“Stopped by with my grown son for a late lunch & really enjoyed the food & service. Had their special- pulled pork sandwich, one side (fries)and a drink. Reasonably priced. We’ll be back.“

“Stopped by this brisket shop and wow — I’m still thinking about it! I ordered the double meat plate with double brisket, and it did not disappoint. Every slice was packed with flavor — some lean cuts that were tender and smoky, and others with just the right amount of fat that melted in your mouth. The bark was perfectly seasoned, and the smoke ring? Chef’s kiss. 💨 The sides deserve their own shoutout — the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and topped with that golden crust, the kind that makes you go back for seconds. And let’s not forget the soft roll and the tangy pickled onions that added the perfect contrast to the rich brisket. I even dipped a piece of brisket into their barbecue sauce, and it took things to the next level. This spot is a must-visit for any BBQ lover. If you’re thinking about going — do it. Highly recommend the double brisket!“

“First Class all the way! Had them cater our event for over 250 people, the ‘Topping Off’ party for the new hospital being built in Riverview on 301. From Set -up, the servers and take down- 1st class!!! The food was wonderful!!! Highly recommend.“

“It was absolutely amazing! The service was fantastic. The manager and Skii with 2 ii's Checked in on us a few times. The food was absolutely amazing. I absolutely loved the brisket and my ribs. The bread pudding was phenomenal. My husband now likes bread pudding. Skii recommended the brussels sprouts and they were definitely on point! I will absolutely be back. 💜💜💜💜 Apparently I take too many photos I can't scroll down to the pictures...... I left a post about it on my social media. @NerdyGirls“

“Some of the best dang bbq I’ve had in a long time and everything made from scratch home cooking this family owned business made these Michigan bums feel right at home“

“Needs a little more consistency on the grill. Have ordered same meal 5 times and the seasoning wasn't consistent. Side items DR, Collards and M&C is more consistent than the meats. I would recommend giving them a try and you judge the restaurant for yourself because everyone has a different taste palate.“

“I had such an amazing experience at Mission BBQ! This was my second time coming, and I can honestly say it was even better than the first.

The first time I visited was already a great experience, but this second visit right before closing was absolutely outstanding. My food came out piping hot, full of flavor, and everything tasted incredible. You would never think they were close to closing with how fresh everything was.

What really stood out to me was the service. The staff was so kind and welcoming, and they didn’t seem annoyed or rushed at all. My very first visit, there was a sweet older lady who took the time to help me choose my barbecue, and that level of care clearly carries throughout the team.

You really don’t find service like this anymore. Between the amazing food and genuinely kind staff, I will definitely keep coming back!“

“Sometimes, a change of plans turns into the best surprise. We originally intended to visit a different BBQ spot, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it didn't work out. My son was shipping out for the Navy the very next day, and all he wanted for his send-off meal was good BBQ. He stumbled across Kojak’s, and I am so glad we landed here!

Knowing they’ve been family-owned since the 70s sets the stage, but the staff—who are the family themselves—truly made the experience. They were incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home like we were part of their own family.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. I had the pulled pork dinner with mac 'n' cheese and parsley potatoes, and every single bite was incredible. In fact, everything was so good that we actually kept going back to order more! We finished the meal with their fresh apple cake for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending.

I cannot recommend Kojak’s highly enough, and I already can't wait to come back. Don't sleep on this place—they will not disappoint. My only regret is that we didn't discover it sooner!“

“I love this restaurant. The barbecue is very great.“

“Best BBQ I've had in a long time!!! Everything was amazing!“

“Absolutely outstanding experience at 4 Rivers Smokehouse! The pulled pork sandwich was incredible tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor in every bite. You can tell they put a lot of care into their barbecue.
One thing I really appreciated was the variety of sauces available right at the table. It was great being able to try different flavors and customize each bite exactly how I liked it. Every sauce complemented the pulled pork perfectly and added something unique to the meal.
The food was fresh, the service was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. If you're looking for great barbecue, the pulled pork sandwich at 4 Rivers is a must-try. I'll definitely be back!“

“unbelievable food. so tasty. great service.yummy“

“I was shocked that my lunch, a sandwich, fries and a drink cost 💲 18.29, and then dissappointed when the meal actually came. The board you order from barely has any pricing on it. If you’re going the charge dinner pricing for lunch, the food should at least be freaking amazing. It was my first and definitely my last time.“

“Just got more food from him talk about the most amazing thing I put in my mouth just melts the taste of the barbecue is amazing and on top of all that he is such a nice guy great to talk to I have eaten at 15 to 20 different barbecue places and this one wins hands-down if I was you I would recommend going to this place otherwise you’re just missing out on the most wonderful thing in your mouth!!!!!!!!“

“Best bbq I ever tasted! Brisket, Gator bites, Chicken wings, Ribs all cooked to perfection. I even stopped by for breafast the next morning and had my 1st better than hardees biscuits and gravy along with, "What!" smoked corned beef with poatatoes. It made our day! I heard about this place up north and can say if anyone is remotely in the Tampa area.....They should stop by!!! Thank You Jimmy Jo's!!“

“I have been to the Anchor Bar three or four times with my friends for lunch. Jeona has always been our server and she is attentive and polite. Refills, no problem. She is the only one serving and she has always managed to keep track of everyone. The food is good--the servings are substantial. The French Fries are the best! Although our group doesn't drink, I would suggest it for lunch whether you have a drink or not.“

“First choice was my favorite, this is the same just different name. Will let people know first choice fans to come here now.“
