Ellis Island Barbecue

Craving prime rib and didn’t want to pay a ton of money on the strip while visiting Vegas. Front desk recommendation from another location along with the shuttle driver. Could use more seasoning and flavor.

If I ever return to Las Vegas, this will be one of the first restaurants I go back to. It’s a hidden gem just a block away from the Strip — a true local spot that still carries the classic spirit of old-school casino dining. The King Cut Prime Rib was far beyond what I expected for the price. It’s not just a “good deal” — it’s an excellent dish, perfectly cooked, juicy, and incredibly generous in portion. The Fish & Chips was also flawless — crispy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. It felt like the real, authentic version of this comfort food done right. If you’re looking for a place in Vegas that serves real food with heart and flavor, this is it.

Surprisingly good and affordable food. I had their King Cut Prime Rib and it wasn’t disappointing. It was fairly good for the $35. I have to admit the wait time was ok, 15 minutes. The hilarious observation I have is with the guy that delivers your food to the table. Please note that he is not mean or rude, but man does he not care or give a crap. Maybe it’s the volume of work and having to serve too many people. The man literally placed my plate on top of my knife, plate lop sided and all (lol), then he left. I saw similar type of behavior with other tables around my area. So, I don’t blame the guy nor do I think he is mean or rude, I just think he is focused 100% on his job of delivering food to tables. I would definitely come back though. The food prices and the quality of the food are

Great atmosphere is you enjoy sports The service was great! Everyone was super friendly and prompt Unfortunately, the bbq Meats were not cooked well. Very dry brisket; and the sausages were cut prior to being put on the grill, so they too lost all their moisture. Oddly, the opposite was true about the brussel sprouts, they were under cooked. Go figure... We did ask our server about it, who admitted some of their chefs are better than others. So I guess it's hit or miss at this place

I need to " *" this with. The facility is getting an upgrade, but I do not think it's going to affect the restaurant area. So be prepared, it it very run down. Looks to be straight out of a '70 steak hoint movie seen. Let's start with the Caesar salad, it was great, perfect amount of flavor! I ordered a "1962" cocktail, which is just a very watered down Old fashioned. And I mean VERY watered down! And I had the ribs, they tasted great but then I started pulling out hairs... 3 in total, to be exact. My wife tried to convince me that they were animal hairs, and when I pointed it out to the waitress, her stance is that they were from the sauce brush. Regardless, my meal was ruined. I don't care where they actually came from, NO MEAL SHOULD EVER HAVE HAIR IN IT!!!!!
