This is what you get for $18! Meat that is half fat/gristle, and 2 tiny sides! Not impressed. I would NEVER serve that to my guests and my Employees would be trained better to not send that out!

The Sign and Google said it was open (Sunday 11- 7pm). but it was closed, door were locked. The girl inside saw us and didn't even en bother. We were very excited to try the brisket, but never get the chance. We went to Lakeland just try the food. If hours change update your sign.

I’ve always loved 4 Rivers and have had great experiences at their different locations, so I was a little disappointed with our most recent visit to the Lakeland location. I always order my brisket lean, but the past few times I’ve gotten a mixture of fatty pieces or portions that were mostly fat. Their St. Louis-style ribs also used to be some of my favorite. They were always super lean, tender, and delicious, but lately they’ve seemed a little tougher than they should be.
The baked beans are still fantastic, along with their Krispy Kreme Bread Putting! I’ll definitely still go back, but unfortunately not as frequently as I used to. I do hope that the quality gets back to where it was because I’ve always been a big fan of 4 Rivers.

We visited 4 Rivers Smokehouse in Lakeland for lunch and had a very positive experience overall. The children’s meals were appropriately sized for our 5- and 3-year-olds, while the adult portions were generous.
The moist brisket I ordered was exceptionally tender and juicy. My wife requested lean brisket but received moist instead, which was the only problem with the meal. The fried okra was excellent, and we also enjoyed the sauce selection.
The ordering process was straightforward, even for first-time customers, and the staff was consistently friendly and helpful. Our children particularly enjoyed the soda fountain because it offered several unusual drink choices. The dining area and restrooms were both very clean, which added to the overall impression of a well-run restaurant.

I had an issue with a drive thru order and tried to contact the store. First call, I got this message, "There is no one here to take your call." Second call, I got this message, "There is no one here to take your call." Third call, finally got connected. I spoke with a man who claimed to be the General Manager. It was a simple issue. I ordered two meals and one of them was missing the french fries. I asked if there was a delivery option and he said no. I asked because I wanted to eat my hot meal with my wife's hot meal. If I left to go pick them up, then she would have waited for me to eat and both of our meals would have been cold. He said if I didn't want to come back and pick them up that he could refund my card. I said okay, got my wallet, and then shared what my meal was. It was a 2x2 with double burnt ends, baked beans and fries. I thought he would need that for the refund. Then he paused...I paused...and I said, are you just refunding the fries? He said, "yes, that's all you are missing, right?"
I shared that that was not the right way to handle the situation.
I then shared that we would just go to Mission BBQ from now on, which is just a couple of blocks away.
You see, it wasn't about the $3 fries. It was about the experience. There are dozens of restaurants within a mile of the Lakeland 4 Rivers, and we chose you. But, you didn't choose us back.
I haven't worked in the restaurant industry for 30 years, but that's not how you handle that situation.
I remember the "out the door" lines when you first opened. Now, there's never a wait. I can only inagine that it's service like this that caused that.
A former customer...don't call me a guest because that's not how you treat guests.
