Mac & Cheese Brisket bowl w/side of Bread Pudding.
Adrian P.

A great BBQ Spot to go to! The food options all looked amazing and the smell when you first walk in hits the spot. Tried the mac & cheese brisket bowl which had everything you could want in a bbq bowl. Paired it with a side of bread pudding which was by far one of the best ive tried. I was very impressed with the service and how nice the staff were. Indoor and outdoor seating and cornhole game outside for after you eat. Will be visiting again!

I met some friends for lunch last week and we ended up here after discovering our regular meeting spot was closed. To begin with, parking was a huge challenge for everyone in our group. Several businesses share the parking lot so it's always busy. Basically it's fast food style service. You line up, place your order, pay, then carry your tray to an open table. If you can't find a table inside then you can eat outside. Drinks are self serve with Pepsi products. I tried the limited time available Pulled Pork Bowl. Not impressed. Way too much rice and not enough pork. I'll stick to the platter choices in the future.

Nearly nothing can top homemade bbq, but 4rivers sure gives it a run for its money. The establishment is a "quick service" style where you order at the counter and they make your place in front of you. I've visited several times but most recently, ordered the 1x2 platter, one meat and two sides. I chose the pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, and green beans. In addition, I added on a side of corn bread. This meal was scrumptious and everyone in my party enjoyed.

Pros: 4 Rivers barbecue is always delicious. All their meats were moist and sauced well. And if you want more sauce, they have their two signature sauces at every table. Service is always so nice. They're very friendly and know that menu like the back of their hands. I also like how they've started doing seasonal specials along with their classics. Keeps me wanting to come back to try the new stuff. Cons: No real cons. The side portions have gone down in recent years, but hey, it is a pandemic. Tips: Get the bread pudding, please. It's delicious, and it's rotating. There's a new one every few months. If you're feeling mischievous, get the vegan burnt ends and see if someone you're with can tell the different. They taste so good!

I've been to many 4 Rivers in my life, and since they're a chain, a small chain, but a growing chain nonetheless, you expect a certain amount of standardization in their food, not only visit-to-visit, but also location-to-location. Well, around the pandemic time, quality and standard went down around 4 Rivers, I think we can all agree on that, but in recent years, it seems like they've had a resurgence of quality, and this trip was absolute aces for me. The kids say that, right? Anyway, I came here one evening for dinner. Quaint little counter service place with most of their food on display, people filing down, picking what they want. Pretty large dining room, lots of community tables, with them expecting you to sit down with strangers and strike up a conversation. Service is always top notch. Very friendly folks, people always coming by offering to get you more napkins or a refill on your drink, even the management! Another thing they've been doing lately is having seasonal specials on their menu. That's relatively new, and I actually got one of those items this time, it was some sort of Nashville hot fried chicken tender sandwich. So delicious. Perfectly fried, crispy tender, covered in just enough sauce, on a very toasted roll, sitting only on a bed of green. It was just perfect. I had a side of fried okra, too, and it was nice. Crispy, not oily, not slimy. What else can you ask for? We also split a three meat platter with a couple of sides. Pulled pork, good. It's not saucy, though, so expect to sauce it yourself. Brisket, also good. Not too fatty, just right. What I came here for specifically was to try their Vegan Burnt Ends. Beyond Meat did it again. I swear, if you blind tasted this, you may not guess that they're supposed to be burnt ends, but you would definitely guess that it was meat of some sort. Even if they didn't scream burnt ends, they screamed delicious. I'm excited by the evolution of this technology, letting vegetarians and vegans be able to enjoy in BBQ cuisine without feeling too left out. As for the sides we got to share, the Mac & Cheese was good. Not very toothsome, but very cheesy. Just make sure to sprinkle on some black pepper. But the star of the sides at 4 Rivers has to be their Bread Pudding (Fresh brioche bread baked in a creamy custard and crushed pineapple, cinnamon, and raisins, and topped with homemade doughnut glaze). Their bread pudding rotates quarterly, and it's always been something delicious. Well-soaked, cooked throughout, you get one of the crispy bits on top sometimes. Just good. Overall, 4 Rivers is knocking it out of the park. Not the best BBQ in town anymore, but always giving out five star experiences to all who come.

Brisket Sandwich and Baked Beans

There is an outdoor and indoor seating area. You get in line to order food. The line moved quickly. The Brisket Sandwich was tasty just not enough meat. I ordered a wet sandwich for moisture. I like their barbecue sauce. I tried the new Maple Sauce and did not like it. They have a hot sauce option too. The fries were good but only half full. They have a wide drink selection. There was a Blueberry Cobbler Cake in the case that looked delicious.

4 Rivers has recently gained some great competitors in our area, with more BBQ food trucks turning into brick-and-mortar restaurants. I loved 4Rivers when they first opened, but I feel the flavor has changed a bit over the years. I like a classic BBQ sandwich, so I ordered the Signature Angus Brisket with two sides, fries, and coleslaw. I do like their coleslaw. It is good! My brisket was juicy and tender. Next time I would order without the bun. The taste of the brisket kind of got lost with the rich bread. My husband ordered the Messy Pig, and my mother-in-law got the ribs. The food was good, don't get me wrong. The location has plenty of seating indoors and outdoors and a sink in the dining area to wash your hands after eating. This is a nice touch since BBQ can get messy. Service was great. The line was moving quickly and our order came out fairly quickly.

I always enjoy a good pulled chicken sandwich from here. Lots of choices for sides but my favorite is the macaroni & cheese, corn, cornbread that's a perfect mix of sweet & tad kick of spice and finished with Bananas fosters bread pudding! They have vegan options too! Plus they offer their house made BBQ sauce at each table. The service was phenomenal. I was greeted immediately and all my questions were answered about combos. Phillip was so sweet. He came around checking all the tables on several occasions. He offered to get refills, he ensured everyone's food was enjoyable and they way the wanted it, he even got another table cornbread warmed as she stated she likes it hot. Phillip went above and beyond for every customer sitting in the dining room. He took the time to speak to the customer on a personal level. That says ALOT about him as unfortunately I feel this is a forgotten gift to give to customers! The outside and inside were immaculate. Phillip was hustling on the table cleaning. All the stations were stocked and ready for customers! We've ate at the 4Rivers Longwood location several times, plus had them cater my daughter's graduation and made a cake for my daughter's birthday. Great place that really cares for their customers and their image! Cheers

We came here on a Friday afternoon for a late lunch. It wasn't terribly busy but there were a good amount of people there. There are both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The service was okay. The staff wasn't the friendliest, and was dismissive/short with how they responded to questions. When ordering I felt rushed by the girl behind the counter as well. The food was really good! We enjoyed everything we had! The prices are a bit higher, but overall portions were very fair. I would consider coming back if in the area, but would likely not go out of my way just because the service was just okay.

4 Rivers is a local BBQ favorite of ours! Every visit is a mouthwatering journey, but our favorite thing has to be the moist brisket. It is tender, juicy, and packed with that signature smoky goodness, it's a slice of barbecue paradise on a plate or bun! And as if the savory delights weren't enough, 4 Rivers also boasts an array of delectable desserts that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Their cakes are not only delicious but also beautifully crafted for any occasion, whether it's a birthday bash or the most special day of your life, like your wedding! I have been to the Winter Park and Longwood locations, I find Longwood to be a little less crowded and the employees are always friendly!

Their motto is "Brownies make everything better." and they are not wrong. There are a few tables outside and a few more seats inside the cute purple interior but you will be immediately drawn to the brownie case. Brownies are $4 and they are quite large. I was only going to buy one but after checking out the weekly flavors the next thing I knew I was walking out with a box of four! I couldn't say no to Cookie Bliss, Candy Brookie, Mocha Brownie, and Pineapple Upside Down. Once you pick your flavors they add the finishing touches and box them up. I didn't catch the young man's me who helped me but he did end up in a picture. He was so friendly and welcoming, a true asset to Melt Brownie. I believe they drop new flavors every Friday. If you download the app you can earn a free brownie. The also sell mini brownies, brownie cakes, brownie cheesecakes, and coffee. I didn't try my brownies until I got back to South Florida but when did I was blown away by how good they are. They are super sweet and I could have probably skipped the extra icing on top. If you like your brownies decadently rich, then these are for you. One brownie lasted me a long time. I ended up cutting each one into bite sized pieces and sharing my bounty. The brownies were very moist and they stayed fresh in the fridge for the whole week. I liked them cold but you can also just let them sit out a bit until they reach room temperature. All of the flavors were phenomenal but I really love pineapple and coffee so the Pineapple Upside Down and Mocha were the two tops for my taste. Fortunately for my waist line and blood sugar, Melt Brownie is a three hour drive for me otherwise I would be in serious trouble. Melt Brownie will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Here's the description: Fudge brownie base, layered in peanut butter mousse, rich chocolate cake, topped with brownie chunks, peanut butter chips, and drizzled in fudge. Sounds good, huh? Well, sorry to burst your bubble but THE TEXTURE WAS RIDICULOUS GUMMY, almost glutinous. Maybe they were going for richness, but it was just beyond enjoyment. The texture even overwhelmed the low quality chocolate and peanut flavors. So many slices were doled out, but I saw many plates abandoned after just one bite. Annie's cake items are now distributed by the David's Cookies brand, so maybe quality has diminished as opposed to before? Not sure. This was my first and last time trying this product and will never place a personal order with them.

They pride themselves on being one of the best in their field in Central Florida. For those of you who LOVE sugary treats and prefer to have dessert before the main course of a meal, this is a place you should check out as soon as you can. It seems that cakes are their biggest demand, but Annie's excels in pies, cheesecake and individual creations as well. As far as the cakes go, they have a wide variety of flavors to choose from which include the traditional chocolate and vanilla, in addition to amaretto, apple spice and chambord. The icing is like heaven in your mouth and pairs so well with the cake not only in flavor but silky texture too. Annie's can create combinations that you won't find in most bakeries. They can bake cakes for special occasions like weddings and birthday parties...or cater to banquet events. As for the other stuff, it depends on what tickles your fancy. Personally, I'm not a cheesecake person...the texture just weirds me out and I've never been a big fan of cream cheese to begin with. However, I hear that it's pretty darn amazing and worth trying. The milky way cheesecake sounds amazing on paper and looks mouth watering in person. Their individual creations are basically mini cakes that are perfect for one or possibly two people to indulge in. Plus, for those who are watching their sugar in take you too can indulge in these sweet sensations because Annie's makes no sugar added desserts. So you can have your cake and eat it too! As a business, they seem pretty strong and make it a point to take care of their customers...clearly that's what will keep them around for a long time. Like most bakeries of this kind, they're not cheap, but worth the price if you can afford it. Overall, I'm most definitely a fan! DO IT!
