AOL Travel Editor’s Review

Through an alley and down the stairs, this cave of a restaurant has been a Memphis favorite since 1948. Hoards of hungry diners tuck into Rendezvous' famous dry-rubbed pork ribs as fast as the kitchen can sling them. There are other things on the menu (mostly meat, in various guises), but don't bother—the ribs are the name of the game. Red-and white-checked tablecloths and walls hung with a half-century's worth of memorabilia give the space a kitschy charm. Expect crowds, especially on weekends.

  Went to the Rendezvous with a group of 30. The food was of very poor quality and very expensive. The "group" meal was $28.00 for : Half rack of the dryest, hard to eat ribs, ever; medicine cup portions of baked beans and terrible cole slaw and rolls right out of the refrigerator. Oh, and we were given a plastic spoon to eat this momentous meal with. Hated it, will never be back and don't recommend anyone else goes either....   Read More
