    I called the local number and a call center picked up. Why have a local number if your customers are going to have to fight with a robot, then wait for a person to forward the call to the local store. Way to waste your customers' time. Simply stupid. 0 stars for the annoyance if I could. Food is better than Sonny's, but what is that really saying. Low bar.

    Came here today to grab a quick lunch, and I was blown away!!! I was torn between the pulled pork and burnt ends so Ariel gave me a sample of each to try. When I got to the sides, Jackie did a great job of explaining the sides (I got bread pudding and cheesy potatoes…YUM!) Overall the food was amazing, the employees were very welcoming, and I recommend stopping by for an experience you won’t forget.

    Brian, Joe, and the rest of the 4Rivers crew have done an outstanding job. Everything from the friendliness of the service, the taste of the food, to the cleanliness of the restaurant I was blown away. I would highly recommend 4 Rivers to anyone and fully expect them to have a great time.

    Amazing place! My very first American barbecue in America and holy smokes it was amazing. The brisket has a great bark to it, it’s juicy and moist and just melts in your mouth. The pulled chicken is Smokey and delicious, and the chicken is great as well! The sides (Texas cornbread, mac n cheese, corn, and cheesy potatoes) were all better than I imagined they’d be. The service at the 4 Rivers in Gainesville is amazing, the staff were super excited that it was my first time and they were all very welcoming and friendly and gave the best recommendations. Overall 12/10 experience!

    A HUGE thank you to the general manager of this location and Joe! We tried to place a very large, complicated online order for a birthday party but the online system wasn't working for whatever reason, so my husband drove down close to closing to try to place the order. Despite it being a busy night, Joe was happy to place the order and, when their system went funky for some reason, was able to grab the general manager to troubleshoot the problem. When we picked up our order the next day, everything was fresh, perfect, and delicious. We are so thankful for high-quality food but more thankful for high-quality people.
