Aaron HenryAugust 7, 2014I love BBQ, but that's not my favorite part here. The sides are fantastic (fried pickles are my fav) & the desserts & bottled drinks are fun
Dave RichardAugust 16, 2015This is actually one of the best 4rivers I've ever been too. Excellent quality and right off of 95... Stop there for lunch on a road trip!
huilineApril 29, 2015Food and service was ridiculously good. Samples anything on their menu and they don't cheap out. Full piece of brisket,whole rib. These guys know how to smoke. Had the brisket and it was killer.
JA CastilloAugust 28, 2014Texas Destroyer sandwich and Burnt Ends (for the brisket) are tops in my book. They have a good assortment of unique sodas (Cheerwine, RC Cola, etc) & their dessert shop is crazy!
Burnt ends are awesome, brisket and pulled pork mixed together and smoked some more extra flavor. As for side items they are all delicious but the cheese grits are the BEST!
Eli AnselmiAugust 31, 2013Brisket is really good! Great some flavor and tender. Burnt ends are not real burnt ends! Some weird concoction with pirk and sauce. Great atmosphere! Worth the stop
Jerry CSeptember 4, 2015Bananas foster bread pudding on Tues, Thurs, Sat. We won't visit other days, it's that good. Their St Louis style ribs are terrific as well!
For lunch, it's better to get there a little after 12:30... Otherwise the line is out the door. Pulled Pork and Sausage is good. Fried okra and corn was also good. Mac and cheese was mediocre.
Mark BallingerAugust 12, 2013Somehow they managed a smoke ring. They pour sauce on it for you so you will taste BBQ I guess. The sweet shop is awesome thou. Might be only reason I return
Good brisket and rib. Do you want to try all BBQ styles, try the river, they have a good version of most American styles.
Kenroy M GabrielApril 21, 2015I most definitely love the ribs and baked beans and coleslaw. Especially the way how the meat falls right off the bone...
Annie MulliganMarch 31, 2015Their chili is amazing and don't forget to check out their awesome bakery after you eat your dinner
Grant MoyersJuly 16, 2019Brisket and chicken are both very good. Sides are good. Try the hot bbq sauce for that extra kick.
Greg DriskellSeptember 6, 2013The BBQ quesadillas were incredible! I highly recommend but be careful for when you go, line is frequently out the door.- BBQ Quesadilla, macaroni and cheese and baked beans are yummy!
DobleFebruary 16, 2017Excellent. Tried ribs, pulled pork, brisket, smoked chicken, cornbread, baked beans, and corn.
John PelotDecember 22, 2019The food is good but I’m not a fan of the seating-large tables seating many customers. Lunch can be busy and force u to sit at one of those. Won’t go back for that reason but takeout I would!
Much different than you expect - ask for a plate if you want one. The food is awesome and the sweet shop is dangerous.
The barbeque is delicious, but the desserts are to kill for. Save room for a cupcake!- Alison PowersAugust 7, 2014The cupcakes at The Sweet Shop inside are awesome. Especially the cookie dough one.
Jimena AponteMarch 12, 2016Santa Maria tri tip steak is amazing but order it with the chimichurri on the side
Mark WoodsApril 9, 2014Man this place is quality. Love the briscuit. Baked beans are delicious and smoky!- Possibly the best brisket in town. Make sure to get the moist cut, or why bother?
- Jerry CSeptember 4, 2015We would visit from out-of-state if we ever moved: Banana bread pudding, TUES/THURS/SAT. 'Nuff said.
Staci WhitakerSeptember 7, 2013Amazing pulled pork! The ribs are so fresh! Cooked perfectly! Meat falls off the bone
WesleyDecember 28, 2014The gut buster was heart attack inducing. Hotdog with pulled pork, cheese and slaw on it.
Jamie LeeOctober 15, 2013Good food. Had the pulled pork with okra, baked beans and green beans. Place is always packed- Raymond SextonJuly 4, 2013Good stuff!! And they have a bakery with fantastic cupcakes and treats to go.
Bubba RosenowJuly 7, 2013The food is amazing, and for all the sweet tooth's the sweet shop looks good too.
Melanie S.August 7, 2013Arrived between 1:30-2:00 pm. No line! :) Food and service was great! Finally found cupcake heaven!!!
Frank RiskJune 25, 2013The food was really good, but really salty!!!! It's a nice place and we enjoyed it other than the salt being overpowering.
Try the sliders! You can choose 3 different meats! BestBBQ around
Michael BrennanMay 19, 2017The sides were great, beans, collards, and bisquit. The Prime Rib I received was ultra thin, thinking lunch meat thin, cold and dry. Was not impressed. Brisket was good..- Two-meat combo of brisket and prime rib is heavenly good.
Richard CarrollMay 3, 2015Awesome place .. enjoyed everything they put on my plate or should I say tray
Everything here is phenomenal!! Get a dinner plate and try free samples!
Melody MillerJanuary 13, 2016This is fast casual food. It is ok for what it is. I would rather go for real BBQ.

"I recommend their Shrimp and Grits platter. Nice amount of spice, the perfect blend of sausage and shrimp. I ordered mines with a side of collared greens."
