Reviews for Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous in Memphis, TN
We had a great experience at Rendezvous. The service and ambiance was great! As far as the food, the brisket was great. It was... very moist and flavorful. The ribs were a little dry In Our opinion. It was different than our Texas bbq for sure, but stillenjoyable overall. I would recommend s larger sides on a plate intended for two to share. Maybe expand on side item options aswell. Thanks!

Went there to enjoy some TN BBQ. It was delicious. Different than the TX BBQ and great! We had the large plate of pork ribs and... brisket. The beans were savory and sweet. The mustard coleslaw was bitter and flavorful. Their was no wait time and the servicewas friendly and attentive. We would definitely come back Read more
Place never disappoints. Atmosphere is always lively and got there today before the Saturday rush so I was seated immediately... at the bar. One day I'll try something new but I hit my normal order. Greek salad to start followed with a large rib order. That unique dry rub Memphis taste with some dipping sauce is just plain delicious. Read more
We got in, at just after 5. We timed it perfectly. We were seated immediately and our dining area was empty but quickly filled... in 10 minutes. We beat the rush of people coming from the Peabody duck parade. I also called about a week before. She said theyseat 450. Call for reservations bigger than 5. I had the brisket and my husband had ribs. Everything came fast and was amazing.We loved the beans and slaw too. We had a great experience. Definitely will be ordering sauce off line. Read more
Loved the vibe of this palace. Feels like a speakeasy steeped in history with good food to-boot. Located off a charming alleyway... and down a flight of stairs in a basement. Seems to be THR place to go for BBQ, specifically pork ribs. I am not super fond ofBBQ? but when in Memphis. Despite this, I enjoyed my meal. The sides in particular (potato salad, coleslaw, beans) werefantastic. Could have spend hours examining all the eccentric artifacts lining the walls. Service was so-so, but I?d stillrecommend this place if your looking for authentic BBQ in a fun/unique atmosphere. Read more
We had THE BEST SERVER EVER! I wish the food matched HIS exceptional service and attention to our family. We all really liked... the vibe of the restaurant very much. It has lots of nooks and crannies. Kind of neat. Fun bar area & brick and old world decor.???? The bathrooms were relatively clean but definitely could have been better. ????All of us had decent food however, myhusband's ribs, that he was sooo looking forward to, and are ubiquitous in BBQ cooking so it was a huge disappointment for himto go to this restaurant on a recommendation, spend his money, take the time to drive our family into Memphis and HIS meal be agiant let down. No good. We all tried them. They were tough, tough, dry, chewy. ???? That's NOT how ribs should be. Not sure ifwe will go there ever again. We shall see. Read more
Had a big group dinner here recently. The service was very good and helpful. Drinks were always kept refreshed. Food came out... quickly. Most of us ordered ribs and some combination. The brisket was good along with the chicken. However, most of the peoplethat got ribs complained that they were chewy. The appetizer was strange. Cheese and sausage with some peppers. Read more
While returning home on a road trip to Key West from Colorado in March 2022, we spent a couple of nights in Memphis. A local... suggested this place for BBQ. I was not disappointed. I ordered the ribs. Yummy! My only regret is that I didn?t order the ribsand brisket combo. Great, old classic restaurant vibe and good service. It was a little pricey, but worth it! Read more
