Save your money and skip this place! Never again would I waste my time or money! Sat us and upon sitting; our water glasses were filthy with lipstick stains on them. Seating is literally on top of each other where you could join in on the conversation w the people next to you. Hostess sat us a tiny table two seater where you couldn’t even fit your plates on it then people after us got seated at bigger tables that were also parties of 2. Then came the food, absolutely disgusting- bland and no flavor! Also overpriced! Manager and owner was mad that we called to complain and actually swore at us using the f word! Unreal and appalling!
⸻ Save your money and skip this place. Never again would I waste my time or money here. We were seated and immediately handed water glasses with lipstick stains on them — disgusting. The seating is so cramped you might as well join the conversation with the table next to you. We were put at a tiny two-seater where the plates didn't even fit, while multiple couples who came in after us were given larger tables. Then came the food... absolutely horrible. Bland, no flavor, completely overpriced — it genuinely sucked, and when we let them know how disappointed we were, they didn't care at all. No apology, no accountability, no attempt to fix anything. Instead, the manager/owner actually got mad that we called to complain and even swore at us, using the F-word. Completely unprofessional and appalling. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place — there are too many good restaurants out there to waste your money on one that treats customers like this.
Had the Blackened Cod Sandwich and it was amazing. Honestly one of the most flavorful things I’ve ever eaten
We love Rebel. The menu includes a lot of choices for a lot of variety and we have enjoyed all of the items we've ordered. The employees are always pleasant and really seem to love their jobs. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly. The service is quick and we never feel as if we're taking up too much time as we like to relax and catch up with our friends! I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try! You will not be disappointed!
Appetizers were great, and overall everyone really enjoyed their meal. I was the only one who had been there before and the other five were impressed and plan to go back.
I don't think we'd return. The only person that was attentive to us was the bus boy and the guy bringing out the food. The waitstaff was more interested in huddling together chit chatting vs serving or taking our order. It's unfortunate because the website made it look promising. Kinda overpriced and really poor service.
My friend mentioned it as great food and plenty of GF options. Great place. We'll be back again!
Absolutely loved every minute of my dining experience. Not only was the food fresh (I had the Grouper) and seasoned deliciously, the service was impeccable! Oh, and the drinks were spot on! Best HONEY Old Fashioned ever!

The staff was great. They checked on us. They took our order well. The service was quick. They were attentitive, but not overly so and super nice and kind. The atmosphere was great as well. It was a nice day to sit out on the patio (there were a few bugs (bees to be exactly, but we were the ones that chose to sit outside). They have some pretty good shading if the sun is right above you, but it was good overall in terms of staff and service. My discontent comes to the quality of the food...We ordered just about 1 of everything off the happy hour menu (too be honest, it runs on the slightly price-y side considering it's a HH menu). The food came out cooked well (especially the calamari), but a lot of the foods didn't actually have much flavor whatsoever (and there was no salt or pepper on the table to add flavor). The food, in the end, was quite underwhelming and not worth the price they were charging. For example, we finished with a skillet cookie a la mode, but it was super undercooked - the cookie was more soup-like with no crisp from the skillet at it (it was like they pulled it from the oven just as it was starting to cook. The fried pickles were bland (nice big chips...fried to perfection...but no pickle taste...while also no cucumber taste - go figure). The cheese curds were not consistent in side and tasted mostly of the paprika that was sprinkled on them...so there's that. The grilled chicken cesar salad, the chicken was cooked well, the salad was over dressed, but the dressed wasn't super flavorful. The spinach artichoke dip was heavy on the cream cheese and not very dip-y.

Went in Friday night with 2 girlfriends who had not been there before! Not only is the food and drinks phenomenal, but met the nicest young man who helped with our service. High school student, Ben thank you so much! He was attentive and very well mannered. When a young man looks you in the eye while conversing, in my opinion that’s everything that we need more of! Way to go Rebel for hiring him and the other members of your staff! We will definitely be back!

Only reason one star was taken off is because I booked this for a friends 27th birthday and in my reservation I selected occasion and said it was a birthday so was hoping they would do something even super small (maybe a pancake with a candle) for her to celebrate :/
Not one of the greatest meals we've had. Overpriced and the portion size was incredibly small.
Just ok. Small local spot is good for stopping in for apps and drinks, not the right choice for brunch. I booked for brunch and they did not even offer any iced lattes or coffees for brunch on a hot summer day.
We went there mid week and had a lovely lunch. Although our server Pamela was very busy she was friendly, polite and attentive. Johnny the owner has high expectations for his guests dining experience and visited our table to make sure everything was to our liking. We assured him that it was. Our food was delicious and the portions generous. Our pup enjoyed it too!
