| - Myself and 3 buddies were on a three day trip to Vegas. I had looked up Ellis Island on the Internet before we left and it was about 1/3 of a mile from the Flamingo, where we were staying, Ellis is a little off the Strip, but felt perfectly safe. It is located next to a 7-11, so if you want to pick up a beer on the way back to the Strip, it makes it easy.
Ellis has a morning steak and eggs special with home-style potatoes and 2 slices of toast. A heck of a deal, and the steak is actually really good and the eggs I got were a perfect sunny side up. Not too runny.
Ellis also brews their own beer, I got the IPA every time, plus you get a huge pilsner glass of it for $2.25. They also have a light, a stout, an amber and a hefeweizen. Plus they have To-go cups. Score!
We ate here about 4 times, but it was too late for the breakfast special so I got the chicken Phillie hoagie, again, really well made. Lots of flavorful onions and peppers with juicy chicken and I got a $3 side salad with blue cheese, which hit the spot.
Our service was fantastic every time. We even had the same waitress three times.
This place is a solid five star for what it is. Old school Vegas eating with quality food and cheap prices. I usually got the breakfast special and 2 beers, and with tip it ran about $12 every time!
Each time we went at night, it was a 40 minute wait to get seated, so Ellis also has a pizza place and an awesome hoagie shop, both were very good back up plans!
Lots of laughs on a great trip with cheap, great food and beer!
