Johnny Rebs Restaurant

As I am currently in rehab from a stroke, my review is based on my observations from the recovery point-of-view, in a wheelchair. The parking lot is dirt and gravel with no paving in sight except for the patch leading to the front door. Very difficult to wheel across. There are big steps up to the door and no ramp leading to it. They do have a ramp on the south side of the structure, although it looks like its only recent use is for storage. I was able to make it into the cramped interior via the ramp so that's a plus. The peanut shells on the floor made wheeling difficult, but not impossible. I was able to wheel up to the table that my group of friends were at. Fortunately, I had planned ahead and downloaded the menu in advance, so I knew what I wanted. I ordered the full rack of beef ribs, hush puppies, BBQ beans, and sweet potato fries, plus a lemonade to wash it all down. I should have thought it through a little more.

I ordered the full rack of beef ribs, hush puppies, BBQ beans, and sweet potato fries, plus a lemonade to wash it all down. I should have thought it through a little more. The beef ribs were meaty and juicy, but also had those fibrous pieces that held the meat to the bone. I've had some difficulty with my swallowing after the stroke, and those fibrous pieces initiated choking spasms. I should have ordered the BBQ chicken instead. But the food was delicious and met my expectations, so I won't blame them for my mistake. I didn't leave any room for dessert, but did try a few bites from everyone else who did. The pecan pie was very good and I'll save room for it the next time. I gave them four stars, mainly for the food (just loved the sweet potato fries!), but one less than five for the difficulties in getting through in a wheelchair. Note: the place burned down about a week later so I'll have to go back once it's rebuilt for a follow-up. less
