Default Re: Best place to eat in Tunica?

But the best ribs are at the Blues City Cafe on Beale Street.

This is the correct answer. And it's not even close.

Rendezvous = fewer ribs for more money.

My Dad and I went there a little over a year ago. Had an order each...and a beer or two. It was NOT very satisfying.
We went to Blues City cafe immediately afterwards and ate again.
Not only are the quantities better....but it's just better ribs anyway.

(still don't understand why everyone goes so wacky for Rendezvous...when Blues City Cafe is so much more visible and is obviously so much better).



In Tunica - Horseshoe buffet is easily the best.
Gold Strike buffet is decent but not worth going out of your way for.
Grand buffet does NOT impress me.


The steak-house at the Gold Strike is actually quite good as well (ate there with the lady-friend a couple months ago).
The wait at Binion's steak-house was over an hour and we were REALLY starving. But next time we plan on trying the Binion's steak-house.


Disappointed they don't have the asian restaurant at Horseshoe anymore.
They have replaced it with 'Nawlins' which looks to have a pretty decent menu too (obviously cajun/crawfish/new orleans influenced...but I believe the menu wasn't just limited to that).


I'm also a big fan of the Wendy's which is attached to that gas-station at the entrance to the drive that takes you down to Horseshoe/gold-strike.
The quality of the food from the Wendy's in Tunica is very competitive with other Wendy's restaurants all around the country.
Try the double-combo with great-biggie fries.
