Ellis Island Ribs

Thinking about doing the EI chicken & ribs on the patio next trip.
HONESTLY.... how good are the ribs ???

I've done the steak/prime rib special numerous times and 97/100 times it's pretty damn good and a helluva deal.
Best ribs I've ever had and another great EI deal. Get the full rack and enjoy them outside.
We went there for the first time last summer and really enjoyed the ribs. During our trip last month, we wanted to go back, but forgot that the rib place opens at 4pm daily. We got there at lunchtime, so ended up at the other restaurant instead. Enjoyed that also!
Last summer I wanted to give the ribs a try but there was an hour long wait. They did however have immediate patio seating but the temperature at the time was something like 108 degrees, no thanks. I decided to just eat in the other restaurant ordering the king cut prime rib ($12.99) which comes with their homemade root beer, very good. I think it comes with soup or salad, bread, choice of potato, and hot veggies.

I never had the ribs but the people wait in line for them so I assume they must be good (maybe they have a coupon and it's free food?). My wife and I walked through the line to check it out around 3:45 before it opened and by the looks on the faces of the people in line who thought we might be line cutters... Man, it would have been ugly for Snidely and Mrs. Snidely.

They smell really good.
Thanks guys (and/or ladies)
Guess we'll just have to give them a try.
I must have caught them on a bad night, because I thought they sucked. They reminded me of the prepackaged ribs you buy in a supermarket.

Hmmmmmm.....that would NOT be good ! (I think pre-packaged suck too)
I have always heard great reviews of their ribs. We had their ribs last summer and they were great! Especially if you have the b1g1 coupon, it is a great value!

Every year we make sure and get the ribs on one of our trips. Get there around 3:30 to sign up, use the drink coupon while waiting and the BOGO for the ribs. We're from BBQ country and the rib dinner at EI is worth getting.
