Jacksonville native John Rivers' 4 Rivers Smokehouse is nothing short of a sensation. While living in Texas a dedication to mastering the art of smoked brisket inspired the ultimate conception of his brick and mortar flagship in Central Florida. Now, several locations later 4 Rivers Smokehouse is the most successful BBQ chain in Florida. The line out the door testifies to its local popularity where diners eagerly await their chance to sit family style around large picnic tables and dig into the best beef, pork, and chicken you can get your fingers on. Pair each meal with comforting sides "just like Mom's", like southern green beans, potato salad, and made from scratch corn bread. Top off the experience with a treat from the Sweet Shop and indulge in cake, cupcakes, brownies, and even fried oreos just to name a few.
