Some fries were made to be a side. Train Wreck Fries were made to steal the show. 🍟🔥

Loaded with slow-smoked brisket and all the BBQ fixin’s, these are the kind of fries National Fry Day was made for. One order. Plenty to share. ...If you’re feeling generous.

🔥 THE RIBS EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT 🔥

Meet the star of the smoker: Virgil's Favorite Duroc Pork Spareribs. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and our signature pork dry rub, then slow-smoked low and slow by Pit Boss Mike until they're fall-off-the-bone tender with that irresistible caramelized bark. 🍖

Why Duroc? Exceptional marbling means richer flavor, juicier bites, and the kind of ribs that make you forget about everything else on the table.

One bite and you'll understand why they're a Virgil's favorite.
