Menu consists of 4 items: full rack ribs, 1/2 rack ribs, 1/2 ribs & 1/2 chicken, and 1/2 chicken (each large portion served with Ellis Island root beer, barbeque baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw & garlic bread). Each item is discounted for players club members. Patrons must be 21 years or older. Eat in or take out.
This restaurant was reviewed in the September 2009 LVA; some of the information contained in the review may no longer be accurate. Ellis Island loves that we constantly tout its Café offerings, but they’ve also been begging us to try the barbecue. We did and now we know why. Served seven days a week from 4 to 10 p.m. in the separate dining area near the bar, there are only four choices and you need to show an EI players card to get the lower ($3-off) prices: full rack of ribs $11.99/$14.99, half-rack of ribs $7.99/$10.99, half-chicken $6.99/$9.99, and combo $8.99/$11.99. All come with corn on the cob, cole slaw, baked beans, and toast. Unless you’re a ribs or chicken maniac, the combo is the way to go. It’s a huge amount of food for $8.99 and it’s excellent (we’ve had confirmation from several readers that this is among their favorite barbecue plays in town). Must be 21. Note that several barbecue restaurants have closed recently, including Salt Lick at Santa Fe, BBQ Shak, Adam’s Ribs, and both locations of one of our favorites, Barbeque Masters.
