First time here and WOW—what an experience! The hospitality was amazing from start to finish. The food was absolutely incredible; not a single thing disappointed. Honestly, this is the BEST BBQ I’ve ever had! Everything was so flavorful and fresh. We loved the wings, Messy Pig, street tacos, corn, Southern coleslaw, and mac & cheese. And that BBQ pumpkin sauce? Out of this world!
Huge shoutout to Maria, Aliyah, and Cristina for your super sweet service and spot-on recommendations. You ladies are amazing and truly deserve all the praise. Thank you for making our visit even better!
I’ll definitely be recommending this place to all my friends and family. We’re 100% coming back!

I recently visited this BBQ Smokehouse, and the food was absolutely fantastic! Everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and served fresh. The brisket was tender, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and the sides were just as impressive.
I also want to highlight the outstanding customer service. Jennifer & Z went above and beyond to make sure my experience was great—they were friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout my visit. Their excellent service truly made the meal even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend this place for anyone craving quality BBQ and top-notch service!

I've been a customer of 4 Rivers for years, my family and I really enjoy it, but I want to highlight what's most valuable: the people. This store stands out, especially the employee Maria; she makes all the difference in this company, her service is 1000%.

In the last 3 times that I have gone to this location (Kissimmee)there was never no chicken. But if I go to the Winter Park store or Orlando on Orange Ave there is always chicken and very fresh. If there is never none cooked in the Kissimmee store it should than be taken off the menu. I reach out to the Corporate office and hope they can read this.

Very delicious food here! We got four meats and two sides, and all of our bellies were more than full. I feel the portion sizes are very generous. The food was very delicious and flavorful. My personal favorites were the sausage, mac & cheese, and cornbread. The staff was friendly and I like the overall atmosphere the restaurant will definitely be returning again.
