What’s cooking at 4 River Smokehouse this summer?
We were invited to join John Rivers, 4R Restaurant Group Founder/CEO, in his private test kitchen for an exclusive preview of the new “Endless Summer of BBQ” dishes he’s dreamt up for 4 Rivers Smokehouse.
We enjoyed a first glimpse (and taste) of the new “Endless Summer” menu featuring limited-time-only specials available at 4 Rivers Smokehouse locations (excluding downtown Orlando and Atlanta locations) from Monday, June 3 to Saturday, August 3.
Here are the new “Endless Summer of BBQ” Menu Items for 4 Rivers Smokehouse:

3. Lemon Basil Raspberry Cupcake

The “Endless Summer of BBQ” menu will also feature healthier plant-based options with the debut of 4Roots Salads, with a portion of the proceeds from each salad sold being donated to the 4Roots Farm & Agriculture Center. The 4Roots salads also can have meat added to upon request.
