If we didn't check what we got we would have been missing one. They were able to give another lamb skewer for us though, but unfortunately didn't get to try what we originally ordered. The meat was well seasoned with cumin and other spices, but some of the lamb pieces I had were largely fatty and hard to chew. A good place to stop by for a quick snack, though there are better skewer shops in Flushing

What a wonderful hidden treasure I stumbled upon! While waiting for another reservation, my friend…read moreand I got hungry and couldn't resist the decadent smell of chinese skewers. With a price of $2 per skewer, we ordered 1 beef, 2 lamb, 1 chicken gizzard, and 1 chicken skewers. They cook all skewers to order and take credit payment (tap). If you want to pay in cash, make sure you have the exact amount. The meat was so flavorful and the fat was rendered beautifully off of the meat! I'm docking 1 star because they had accidentally given us 4 skewers instead of 5 that we ordered when they gave up the skewers wrapped in tin foil, anddddd after consuming the skewers did we realize we did not get the variety we ordered, but instead 4 lamb and 1 chicken gizzard. The lamb was honestly so delicious though we weren't even mad!

It kind of reminded me of Beecher's mac and cheese as it was incredibly creamy. - Brussel Sprouts - I was a big fan of this brussel sprouts as it was baked to perfection. It was very crispy on the outside and had a good vinegar flavor to balance out the heartiness of the vegetable. - Brisket Sandwich - This turned out more to be of a slider than a full on sandwich which was a bit disappointing, but it still made me very full. The brisket itself had a good smokey flavor and adding the pickled vegetables and the BBQ sauces definitely elevated the taste. The star, however, was the bread as it kind of reminded me that of In-n-Out where it is buttery and soft in the inside with nice char and bite on the outside. Overall good and fast eat!

Used to order the brisket, but this time had chicken and a side of smashed sweet potatoes. Chicken was tasty, however I had a hard time eating it with the skin on since the skin wasn't crispy, which is my preference (I peeled off all of the skin).

It's a reason this place has been around for 48 years! You'll have some who say its not as good as…read morewhen they first opened but honey let me tell you they are GOODT! Some will also say it's a tourist trap but I honestly believe it depends on what your looking for in your dining experience. I also don't think it's fair to compare it to any BBQ you'd find in the State of Texas. There are key differences between Dallas BBQ v Real Authentic Texas BBQ. There's a difference in meat selection, cooking methods and sauce. It's more about the experience than "pure" BBQ. The most Texas thing about this spot is the size of their portions with food and drinks being huge. Also, if your looking for complex culinary, sophisticated, and upscale, this ain't it. If your looking for quiet, nope not here. Yet it surpasses today's run of the mill standards of good quality comfort food affordably priced. I purposely did not eat anything all day just so I could enjoy all my faves such as the sticky wings, cornbread and the turkey chilli. First off you cannot come here and not order the wings! It was my friends first time dining here and when she read the menu she thought the wings were going to be those tiny rinky dink flats and drums, but no ma'am! These are nice size WHOLE WINGS. Attempting to eat all 5 of them will have your belly popping out of your shirt and have you snoring at the table! I can eat 4 on an empty stomach but 5 is a lot especially if your eating anything else or drinking. So if you want to try other menu items get them to share or just be prepared to take some home. The Hennessey wings are good but after eating two of them the flavor is a bit overwhelming to me. You will not find a better chilli than theirs!! Their chilli is so flavorful without being spicy hot. I love that I can enjoy their chilli, it's the right texture, consistency, well seasoned and you can tell its good quality ground turkey. The drinks are lit! Generous amount of alcohol. Everything is TEXAS size even if your ordering something as basic as an apple juice! lol I guarantee you will not need to ask your waiter for a refill. Trust me! One major upgrade they need to do here is to the women's bathroom. I can't speak for the men's room except that there's never a line for it. Meanwhile the line hangs outside the women's bathroom and into the walkway of the restaurant. Its just not enough stalls to accommodate guests for a restaurant this size. The midtown location is MASSIVE seating between 500-800 people across three levels. However, there's literally only about 5 or 6 stalls in the women's bathroom. That ratio is way off. Anyhoo besides that this place rocks. Solid service and good food.

The space is large, with multiple floors and plenty of seating, which was a nice surprise considering how busy the Times Square area can get. Prices were reasonable for the location, which I definitely appreciated. We ordered a mix of items including chicken, ribs, shrimp, guacamole, sides, and a couple of alcoholic drinks. The food was decent overall and hit the spot before the show. Customer service was fine, though nothing particularly memorable, and the same could be said for the food. Still, the location, space, and fair pricing make it a practical option when you're in the area. Overall, it was an adequate experience. I'd stop by again when I'm nearby for the convenience and reasonable prices.

SPENCER made sure we knew the specials, his favorites on the menu and had very detailed information on menu items to assist us with our orders. Because of SPENCER'S kindness, intention and professionalism, we had the best time at VIRGILS. so great we had to let management know what great execution accomplished in the hiring process of SPENCER.

When we pulled up to the restaurant, we were informed there were a few levels. We went to the second floor and they were happy to accommodate us. We were rolling 6 deep and the booth was enough for us, but barely. In our party, majority of us wanted meat with the exception of 2 people only wanting shrimp and something else. We got the large beef combination platter which comes with ribeye, thin skirt, brisket, marinated kalbi, and marinated chuck flap. Most people stuck with water, while a couple got ginger ale. I ordered the soju flight but I ended up not liking it so my cousins shared it. The meal comes with different veggies as well as your choice of soup. We got the spicy tofu and split it 6 ways. The spice lived up to its name, so I didn't eat very much. The best part was meat. Despite there being 6 of us, there was plenty to go around. I think you have the option to cook it yourself or have them cook it for you and we chose the latter. While I enjoyed it, I wish there was more space. Most of the space was taken up by the accompaniments that come with it (veggies, etc), so there was hardly any room to put anything else. It didn't help that none of our dishes were cleared once we finished them and that no rice is included. Aside from that, both the food and service were great.

So we strongly smelled like BBQ grease (esp our hair and clothes) after our meal. The problem was, we went to see a Bway show after dinner and even the person next to me had to mention during the show's intermission that I smelled like food so bad and it bothered her. LOL. Oops, sorry. In fact, In the next four days, my coat that I used for dinner still smelled like barbecue. Solution: Next time, I will bring a large sealed plastic bag to put all out of coats, bags, etc. (and shower caps for our hair! Lol). And we will not go socialize or see a show after the meal. Lol. PS: Our waiter was so nice and helpful. The company should give him a raise.!

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.

Do yourself a favor, don't bother to come there! Oh and also they tell you that you can only spend 1.5 there, a limit on your stay. You get the picture.

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.
