Wonderful food. Fabulous live music and the best waitress Frankie. This was my best meal experience the entire week

Monica was the best! And the food was amazing! I highly recommend this place when you visit Vegas!

Highly recommend Virgils BBQ. Our waiter, Luis, carried professionalism and was very accommodating when we asked to switch tables.. He is great with his soft skills, and ensured our food was out in no time. Thank you Luis and Virgils BBQ for the good food and great service. read more

We were looking for a late night eat...sadly the days of a lot of Strip restaurants being open 24/7 have passed. It was about 11:.30pm on a Thursday and the pickings were slim. I had intended to go to the Tilted Kilt Pub across the way but didn't know the kitchen shuts down early. Well, there was Virgil's right across the way and the kitchen was still open. We were seated quick and service was great. We ordered the popcorn shrimp appetizer, Mac and Cheese, and then the surf (skirt steak) and turf (shrimp skewer) with cheesy grits and brussel sprouts. The popcorn shrimp was fine but would skip it next time. Everything else was really good. I think my expectations were tourist trap with overpriced ok'ish food. It is sort of a tourist trap but the food was so good. The skirt steak was utterly amazing and tender. Cooked perfectly. Mac and Cheese and the sprouts were great. Service was great as well. I look forward to going back. read more

Came here after a little stroll on the promenade and ordered the pig out with my boyfriend. He's a little bit of a bbq aficionado (I am not). And we both thought the barbecue was fine, nothing special and nothing to write home about, but not terrible either. One weird thing was that during our dinner, the fire alarm when off and the piercing alarm was BUZZING throughout the entire restaurant. I was looking around but literally no one looked concerned so we tried to ignore it like everyone else, but it was super distracting. read more

No wait but restaurant was semi full, live music was great, but it was hard to have a conversation. They ran out of burnt ends which I was sad about. I had the trash ribs and they were delicious. The biscuits looked good but they were cold and not very good. The cornbread was good though. The bbq chicken was solid and the strawberry margarita was good and strong. The service was timely and everyone was very helpful. Overall, I would recommend and come back. read more

Virgil's Real BBQ - Trash ribs, corn bread, bbq chicken, biscuits and strawberry margarita - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We love Virgil's barbecue and we've been to the one in New York City and now the other one here in Las Vegas. The location is easy to find and we made reservations and we highly suggest if you're considering dining here that you do an online reservation as they get very, very busy. We arrived on time and we're seated immediately and for the most part the place is clean and they could do a little bit more wiping down to the table and chairs, but that's not a big deal. Our food came out in a very reasonable time, and it was simply outstanding the ribs or killer the brisket the chicken and a pulled pork are all outstanding and extremely flavorful with a different sauces they make If you're in the mood for barbecue in Vegas, give Virgil's consideration you won't be disappointed. read more

My family and I stopped at Virgil's after enjoying a ride on the High Roller Wheel. The staff was super friendly and so was our server who provided us some food options and kept checking on us. We went with The Pigout which had all the meat options and came with two sides. It's supposed to be for two people, but it fit three of us and we still had some extra food.. I have to say that it's one of the best BBQ meals I ever had and each table has three different type of barbecue sauces. For our sides, we had the baked beans and the mac & cheese and my family and I we love the mac & cheese definitely a favorite. The decor was simply and it had a few tv screens where we enjoyed the soccer game. It's definitely a must visit place when you are in Las Vegas. read more

My wife and I came here twice (we were staying nearby at the Flamingo). The first time it was late as we just got done with a ride on High Roller and just wanted a couple appetizers to share. We were greeted and sat quickly, but we were repeatedly ignored by the waitress in our section. Walked by us several times and never greeted us, never offered water, told us she would be by shortly...nothing. Thankfully, another waitress, Nina, took notice of this and came to our table to help us. She acknowledged the other waitress ignoring us (we never said anything), apologized for it (not her fault at all), and put our orders in. She saved the experience, as we were close to walking out before she showed up. Kudos to her. A couple days later we stopped by during the day for lunch. Our waiter on this visit, Andres, was FANTASTIC in every way. Super friendly, prompt, and even gave us a few local tips for a good time along Fremont (we mentioned we were going there later). Between Nina and Andres, they both changed what would've been a negative perception of Virgil's based on the original waitress and turned into a good one. As far as the food goes, the appetizers we had that night were simply ok (cheese fries and hush puppies). However, the bbq is pretty damn good. We ordered the sampler plate so we could try it all. We both agreed that the chicken was the winner, with the tri tip at a close second and ribs in third. We weren't crazy about the pulled pork, though. We would go back. read more

Chaz was an amazing server made the delivery run smoothly and very attentive even though it was a late night. The food was delicious if you can try the Pig Out you get a taste of all of the meats and they do not disappoint. I'd like the sides to be a little bit of a bigger portion. Overall a great experience good food and they have a live musician for the ambiance. Will definitely be back. read more

Virgil's Real BBQ - Banana pudding - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We stopped by Virgil's Real BBQ for some good vibes, and some BBQ. Overall, it was a solid experience with some really good items, but a few things were just average. COMBO PLATTER (Pick 2: Memphis Pork Spare Ribs, Pulled Pork, Smoked 1/4 Chicken, Brisket, or Trash Ribs) I went with the spare ribs and brisket, plus the buttermilk biscuit and mac & cheese for my two sides. The spare ribs were very tender and had a great flavor with just the right amount of BBQ sauce. They weren't overly sauced, which I liked, and you could always add more if you wanted. The brisket was also tender with a nice smoky flavor. Definitely one of the better items we tried. The mac & cheese was cheesy, creamy, and had a thick sauce with a little bit of breadcrumb topping melted on top. It was a good comfort-food side. The buttermilk biscuit had a nice buttery flavor and was really good with added butter. The only thing missing was a little bit of jam or jelly -- not necessary, but a good biscuit with jelly is hard to beat! Chopped Brisket Sandwich with Fries The sandwich came packed with chopped brisket and plenty of sauce. The fries were pretty standard, but they were cooked well and a good side to the sandwich. Brisket Burger with Fries This was a surprise favorite. It's a ground beef burger topped with cheese, chopped brisket, and onion strings. The combination worked really well and it was delicious. Trash Fries (fries with cheese, jalapeños, bacon, and sour cream) Basically loaded fries -- and they were good! They came in a nice portion size and had a good mix of toppings. BBQ Nachos (Topped with brisket, jalapeños, Monterey Jack & cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, and guacamole) These were just okay. With all the toppings combined, they ended up being a little salty for my taste. Popcorn Shrimp (Cornmeal crusted rock shrimp served over popcorn with remoulade) This was probably the weakest item we tried. It wasn't bad, but it was pretty average and nothing really stood out. Overall, Virgil's has some really good BBQ options, especially the brisket, ribs, and brisket burger. A few items missed the mark, but when you go BBQ your there for the meats, not the apps and sides. There were definitely some winners here. read more

Absolutely awesome service here! As soon as you walk in you smell the delicious bbq. The food as always was damn good! The wings were perfect. The brisket was tender with just the right amount of seasoning. Drinks were cold and refreshing on a very hot summer day in Vegas. Well worth the trip to the Lynq promenade. read more

One word : OUTSTANDING This place is sooo darn good ! Located in the busy walkable pathway between flamingo and the linq. Service was beyond amazing ' everyone was so kind / welcoming and sweet. Shoutout to our waiter Jason aka "J" , he was such a pleasure to have as a host. J was dedicated to ensuring my party and I were comfortable , made sure we didn't need anything and ensure his hospitality was top tier ! Food was OMG BOMB !!!! soo much flavor , nice portions and cooked to perfection ! Thank you to kitchen staff ' Ambiance was really nice as well and CLEAN , you do have the option to dine inside or outside .. my party and I went in the morning so we did inside ( cold February morning) I would recommend a reservation for this place as this food was tooo good and the service was equally great !

We went to Virgil's the other night while we were in Las Vegas up at the Linq Promenade. We walked up and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. When we were finally seated our server, Nina came over and checked on us and let us know the lowdown. We started off with an appetizer and a strawberry margarita, which was actually pretty good and ultimately we ended up ordering another one of the strawberry margaritas. In addition she took my wife's order and started to walk away, and I said I didn't order yet and she said oh what would you like? I ordered the burger it was a Virgil's burger without the cheese, but of course when it came, it had cheese on it! she said that was her fault. She forgot! We also had the brisket melt without the cheese and the shrimp appetizer. This place was pretty good. I wouldn't fault her just because our server wasn't that good the place was actually OK and we would probably try it again. read more

Nice ambience for people watching and enjoying the outdoor vibes with High roller view and the hype of Linq promenade. Love the lightings in the late afternoon, shifting from sunset to neon lights. The food is good, highly recommend the trash ribs (sweet sauce) which are deep fried and grilled, very delicious! The Brussels sprouts are super tasty, must try. Sweet potatoes tater tots and the corn bread are enjoyable sides, too. They have happy hour 2-5pm, but we were told that it's only for sitting at the bar. They also have late night happy hour from 10pm, but not every night. Locals get 20% discounts, so not a bad deal considering it's at the center of Strip. read more

Went here due to close proximity to hotel. It wasn't good. The brisket sandwich was more so fatty cheap steak cubes. What irked my soul was we all received cold sandwiches and they tried to justify it by saying the bbq early in the morning and portion it out during the day. Wth? On top of that after our food was delivered was the only time we saw out waiter again after complaining about cold food. I live in Texas so I know what good bbq is. I'd even tolerate mediocre but this mess was trash. read more

I know it's on the Strip and it's over priced & touristy.. anyway we went because we had a gift card. At first glance the place really needs some TLC.. menus are so worn out you can't read the items and dozens of light bulbs need to be replaced throughout the venue. We arrived on a Friday evening around 6pm, there was no hostess at the door, we sat at the bar and it took 10 minutes or more for someone to acknowledge that we were there. We ordered a beer (Virgil's Ale) and the fried pickles. The pickles arrived a cool little cast iron skillet and were nothing special (definitely a frozen product) also there was a good amount of oil on the bottom of the skillet (they could have been drained better, or they could have something on the skillet to absorb the oil) Typical strip, chain casual food. They do offer a good happy hour read more

Came here for a work event. We were set up on the second floor with our own bar and bartenders, our own outside patio overlooking the promenade too. Big buffet with all the meats - brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken.... Also hush puppies, coleslaw, potato salad, rolls and really rich and creamy mac n cheese. They just kept refilling everything, it was delicious. On my second plateful I was like no, stop, don't keep stuffing your face .... but I kept eating! There was no dessert though, I just realized. Since I don't drink anymore I asked the bartender to make me something festive and fruity. She whipped up something really good with fresh fruit juice, not syrup so it wasn't too sweet. I've been here several times just as a regular diner downstairs and it's a lot of fun. Especially when they have a hockey game on the big screen. Recommend this place for dinner or a private party. read more

We were in Las Vegas for a conference that my husband was attending, my husband had brought along some gift cards we had from years ago for Virgil's, and we decided to use them the one evening. We invited my husband's friend/coworker to meet us at the restaurant and we had such a great evening. My husband and I shared the platter for two or I should say it is recommended for two, and it was outstanding. The only thing I have to say is, I wish there would've been more ribs because they were just amazing. Everything was done to perfection, my husband ordered mac & cheese and mashed potatoes and I had the brussels sprouts, so we ended up ordering an extra side with our meal, but it was all very delicious. My husband's friend/coworker had a rib meal and absolutely loved it. I can't say enough about the service, the young lady that we had was outstanding, answered all our questions and was just so very nice. Virgil's is a casual restaurant so you don't need to get dressed up there, it was very packed the evening that we were there and we had reservations. I highly recommend if you want to visit to make reservations just in case our platter did consist of ribs, brisket, pulled pork and chicken, all of the sides and cornbread muffins. We actually had a difficult time finishing the platter. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Virgil's. read more

Came here for lunch. The place is nice on the inside looks like it would be a popping atmosphere when it's busy. The service was nice and my waiter was attentive. I ordered a brisket sandwich. The sandwich was small, especially for the price. But the brisket was pretty tasty. The deviled eggs were good. And their bbq sauces was were really good also. I would come back because I usually judge a spot by the ribs so I want to give em a try. I also had the apple cobbler the crust was really good, came with a small scoop of ice cream. read more

Had such a great time. Meet some friends, had great ribs, chix, honey bacon, plus whatever they ordered. Spiked teas and beer and forgot to take pics. BTW, the ribs were so good, even the cartridge was tender. That's coming from someone who likes cartridge. I must say that Jay was a tremendous server. He added to our fun experience. Knows how to give great service but he knew his food too. There's also one trait he had that is always overlooked, he knows how to read a table. Sorry took the photo after. read more

Virgil's Real BBQ - Empty glasses and to go stuff - Bars Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Have come to Virgil's Real BBQ at the Linq Promenade once a year with a large group - 20+. The area itself is very charming, and inside the restaurant is cool too. Flavor wise, the BBQ is good - no complaints there. The Smoked Old Fashioned was tasty and a good value, all things considered. Unfortunately that's where the good news stops. Value wise - I know Vegas is extremely pricey, but this is no exception. The brisket dinner was almost $40, came with two sides, and had very little meat. Left me wanting more. Big prices, small portions. The biggest issue was the bill. For such a large party you would think splitting the bill by person or by item would make sense. We were told this was not possible. We spent an HOUR dealing with the check business. Our table of 11 had the check divided equally by person. Totally unfair because some will overpay and some will underpay. If you eat and drink little you get ripped off. If you go nuts you pay too little. They gave us a QR code to scan and not everyone could use it because it was US only - we had international travelers in our group. A big mess. It was escalated to the manager, he wasn't any help, just said we can't leave till we paid. Some cards were declined. I paid my part and waited for our party leaders to finish sorting through the mess. Really took close to an hour and soured an otherwise fantastic day in Vegas for the conference. It hurts me to write a bad review because I like the place, but this was ridiculous. No one wants to come back to Virgil's next year because of this. read more

Booked a resy for Thanksgiving. The good: the staff was on point. Very attentive, informative, and knowledgeable of the menu. Great vibe, live musician. The restaurant contacted us in advance to determine if we wanted their Thanksgiving feast plate or order off the menu. We did majority menu and two turkey plates. Portions are generous and large. The bad: food was lukewarm to cold. Particularly fries and mash potato's. Meat doesn't necessarily have to be hot but I agree with other reviews that the brisket seemed more like roast beef. Pulled pork was mid. Ribs were decent. The turkey folks said the best party of their feast ( stuffing, brussel sprouts, turkey green beans and biscuit) were the Brussels and the brisket. Overall: great for large groups such as ours (party of 8) and the people Working we're truly kind and friendly. Tad bit pricey- a combo plate two meats was $35. The turkey plates were $50 or $60. *disclaimer- I live in the BBQ capital of TX (Austin/Lockhart area) so I also have certain expectations. read more

Was looking for some bbq near the Strip, so we stopped by Virgil's. Overall there were some dishes we liked but were left fairly disappointed. We got the Pig Out which is like a sampler platter of everything. The best imo was the pulled pork which had great flavor. The pork ribs were too tough, the brisket was mediocre, and the chicken was just okay. The Mac n cheese and dirty rice were both pretty good. The service was just okay, it wasn't busy at all when we went but we were still waiting at times. We went on a Sunday and they have plenty of tv's for football if that's what you're into. I probably wouldn't come back unfortunately. read more

Have walked by this place near the Linq a few times and have always been curious about it. The DJ playing in their patio is always playing the jams so I was intrigued to dine there. We were seated quickly by our host. Our waitress addressed us right away and came by to take our order when she was able. We ordered a combo plate with ribs and brisket. It came with two sides so we got Brussel sprouts and mac and cheese. My niece got a kid's ribs plate with fries. We also ordered the corn bread skillet and fried shrimp. The food was good. The ribs were tasty and juicy. The brisket was a little dry and tough. I liked the mac and cheese and the corn bread a lot too. Overall, it was a good experience. To add, my niece was about ready to lose a tooth and started crying. The waitress was so nice to her and helped to quickly get her a milk shake to cool off her gums. Appreciated her a lot! read more

We had such a great experience at Virgil's! We ordered the deluxe meal for two, "The Pig Out" ($72.95), with five meats, two sides of our choice, and warm cornbread--and it was worth every penny.

The service was OUTSTANDING -- thank you, Jessie, for making my husband's birthday so incredibly special!
