    Food was quick to the table. Pulled pork and ribs were really good. Brisket was very tender but cold so the fat was unappetizing. 1/4 chicken was dry and overcooked. Same with the wings. Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were very good as well. Overall it was good BBQ but could have been so much better.

    The food was good. One suggestion for chef: if you add bacon to collard vegetables like we had in ours - please note it in the menu! I expect vegetables to be purely vegetables - without the meat. If you choose to add a non-vegetable like bacon for flavor - you should disclose it so patrons are aware.

    Not a fan, sat in the dark basically, asked our server and she said nothing she could do. Other tables had decent lighting. Food wasn’t anything to brag about. Wouldn’t recommend.

    Food was great, lots of it! We could not finish the platter for two, but we had also ordered an appetizer of onion rings. Great location down the "alley" between Harrah's and Linq. Sit outside and watch the people. The reason for the four star instead of the five, no one could get the outdoor heater lit. The server asked if wanted to go inside instead, but we went here to sit outside. They had the heaters, just apparently no one on staff to make the effort it lit.

    Service was the worst we experienced in Vegas. I wish it was a fast casual joint so that I could get my own stuff-- really was that bad. Food was too salty, and the ribs were dry AF. The slaw and potato salad was the highlight...lol.

    Awesome service for the accommodations we had created. Had 12 people and they were able to seat us at 2 tables next to each other. Because of traffic half our party was late but server was awesome to wait for everyone as we ordered drinks and apps. Food was great and filling! Had a great time!

    Perfect spot outdoors to people watch. DJ playing also added to the Vegas vibe. Food was delicious and came out super fast, which was appreciated due to our late dining. Ribs were outstanding as was the mac and cheese, awesome comfort food! Enjoyed the fresh vegetables and cornbread, couldn’t even finish it all, drinks were good too.

    Our server, Emily, was very good! Really appreciated her attention and positivity. Food was good, having lived in TX for a long time it is hard to compare to what I would consider great bbq. The brisket was dry. I wished I had tried to ribs. OK place to eat, very casual and easy.

    Brisket was tough as nails. Who would ever serve a tough dry brisket like that and call it good? Very disappointing. We went because the website said there would be live music upstairs - we made a reservation and we’re looking forward to it. But when we arrived we found that the website lied…there was no music. It was a bait and switch. And it was too late to go elsewhere because everyone was full and we would have needed a reservation. To top it all off, they charge 23 bucks to park at the Linq. TWENTY THREE FREAKING DOLLARS!!! the meal was nearly 100 then 23 bucks for about 75 minutes of parking just for some dried up brisket.

    Kinda noisy but service was good. The pork ribs are to die for! No sauces needed for them! The brisket had a good crust but was a little dry and needed sauce. I'll still come back but only for the ribs.

    Very happy with our meal at Virgil's. Had a reservation but really didn't need one, it wasn't too busy. My daughter and I split the pulled pork platter with 2 sides and it was delicious. Glad we split it so that we could enjoy the banana pudding dessert.
