4 Rivers Smokehouse - Longwood, Florida

Five stars all the way for Four Rivers Barbecue in Longwood, Florida! This is our go-to spot after attending church at Honor Church in Lake Mary, and it never disappoints. The service is quick and efficient, which is perfect for a hungry family coming out of church. The food is affordable with generous portions, and every bite is packed with that signature, mouth-watering flavor that Four Rivers is known for.

Their kids' meals are a big hit with our little one—great options, perfectly portioned, and very budget-friendly. And let me tell you, the sweet tea is as southern as it gets: sweet, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with the meal. The real showstopper, though, is the bakery. One taste of their cookies and you’ll be wondering if you’ve ever really had a cookie before. Everything is just that good!

Whether you’re there for the brisket, ribs, or just stopping by for dessert, Four Rivers is a must-visit. Highly recommended for families, church groups, or anyone looking for an authentic, flavorful barbecue experience!

Bring your appetite for the most delicious "tongue slap your brains out" BBQ feast and southern sides. Highly recommend for groups and families.

Worst brisket I've had in awhile. Absolutely no bark, it was chewy, and had no flavor. I can't see how this was smoked 14 hours. It had absolutely no smoke ring. Seems like it was done in the oven or boiled. See pics. It was take out so I was already home before I saw the horrible brisket. The side of cheese grits was tiny and a joke Talk about shrinkflation. And the grits were rolled up in aluminum foil, who does that? So gross. I thought I could get away with not checking my food while I was there, lesson learned but I won't be back anyways.

For years barbecue in Longwood/Altamonte was just so-so. Then 4Rivers opened and I have to tell its a great place to eat Q. Service was efficient and friendly and the food in the words of my friend is “slap your granny good”! Brisket, sausage, baked beans and corn bread were all on point.

Stopped in the 4 Rivers Smoke House in Longwood, right off the Longwood 434 exit. I had heard the restaurant was very good, so I thought why not give it a try. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Extremely friendly service from the time you walk in the door. Sophia was the first person to greet us and take our order. Since I never ate here before, I had a lot of questions. She didn’t rush me and made me feel very comfortable. I ordered a slider with two sides, bbq beans and corn. Everything was made to perfection and the sauces were excellent. My husband also ordered a slider with the bbq beans and the decadent bread pudding. Out of this world! I ordered a salted caramel bar. OMG! Did this hit the spot! They have indoor and outdoor seating, large and spacious. This place for me gets an A+. And, the prices are very reasonable. Kudos to manager Hilary.

This is my first time trying 4 Rivers Smokehouse. I had taste for some good BBQ. And it wasn’t that good. I had it delivered to me by Uber eats. The Mac and cheese was tasteless the brisket had a lot of fat on it. The ribs was good and tender. Season well. The green beans tasted a little sweet with a smoke taste.

I had a large order that I was picking up for a friend that just had a baby. It was so good and they enjoyed it so much. I love 4Rivers it’s the only BBQ that I will eat. It never disappoints!
