The Rendezvous

We loved Rendezvous - we went there on our very first night in Memphis because we had heard so much about it. BBQ is what it's all about in Memphis (we were there for the Memphis In May BBQ Championship, after all), and Rendezvous was worth it. Quick and easy service, a pleasant server, great atmosphere - it can't be beat!

If you want real Memphis hospitality and barbecue, the Rendevous has it all. Located in a small alley adjacent to the famous Peabody Hotel, this restaurant offers excellent food and fast service with the southern flavor.

Although is is a Memphis institution, I cannot fully appreciate the Rendezvous. It is noted for its ribs and other barbequed foods. When I was there, it was hot, the service was slow, and the prices very high for the foods offered. I would go elsewhere for Memphis barbeque.

I kept hearing about the Rezendesvous so it was my first stop for the ribs I was craving. The place was packed it was around 5:30 pm on a Friday. After what we thought was going to be a looong wait we were called after 15 minutes. You can wait in the bar area, which we did and the bartender announced to the crowd, "we have a few yankees in the house".:) Once called we were seated by the oh so lovable Percy, who was singing along with the music and just enjoying his job.
We ordered an appetizer of cheese & sausage for $5.95 and it consisted of sliced cheese, smoked sausage, peppers, and pickles sprinkled with Lawry's and you got small packages of saltine's. It was good simple eatin'. For our meal we both ordered a 1/2 slab of ribs, that came with bbq beans, slaw and rolls, and we got southern sweet tea to drink ( fresh brewed with a lot of sugar). The ribs are dry ribs that are seasoned with a variety of spices and you are given a few bottles of bbq sauces ranging from mild to hot. The ribs were very good, somewhat meaty and tender on the bone. The sides were very tasty. Overall I enjoyed my meal.
It is a popular place that you enter through a back alley but it is a place where they feed you and move you on so that the next party can enjoy the place too.

We had a long wait ... but it was worth it! (We couldn't make reservations.)
The food to eat here is ribs. They are dry ribs, heavily seasoned (lots of paprika, plus more!) with the barbecue sauce on the side. Ribs came with 'slaw, dinner rolls, and beans, and were the best any of us had ever tasted.
They even deliver ribs via Federal Express...within the United States. (Reminded us of a certain M*A*S*H episode...!) Call 1-888-HOGS-FLY for more information.
