We used Johnny Rebs for our holiday lunch at the office and the food was great. They went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of which made my job easier. Thank you Mo and the Johnny Rebs team for great food and great services!
We bought the Thanksgiving Feast and it was delicious. The smoked turkey was so good & easy to reheat. We got a pound of ham & that melted in our mouths....really good. The sides...mushroom dressing, mashed potatoes & mac n cheese were really good. Greens needed more flavor and needed to be cooked just a bit longer. Dessert was a delicious peach cobbler. Overall really good dinner & dessert. I would definitely buy this feast again. Thank you JRTS.
