4 Rivers Smokehouse Jacksonville is approximately 10 miles from the heart of downtown and less than one mile from I-95, possibly one of the most convenient 4R locations to find. Find us at 9220 Baymeadows Rd. Jacksonville, FL 32256. 4 Rivers Smokehouse has opened several locations but remains a family-owned business specializing in slow-smoked barbecue, home-style sides, and fresh bakery items in a family-friendly casual dining environment. Declared “The Best BBQ in Florida” as well as one of “The South’s Best BBQ Joints” by Food & Wine and Southern Living Magazines respectively, 4 Rivers Smokehouse Jacksonville was the fourth 4 Rivers location, but also a homecoming of sorts for founder John Rivers who is a Jacksonville native.
Counter-serve chain eatery featuring Texas-style BBQ, homestyle sides & sweet treats.

The beef, chicken, macaroni and cheese, greens, green beans, barbecue baked beans, and cornbread, as well as the traditional and spicy barbecue sauce. We’re all catered for the event. This brand is pretty consistent. However, the barbecue smoke was a little lighter than I have had in Orlando. But I was happy about that.

I ordered the two-meat combo with two sides, with Brisket, Sausage, Mac n’ Cheese and Baked Beans. The brisket was the best tasting from the group, which had a pretty good balance of flavor from marbling and lean meat. I thought the sausage was just eh’, it just lacked a distinct flavor, not bad and not excellent. Mac n’ cheese was very basic, tasted good (really hard to mess up ), although nothing special about it. Baked beans were pretty sweet, would have tasted better with a little more smoked flavor and less sugar. Their chocate chip cookies were huge and tasted great. Would I come back here again? Sure, probably for their brisket, but I might try out some other menu items.

Wow wow WOW! I consider myself a BBQ fanatic, and this place really impressed me! Their chicken, including the white meat (which is often dry me at places) was beyond tender and taste great! Sides were so good and the corn stuff is a MUST! My family got the vegan burnt ends and brisket and raved! We are very much excited to return!

I stood in line to order my food, but the line was so long I went to their site ordered and paid for my food and then got out of line. As soon as I got out the line I got an email that said they were having an issue with their site and my order wasn’t placed. I went to the pick up line and explained my situation. She allowed me to order there. Wings were great!

We liked this enough, we ate there twice. The brisket was really moist and tender. You did not need a knife to cut it. The pulled pork was good, but not the top of my list out of my travels. I would get just the brisket if I went back a 3rd time. The Mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy. The baked beans were delicious. Whoever makes those are on top of it. The street corn was surprisingly good! I got that on the off chance I’d like it and I was right. The cornbread was nice and gritty, but sweet. They know how to do BBQ right and that’s coming from someone who loves TN BBQ. Also, they have really good BBQ sauce. I love the mustard sauce while my husband loves the house BBQ. Good flavor for both!

Between the two 4 Rivers Smokehouse in Jacksonville, I prefer the Baymeadow location. The ribs, chicken, and sausages are moist and tender. The signature and hot sauses are must try when you are there. The spiciness and taste of vinegar has the right ratio. The environment could be cleaner. Overall, it is a high 3 to 4 rating with all things considered. Would recommend thier food anytime.

Vegan burnt ends were delicious as always!! I live they tell you which sides have meat. First time my hubby came here with me, he loved everything but preffered the vegan ends instead of the normal ones. He’s a meat eater!! Love they have so many option.

This is actually a 4 1/2 ⭐ review as a very small but important item needs addressing. First a very large and easy to enter, if you are heading East on Baymeadows but a bit of a challenge if you are heading West as you need to U turn after passing 4 Rivers. Parking is excellent as well as entry. This is not a table order place but an easy to read menu board is very helpful. As you order you may get to watch them prepare the trays which is a pleasant experience. Bill likes his Brisket moist with the Fat still on and by placing his order with the cutter he got just what we both wanted. The combination of the Cutter and the out of this world moist Brisket is a reason that they will see us again so 5 ⭐ and then some. We ordered the 2+2 of Brisket and Burnt Ends… this is where they lose a ⭐. The Burnt Ends should be crispy but these were sooo soggy… not to Bill’s liking. The two sides of Sweet Potato Casserole and Green beans were outstanding and enough for two a sure 5 ⭐ accross the board. You get to add you own sauce which is great as neither of us are big on drowning the meat in BQ sauce HOWEVER we tried three in small amounts and all were very good. This is a nice clean and well staffed place that is good for friends and family be they young or more senior. Oh looking for the restroom??? It’s outside in the outside seating area… strange.

5/5 amazing establishment. Had overwhelming selection of meats and custom combinations in which you’d like them with choice of sides. Also tons of other choices. I personally had the “Mac Attack” which was only $10 for a HUGE serving of an interesting mixture of mac and cheese, chicken tenders, French fries, and different sauces. (AMAZING!!). Also employees seemed genuinely happy to be there and glad to help us through the menu. The service was fast and there’s a huge indoor and outdoor selection of seating, all with good vibes.
