Housed in a cellar off an alleyway near the Peabody Hotel in downtown Memphis, Charlie Vergos' iconic restaurant has been serving barbecued ribs to adoring locals and tourists – from Mick Jagger to Prince Albert of Monaco – since 1948. Thousands of black-and-white photographs dot the walls, while veteran white-coated and bowtied waiters provide stupendously unobtrusive service. But the atmosphere is just a small part of the Rendezvous' universal appeal. It's what's on the menu, a compendium of barbecued meats, that keeps 'em coming back for more. First-timers should order a full slab of the famous charcoal-broiled pork ribs, which are among the most lauded of their kind in the nation. Beer and wine available. Serving lunch Fri–Sat, dinner Tue–Sat. Closed Sun–Mon.Voted Best Ribs in the 2009 Memphis Flyer and 2009 Memphis magazine readers' polls.

Do you prefer your pork shoulder chopped or pulled, your ribs served wet or dry? In this musical mecca of W.C. Handy, Booker T. and Elvis Presley, different culinary tunes still sound sweet.
