    This well frequented restaurant has a friendly staff and is well located if visiting Time Square. Our salads were crisp and well sized. Our kettle chips were at room temperature and very small in size. Our nachos were warm at best and the added chicken was in large strips and some of it was the fatty part of the chicken. Our sons had 1/4 rack of ribs which were good but not great and were pricey. They were disappointed in the sides and this includes the fries. Overall, if you are looking for a mediocre southern American style meal, this your place.

    We says and waited 25 minutes before talking to a manager as to why nobody served us. The food was SO salty and covered in sauce so much it took away from the meat. I don’t see the appeal at all. The food was just not good.

    Good food and atmosphere as usual. Extra special thank you to service staff who ran out to find me half way down the street in the cold to return my wallet that I left on the table. That’s extraordinary service. Much gratitude!

    Great service food was very delicious! We haven't been to Virgils since way before the pandemic. We were very happy that everything was just as we remembered. We will be back in the near future.
