4 Rivers Smokehouse
A popular counter-serve BBQ spot specializing in Texas-style smoked meats along with classic homestyle sides. They stand out for offering a unique vegan burnt ends sandwich that has earned loyal fans, although vegan options are very limited. Service is friendly and attentive, with convenient outdoor seating and takeout available, but the venue relies on single-use plastic which some guests find disappointing.
