• Very good ribs and a cool place. Will return!! by Bump Sun 03/17/2013 5:39 PM Joined Mar 2013 3 Posts 3 Restaurant Visits
  
• Also disappointed. The food was good but just did not live up to the hype. Not enough meat on the ribs and the sides were just average. Service was good though. by amyj913 Sun 09/02/2012 12:00 AM Jackson TN Joined Sep 2012 5 Posts 5 Restaurant Visits
  
• I was also disappointed. Maybe the hype built up my expectations, but I found the ribs to be dried out and cold. The flavor of the ribs are good and the atmosphere is pretty cool, but the ribs were a bit of a let down. by Jlove3232 Sat 07/28/2012 12:00 AM Joined Jul 2012 7 Posts 14 Restaurant Visits
  
• Disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's a good place but the ribs were not just dry rub they were dry meat. The ribs had little meat on them as well. I've heard Blues City Cafe is good but the best I've had so far was at Silky O'Sullivan's. by JmPratt Fri 03/02/2012 12:00 AM Joined Mar 2012 3 Posts 4 Restaurant Visits

CitySearch Tips

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.
