We had read about Virgil's in many books and couldn't wait to try it. We were seated promptly. After I used a plunger in the bathroom to stop an overflowing toilet, we ordered ribs and pulled pork. We were both disappointed in the ribs which were dry, fatty, and overcooked. The pulled pork was slightly better. The potato salad tasted liked it had hot sauce in it. Neither of us cared for the cole slaw. The best thing was their corn bread, and I don't usually like corn bread! I would rate this restaurant as mediocre and not advise anyone to choose it.
