The rumors are true: all of Florida State's southern, barbeque and comfort food cravings are finally being addressed by Seminole Dining.

Coming soon to the Oglesby Union, and ironically replacing Salad Creations as a highly-anticipated - and significantly less healthy option - 4 Rivers Smokehouse is destined to attract huge crowds upon opening. Even beyond the grand opening, the line that 4R is sure to permanently have out its doors is something that most of the student body will gladly embrace with open arms (sorry, vegans and vegetarians).

Founded by FSU alum John Rivers in 2009, 4R features a variety of classic, southern-style options that Rivers describes as, "sophisticated, de-regionalized barbecue." Similarly to Salad Creations, customers can go down the assembly line of options and customize their meals to fit their favorite combinations. Although the BBQ restaurant will replace one of the few vegetarian outlets on campus, 4R will provide several meatless options such as salad.

An opening date has yet to be announced.
