Big slabs of ribs at Charlie Vergos’ Rendezvous, with staff

 

Charlie Vergos’ Rendezvous is known for ribs—but our writers adored the chicken and lamb as well.

DOWNTOWN.   This well-known establishment has been serving ribs since 1948 and welcomes thousands of visitors every year. The walls are adorned with interesting bits of historical memorabilia, but the real draw is barbecued ribs, which can even be shipped throughout the USA if you're not near Memphis. The pork loin plate is reason alone for a trip. No-nonsense, friendly service will have your food on the table in no time.   (© 10Best)

This restaurant has spent 60 years serving consistently mouthwatering pork ribs. You may have to wait for a table on Friday and Saturday nights (no weekend reservations for groups of fewer than 25), but the downstairs bar is also nice. (from Southern Living)

Fake opinions
There is no way that more people dislike than love this place. All of you mindless slugs that leave negative comments for no other reason than shine your pole should be jailed. These private, not chain restaurants make a good honest living cooking food their way. Hopefully life will be nicer to you than you are to it. By the way, I love this place!

I CAN't BELIEVE EVERYBODY DOESN'T LOVE THIS PLACE!
I have eat at this place several times, and never been unhappy with the food or the service. The food is great and the BBQ sauce is like no other. Stay across the street at the Peabody hotel and your just a step away. I give it 5 STARS!!

Should have turned around after I saw the rats.
Drove up 404 miles from Louisana. Skipped lunch so I'd have plenty of room to pack in what many have billed as Memphis' best ribs. Parked on 2nd street and walked through the alley to Rendezvous. The two rats playfully chasing each other across the alley was an omen I should have taken more seriously. Categorically disappointed. In hindsight I should have acted on my frustration after the first bit and sent the entire meal back. I've had more tender jerkey. CAUTION - Be leary of anyone (likely Rendezvous employees/family/friends) posting favorable ratings. Don't make the same mistake I made.
