| - This review is focused on the Barbecue restaurant at Ellis Island, although I like the casino, too! It's small, but comfortable - although a bit smoky.
We've been eating at the barbecue restaurant at Ellis Island for years. Because of this, I've never had chance to eat at any of the other food opportunities there! This visit was our first time since they moved the barbecue restaurant to the other side of the casino. I guess I like that our large group can now sit inside - a bonus on particularly hot, cold or windy nights, but I did like the patio on beautiful nights!
First, you need to know that it's still small! Unless you get there just as they are opening, you're gonna wait to be seated. Just plan for it. Know it. Deal with it. It's okay. They're open 4-10. Your wait will give you time to get a players club card so you can get your discount coupon. You want that because the already low prices will be even lower with it.
.
Once you do get seated, you have an enormous menu to choose from. You get either a half rack of ribs, a full rack of ribs, a half a chicken, or a half rack of ribs and half a chicken. That's it. That's the menu. With each of those meals, you get beans, corn, cole slaw and bread. I think the most expensive one is maybe $12 (with the coupon). The meat is delicious. The price is right. The service is good. Oh, and it's a brewery, so you get REALLY GREAT beer for about $2.50.
Best deal in Vegas. Trust me.
