The downstairs where the tables are located features an open kitchen, exposed brick and many rooms where the tables sit.
Also keep in mind you can purchase the rub at most grocery stores, at least those in the St. Louis metro area.

Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous Room
A visit to Memphis is not complete until you dine at the Rendezvous Room. Located near the intersection of two alleys a block or so off Beale St, you won't just stumble upon it. Expect a crowd and somewhat of a wait for a table.
The restaurant opened in 1948 and it appears the building is much older and contains quite a bit of character. Upstairs is the bar and waiting area. It is shown in the panaromic picture below.

Ribs at the Rendezvous Room are dry-rub with their own special seasoning. I understand the key is to cook the rib first and once done, apply vinegar and water and then season thoroughly with the dry-rub. Several BBQ sauce choices are available at the table. You can eat the ribs plain or dip in sauce. Either way, the ribs are fantastic.

Thanks for recommending Rendezvous restaurant. I like interiors as well as food presentation of this venue as I have been there couple of months ago. Last year I visited San Francisco and tried BBQ at couple of San Francisco restaurants. It was mind blowing.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Last time I was in SF was about 5 years a go. BBQ is one cuisine I did not try. But next time....
