Good food PERFECT 10 STARS SERVICE. Employee's had smiles on their faces like they loved their job and had clean uniforms and the building was so clean it looked like it was built yesterday. They didn't have the pudding I wanted. Manager took care of it for me. They've earned my money and I will be back with friends.

We ordered curbside. You check in when you get there and they bring our fresh, delicious, hot food. If you manage to make it home without digging in, don't worry! Your food is still fresh! Great flavor, great price!

This was our first time there. We stood at the counter for a few minutes trying to decide what we wanted, and they did not try to rush us. We asked questions and they were so helpful. They offered samples and explained everything. We placed our order and took it to our table. We had a 12 chicken, smoked sausage, pulled pork, and their version of burnt ends. Sides were fried okra, collards, sweet potato souffle, and green beans. Desserts were hello Dolly and bayou. They even have a sink by the door so you can wash your BBQ covered hands and face. We will ABSOLUTELY be back. As for BBQ sauce, they don't bury it. They have 2 kinds, hot and not hot, but you don't like the smoke flavor... Don't go to a smokehouse!!! I always say, if you have to cover it in sauce you must have something to hide, and they don't have anything to hide. Well done 4 Rivers, well done.

We finally were able to get in without waiting in line. Lots of places to park. The food was delicious. Fresh, with lots of flavor. Of course the pork was yummy. The fries were fantastic, with a perfect crisp and seasoned. The mac and cheese was cheesy and delicious not out of a can. My husband said the beans were really good with their own flavor and some meat in them. The barbecue sauces were different but good with their own flavor. The decor was cute. It was very clean. Plenty of space. Temperature was comfortable without a jacket. The staff was nice, attentive, patient, and helpful. We will definitely be back. I look forward to trying the melt that my sister in law got.
