Love love love. I grew up going to this restaurant with my parents and was absolutely devastated the day they changed it to 21+. I had to wait about 8 years to make my return to the Ellis island bbq. Once I turned 21, it was one of my first stops. Best ribs in town for sure, they have definitely earned that honor. At a great price too, under $20 for a full rack of ribs and plenty of sides
This is a real meal deal!! BBQ CHICKEN AND RIBS with sides! Thats the menu! It is a must GO for most of our guests. Comes with sides and great service. Reasonably priced, better with a players card discount. Food is basically all prepared so it's a fast deliver to table. Highly recommend and ENJOY.
All that's available are various combinations of only three items on the menu: a half BBQ chicken, a half and full rack of ribs. I had food envy as most everyone seated around me had ordered giant plates of food but I was practical and opted for the half rack of ribs. I am a huge eater but it was more than I could finish. Ribs were delicious, tender, and basted with that sweet bbq sauce that caramelized nicely on the grill. Meats are served with baked beans, two cobs of corn, a slice of foccacia, and a cup of coleslaw which was my least favorite part of the meal. I usually love coleslaw but no big deal, I definitely wasn't here for the vegetables! Hand your server your active Players Club card for a $3 discount on an already inexpensive dinner! This place is a total winner. Yum!
YUM....did I mention YUM !!! Got here when they opened one day and was immediately seated. The location is inside the Ellis island casino toward the rear. There are plenty slots to play while waiting for it to open or waiting to be seated. The menu is quite basic but exactly what you would want from a bbq restaurant. Now onto the food. Sorry I didn't take pics because it looked so good I could not wait to eat it. The full rack of ribs just fell off the bone. The sauce was delicious along with the beans and Cole slaw which accompanied the plate. My bbq chicken was flavorful and tender. Our pitcher of beer was ice cold. Yes this place is inside a casino but wow the food is truly amazing. I look forward to returning. See you again soon !!!
Is it the best BBQ you will ever have? No, but it's always solid and reasonably priced. Staff is friendly and prompt as well.
