| - My husband and I tried this place after looking for ideas on Yelp. We were not disappointed. Most all of the previous reviewers were spot on. Ellis Island casino and Brewery is small and dive-y in appearance and the location is not enticing. As you enter, you will notice the strong cigarette presence. The restaurant is actually the 24/7 Cafe in the back corner. The seating is done by a number system. My husband ordered the prime rib dinner which comes with soup or salad, choice of potato, green beans and a micro beer or root beer. I ordered the grilled salmon. Both meals were nicely done. Our waitress seemed disinterested but efficient. Another waiter brought out our meal, however, it was 2 meals of prime rib, which I suspect belonged to another table. I explained to the waiter that one of the plates he brought out was what my husband ordered, so he left it on our table and returned the other to the kitchen. I had to wait an extra 5 minutes until my salmon entree came out. But 4 minutes prior, the waiter brought another 2 plates of prime rib to the table behind us.
Bottom line, if looking for a restaurant with a large selection, decent taste and inexpensive, come to this place, but come early to avoid waiting too long.
