Everything about the food was great. The brisket was tender and smoked flavored, not greasy at all. The Mac and cheese and BBQ beans were both flavorful. And the blueberry cheesecake was really sweet but really good. Worth every penny. Not from Tampa so I was Trying something new and it was a great surprise.

My husband is amazing on the smoker and while this wasn’t as good as his it was by far the best I’ve had anywhere in Florida. I love that you can try things before you order. Had the BBQ melt with burnt ends , very good - bread was buttery and crispy and the burnt ends were tender, smoky and caramelized. The guys had pulled pork combo/ sandwich. Mac & cheese was good and creamy. The baked beans were really good. The fries for being big steak fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and tender in the middle. Anna was great!

I decided to try 4 Rivers Smokehouse for my birthday. My initial reaction of the location was that it was big and spacious and well lit. My party sat down looked at the menu and then went to the counter to place our orders. We all wanted the 2x2 meal with ribs as one of the meats, but to our surprise and disappointment, we were told they had just sold out of the ribs, but some were in the smoker. We asked how long before they would be ready and we were told it would be at least an hour. So everyone in the group decided to go with their other meat selections but I did not. I really only came for the ribs and since I don't like brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, or chicken I ended up getting the sides sampler which was bland green beans (canned, needed seasoning), mac and cheese (needed a dash of salt and pepper), corn (tasty with a dash of salt). Many of my party enjoyed their selections after they also doctored their sides up with basic seasonings. The meat however got an overall ranking of 5/10. Most feelnit wasn't worth the hype. Brisket and burnt ends were a little dry and lacked flavor. The chicken was cooked ok, but also lacked flavor. About 20 minutes after we started eating we noticed an influx of customers and they had ribs! One of my friends inquired at the counter about this since we were told it would take 1 hour for more ribs to be ready. The person we spoke with didn't argue or try to give a reason for the misinformation. What they did is give us a serving of ribs (3 bones) on the house, not sure why though. I finally tasted the ribs and concluded thatbI could have cooked them at home and been satisfied and happy. Although the ribs were tendee, they didn't have a smoky taste and there didn't seem to be any flavor to the meat. It was a total let down. At some point a manager came over inquiring about our experience. We told her about the meat debacle which she apologized for.
Overall, I would say I would not go back. The food was OK, at best. Definitely not anything to boast or rave about. Total bust on my birthday.
