Spectacular, worth the money, great across the board. The brisket melts in my mouth, the pulled pork is amazing, boyfriend loves the whiskeys. Every time I go I wonder why I don't go more often, and I plan to do it going forward. Everyone there treats us like old friends, ever since our first time in. Highly recommend!

Seemed to be a little short staffed, took a while to get to ordering, but the food was terrific, and the whiskey list is nice. Highly recommend if you like bbq and bourbon.

Sounds like this restaurant restaurant owner needs to take a visit to Orlando, Florida, to get a real sense of how barbecue should be cooked and presented!!! Try 4 River's Smokehouse!!!

Excellent Customer Service. Server walked me through everything. Highly Recommend

Great BBQ! The smoked ribs, sausage, brisket and wings rocked! Could use a few more vegetable side options. The paper plates and plastic cutlery dropped the atmosphere down 1 because it's 2024 and restaurants should be more committed to reuseable eating tools.

Stopped in last night for a quick beer and grabbed some to-go to give it a try,. Keep in mind I'm giving it four stars because I ate the food the next day, reheated in the micro. Beans were excellent - some of the best I've had at a BBQ place. Pulled pork was good, I'm sure better not reheated. Sausage also really good. Bartender was super friendly and BBQ guy was as well. Looking forward to going back and having food there.

The restaurant is spacious and the server Dave is awesome. But compared to nearby bbq like Dino bbq and fat bobs, the food, at least in the platter, is just not as good. The wings, ribs, and French fries are okay, a bit bland but well cooked. Having some BBQ sauce at the table would be a great addition. The mac n cheese is very bland and taste very little of cheese and is a bit grimy.The pork and beans has a strange unique taste to it, we at least didnt enjoy it. It didn't have much pork flavor. For the cucumber salad, we were expecting diced cucumbers with maybe some veggies and seasonings, but it was large slices of cucumbers with a few onions and some vinegar. For the meats, the brisket is extremely dry and the sausages taste like Oscar Meyers brand ones from the store. Juicy, but not tasty to us. Can't recommend the default platter since it was $45. Get ribs and fries and maybe try the gumbo and other items.

The food at Roaming Bison is amazing. Greg smokes his own meats and puts care and creativity into each dish. The gumbo on Thursdays is a revelation and is a must try.Greg and the crew are down to earth, friendly, and ready to give a suggestion if needed.If you're into bourbon, the selection here will make you drool. Stop in for a drink or a meal, you won't regret it.
