Why 4 Rivers?

At 4 Rivers, we're passionate about great food, genuine hospitality and creating opportunities for our people to grow.

Our kitchens are built around scratch cooking and quality ingredients, while our restaurants are built around the people who bring that food and hospitality to our guests. We want leaders who can bring those two sides together and help their teams succeed.

Whether your background is primarily service, kitchen or a combination of both, we'd love to hear from you.

If you're ready for your next leadership opportunity, apply today and come grow with the 4 Rivers family!

4 Rivers Smokehouse began with the launch of the “Barbecue Ministry” in 2004, when John hosted a cookout fundraiser to support a local family whose young daughter was battling cancer. This one event resulted in a passion for supporting local schools, churches, and charitable organizations. After trials, tribulations, and a whole lot of burnt ends, we finally flipped that “Hot Brisket Now” sign on in October of 2009. Within the first hour, a line had formed out the door…and then around the corner.
