Winning Ribs

by lord_humongous

Stepping into the Ellis Island casino is like stepping back in time. When you walk into their barbeque this also includes old time prices. There are no menus since they only serve two things; ribs and chicken. Where else in the world can you get an amazing half-rack of ribs with a ton of sides for only eight bucks? If that weren't great enough they also brew their own beer which is only $1.50 a glass.

Beware! This Las Vegas secret is no longer very secret so there can be a wait of an hour or more to get a table in the Ellis Island barbeque. But that just gives you time to play a few slots and sample their beers.

I plan on returning to Las Vegas solely to enjoy more Ellis Island ribs.

• Pros: Great ribs, Great prices, Good beer
• Cons: Long wait, poor service

Best food off the Beaten Path

by nashvegas1963

We came upon this old casino and 24/7 restaurant from the bellhop at the Bellagio where we were staying. We decided to walk here since it seemed very close....but much to my surprise it was a bit further but did not matter with a beautiful night and a cocktail in hand. As we approached the restaurant we laughed but as we entered and sat at a table....we were very amused and enjoyed the local atmosphere. The food was great and the drinks not watered down. Where can you go for $15.00 and have Steak and eggs, Shrimp scampi, two glasses of wine and a tall guy in purple sequins entertain you as you ate. We loved this place and will always put it on our agenda with our trips to Vegas.

Quite Satisfied

Nashville, Tennessee

• Pros: Always a table
• Cons: Few waiters

BEST BEER IN THE LAND BAR NONE. BREWED ON SITE AND SO FRESH IT HAS A REAL HEAD ON IT.

by hyrdr

Yea she's a crowded packed house whenever I have been in there and all the locals know why. It's the best bargain on good food 24/7. But thaats not the best thing going. I cant speak much of the payouts cept that the largest I have ever seen paid is here. Seriously counting for five minutes with security. This Karoke pro must not be a beer drinker. Too bad. Six taps brewed and chilled on site making this the best beer I have ever drank and I drink a LOT of beer. I would say it is the best in the land and only $1.00 for a 20oz glass now whats wrong with that??? Karoke boy must be expecting star search or something. Too bad he cant see why it is CROWDED. DRINK A BEER!!!!! drink ten. Seriousli I tried them all twice around and settled on the Pilsner for the next 4 and switched back to the light and it still was flavorfull. The Brewmaster Joe knows what he is doing. I cant wait to go back this month. BTY I walked out and got a cab back to the Mirage. So here's the deal. Get a Shrimp cocktail appitizer. Order a light beer and get in line for the Rib dinner. 5 course fallin off the plate for what I think &10.00. Ha! If you cant eat it all just order the steak special. $4.95. Drink More beer. Ask for a tour of the brewery. It is the cleanest micro brewery I have ever seen. So find Paris casino and directly behind it is a Grain Silo in this unimpressive buliding. Go inside and enjoy. Karoke...LOL Well,,,, some people paint. JOE brews beer. Life is short. Learn what beer should be.

• Pros: Great kitchen and fantastic microbrew beer
• Cons: Too many locals are drinking all the beer up
