    Visited with my husband and 2yo for Thanksgiving in NYC. We were looking for a good “home cooked” Thanksgiving meal. Service, food, and environment were fantastic! Highly recommend!

    The food at Virgil’s is always top notch. We ate at there recently on a very busy evening. Even so, our server Tom was exceptionally friendly and attentive. All our needs were met. Great meal. I highly recommend it

    Does exactly what it says on the tin. good honest food (especially for meat lovers!) in a typical American Sports style bar/restaurant. If you are after a decent steak, ribs, and big portions with some sport on TV in the background - this is your place. This is no micheli starred nonsense, just good, honest BBQ type food with some decent beer. And for NYC reasonably priced!

    22 of us ate here tonight and most of us had cold or room temperature food. I LOVE this place so I took my events group here. Makes me very sad to rave about this place and get that
