Ribs. Try them plain (“dry”) first before asking for sauce. The charcoal-broiled lamb riblets—another nod to the place’s Greek ownership—are also a tasty change of pace from the pork onslaught Leia mais
I still prefer Central or Payne's BBQ. Very friendly staff, excellent ribs, and one of the few places to have mustardslaw. Being downtown it does tend to cater to the touristy crowd.
Their world-famous loin back ribs (Elvis loved ‘em) are grilled, naked, over a charcoal pit for 2 hours and then basted with vinegar, water, and a blend of Greek and Canjun seasonings. Leia mais
You must go! I had the brisket + ribs 😍 loved both! But the smoky seasoned ribs definitely are the best I've had. Plus, the place is right across a parking lot which makes it easier to get there.
Grabbed a Ghost Riverbeer while waiting for our table. Good Memphis style ribs- seasoned well and very meaty. Potato Salad, Sweet Tea, and Baked Beans were off the chain!
I believe that the Rendezvous has the best rib in the entire world. I like them so much, I ate there two night in a row. I'd travel at least 100 of miles out of my way to eat there if I was traveling.
The ribs were ok, honestly my husbands are better. But the brisket! Oh, my! The best I've ever had! Also, get the cheese and sausage plate & red beans & rice to share!
Thrillist Top BBQ List: go to this eclectic, awesome resto, and eat all that history in rib form. "What you're getting: Large order of the charcoal-broiled pork ribs, & sausage and cheeseappetizer"
Very unique rub they use for their ribs, definitely recommend you try it. Brisket & nachos also good. Cool vibe as well, nice staff. Only negatives were limited side options.
Outstanding BBQ. Well worth the wait. The prices are reasonable. The ribs and chicken are outstanding. The rub and sauces live up to the hype. Must try in Memphis.
The ribs and brisket were top level, the decoration of the restaurant was so beautiful, and the people working there very very nice, some of them have been working 43 years there
For any BBQ enthusiast, it's worth making the pilgrimage. Get the ribs, since that's what they're famous for. Also try the cheese plate, sprinkled with their special seasoning.
I've eaten plenty of great ribs at the MIM BBQFestival. These are not my favorite. I absolutely love their BBQ Nachos. Red Beans & Rice are fantastic as well!
If you favor dry rub ribs, it's worth experiencing the unique ambiance of this place. Otherwise, there's far better BBQ to be found at Bar-B-Q Shop and Central BBQ.
Greek Salad with chicken is amazing!! The chicken is beyond flavorful and the homemade dressing tastes as good (if not better) than what I had in Greece.
The best dry ribs ANYWHERE!! Anything off this menu is stellar!! Great atmosphere!! Service is amazing! Well worth the trip down the stairs to grab some amazing barbecue!!
The dry rub ribs. The place is easy to get to once you get your bearings but a little off the beaten path, and parking is not so easy. But you don’t come to drive you? Come eat!
A true Memphis staple, but not the best BBQ in the city. Worth going to if you're a tourist... Just to say you've been there! Get the meat/cheese plate. BBQ nachos good too. best slaw I've ever had
Choosing a favorite Memphis barbecue spot is like choosing a favorite child, but we give this basement joint top billing for its vinegar-soaked, spice-crusted ribs.
Far from Memphis' best! There are smaller places in the city that smash Rendezvous. The meat is absolutely boring without saucing it and the sauce is well, to cinnamony. The waiter was top notch!
I know people who have said these are the best ribs they've ever had. I disagree and thought it was overrated. (I LOVE dry-rub ribs). Go to Corky's in Collierville or Memphis, et al.
Showed up with a big group (20+people) got sat in no time right before closing, had great service, but the ribs by that point were a little dry :( the rub itself was delicious
Made our South's Best List! If you're feeling adventurous, with 24-hours notice, you can enjoy an iron skillet filled with 5-pounds of barbecue shrimp. Leia mais
The dry rub ribs are the specialty, but I’ve found them to be hit or miss. Maybe something to do with inconsistent heat on their coal chute smoker. When they’re done right, these ribs are hard to beat
The Rendezvous has been serving ribs in a downtown Memphis alley... since 1948. It has been owned and operated by the Vergos family for three generations. If you want to eat like a local Memphian, start with a pitcher of beer & cheese/sausage plate and soak in the atmosphere.(Mostrar mais)
