La Tourelle Restaurant

• Nothing.
• Being stood up for their Pink Cadillac gimmick.

“Sunday July 26, 2009: we were staying at the Days Inn next to Graceland. They told us to call Marlowe's for the free pink Cadillac pick-up to their restaurant, 7:15 PM appointment. They stood us up and another couple (for 7 p.m.) waited 45 minutes. Finally went to restaurant in my own car and complained to manager; she couldn't care less and told me that is how it is when they are busy. Two Pink Cadillacs parked in lot at the time, Long line out the door. Dining area appeared dirty and cluttered with trash, decided to go elsewhere. Went to China Buffet next to Graceland where it was quiet, inexpensive and got hot steamy food right away. Returned that evening to Day's Inn and learned that Marlowe's called the Days Inn and blamed the problem on them! However, I had called the restaurant at 2 pm earlier that same day for my appointment and gave my name to a woman who advised me the time! At the hotel I learned that they favor the Heartbreak Hotel over the Days Inn when they get busy (and obviously mess up their bookings). Other guests said they waited 1-1/2 hours the night before. Forget Marlowe's! Never again!”

• The band.
• There is nothing negative about this place!

“I live in eastern Canada and often travel to southern California. Memphis is a long way out of the way on this trip but, I often detour (flying or driving) through Memphis just to go to the Rum Boogie Cafe. The band is the best house band I have ever seen and, is worth taking a few extra days to see. The food and service are good. The band is awesome. Just writing this (CD playing) makes me want to pack up and get to Memphis.”

Marlowes Restaurant

Overall Rating: 10

• The smoky BBQ smell when you enter the restaurant makes you hungry immediately.
• Not one thing!

“The rub on these ribs is awesome! They are served with just a little BBQ sauce on them, because the rub is so good. Priced fairly and not expensively. The sides are great, especially the corn fritters. Service is wonderful. My iced tea glass was never empty! I highly recommend this restaurant. It is about 1 mile from Graceland, so go on over after your tour and eat some of the best BBQ in Memphis!”

Rendezvous Restaurant
Feb 28, 2009 by traveltime from Missouri
Overall Rating: 4
Food:[5] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[4]

• Nothing really.
• Dirty, poor service and unfriendly waiters.

“We were very disappointed in the service, the waiters did act like they were doing us a favor by offering us service, it was very slow and the waiter was very abrupt unfriendly. The food arrived on time, but it was just mediocre, nothing to write home about that is for sure. You can get much better at BB King's House of Blues on Beale Street or at Neely's BBQ. The restaurant looked unclean and the rest room was filthy.”

• HIGHLY recommend going there. Best fun on Beale St.
• Nothing to dislike, it's all good!

“Heard only about this place. Went early, around 5, but not necessary, to make sure of having a seat at 8 for. Enjoyed seeing all the guitars and knowing all those artists played there. Food was great. I went for the catfish with a side of red beans/rice. My friend got the Memphis BBQ. Both were generous portions and excellent value.”
