What diners say — our read

The 4.5-star average is misleading — almost nobody actually rated it that. Reviewers who mention the staff rate this place 4.9 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. After that, how long an order takes appears most often — 27% of the corpus, averaging 4.3.

More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 22 of 26. What nobody raises here is tidiness — it goes unmentioned across all 26 reviews. Of the 26 rated reviews, 23 sit at four stars or better and 3 at two or below.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (90/100), 1 high-priority and 2 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That result dates from April 13, 2026. That puts it ahead of 40% of graded kitchens in Osceola County. What the inspector actually wrote up: plumbing installed & maintained and garbage and refuse.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. Full reviews follow below in the order they were left.

    Brisket and Slice Pork was best we ever had. Buns were soft, meat was moist, excellent taste. Prices are average with other BBQ restaurants.

  • June 30, 2026

    Crazy fast service. The manager (misses) had the line working hard. Food was excellent as always! Second time this week I’ve had lunch there.

    We ordered take out. For my twins birthday party. After an hour it made it to us. The food tasted great got brisket, pulled pork, sausage. Fast forward 3 hours later. It got us all like a freight train. Guts let loose, people sicker than sick. 3 bathrooms occupied with a rotation of family members praying for it to stop. I have never in my life felt this bad from eating anywhere and I have ate at a lot of places. I had a 2 hour drive back home and it looks like I'll be staying here for the night. Can't chance the drive. So disappointed in this, went by star rating. I'll never eat here again. You can risk it, you can run that gauntlet if you like. As I'm typing this out sitting on the pot praying it stop. 0-10 would not recommend.

    We had a coupon and I wanted to treat my family from out of town to some BBQ. Wow, this place has been devastated by shrinkflation. I was so embarrassed at the insanely portioned food. My brother's sandwich literally only had like three tiny pieces of meat on it. My aunt's quesadilla was almost $13 and was smaller than a taco bell one. Truly disappointed. Don't recommend, it's not a good deal AT ALL.

    Great Bbq, very friendly

  • June 26, 2026

    Nilvette was amazing and provided excellent service just like the rest of the staff. The girls that served us our food were very helpful and answered all my questions. The food is an 11/10 I had interactions with about 5 staff members and every interaction was pleasant.

    We usually attend the 4Rivers by UCF but we were passing through the area and decided to stop by. The food and service never disappoint. Thanks so much.

  • June 25, 2026

    Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Nilvette & Leah were very polite. Definitely coming back and definitely 💯 recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Excellence service! Loved the recommendations of the new manager Nilvette. Loved that you have Spanish speaker.

  • June 23, 2026

    Online ordering would not work. Phone number listed on Google also would not work. However I just drove to the location and ordered our to go order for 10 people. The overall wait time was short and the staff was friendly and helpful. They were out of a few meats. But they had most of the items we wanted. Overall happy with 4 Rivers Smokehouse. Would eat here again.

    Personable staff and server, cashier and cook were considerate and responsive to my desires

    Zairia, ms jen and Nilvette were great!

    Excellent food and great service. Can't wait to to back for more of that moist brisket!

  • June 21, 2026

    Great service and delicious & quick eats!

  • June 21, 2026

    Absolutely delicious, the best bang for buck was the Happy Herd. The variety makes the family happy. We loved brisket, Texas sausage, pulled chicken and don’t skip on the burnt ends. We added Ribs- which were also amazing. The baked beans, southern Cole slaw, and fried okra cannot be topped for a restaurant of This type. 10/10 cannot wait to eat here again.

  • June 20, 2026

    First time hearing and loved it. The brisket is the best I've ever purchased at a restaurant. I will definitely be back when I come to the Kissimmee Florida area again!!

  • June 13, 2026

    Food is always great ! Very consistent!

  • June 12, 2026

    Made an order for pick up because it’s close to home and it was my birthday but my son needed dinner lol. Only bbq place that offers vegetarian options which is great for me! Did have an ooopsie. Got home and unpacked food got my son’s order and all my sides and dessert but my protein was missing. Luckily I live close by. Went back and (I’m sorry if I got the name wrong) Cara Ray was so sweet! She got me squat I was missing and even added another dessert for the inconvenience! My son and I use to frequent noodles and company for our “mom and son dates” but it closed. He decided we found our new place! Definitely will be back over and over!

    Really good BBQ. Pulled pork and brisket were both tasty. Beans are good but sweet. Cornbread is pretty good. Plenty of seats, indoor and on their patio. Abundant parking.

  • June 8, 2026

  • June 6, 2026

  • June 5, 2026
