How could you NOT love Ellis Island? I have been here quite a few times, usually late at night, and after a night of clubbing with out of town visitors. You can't go wrong eating the $3.99 steak special! Be aware: the restaurant gets really crowded late at night. You will have to wait for a table, and the service is slower than molasses. So don't go here if you are in a hurry to get to bed!
I was most recently here during the day for the Food Truck Mash-Up, and what a blast! Unfortunately, I only got to eat at 2 of the 4 trucks - I was just too full to try any others! Ellis Island was serving their own brews for only $1.75, what a deal!
To me, this is the kind of place that "Old Vegas" was all about. Cheap food, nice people and low limit tables (they have $3 blackjack). I send all of my friends from out of town here, because not everyone wants to spend hundreds of dollars on some drunk food! :)
