Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous is such a cool Memphis experience too. You head down an alley and into this old-school basement restaurant that has been there since 1948, and it just feels like Memphis. They're famous for their dry-rub ribs, which were really good, but for me the brisket was absolutely the star. If I came back tomorrow, I wouldn't even need to look at the menu. Give me the brisket. Service was great! A Memphis must.

A Memphis Favorite…read more While visiting Memphis, Central was located next to my rental property, so I came few times. I had to see what all the buzz was about I had heard about, and Central BBQ did not disappoint. The smell of smoke hits you before you walk in and the food lives up to the reputation. I went for the ribs , pulled pork sampler, and quickly understood why this place is so popular. Tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, some of the best BBQ I've had. I have seen few other reviews with low rating, but all I can says It was great for me. A late review but I had to write one because BBQ, Memphis, and service is on my mind right this minute. If you're in Memphis, Central BBQ is a must-stop try spot.

After several long days on the road moving from California to Tennessee, Blues City Cafe was…read moreexactly the welcome to Tennessee we needed! We spent our first night in the state in Memphis and were ready for some good Southern food. We had the ribs, barbecue, beans, sweet tea, and a cold beer--and everything hit the spot! The ribs were tender and flavorful, and the sweet tea was the perfect introduction to the South. The service was great, the wait was minimal, and our food came out so quickly it was almost like they were waiting for us to arrive! The atmosphere was lively with that great Memphis energy--a little loud, but not overwhelming. There was something special about sitting down to Memphis barbecue after driving all the way from California and realizing, "We made it to Tennessee!" A delicious and memorable first meal in our new home state.

My friend recommended Blues City Cafe when I told him I was looking for some good barbecue, and I'm…read moreso glad I listened because it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was welcoming, lively, and full of great energy. I sat at the bar, and my bartender did not miss a beat. Even though I was dining alone, she continued to check on me throughout the evening and made sure I was well taken care of. I ordered the ribs dry with the sauce on the side, and they were absolutely delicious! They were packed with flavor and literally falling off the bone. The baked beans and turnip greens were also extremely good and definitely worth trying. Overall, I had a wonderful experience from the food to the atmosphere and service. I'm definitely glad I gave this spot a try, and I would absolutely recommend Blues City Cafe if you're looking for good barbecue and a great atmosphere!

The food and coffee was so delicious. I wouldn't say I'm a food snob, but I'm particular about breakfast foods, and this made me very happy. We each ordered a coffee and the bacon potatoes to share. I ordered the Juniper Benedict and my friend ordered the loaded biscuits and gravy. The bacon potatoes were cooked perfectly, soft and slightly crunchy with plenty of cheese and bacon. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly and they used a regular house-made biscuit that soaked up the egg yolks perfectly. The restaurant was pretty big, but the ambiance felt like a small-town diner. The staff was super kind and attentive, too. The cost is par for the course for a nice diner in a big city. TLDR: Not a bad word to say about this place.

Recommended me some appetizers and allowed me some time to look over the menu. I ordered the chicken tender dinner with buffalo sauce. I wanted to try a new drink and went to the beached mule. It has ginger beer, coconut rum & pineapple juice. The drink was $8. Yes, $8 y'all. I will be back for the delicious drink. The tenders was yummy as well. Huey's is famous for their homemade ranch and it has never failed me. This location has live music from time to time. And love the decor is Memphis themed!

Not what it used to be…read more I used to eat here 20 years ago when I worked downtown. My coworkers and I would go and the dining room would be full. I just went at 8pm on a Saturday and the dining room was empty. There were maybe 2-3 people standing inside waiting for to-go orders and 4 cars in line in the drive thru. From the time I got to the line to the time I got my food was an hour. I asked when entering my order if they were just busy and would be speeding up or should I leave and they said they were speeding up. They did not. When I finally got my food, I asked the lady at the window what was going on and she was rude. She also asked if I wanted to add a tip which I found funny. The food itself was alright. The bread was just normal, unseasoned white bread. The slaw was seasoned well but a bit watery for my taste. The spaghetti was cooked properly and the sauce was fine but there was very little pork in mine. Overall, the service was very off putting and the meal wasn't worth the drive or the wait. Such a bummer because I've been singing their praises for decades. I doubt I'll go back.
