Johnny Rebs' Southern Roadhse

A gold mine of REAL BBQ in the OC!. Great down home feel, comfortable environment! From the moment my boyfriend sat down we felt like we had been welcomed back home by family. The drinks quenched my boyfriends huge thirst which is quite an impossible task given the fact that he is a professional extreme sports athlete. The free peanuts are definitely a cool idea and you can toss them on the floor when your done, which made me feel quite rebellious! The fixins' are a great (we had mashed potatoes, an bitty bits' salad with THE best ranch i have ever had, and macaroni and cheese) and I find it hard to believe that you can get FREE second helpins on such tasty sides!!!!Anyways our server was David, who was very outgoing and friendly to both my boyfriend and myself, and he had really cool tattoos too!!! I must say that this is a very unique place where you shouldn't rush through your dinner and get out the door, if you want that go to Dennys. I hear that they even have a "country night" where they have live bands/musicians come in and play. Our overall experience was great and although it is a bit of a drive for us we will gladly make it on a weekly basis to enjoy our new favorite bbq joint!!…

Johnny Rebs BBQ, Orange...I warn you....a COMPLETE waste of time!. My girlfriend decided to take myself and two other friends there last Friday night for a apparently good old home cooked BBQ meal. I decided to give it a try.....that was where we went wrong.... 1. Showed up roughly 7PM on Friday night....was told 30 minute wait....ok....waited about 30 minutes for a table for 4 and when was seated noticed that half the restaurant was empty....why the 30 minute wait...clearly there was probably a under stafffing issue. Ok fine....

2. Was not greated for about 10-15 minutes only to have a apparently stressed female server on a clear power trip approach us like it was a complete hassle for her to serve us. Did not take any orders or drink orders...we were clearly ready order as the menus sat at edge of table and we twiddled our thumbs for 20 minutes.

3. A different employee approached us and took our drink orders....brought those and forgot our water we had to ask a third employee for water.

4. Where was our server to take our order???? Who knows??? Finally we order about 20-25 minutes later...

5. Now with a "combo meal" where you choose two items for i think $18.95 you expect a decent amount of food.....nope I ordered pork ribs (was 4 small pieces) and hot links (2 small hot links) but there were two sides...macaroni and cheese (which everyone in my group ordered and everyone did not eat because had absolutly no flavor) and BBQ Baked Beans (which tasted as they were cooked hours in advance and heated up....were very hot and tasted burned)

Long story made short. It was $100 for 4 people excluding and alcoholic drinks and we ended up driving through In and Out on our way home....FYI its right down the street....

This place is absolutly horrible, the service is horendous and dont even waste your time!!! I will never go back...I am usually not this mean I would just like to give fair warning before anyone decides to try for the first time. This place S#CKS!…

the best!. great food the best sweet tea and nothing beats peanuts on the floor. the place its self is fun to look at and the peach cobbler is great. very nice people but make sure to get there on the weekdays for the steaks they may run out on a sunday. some of the best bbq i've had in a while. and there dinner for 2 for $30 i highly recommend you get a little of everything…
