    It got a bit rainy and our rooftop plans were canceled. Walking back to our hotel and stumbled upon Apandi BBQ. I was flabbergasted to see these Spicy Cumin meat skewers were only $2 a pop. The only thing that could compare to those humble prices were the street tacos that I love out in LA. I know what you're thinking, this must be some novice, cheap offerings, but my dude was handling the grill like an iron chef. Turning each skewer with precision and showering them with spices. I could tell the vendor had a rhythm that he's picked up through years of experience. I tried the lamb, beef, and chicken. The chicken was my favorite of the three!

I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and found the restaurant moderately crowded. We were greeted promptly and seated upon entry. I found the space comfortable and relaxed. Our waiter was polite and attentive. We ordered the corn bread as an appetizer. I prefer sweet cornbread versus jalapeño, so it wasn't my thing. However, my cousin is the opposite and she really enjoyed it. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, greens, and biscuit. I didn't care for the greens, but the biscuit and pulled pork was excellent. My sister had the ribs, greens, and dirty rice. She didn't like any of her food. She said the ribs had a lot of gristle. There was very little meat on the bone. I tasted the rice and agreed with her assessment. It wasn't that good. Our cousin had the chicken, mac-n-cheese, and baked beans. She liked her food. My cousin had been to Virgil's before many years ago and said this experience mirrored past ones. We all ordered dessert as well. i had the strawberry shortcake, which wasn't great. The strawberries were fresh, and I liked the whipped cream, but the "shortcake" was actually the same biscuit that was served with my meal. It wasn't sweet enough and just didn't work well. I ended up picking over the dessert, so most of it went to waste. My sister had the key lime pie which she didn't like. My cousin had the banana pudding which she enjoyed. Overall, the experience got mixed reviews, but I'd visit Virgil's again in the future for sure. The bill ended up being about $150 plus, if I recall correctly, because we ordered alcoholic beverages as well.

I saw that they have music on certain days so if you interested in some music come check it out. We ordered the two meat meal with greens, mac n cheese, and corn bread. They didn't have any pork belly burnt ends ready so that was a bummer. The food came out fairly quick which was nice. Everything looked really good. The brisket was cooked perfect and nice fatty parts to it if you like that. There was some good smoke to it and nice seasoning to it. The ribs were a little overcooked and not much meat on them. The mac n cheese was really good, nice amount of cheese, noodles cooked perfect, and nice seasoning in it. The greens were also cooked perfect, not mushy, great flavor, and also seasoned right. The cornbread was off the hook, very tasty with great flavor. I like that they mixed corn in the cornbread. We also ordered the Banana Wafer Pudding which was delicious. NIce flavor and the wafers were fresh and crunchy, I just needed more of them. We tried to wait for Pork Belly burnt ends but we had to go. The BBQ sauces were just ok, nothing to say hey you have to try it. I'd definitely be back to this place if I'm in town. Don't know why they only have 3.5 stars. The service was also good. I so wanted to give a 5 star but I just couldn't.

    We visited Hill Country BBQ Market for dinner on Jun 24, 2025 as part of the Road Scholar's…read more"American Mosaic - An NYC Exploration" program. Since our program covered the expenses, we didn't pay anything out of pocket. Now I enjoy a good BBQ cookout at home as much as the next family, but don't care for it as a dining experience. My employer catered BBQ luncheons from time to time, and even then I wasn't crazy about it. Here in Hill Country, a room was reserved for us (party of 36). Our dinnerware resembled army mess tins lined with sanitary papers; our glasses resembled moonshine jars complete with screw threads at the rim for lids. Our dinner was a catered set of longhorn cheddar mac & cheese (quite good), sliced brisket (meh), market chicken (a little tough), fresh baked cornbread (dry & hard) and collard greens (good but could be saltier). I consumed massive amounts of mac & cheese and collared greens to help swallow down the almost rock-hard cornbread. Desert was chocolate chip cookies (that wasn't bad). Some members of the group ordered liquor (at their own expense) to celebrate the good time they were having. Customer service was less than stellar. The waitress did not inform us that soft drinks were complimentary until after we finished eating. That wasn't all. The restroom was located downstairs past the bar room. During my two visits - before and after the food was served - the same staff member was there cleaning. He had just finished the sinks when I went in the first time. On the second visit, the front door was blocked from the inside by a pail - he was mopping the floor. Couldn't he have waited till the off-peak hours to do that?? Customer service and cornbread were enough for me to not recommend this restaurant.

I tried to find the drink menu online, but they didn't have all the drinks posted. I think the drink I loved was the Bomb Pop or something similar, it was bright blue and super sweet and very delicious. I got one both nights. I also tried another sweet drink that was very good but can't remember what it was. Husband also enjoyed his drinks. Sorry, I know this is less than helpful for the rest of you but at least I'll remember they had "my kind of cocktails" when I next go to NY and review my own reviews. Service was hit or miss; when we sat at the bar the service was definitely better. At the tables, we waited and waited and waited for the server to come back and eventually I gave up and went to the bar to place my second round order. On our second visit we did hear the manager giving the bartender crap for telling someone where to find the bathroom. I didn't love that; you should not be trying to guess whether someone is going to be a customer or not based on their appearance and if the manager wants to do that it's on them, I think it's totally inappropriate to ask the bartender to gatekeep like that. The ambiance is pretty typical sports bar, seats at the bar and high top tables in the front, I think some regular dining tables in the back. I'd definitely come back to get another Bomb Pop or whatever it was called, maybe try food if I was craving a burger.

    THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Sticky Wings - Extremmmmmely sticky, but, very good, tasty wings. Basically these are large honey-basted wings and, honestly, 5 is A LOT considering how big these birds are. = Texas Chili - Just OK. Nothing spectacular about it. It's decent, but not unique in any way. = Half Chicken BBQ Basted - Chicken was tender, but the BBQ baste was just alright. It was a little bit tangy, but tasted a little artificial as in a generic BBQ sauce. Cornbread block was good and the baked potato was, well, just a baked potato. + Half Chicken Honey Basted - Pretty much the same comment as above, but the honey baste was definitely better than the BBQ baste. Ordered the yellow rice as the side instead and it was decent yellow rice. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Food arrived very quick, however, it was more of a product of a lot of the food probably already having been prepared en masse. = Waiter was courteous, but he never visited us once to see how we were doing, nor did he thank us or say goodbye when we left. On the bright side, he refilled our water without us asking and he remembered to bring Take-Out boxes for our leftovers. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior and LOTs of tables, including a downstairs private room. + Located in a busy area in the heart of the Chelsea neighborhood. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Visited on an early September Saturday evening and, to our surprise, it was quite crowded at 5:30 PM. We thought we ate early, but NOPE, A LOT of people in the city seem to really like to get dinner out of the way to carry on with their evenings. = A lot of the customers dining in while we were there left relatively quickly and had fast meals, so seems like a majority of customers here are in and out lightning fast! = They take reservations online. CONCLUSION -------------------- = Having been to the Times Square Dallas BBQ MANY, MANY times in the past (like 2 decades ago) it was nice to finally visit one again in the city. As expected, many things have changed, especially the menu, however, the highlights of the menu are still easily the Texas-sized drinks and the wings!

They actually made a frozen drink I couldn't finish. Bravo! It's been a while since I've had Dallas BBQ and now I'm hooked. But I don't come for the BBQ ribs anymore. The quality dropped significantly. There's barely any meat on them. It's the fried shrimp I'm here for. I live too far to sate my craving at City Island, Bronx so I come here. 10 nice sized shrimp that come out piping hot. I've also discovered the small Onion Loaf. I can't get thru it in one sitting so I box it up to take home. It's not the best the next day because it's soggy, but hell, it's still edible. Whenever I come the service is super quick. I don't wait for anything. It's a big space, great for large parties. For the size of the place and the amount of people, it's not loud at all. Eventually I'll get up to City Island, but in a pinch, this'll do.
