Best ribs in Memphis

[malacoma]

My family and I are going to Memphis for Easter break. I have been there before and have eaten at the Blues City Diner and BB Kings. If anyone has a suggestion for anywhere else, I am willing to try.

Rondevous has the BEST ribs I have ever had in my life!

I will give them a try.

This should be a fun debate among the locals.

Personally, I've never had the pleasure to eat ribs from a true Memphis joint, but a few places that were recently featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives "Memphis BBQ Tour" episode were.....

Tom's BBQ

Marlow's Ribs

Leonard's Pit BBQ

Cozy Corner BBQ

All of them look absolutely amazing. You probably can't go wrong with any of them.

We are there for a week. My son and I will try to go to as many as possible. We really like ribs. Thanks for the timely replies.

Without a doubt, Rendezvous!

Charles Vergos' Rendezvous is one of the more "famous" places, but don't discount the little guy smoke shacks either.

Here's a similar discussion on Foodhound.....

Rendezvous was the best ribs of the bunch. I had ribs at four different places. The next best were at a place called Pig on Beale. They were smoked rather than charcoal grilled like Rendezvous.
