Virgil's Real BBQ is a renowned Southern-style barbecue restaurant located in the heart of Times Square, New York City. It's known for its traditional BBQ dishes and a lively atmosphere, often featuring live country music on Friday nights. The restaurant is part of the same franchise as Carmine's and also has a to-go only location on the Upper West Side and a location in Las Vegas.
Customer feedback highlights the restaurant's fun and welcoming atmosphere, especially with live country music and friendly staff. Service is generally praised as attentive. While many enjoy the overall experience and drinks, opinions on the BBQ items are mixed; some found the brisket, pork ribs, and smoked chicken to be dry or tough. However, the sides, such as Brussels sprouts, collard greens, cheese grits, smoked beans, and onion rings, receive consistent praise for their quality and flavor. The Mac and Cheese, however, was noted as a low point by one reviewer.
Virgil's Real BBQ prides itself on bringing authentic Southern-style barbecue to New York City. Beyond its Times Square flagship, it operates a 'To-Go only' joint in Manhattan's Upper West Side and a full-service restaurant in Las Vegas. The establishment is part of the same restaurant group as Carmine's.
Friday nights are highly recommended for those looking to enjoy live country music and a lively atmosphere. Reservations are advised, especially during peak times, as the restaurant can get very busy.
