Great food and service! I loved their shrimp tacos and carnitas bowl. They have a vast selection of beverages as well which I really appreciated!
Friendly staff. Great food at a great value.All of the food is made in front of you.
Absolutely spectacular! So if you're reading this review, you're probably thinking Ellis Island it can't be a high-end restaurant. But you're dead wrong! While it may not appear to be high-end, the food is very very good and is worth the trip for a decent price. It doesn't seat a lot of people. It's not huge but it is great food, small menu, basically chicken or ribs or a combination of both. It's one of the few restaurants in the area that doesn't cost a ton of money to have a good meal. I've had breakfast here. Great lunch great and now dinner is spectacular. I urge anyone who's in the area that likes barbecue stop by and eat this food
I ate in the main restaurant and this is the best prices in Las Vegas. I had the NY strip with shrimp and a couple of Margaritas and a couple of brews that were brewed on site. The margaritas were 8 dollars and the beers were four dollars. The dinner was only 21.99.
I was with a large group and it was the first time we had a affordable meal. My steak wasn't the greateat cut but for the price I couldn't complain. I have been going here for over 20 years and it is the best value in Vegas
Hidden BBQ joint a few blocks from the strip. Only $4 a pint of beer!!
I had the half rack of pork ribs, bbq half chicken, corn on the cob, coleslaw, beans, and garlic bread. The amount of food you get could feed 2 easily for only $20!
Limited menu but the items they do very well.
Tender and tasty BBQ in Vegas.
Generous portions at very reasonable prices. I had the full rack of baby back ribs. I’m a big eater and had to take half home. Can’t beat $4 draught craft beers!
Visited today and ordered full rack of ribs. Food was delicious.
Lots of TV"s to watch Monday Night football. So decent experience.
This restaurant is in the rear of the casino.
The ribs were tender and tasty with good sides and craft beer. Their dry Irish stout is a good copy of Guinness with more flavor. Signing up for their players card gets you $3 off.

Ribs are amazing. Worth every cent. My husband loved the chicken too. If your in Vegas it's about 10min walk away from flamingo. Worth the walk.
Menu is basic... chicken and ribs...
That being said, you only serve 2 things. They have to be good, right? Both are ripe and fall of the bone tender.
They come with corn on the cob, baked beans, and coleslaw.
Sides need improvement.
Our waiter was amazing and deserved the 100% tip! He was attentive, cheerful, kind, and very patient with these old ladies.

I have been going to Ellis Island including the Barbecue place off and on for about 5 years. I usually go about once every 6 months. It is VERY consistent. Food is good, relatively inexpensive for a tourist spot. About $20 a person.
It's a solid 4 stars, but not a 5 star for me. I never understood why there are no starches offered such as potatoes or potato salad. The meal comes with your protein (ribs or chicken), baked beans, coleslaw, garlic bread, 2 pieces of corn. Service the glasses are big but yet I was not offered a refill for my soda, so only 4 stars on the service. (Yes it was empty - not trying to be difficult). The half a chicken was the smallest chicken I've seen in my life (but still enough for me).
Overall Recommended.
Oh, let me tell you about my recent visit to Ellis Island Barbeque! I'm still in awe of their lightning-fast service. It's like you're barely settled into your seat and boom, there's your food!
And the ribs? Oh my, they're something else. They're so fantastic that I'm still dreaming about them. Perfectly cooked with a smoky flavor that just melts in your mouth - it's pure bliss. I can't remember the last time I had ribs this good!
The staff there are top-notch too. They were all so friendly and attentive. Made me feel right at home. As if the amazing food wasn't enough, their great service really sealed the deal for me.
So, if you're asking me, I'd say Ellis Island Barbeque is currently serving up some of the best barbeque experiences you can get. Can't wait for my next visit!
