I visited 4 Rivers today for the first time! I ordered to go and was helped by Kayla. She was super helpful and patient with me and all my questions. After I ordered I they got my order out super fast which is good because I had to get back to work! When I sat down to eat I must say everything was delirious! I highly recommend!

I've been here twice. Today was the second time ever. Theres literally roaches crawling around. I spent over $100 taking my parents to get dinner here and after sitting down and eating, we decided we wanted some dessert; We go to the register to get a dessert and theres ROACHES ON THE COUNTER. Around the register, the hotbar where there foods are stored, the dessert box..... absolutely disgusting. We point out the roaches to the cashier and you'd think maybe they'd react like a normal persom but instead the guy sloooowly scoops it off the counter and then proceeds to grab my piece of cake WITH THE SAME GLOVES ON. Asked for a manager and guess what the solution was? 1 plate of food refunded. $20 refunded. That was their solution to my complaint. Health departments gonna be here in no time🤢
EDIT: After I reached out to them today (08.28.2026) regarding their reply to this review, they gave me a $15 gift card to their restaurant as if I will ever be eating here again. Another fine example of whats supposed to be a nice place to eat shrugging off serious health concerns with a monetary gift only eligible for use at their disgusting establishment. Avoid this place. Call the health department and report them.
EDIT #2: I was contacted by a very nice and understanding manager for this establishment who actually did something about our time there being a not-so-great one. The issue of bugs still remains to my knowledge but I was reassured that they are addressing it and they are aware that it is unacceptable to have such an experience.
In conclusion: The food is good, certain staff are nice, understanding, and passionate about their jobs, while corporate and others are quite dismissive and lack the core component of their job; customer service. When they finish their construction and take care of the problem i talked about.... It's a good spot to eat, and in ideal conditions its absolutely worth going to. If I revisit in a few months, I will come back and update this review.

We have been going to 4 Rivers for a while. It has always been good. Tonight we had dinner at 4 Rivers. My son always gets the vegan burnt ends. They used to make them in the back but tonight they were in the warming table and were not very good. I got the pulled pork sandwich as usual and it was very wet. I could not even eat the bun.
Also, there is a sink to wash your hands by the soda machine, and there were a lot of small bugs flying around the sink and paper towels.
We really have always liked 4 Rivers but not sure we will be coming back.
