I love, love, love Ellis Island! We've been coming here for years, even before we moved to Vegas in 04!
What we love about Ellis Island:
Cheap drinks- my Couvoisier and coke is under $5 each. Hard lemonade $2, everything is dirt cheap
Cheap eats- we eat here quite often, the food is good for what you pay. I usually get the steamed clams or linguine with clams, but their clam chowder is pretty darn good.
BBQ- the BBQ place is a must stop for my aunt when she comes to Vegas, she was the one that turned us onto the BBQ joint here and she's a caterer so knows her food. But the portions are HUGE for what you pay and we're talking lip smacking good BBQ
Overall- this is a locals joint so don't expect service like you would on the strip or atmosphere unless you are looking for old school Vegas...its dark and dingy in there and smells of smoke but I still LUV it!!
