What Mike M likes about 4 Rivers Smokehouse:
Three words: Vegan. Burnt. Ends. As a gluten-free vegan who misses barbecue very deeply, this hit the spot better than I could have imagined. Obviously I didn't partake of the actual meat, but I'm sure it was amazing based on the level of understanding that went into making these burnt ends amazing. View all feedback. What EMartinez doesn't like about 4 Rivers Smokehouse:
Ribs were cold, mac and cheese was super dry and dinner roll was stale and cold. They are extremely stingy with the portions across the board, especially for what they’re charging. I also think it’s beyond petty to be asking for tips, let alone 18% for counter service when I have to do all the work and with what they charge. Perhaps they can just pay their employees better and practice what they preach. View all feedback.

The food and the service was nice. But I paid $22 for one meal. That's kinda high for a BBQ sandwich. I will stop at a food truck next time.

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. We are from the Midwest and used to Kc Memphis style BBQ, and this held its own against both of them.
