While everyone has an opinion about barbecue, most will agree that Virgil’s is a super choice. Manners are thrown to the wind at Virgil’s, a sprawling hog pit located in the hear of Times Square where ribs, juicy chicken, tomato-based pulled pork, Memphis pit beans, and spicy collard greens are gobbled up in record time. The noise can be deafening, but there really isn’t time to talk once the food arrives. The warm, fluffy buttermilk biscuits usually quiet everyone down rather quickly. The warm decor, which features firewood ovens, raw wood floors, an extended bar, dark wood accents, and a roll of paper towels on each table, is a perfect pairing for the down-home cuisine.
