This place has some of the most wicked seasoned bbq you'll ever eat. I hate it's closed on Sunday and Monday. I devoured everything like a mad pig. People gave this place bad reviews because they don't have taste buds. Beware of that Rendevous serves spicy hot soul food that will make you come back for more!

It seemed like everyone told us that we had to have Rendezvous BBQ when we moved to Memphis. We were not impressed with it at all. They do have a great BBQ sauce but that was about it. Because the building was so old and "underground" it had a damp smell to it. The ribs we had were very fatty and it was not what I expected. Maybe it was because so many people pumped us up on it being great food that we got such a bad taste in our mouth, maybe it was just the atmosphere or the food in general. I would recommend the sauce though!!

More Info
- General Info
- The Rendezvous, founded by Charlie Vergos in 1948, started out as an 80 seat tavern serving ham and cheese sandwiches. When Charlie cleaned out the basement beneath his diner, he discovered a coal chute and started a barbecue legend. The coal chute gave Mr. Charlie a vent for his considerable talent over the grill. He developed a unique seasoning fusing his Greek heritage with spices he enjoyed from New Orleans. Mr. Charlie was a collector and hung antiques, memorabilia, and artwork on the walls. This, along with a soulful jukebox, lively waiters, and aromas from the kitchen helped him to create an atmosphere unequalled in the city of Memphis. Today, the restaurant is run by Mr. Charlie's three kids, but the ribs still taste the same as they did in the beginning.
