The Scene – From the alley, a flight of old stairs leads to a cluttered but cavernous cellar where novelties, antiques and just plain junk cram every square inch of wall and ceiling space. Friendly bartenders man the draughts, but the seasoned waiters dispense as much gruff and good-natured attitude as they do good food.

I miss the Rendezvous the most
by Shirley Sparks at Citysearch
I used to live in Memphis and at least once a week we ate at the Rendezvous. Best ribs I have ever eaten, great atmosphere and just all round best place to be. I enjoyed living in Memphis but the thing I miss the most is the Rendezvous and their ribs. If ever there, it is the place to eat. I order them since we live many miles from there now. That is how good they are!!!
- Pros: Best ribs ever
- Cons: None

AND i have an argument with the hostess,what a mean spirited individual....
I'll never be back

Not a Dry Rub Girl but these were the best Ribs EVER!!!
by AllieT at Citysearch
Love this place! Go as you are. No need to dress up...that's my kind of place!! Got seated, fed & out in less than an hour on a Friday night! Been ordering their spices & sauce for years. Found out my Dad and Mr. Vergos used to work together in the early 60's in Memphis. Made going there that more special. SO HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO GO EAT THERE!!! Atmosphere is great, service is awesome and love the fact that I can order all their food online & have it delivered in less than 24 hours!! Rendezvous IS A MUST if you're in Memphis!!!
- Pros: So easy to find...right around the corner from Mud Island
- Cons: NONE!!!

Look Good:
If you're having trouble spotting the entrance, just keep this in mind: it's across the street and down the alley from the famous Peabody Hotel.
The Extras:
If you're just visiting Memphis and have a desperate need for some dry-rubbed goodness once you're back home, Rendezvous offers mail-ordered ribs.
Parking:
Parking is a pain in this area, so it's best to park in the pay garage next to the restaurant.
