Review: 4 Rivers Smokehouse
4 Rivers Smokehouse is small central Florida chain that has recently moved into Gainesville, Florida. The 4 Rivers website describes themselves as a sophisticated Texas-style smokehouse. I think I would describe them as trendy. Sophisticated just doesn't fit with BBQ. We have tried several BBQ places in Florida claiming to be "Texas-style" and 4 Rivers … Continue reading Review: 4 Rivers Smokehouse
