At first glance, Johnny Rebs' looks like some sort of new Knott's Berry Farm attraction: The rickety-looking roadhouse is constructed with worn wooden planks, sheet metal and used brick, but it's all just a facade. Johnny Rebs' is actually the home of some of the best southern cooking and soul food in Orange County. Naturally, barbecue is king here. The ribs are a classic staple, but waiters confirm that the BBQ beef sandwich with a side of collard greens and sweet potato fries are the most common item ordered (of course, the fried catfish with southern slaw and hush puppies is a close second). If you have an hour to spare in the morning before work, indulge in the restaurant's old fashioned country breakfast: The barbecue omelet, the blackened catfish and eggs and the biscuits and gravy are just three of over 35 morning dishes in which to indulge.

Its Aight

Been there once because friends raved about it. Personally it just lacked a real southern flavor, the food that is.

Never again...
By Splitennz on 06/30/2008
I have been to Johnny Rebs 3 times. The first time was very intertaining, but the food was mediocre. The second time we had a rude waiter AND bad food. The final time ended with my refusal to pay for the bad food & service. Never again!
