Perfect brisket and great sauces. Other good barbecue restaurants do their meats well but fail terribly with their sides. 4 Rivers sides are exceptional. Everything was well prepared. Fast service. Casual setting with a great view on the balcony.
We visited the 4Rivers in Jacksonville, Fla over a month ago. It was great. We decided to try the one here in Atlanta. The fried okra was hot and delicious. The only issue we had was the BBQ meats were not hot (temp wise). Not as good as Jacksonville, but hopefully will get better...
There are a lot of great BBQ places in Atlanta that I love, so when my husband insisted I try 4 Rivers Smokehouse I kinda had a "meh" attitude. This didn't take long to change. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. Each time I have visited I try something different and have not been disappointed.
Stopped in at 4R on a Thursday evening for an early dinner. Chatted with the server and found out it's a Texas style joint. He gave me a tasting of the just finished brisket which was tasty so I went for it. Definitely the best brisket in Atlanta, possibly the best I have had ever. It's definitely fatty, which I love but it's not everyone's cup or tea. In term of the sides, they were all pretty solid, a little on the salty side. Only complain (and the one star deduction) was the not fully cooked cornbread, which was mushy in the mouth...
The staff was friendly when we came in. I tried the signature Angus brisket with mac and cheese and fries. They gave the cashier a wooden board full of juicy beef and he started cutting it up for my sandwich, which tasted awesome. My wife had the Texas Destroyer,m which is Angus beef with onions, jalapenos, and cheese. The signature BBQ sauce was a little plain for my taste but the hot BBQ sauce had some good kick to it. The fries were crinkled cut and came out freshly cooked. The fountain drinks only had one diet so I would have liked something besides diet coke (like coke zero). Overall, great fresh food, good atmosphere, and reasonable prices.
Very glad to have found this place just below west midtown. We will for sure return to this place and become regulars. The staff here are very friendly and made our experience enjoyable. The food was also very delicious. The only recommendation I have is keeping the food warmer somehow.
This is now my favorite BBQ spot. The wings with Buffalo / BBQ sauce are FIRE!!! The ribs are tender with smoke flavor. The side and also very good. I will be back here soon!
Really tasty BBQ in midtown. The portions are huge for the prices on offer. Also, the signature dishes are well thought out. The flavor combinations work really well, the signature hot and BBQ sauces are a must try.
The meat is the star of this place. Our brisket melted on the tongue like butter. The burnt ends were incredible as were the St. Louis Ribs and the Smoked Turkey. I loved the flavor of the Tri Tip but was a little disappointed in the cut we were served. It was hard to slice across the muscle tissue with a plastic knife. That aside, the chimichurri sauce should be bottled and sold. The sides we selected for our Pitmaster Combo were tasty and not overly greasy or dry. The service was really slow and the young girl on the counter didn't quite appear to know what she was doing. I'm hoping the service will improve. Next to B's Cracklin', 4Rivers is a fab addition to the BBQ scene in ATL.
Ordered the 2x2 with pulled pork, brisket, mac, and collards. Both meats were smokey, tender, and very juicy. Plenty of flavor in both the brisket and the pulled pork, and like someone else said they don't really need any sauce. If you do go for the sauce, they have two options: signature and hot. Try the hot....they didn't need it but I had to try them anyway! The mac was cheesy and creamy, none of the runny cheese nonsense. Collards were also just right with a nice hint of acidity. Portion sizes were perfect for the price. They definitely didn't skimp on the protein.
I left with a smile on my face, and they'll definitely see me there again soon. Lots more on the menu to for me to try.
