Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous Reviews
The Ribs, Brisket and signature Rendezvous’ coleslaw are definitely delicious! I enjoyed the friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and charming staff!
Stan the man…
Fantastic and Friendly service. Couldn’t believe how fast the food arrived at the table. Darvin our waiter was exceptional!
The brisket was so juicy, and tender. The best sweet tea you've ever drank, and the server went above and beyond.

Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous in Memphis is famous for its delicious dry rub and charcoal-smoked ribs. Nestled in a basement alley across from the Peabody hotel, the restaurant also serves beans, pecan pie, and brisket. Sweet tea and baked beans are highlights. The staff is kind and attentive, contributing to the friendly and efficient service in a cozy atmosphere. The restaurant is a great choice for barbecue, and the slaw offers a refreshing twist.
This barbecue legend captures the essence of Memphis with its Southern charm and lively energy. The walls are adorned with memorabilia that reflects the city's rich culture and barbecue tradition. The ribs, dry-rubbed and cooked to perfection, provide a balance of smoky, spicy, and savory flavors. Pairing the ribs with the tangy slaw and baked beans results in a meal that embodies Memphis-style BBQ.
While some customers find the food average, the atmosphere and character of the basement add to the experience. Although some have noted the use of plastic cutlery as a downside, many still appreciate the well-cooked dishes like brisket and the quick service. Whether a first-timer or a regular, the restaurant aims to deliver an authentic barbecue experience that is more than just a meal – it’s a rite of passage for any barbecue enthusiast.
