Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous

Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous — located down an alley off Monroe Avenue and open since 1948 — serves Memphis-style dry-rub ribs that are universally acknowledged as the city's finest and among the best BBQ in America. Grizzlies fans, Elvis Presley pilgrims, and food-obsessed sports travelers all queue down the alley for the charcoal-grilled ribs served with the original dry seasoning blend that the Vergos family guards as closely as any championship trophy. The underground dining room's wood-panelled memorabilia and the smell of charcoal and spice create an atmosphere that no other Memphis restaurant can replicate.
