Peach cobbler is an old time favorite dessert of people of all ages. We start with a mixture of sliced peaches with syrup, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, sugar and other spices and top it with biscuit dough and cinnamon. This dessert is rich and at its best served heated a la mode. * A bite of culture: Peaches were first brought to the United States by the colonists who settled Virginia. They rapidly spread and became an important part of Southern life. Surprisingly, Georgia ("the Peach State") agriculture is based not on peaches, but on cotton and peanuts. * A bit of history: Cobbler was first developed as a way to use up leftover biscuit dough in the South. It is Johnny Rebs' most popular dessert, served hot.

The bratwurst adds a savory, slightly smoky flavor, while the jalapeños bring a spicy kick. The eggs can be prepared in various styles, such as scrambled or Sunny side up to complement the bold flavors of the bratwurst and jalapeños.

Johnny Rebs' beef ribs are from the back ribs of the cow. They are considerably larger than pork ribs; therefore, the number of ribs per plate is decreased despite the same weight as pork ribs. They are also rubbed with a blend of chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper, then smoked for approximately 2 hours. The skin is then removed and the racks are sliced into individual ribs. Our beef ribs are served with Smokehouse sauce; however, occasionally they are requested with North Carolina sauce. Although tender, the nature of beef is not as tender as pork. They are sold for carry out by the ½ or full rack (3 to 5 bones for us)

Southern Fried Chicken -The secret to Johnny Rebs' incredible fried chicken is the same as all other entrees: taking no shortcuts in preparation. Our fried chicken is made from scratch at the time of order. The pieces of chicken are dredged in a special recipe of seasoned flour, then deep fried in vegetable oil until golden brown. * A bite of quality: Our fried chicken takes l5 minutes to fry. Having experimented with other ways of decreasing our cooking time, we experienced a decrease in quality. Johnny Rebs' has decided to maintain our highest quality at the expense of an increased frying time. Tell guests about the long cooking time (about l5 minutes), which could lead to a wait of up to 20 to 30 minutes. Emphasize our authentic Southern fried chicken is worth the wait .Mildred's seasoned flour recipe has been in our family over 100 years..

Sensitive pallets should use caution when ordering blackened catfish. It will cause you to break a sweat. We take catfish filets and sprinkle them with a mixture of paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, and other blackening spices, and griddle until blackened.* A bite of culture: Blackening fish is a common method of cooking in the South. The process generates a burnt look which can be perceived as undesirable. This intentional blackening process should not be confused with burning, which is accidental.* A bite of caution: Occasional small bones are rarely found in catfish filets, but sometimes it does occur. As with any similar foods with natural inherent bones, a guest should use caution in consuming it Pride of the South. Includes two fixins and a bread.

Our Johnny Rebs' Special is a fine example of our authenticity. It is similar to our pork sandwich with southern slaw added to the bun and North Carolina in place of Smokehouse sauce. The pork (or chicken) is placed into a bowl and then North Carolina BBQ sauce is added. The two are thoroughly mixed and then the meat is placed on a grilled bun. Our own fresh coleslaw is scooped onto the top of the pork before the sandwich is closed.* A bite of culture: In the Carolinas, if you were to order any sandwich, it would probably be served with slaw unless you specified otherwise.

Key lime pie gets its name from the famous citrus region--the Florida Keys. We start out by making a graham cracker crust from graham cracker crumbs, sugar and margarine. Next we fill it with a rich homemade lime filling and bake. After cooling, we add a fresh real whipped cream topping, and it's ready to go. The end result is best described by tasting, but is similar in consistency to a lemon chiffon pie only made with limes and topped with real whipped cream. This dessert is light and fluffy, a perfect combination with BBQ. * A bite of culture: The traditional Florida Key Lime Pie is made from real Key limes. This variety of lime yields a pie with inherent bitterness. Johnny Rebs' has chosen instead to make our pie from less bitter limes

Greens are near and dear to true Southerners' hearts. It is rare to find properly cooked greens outside of the South. Many of our Southern guests are thrilled to find greens. Johnny Rebs' greens are cooked long and slow with smoked bacon, onion, celery, apple cider vinegar and a pinch of red pepper. The juice greens are served in is referred to as "pot likker." "Potlikker" is valued as a delicacy. The Southern Nectar of the Gods, it is alleged to possess aphrodisiacal powers. We recommend eating greens with a shake or two of pepper sauce (it's what the pepper sauce is for!
