4 Rivers Smokehouse

Everything we had was delicious. Staff were great. Great selection of gluten-free items. Just missing a gluten-free dessert.

My food tonight was back to what I remember 4 Rivers being like in the beginning. Fried okra was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The baked beans were great. And the Six Shooter was amazing! Staff was quick, helpful, and courteous. And Haylee spent some extra time with us to answer some questions about gluten friendly bakery items. Will definitely be back again soon.

I stopped by for a quick late lunch. There wasn’t anyone there so the service was quick. You have to order at the bar and check out and take your food to the table; cafeteria style. The tables for the most part are communal which goes with the community bbq vibe they promote. Although the southern stacker meal looked good, the bar server couldn’t tell me if it was really cheesy or not. It comes with cheese grits that are square patties wrapped in tin foil so it wasn’t possible to see what they were like. In the end I ordered the pulled chicken platter with southern corn and collard greens. Personally, the pulled chicken had way too of their signature bbq sauce. I couldn’t even taste the chicken, just the sauce. It had an intense peppery taste and is a bit sweet for my liking. The chicken was a little dry, which is probably why it’s drowned in sauce. The corn was great. You can tell it is really fresh. The only thing that would have made it better if it were actually smoked. I think that it was just boiled. The collard greens were okay, not amazing but not bad either. I have to say it terms of texture it was spot on, not over or under done. A friend ordered the pulled pork and that was fantastic. I liked it better than the chicken because it was really juicy and plain - no sauce added. They are really allergen friendly. There were a lot of gluten free choices on the menu. I didn’t try but they even have dessert options. They even had vegan options both for bbq and dessert. For the amount of chicken I got, I did feel it was a touch over priced. If it were $5 cheaper, it would be a better value.
