Are any meat lovers reading this? Do lovers of grilled meat read this? If I say there is a restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip that fills two huge smokers with 2,000 pounds of meat a day, would you be tempted? Virgil’s Real Barbecue isn’t kidding when it comes to meat and what they do with said meat. Originally from New York, Virgil’s has been grilling all types of meat since 1994, from Texas-style brisket to Carolina-style pork to competition-style ribs.
With a large outdoor deck that’s great for people-watching, Virgil’s menu is jam-packed with Southern-flavored delicacies from Texas chili, crispy hush puppies, fried sweet pickles and chicken wings to burgers, sandwiches and salads. But the tastiest reason to visit? The grilling, of course! Tear Memphis-style pork ribs, beef brisket, smoked barbecue chicken, and Carolina pulled pork out of the smoker. Plates come with side dishes like kale, mac and cheese, cheddar groats, coleslaw and more. We suggest unbuttoning these pants for dessert – the banana pudding is quite addicting.
