    Great service food was very delicious! We haven't been to Virgils since way before the pandemic. We were very happy that everything was just as we remembered. We will be back in the near future.

    If you are looking for relaxed atmosphere, good BBQ and the nicest servers in Manhattan this laid back place close to Times Square and broadway will not disappoint. They hold us our reservation in a busy night (Sunday and football finals on the TV) even thought I was not able to reach them as my phone died. Our sever Erica was the best. We had the baby’s back ribs that are off menu, was that day special and the were finger licking good.

    The food was very good. Who would have thought you could get good BBQ in NYC. The manager on duty was very attentive to us checking in frequently and making sure everything was perfect. I had one complaint and that was the music was too loud to have a conversation and she took care of it. We will definitely come back!
