    Family of 4 from the U.K. food was ok, came out hot, not as tasty as we thought with this being a BBQ themed restaurant. Prices were ok considering it is on the linq promenade, prob won’t visit it again.

    Greeted at the front entrance with a huge smile, our server was super-friendly and helpful throughout our visit and the food was marvellous. This is a quirky venue, industrial looking and with a mixture of indoor, outdoor and high table seating. There’s a great range of foods, steaks burgers huge salads and of course BBQ. The flavour of the brisket is wonderful, with a tasty layer of Smokey flavour, the pulled pork was juicy and tasty. I had sides of Mac and cheese and beans, both wonderfully tasty and flavoursome. This is a busy and bustling venue, and you can see why. One of the best value eats on the Strip.

    Was seated right away, very attentive service. Had the brisket (super tender and juicy) and Trash Ribs (saucy and fall off the bone). Very generous portions, couldn't even finish my platter. Will go again for sure.

    Excellent BBQ. Ribs are St. Louis dry rub. BBQ Beef Brisket is one of the best we experienced. Value for the money not so good but expected right off strip Vegas. Atmosphere was nice. Choice of indoor or outdoor comfortable seating. Choice of BBQ sauces limited to 3 Hot. Mild sweet & Jalapeno-Mango. We should have ordered the feast for 2 for better value.

    The BBQ ribs have a lot of room for improvement! Unfortunately, neither the taste nor the tenderness of the meat, the food did not hold what was advertised as "best BBQ in Las Vegas". Location ok.

    We visited Virgil’s Real BBQ for the first time today for Mother’s Day breakfast. We wanted to try somewhere new and boy were we glad we did. The food and the service was excellent! BBQ is not typical breakfast food in our minds but such a pleasant surprise! Steak and eggs, brisket egg sandwich, French toast, pancakes, and even a breakfast burrito were on the menu and all done with fresh ingredients and great flavors. We will definitely be back to try they’re lunch and dinner items!

    Wait to get service once we were sat was very long. Hostess ended up having to get our drink order after waiting over 10 minutes. My daughters food was wrong and had to be re-made. Other than that, the server was friendly once we finally arrived and the food was tasty.
