed place that is good for friends and family be they young or more senior. Oh looking for the restroom??? It's outside in the outside seating area... strange.

    Ribs were chewy, mac n cheese was very bland. Fried okra was great. Corn bread was nothing special. Would not come back.

    I ordered the two-meat combo with two sides, with Brisket, Sausage, Mac n' Cheese and Baked Beans. The brisket was the best tasting from the group, which had a pretty good balance of flavor from marbling and lean meat. I thought the sausage was just eh', it just lacked a distinct flavor, not bad and not excellent. Mac n' cheese was very basic, tasted good (really hard to mess up 😅), although nothing special about it. Baked beans were pretty sweet, would have tasted better with a little more smoked flavor and less sugar. Their chocate chip cookies were huge and tasted great. Would I come back here again? Sure, probably for their brisket, but I might try out some other menu items.

    Carol has a very pleasant personality and did everything to make our dinner great. The manager Jason was very attentive to our needs. We came to this restaurant last year after an event at the Harley Davidson dealer and we loved the food. This year there was no question where we were eating. 4 Rivers is a WINNER!! Great Food and service. 10 out of 10.

    Excellent, moist brisket. Delicious cornbread. Will skip the greens and cupcake next time. Didn't love. Wish they had more individual tables, as I'm not a fan of communal tables. Will do more take out than dine in, but I'll be back for the brisket.

    Placed an order online and had heard their poppers were good. They were not. Jalapeno poppers were burnt and shriveled. The hot wings were undercooked. The brisket was good but I don't know why the burnt ends had sauce on them. All in all not worth my money at all.

    Between the two 4 Rivers Smokehouse in Jacksonville, I prefer the Baymeadow location. The ribs, chicken, and sausages are moist and tender. The signature and hot sauses are must try when you are there. The spiciness and taste of vinegar has the right ratio. The environment could be cleaner. Overall, it is a high 3 to 4 rating with all things considered. Would recommend thier food anytime.

  • 3/5 Dianne M. 8 months ago on Google
    Service good, food just ok when compared ti previous visit. Brisket not up to the usual tender status this day. Need to work on presentation of food. Did not look fresh and appealing for a busy Friday night. Does not compare with the Daytona location where the food was awesome.

    Delicious BBQ all around. It was a bit oilier than I expected for BBQ, but was still packed with flavor. They even have a bakery in the back and I was able to indulge in the chocolate chip cookie. So delicious!

    I stood in line to order my food, but the line was so long I went to their site ordered and paid for my food and then got out of line. As soon as I got out the line I got an email that said they were having an issue with their site and my order wasn’t placed. I went to the pick up line and explained my situation. She allowed me to order there. Wings were great!

    We liked this enough, we ate there twice. The brisket was really moist and tender. You did not need a knife to cut it. The pulled pork was good, but not the top of my list out of my travels. I would get just the brisket if I went back a 3rd time. The Mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy. The baked beans were delicious. Whoever makes those are on top of it. The street corn was surprisingly good! I got that on the off chance I'd like it and I was right. The cornbread was nice and gritty, but sweet. They know how to do BBQ right and that's coming from someone who loves TN BBQ. Also, they have really good BBQ sauce. I love the mustard sauce while my husband loves the house BBQ. Good flavor for both!

    The brisket was especially delicious, juicy and tender. Other chains brisket is usually dry, but not here. The fried okra was on the salty side but okay. If you are ordering delivery i would recommend staying away from the fried side items. I had no problems microwaving the meat and baked beans to get it hot again. For a first time experience and delivery at that, 10 out of 10 would recommend, next time I'd go eat at the establishment.

    Very impressive. The dining area was very clean and well organized. The bathrooms also were very clean. Excellent food. I am on a low sodium diet so I always request my french fries with no salt. They are always happy to accommodate me. Thank you for a great experience.
