Ditch Memphis all together and head to the Smokey Mountains.

20 min out of town is tunica..go play some slots and tables..

also in memphis check out the The Restaurant
Not since Adam has a rib been this famous.


In 1948, Charlie Vergos cleaned out a basement below his diner, discovered a coal chute, and started a legend.

The coal chute gave him a vent for his considerable talent over a grill, and allowed him to expand from ham-and-cheese sandwiches to ribs.

Today, several thousand people on an average Saturday night pour into our basement and sink their teeth into a slab of what makes Memphis, well, Memphis. Presidents and potentates, the King and the Killer, Rolling Stones, *NSYNC, and everybody who’s anybody have all been down for a bite.

We’re all about ribs, but our menu is as varied and interesting as the wide array of incredible stuff that adorns our walls and ceilings.

Charlie’s kids run things now, and their kids are coming along, and their kids will follow. You see, ribs, restaurants in basements and Greek hospitality are Vergos things. And that’s a good thing.


By the way, we still make a mean ham-and-cheese sandwich too.

Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous

My friend and I were both asked to leave graceland we were laughing so hard. It was very serious which then made us laugh harder.

Haven't read the whole thread Zig don't know if it's already here but go see the peabody ducks it's quite funny.

And yeah, mud island is pretty cool, Beale st. is where the music and restaurants.
