4 Rivers Smokehouse Gainesville was the fifth Smokehouse and the first to debut in a college town and one of the first counter-service casual dining BBQ restaurants in Gainesville. Visited by locals and UF students, the Gainesville 4 Rivers has become a staple in the community for the best BBQ in Gainesville. Located on Archer Rd, just down the road from the University of Florida campus, in Butler Plaza at 3262 SW 35th Blvd. Gainesville FL. 32608.
4 Rivers Smokehouse has opened numerous locations but remains the same family-owned business specializing in slow-smoked barbecue, homestyle sides, and fresh bakery items in a family-friendly casual dining environment.

We had a wonderful experience here. It was our first visit and the manager came around to us to explain the menu options. Which was very helpful. Jack, the floor manager, was very friendly and helpful. Jack was very attentive to our needs. We definitely recommend this restaurant.
