Best WLM Reviews
I felt welcomed when I walked into the restaurant. Even Anthony, the Kitchen Manager, took time to greet me and introduce me to the Burnt Ends Brisket and Pork sandwich. It tasted great, and I used to live in Texas where brisket is king! The restaurant was clean and ready for the evening crowd. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. I will definitely return and bring my family!
I recently dined at 4 Rivers Smokehouse with my flight crew based on a recommendation from our hotel concierge. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, one of my crewmates chose the brisket sandwich and another opted for a pulled chicken sandwich. We all found the food delicious; however, we noted that it would’ve tasted better had it been hotter. When the manager checked in on our experience, we mentioned this issue, and he responded with exceptional hospitality, promptly addressing our concerns. As a gesture of goodwill, we were surprised with a complimentary dessert. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, If I ever have another layover in Jacksonville, I will definitely come back. The food and service made for a memorable experience.
We love the Orlando location and make the 50 minute drive to University Blvd to eat there frequently. We were coming home from a trip and on 295 and saw there was a 4Rivers and decided to stop. It was 7:10 on a Saturday night- they close at 8:00- we were not sure if they were going to be in “shut down” mode.
THEY WERE NOT!! Full on greetings, courtesy, and more food coming out than most other BBQ places serve when they are busy!
I ordered the 2 meet plate- lean brisket and smoke turkey. Sides of greens and sweet potatoes. Hubs ordered a Cuban sandwich, and two sides of beans & cole slaw.
My meat plate was amazing! The brisket was so lean, I literally had an almond sized piece of fat, and that was it. So tender it just fell apart. I used some of the signature sauce on it, man, that was a treat to my mouth. After that the smoked turkey was consumed, and it was very good, but not nearly as good as that brisket!!! (Wonder if they would have traded me the turkey for more brisket?) the greens were really good with nice chunks of meat. The sweet potatoes were very sweet, too sweet for my liking but I have been avoiding sugar so it may just be me.
Hubs Cuban sandwich was really large! He did not think it was pressed and I didn’t see any press marks, but the cheese was melted. He said it was good, but could have used a bit more meat for amount of bread. Both of his sides were good. We got a bread pudding to split for dessert. We both agreed that the bread pudding was a little sweet, but it was good.
We both love 4Rivers- the mission, the founders story, the wholesome atmosphere, all of it. Definitely will be back- at least to the Orlando location- soon!
4 Rivers is some of the best BBQ in town. The pulled pork and burnt ends are our favorites. The place is clean and the staff is helpful. Prices are fair. They even have a bakery inside. They are closed on Sunday.
Yes.... Finally, a BBQ place that just does it right! First off, the brisket was just done to perfection! I got the flat a real testament to how good it is cooked. Perfection just cooked enough to make the meet still have some texture, but still have enough pull to give the meet consistency and flavor. Finally, it was not cooked to the point where the meat was dry! Next, there were the burnt ends!! Some places get these all wrong. Here they were surprisingly good, crunch on the outside and tender inside! Just heavenly taste every bite! Finally, they pulled pork. Yes, it was outstanding! The tables have an assortment of BBQ sauce, but this BBQ does not need it at all! Left completely satisfied and looking to return for more during my stay!
NASTY AND DRY
Absolutely horrible experience. $80 for a gang of TRASH.. chopped to $h!t brisket, all the meats dryer than a las Vegas summer, and I know, I used to live there. I'm angry. I wasted my time twice. Once to earn the money and once to spend it on food I'll feed the dog outside. Not never again in life will I ever spend another dime here.. sell me KFC Mac n cheese like it was your own... it's disgusting at their establishment. It's doubly disgusting to eat when you think you're getting quality food, and for the price, yall are insane!
ALL THE RAGRETS .... IYKYK
The service and atmosphere was great! I definitely love the rustic feel of this establishment! The food was great! But I wish there was a baked potato option. Other than that it’s great.!
This restaurant is really good. The problem is the portions size. In my opinion, they are not worth what you pay for. I got the 2x2. Brisket and the smoked turkey. I was extremely disappointed in the amount of meat. In fact, they actually weigh the meat and remove it if there is any extra on the tray. I think this place would be a huge success if they would up their portion size. Right now, it's not worth your money. This tray with a drink is almost $30 dollars.
