Hi all! We are stopping overnight in Memphis on our way down to Gulf Shores, AL and the family wants to eat at a really GOOD BBQ place. Any recommendations? We will be staying near downtown Memphis.

?you have to go to rendezvous. Its famous for its bbq. We also like Jim N Nicks, but that has become a chain. Rendezvous is small and family owned.. good!

Rendezous is good. I love their dry ribs. You can't go wrong with any of these restuarants for BBQ ..

Rendezvous - located in alley behind 52 South Second Street - My fave here are the dry ribs & sausage and cheese plate

Cozy Corner - 745 N. Parkway, Memphis TN 38105 (My best friend loves this place. I've never been but, it gets rave reviews)

The BBQ Shop -1782 Madison Avenue, Memphis, TN 38104 - My fave is the BBQ smoked sausage sandwich. It's a blink and you'll miss it spot. But it's a favorite of mine.

Neely's - 670 Jefferson, Memphis , Tennessee 38103 - I love Neely's. It's hands down one of my favorites. Love the BBQ Spaghetti. It's a got a kick, so if you don't do spicy food, don't get it.

Whatever you do, please don't go to Corkys. I don't care what anyone tells you,don't do it. It's overrated.

All of the places I've posted are near downtown Memphis. Jim and Nick's is out east - about a 25-30 minute drive from downtown near the Wolfchase Mall.

Rendezvous, definitely. Its almost worth driving 3 hours from Nashville just to get those ribs.

Rendezvous!!

I also like Neely's, but I've only been to the one here in Nashville. Memphis is the original location, though. :-)

I used to live in Memphis. Rendevous is way over rated. If you like dry, and I mean DRY bbq its your place. I prefer The Commissary. Its in Germantown, just up Poplar Ave. from down town about 15-20 min. Trust me, its the best. Their bbq nachos and bananna pudding are AWESOME!
