Johnny Rebs' True South - Bellflower

We went to johnny Rebs' in Bellflower. Outstanding is the best way to describe this place. My wife and I are visiting from arkansas (actually from Texas) and have been to a lot of BBQ joints from Memphis to Austin and this place rates right up there with them. I had the combo with pulled pork and baby ribs. Outstanding. The Cajun rice ranked about a 9 out of 10. The key lime pie was like home made. There were six of us and we all left stuffed. Great place to take your kids and throw your peanut shells on the floor. As for cost, it was on par with any BBQ joint I eat at in Little Rock or Austin. Finally, the service was a 10 out of 10. So, I highly recommend Johnny Rebs' in Bellflower.

Down Home Cooking. Johnny Rebs' is one of those down home restaurants where you can get some real southern cookin'. It's a no frills/casual place where you can eat food and have sticky fingers afterwards. The decor is rustic with wood everywhere you look. Each table has a metal bucket of peanuts in the shell. You can crack them on the table and scoop the remnants on the floor. What a great place to make a mess at your table and it's expected. : The menu is mostly bbq for lunch and dinner with other Louisiana and southern dishes such as jambalaya, gumbo and catfish. Breakfast includes grits and biscuits with many of the dishes. I hear that the sweet potato pancakes are amazing and plan to go back one day for breakfast. On this trip I ordered the BBQ Bowl from the lunch menu. It came with a choice of pork or beef (I got the pork , which covers a pile of cajun rice and choice of black eye peas (this is what I chose or pinto beans and slathered on top with bbq sauce. In addition to this mounding bowl of food, you also get a choice of hushpuppies, cornbread, or a biscuit. I decided to go with the Swamp Water to drink (lemonade with iced tea . All in all, very tasty and very filling. Johnny Rebs' reminds me of all the food I can get back in Louisiana when visiting family. And when you come to Johnny Rebs' forget about any diet you're on, because this place is very anti-diet.

Awesome spot reasonable prices decent service excellent food kicking atmosphere Plenty of parking in the rear of restaurant you want to make a strong first impression on a date come here lol

I've come here regularly. Flavor profiles are very consistent. Some of the staff are pretty new, it seems. My daughter and I sat outside. Jenny the bartender is extremely personable and always checks to make sure everything is ok. I had the chicken and waffle. It was slightly too greasy this time. I'd get it again. If you order it, try it with the jalapeno syrup.

Two locations. Same Brand. Different restaurant experiences. The Long Beach Boulevard location is a much smaller location with a more charming midwestern-like atmosphere. The Bellflower location is a much bigger space for families and/or larger parties. Both locations are consistent when it comes to taste; they recently switched the menu up which includes smaller portion sizes and excludes some favorites. But all-in-all, the food is great and the service is good. If you’re not up for listening to karaoke from patrons while eating and conversing with friends, then avoid this location on certain weekday evenings/nights; the sound can be overwhelming, to say the least. Best time is for lunch on weekdays or weekends.
