Quote: For a city which hosts the largest barbeque festival in the country, Memphis in May, it is no surprise that some of the best barbeque and ribs can be had here. In 2002, on my first visit to Memphis, a local resident introduced me to some of the... Read the full Rendezvous review

Quote: I must say that this place must live off of reputation (past), because I have never had worse BBQ in my life--dry, nasty, no flavour, bad service with bad attitudes to boot. JUST PASS on this tourist trap!

Quote: Be warned that Memphis' Famous Rendezvous Restaurant has a challenging entrance. It's listed as 52nd South Second Street, but when you're on Second Street, all you can see is Erika's German Restaurant. If you take a second look, you might see the... Read the full Rendezvous review

Quote: This is a tourist trap and Southern cliché, but alas, THE best barbeque in Memphis, and therefore, on planet Earth. The dry-rub ribs are absolutely to die for, and they have onion-ring loaf and cold beer. It is what I would order for my last meal.... Read the full Rendezvous review

Quote: Everyone from bellhops to busboys at other restaurants recommended this place for its dry-rub ribs, so we were expecting the best! There was an NBA game that night, so it was crowded, but we didn't mind the wait. When we were seated, though, the... Read the full Rendezvous review
