Best Memphis BBQ joint?

I'm headed back home to Kentucky from Mississippi on Tuesday and was wanting to stop while coming through Memphis (or just outside) for some BBQ. I've heard good things about both Memphis Barbecue Co. (I believe in Southhaven) and Rendezvous but was curious if anyone had some other recommendations or if I should go with one of those.
TIA

I liked Rendezvous for both the food and the atmosphere.

I'm a big fan of the Bar-B-Q Shop dry ribs.

I'm a fan of the downtown Central Bbq.

I've been to Memphis many a time for work and hit many of them. My personal favorite is the Bar-B-Q Shop, followed by Central. Both are outstanding.
Rendezvous is decent, but honestly, it's for the tourists. I'd skip it, there are a dozen better places to go.
I know the draw to Memphis is the barbecue, but if you're up for it, there's Gus' Fried Chicken, which is some of the best in the country.

Rendezvous
Whatever you do don't go to that shithole on Beale. Think it was Blues Cafe or Blues City Cafe or something. They should have paid us to taste that stuff they put on our plates.

Don't go to Memphis BBQ Co. in Southaven, there are plenty of better spots to go to, some people have already mentioned the BBQ Shop and Central. What are you looking for? Ribs? Chicken? Pulled pork?

I'm no expert on Memphis but Germantown Commissary was excellent.

If by any chance you end up at Central, which has its virtues, do not get their 'brisket.' It belongs in a cafeteria.
my favorite when I was there was barbq shop

For a pulled pork sandwich Tops BBQ is hard to top.
I HATE the Rendezvous. The waiters are assholes and the ribs are overated. Their sausage cheese plate is their only highlight IMO.
ETA: This is coming from a native Memphian.
