I know I'm an outlier here but I think this place is 2.5 stars. I'm from the Sout and also lived in St. Louis and went with another die hard BBQer who grew up in fl and la. Everyone was very nice but was overwhelmed with the long lines for dinner and the food was just ok. Had baby back and regular ribs which were tough, brisket was dry, and Mac and cheese just ok. Maybe it was an off night but for vegas ellis island is still my go to place.
