    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!

    Virgil's was the best food I had during my entire trip to NYC. Overall, I was disappointed with the…read morefood in the city, but Virgil's was decent. 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.

    As many times as I've been to Times Square I had never been to Virgil's but I was so glad that I…read moredid! Amazing BBQ, fantastic service, and a great bar; you cannot miss with this spot. No matter if you want to come for a game day and sit at the bar by yourself or come as I did, on 2 mega buses and have a reserved corner of the restaurant for your guests. Either way you are aiming to be pleased. Our party was. served family style - passing around 2-3 plates of different meats and sides. Chicken, ribs, greens, banana pudding, mac&chz; you name it! Everything was delicious. I'm just upset I haven't visited sooner!

The lunch menu is somewhat limited, but there was still something for everyone in our group to enjoy. One thing that really stood out was the customer service. One of my coworkers' meals was delayed, and the staff was incredibly apologetic. They even provided complimentary items while we waited, which was a thoughtful gesture and much appreciated. The restaurant has a very authentic Korean BBQ atmosphere, making the dining experience feel even more enjoyable. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. One helpful tip: if you're making a reservation, be sure to double-check that you're going to the correct location. There's another restaurant with the exact same name directly across the street, so it can be a little confusing. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

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.

    Probably the best KBBQ experience I've had in NYC so far…read more It's definitely not cheap, but I thought it was worth it. We got the large set for 4 and there was more than enough food for everyone. Didn't order any drinks, but the meat quality was excellent, and our server cooked everything pretty well so we could just sit back and enjoy. The service was top-notch too. They kept bringing out refills of the side dishes including steamed egg without us having to ask, which I always appreciate. We made a reservation, which I'd recommend especially on a weekend, and got seated right away with no wait. The set also came with vanilla ice cream at the end. Another nice bonus is that if you pay in cash (there's an ATM inside), you get about 10% off. If you don't mind spending a little more for really good quality and service, I'd definitely recommend this place!

    This was my first time at Nubiani and it was great. I think the only point that I'm docking points…read moreoff for is the fact that we felt very rushed. We were early too, they seated us, and then they came by to ask if we wanted to place an order about 4-5 times before the party was completely there. And when we wanted to order more food, at the 45 minute mark, they had to "check if there was time left" on our reservation. I understand they're very busy and have bookings, but it was only about 45 minutes in. Anyways, the experience itself was great. They cooked all our food for us and everything was great quality. Banchans were refreshed and refilled - sometimes without being asked. We were very well taken care of. The pancake was good as well as the tartare. HIghlight was definitely the meat and banchans though. We all got ice cream at the end and birthday boy even got a candle in his with some sprinkles. Super cute and very nice of them.

When I arrived, there were only a few other customers seated in the dining room. That should have been a RED flag, but I wanted to try the burgers while visiting New York. My wife had the Classic Burger topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, house sauce served with fries for $19.95 and I had the Smash-ology Burger with double smash burger patties topped with American cheese, red onion, lettuce tomato, smash-ology sauce on a potato bun served with fries for $19.95. First, the burgers are very small, lack flavor and there is nothing special about them. I've had a better tasting burger from Steak & Shack for a fraction of the cost. The fries were very cold and looked like they were sitting on a holding table for an extended period. I sent the fries back only to be served with more cold fries. Service was also lacking. When I complained about the cold fries, the server didn't seem to be pleased and was very hesitant to take them back. At a cost of more than $45 for two burgers and fries, I expected more.

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.

I sat at the bar for a few. The frozen drinks here cannot be beat. My frozen Margarita flavored with strawberry and pineapple was delicious. A shot of Patrón turned it up a few decibels. I ordered a regular size because I never finish the Texas size drinks. I was excited to order the onion tower because it's been ages since I've had it but I probably should've skipped it. It was bland tasting, not as crispy as I remember and the onions had a potato texture??? My barbecued half chicken was also a teeny bit bland and borderline tough. Corn on the cob was hot and really good. My cornbread was dried out though! Our server was really attentive. I took a doggy bag home. Years later, Dallas BBQ-Chelsea isn't perfect but you get great portions without overspending. I enjoyed the complimentary chocolate cake pops.
