Came over with my bf to try some bbq, and we enjoyed a nice selection, despite their sold out items not being available. The service, the quality of the food were worth the Friday date nite here. Hope to be back!

Firstly, my wife took me there today for my birthday which was the biggest mistake ever!!
Secondly, I ordered the 2 meat platter and she got the 1 meat platter. Her brisket was super undercooked with so much fat she threw that away. Her yams was so sweet, she said it tasted like someone nodding off with a bag of sugar in their hand!!
Thirdly, my burn tips had hardly any meat just straight burned crust. The turkey was ok but I only got two little microscopic pieces. I'm not sure what they were weighing but the scale is obviously broken!! The collard greens had to be from a can with no love applied. Also the baken bean probably will give me diabetes from being so sweet!
Fourthly, we go to South Carolina BBQ cook-off so we know what real BBQ is supposed to look and taste like and this place is shameful!! The closed thing to BBQ in Coral springs is FatBoyz BBQ on sample road it makes this place taste like McDonalds.
Lastly, I'm extremely disturbed I had to pay $40 + dollars for this garbage. It's safe to say we will never come back to the nastiness and anybody reading this, so yourself a favor and check out FatBoyz BBQ down the street (trust me)!!

4 Rivers is one of my families go to after a long day of work. They have order ahead and a pick up window.
The pulled pork(with lean pieces), Cuban sandwich, french fries (better than McDonalds), baked beans and cornbread are a hit in our house. Never any complaints, hot and delicious. You can smell the BBQ driving by everytime.
Take out window friendly and prompt. Extra BBQ sauce no charge, no problem. Delicious!
