Description:

  • The Rendezvous has been a downtown Memphis institution since 1948, and it has a well-deserved reputation for serving the best ribs in town. You can see the food being prepared in an old open kitchen as you walk in, but more important, your sense of smell will immediately perk up as the fragrance of hickory-smoked pork wafts past. You'll also likely be intrigued by all manner of strange objects displayed in this huge but cozy cellar. And when the waiter comes to take your order, there's no messin' around; you're expected to know what you want when you come in -- an order of ribs. Also be sure to ask if they still have any of the red beans and rice that are served nightly until the pot is empty. This Memphis landmark is tucked along General Washburn Alley, across from the Peabody Hotel. Upstairs, you'll find a large bar.
