This place is legit! Good food for a fantastic price!
I was looking for a cheap dinner near the strip and Ellis Island popped up on my Yelp search. I looked at the pics and was sold on trying the place.
I was a little skeptical about this place on my walk here. It's near the Super 8 motel and it is an older casino/semi run down.
There was a few minute wait for my party of 3 and there were a lot more people waiting for tables when I was finishing up my meal.
We ordered:
- burger with bacon and cheese + steak fries $6.99: pretty large burger and the bun was delicious and evenly buttered. Steak fries were bomb as well. My bf ate my leftovers a few hours later (1/3 burger and 1/2 fries) and still said it was good.
- chicken with portobello mushrooms & rice $8.99: the rice is sooo flavorful! No additional seasoning needed here! Chicken chunks are cooked perfectly and the feta cheese gives the dish a nice kick.
- steak + baked potato + green beans + FREE home brewed root beer $7.99: the steak had no fat and was cooked the way it was ordered. My dad said the root beer was a little too sweet and didn't finish it.
Our waiter, Eugene, was very friendly. He answered my questions about the food and stuck with me through my indecisiveness...burger or steak. Then he started to joke around with us too, so bonus for cool waiters.
My experience here was great and I would most def come back to eat here if I was in the area. Prices are great and you will leave with a full stomach.
