| - We had a restaurant.com certificate and tried this place because it wasn't too far from home. Didn't know until later there was an even closer location on Eastern.
We had no idea until we sat down that whoever owns Ellis Island, seems to own the Village Pub chain as well. The food was fairly similar, except without the 6.99 steak special of course. They do have their own specials such as ribs, fish and chips, etc. The best part was they served the wonderful Ellis Island Beer, for just 3 bucks. While not as cheap as getting it from Ellis Island, it was a hell of a lot closer to drive to. Not to mention, it was a lot colder. We came here on a seriously hot day, and I ordered the Hefeweisen with lemon. Not only was the beer severely cold, but the glasses were too. It really hit the spot on such a humid day.
For food, we tried the hot wings, which were big, and very hot and crispy. They served them fresh out of the fryer. Not the best tasting I have ever had but prepared very well. I had the fish and chips platter. Again, not the best I have had compared to fish and chips in Seattle, but for Vegas they were delicious. The fries could have been better but for the cheap 8.99 price, I honestly didn't care. My husband got the chicken parmesan pannini. This sandwich had one of the biggest, thickest chicken breast I have ever seen served in a restaurant. Very heavy but delicious.
We ended up having lots of leftovers, and the waitress was so cool that she gave me fresh tartar sauce and lemon to go with my fish to go, and malt vinegar. She was so good that we ended up tipping her over the 18% the restaurants usually add for usually a restaurant.com certificate.
This meal only cost us $18 for the two of us, which included beer with the certificate, making it an incredible bargain. While not a beacon of gastronomy, for the price it was pretty damn incredible and deserves 5 stars.
