We ordered these wings today, but unfortunately most of them were completely burnt and blackened, making them very difficult to eat. I’ve attached photos for reference.
We were quite disappointed with the quality and hope you can look into this issue. Besides this one issue, others and services were good!

Ordered from this location through DoorDash. This particular order if the 6Shooter. The idea is amazing, the execution was flawed by one single mistake: My pulled pork was a lump of gelatinous pork fat. And because it was delivered it being cool to the touch was disgusting. I ate the soggy grits patty and toppings, but the little meat I had was mostly fat.

On 3/1/26 I went thru the drive thru at 4 Rivers and ordered 1/2 pound of pulled chicken. When I arrived home it looked like like a very small amount. I got my very accurate kitchen scale out and weighed it in the container. The scale read .370 pounds. If you’re going to charge $16.60 a pound for chicken at least give me the proper amount. I’ve tried calling them but get no answer and no call back. I my opinion they hold their customers with low regard. I will never return to this establishment.

4rivers never disappoints! Today I had something called the “Six Shooter”. It is a tower beginning with baked cheese grits, topped with coleslaw, then pulled pork, then more coleslaw, then pickles and jalapeño peppers and drizzled with lots of barbecue sauce. Triple Yum! I knew I liked all the different levels independently, but did not know if I would like them all sloped together on top of each other. Well, it was a wonderful treat. Sorry I did not take a picture of it, but I’m sure you can see it on their website.

I ordered the 2×2 with pulled pork and burnt ends. Sides were mac and cheese and BBQ beans.
The meats were generous and cooked well. Tender and tasty!
The sides were great, too. Mac and cheese was rich and creamy. The beans had a good flavor with pieces of pork in them.
I was there during early dinner (around 5:15 pm). It was just starting to pick up so I didn’t have to wait long.
The service was really good. Friendly and informative. I will definitely go back.

Cuban Sandwich was really good! The pork was moist, the bread was crispy. The collard greens could use a little seasoning.
The bread pudding is phenomenal.
Overall very satisfied.

Visiting family in Orlando for the weekend. Upon arrival we decided to head out to Four Rivers BBQ where we had an amazing lunch.
All the food was perfectly seasoned and cooked and it was served hot. I had the brisket, pulled pork, cornbread and coleslaw. Other members of my party had the brisket
sandwiches with same sides. While the brisket itself is very delicious and juicy, is plainly served between two buns but nothing else to it; it is missing a cohesive element. I also tried the mac and cheese and the BBQ beans, both very tasty.
The restaurant itself is clean and well kept and presented. The customer service was very good as well for being a fast-food establishment.
I will definitely return to try other menu items.

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and courteous from the people at the front counter, to the food preppers and management. Shalyn was able to answer our questions about food allergies and was very helpful. Alex, the manager, was also super courteous and present. The food was delicious and great portions sizes. They had a great variety of desserts too! Would definitely recommend!

The service was good, was was empty but clean. The Mac and cheese was okay, decent but the fries and brisket was a bit dry for my liking. However the sausage was pretty good.

I wasn’t a fan of 4 Rivers for a long time – the BBQ was dry and the fries never impressed me, so I stayed away for years. I went again yesterday with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by the updated menu. Street tacos, Cubans, chicken wings – finally some variety. The street tacos were excellent, and for the first time in a long while, I’m looking forward to going back and exploring more of the menu. Glad to see them mixing things up.
