“The place is great for comfort food. We eat there with a group of friends. Occasionally, the thing I hate the most is that you have to use a little computer to pay your bill. So it's not something that we like, and so we don't come here that often. We like to be able to pay the waitress. I mean, you stand in there with 5 to 10 people or more as a group waiting for the person to help each person check out. It's just a lot We'd like to be visiting not sitting around watching somebody. Try to check us out with a little computer.So I steer clear of places like applebee's, in places with these little computers on the table to check you out. If we go out to eat, we're looking for great food, great service and wonderful atmosphere. We don't want to bag our own groceries every time we shop nor wait on ourselves at restaurants 😒.“

“What a great find in south Lakeland! I had the tenderloin and my friend had a burger. We could tell both were made in-house, not frozen and thrown in the fryer or on the grill. Delicious!“

“Good food I love the ribs“

“I ordered our Thanksgiving meal from 4 Rivers this year. Everything was ready to go when I arrived to pick it up, and they even loaded it in the car for me. The service was great, and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing! The reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5 is because of the way the food was packaged. I knew it would need to be re-heated, and they provided good instructions, but everything came in sealed plastic bags. I was expecting it to be in containers that could be placed directly in the oven, so at the last minute, I had to scrounge around & find 8 of my own Corning ware dishes, pots & pans for heating it all. Then I had to cut all the bags open & pour & squeeze the food out. It took a little more time & effort than I thought it would, but everyone enjoyed the food.“

“This has been our been our go to for over a year. Food quality was good, service quick & Josie is an Angel. However, we’ve been there 2 of the last few weekends. First time, a cook & a waitress were arguing in the kitchen & she walked out after 10 mins screaming. Today the same thing only it was 2 males dropping the f-bomb over & over. I told Josie I don’t think we’ll be back for a while. I go to relax on a weekend & enjoy. Sorry but that’s my experience.“
