A favorite with Memphians, this restaurant is where they take visitors for fun atmosphere and food. Technically, the ribs served at the Rendezvous are not barbecue—they are char-grilled with a dry rub of spices. But the slabs of ribs are huge, tender and reasonably priced. Barbecue sandwiches—filled with rich and juicy shreds of pork—as well as portions of both pork and beef ribs is a specialty here. Antique implements, signs and artifacts of the old South fill the warehouse-like space. The tables are close together, but the noise and crowds are part of the fun.

The Rendezvous is the place that made me never want wet ribs again. They set the standard for dry rub ribs for me. That was 17 years ago. I too...
Horrible ribs - not just dry rub - dry, tough meat, rude hostess, horrendous cole slaw.
