If you’re at 4 Rivers, ya already know. I remember watching from I4, 10 years ago, how people lined up around the corner each Friday to get some 4R BBQ. Now it’s the same, just the line is there everyday, at all the restaurants.
Best BBQ in the western hemisphere. Better than St. L. MO, better than KC KA, better than anywhere TX, better than NC/SC with their weird vinegar sauce. Just plain the best (although I haven’t been in S. America yet…)

Used this location 4Rivers for 8-10 person catering order. Food was great, pick-up was on schedule, and with zero issues. Their disposables option even came with serving spoons, little nice touch. Last second wife request of a 1/2 tray of cheesy potatoes wound up being the star just fyi.

4 Rivers is so popular in this area but I've really never enjoyed it. Gave it another go recently and it's still lacking. The pulled pork was good but fully cold, the cheesy potatoes were bland, the only flavor in baked beans was super sweet, and there was no meat in them. We really like the grits and bread pudding though. Overall I think there are much better barbecue options to be found.
