4 Rivers Smokehouse

4 Rivers continues to deliver solid, comforting BBQ done right. The ribs were the standout for me—tender, smoky, and cooked just right with a great balance of bark and moisture. They pulled cleanly from the bone without falling apart, which is exactly how good ribs should be.

The baked beans were another highlight. They’re rich, slightly sweet, and loaded with flavor, making them more than just a side dish—they easily hold their own and pair perfectly with the ribs.

I also tried the Lenna Offering sampler, which is a fantastic option if you want variety or are visiting for the first time. It’s generous, well-balanced, and lets you sample multiple proteins and sides without feeling rushed or shorted. Great value for the portion size.

On top of the food, the staff was friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain the menu and make recommendations without being pushy. That kind of service really elevates the experience.

Overall, 4 Rivers is a reliable go-to for quality BBQ, whether you’re craving ribs, comfort-style sides, or just want an easy sampler that hits all the right notes. I’ll definitely be back.

I stayed in door because the outdoor was packed and I wanted to be were is was quieter

Deviled eggs were good a bit sweet for me but I've not had many deviled eggs before.

Brisket was delicious

Prime rib was amazing and pulled right off the bone

Potatoe casserole was also really good

Brussels sprouts where delicious

The food has the flavor of BBQ but not lathered giving you the option to use more or less BBQ

Cold brew liquor coffee was great! But I didn't realize it was alchoalic when I ordered it! It was tasty eitherway

IMO this is the best barbecue in Jacksonville. The collards; the baked grits; I especially like the moist brisket. Friendly staff.

The food is always good. I’ve never really been unhappy with my meals. They used to have a section for dessert like cakes slices but that seems to have gone away. Wish they had regular cornbread.
