The Front Yard

2 of 2 reviewsQuality/Quantity - Yes, a "me" day! My wife and daughter went to CES (I quit, I do not enjoy the event any more). Last year I spent it at the sports bar and had TOOOOOO much fun... This year, I will be good.Ellis Island Brewery has been on my list to visit for years... Out of all the restaurants here, this one's my favorite. BTW - The casino is going through a remodel.Today I got the following:Brisket sliders - Not bad, but not good. I prefer my brisket medium rare, and this was very well done, disguised in extra sauce... The flavor and quantity was okay. I probably will not order this again.And of course, a flight of beer to wash it all down:Little Foot Amber Ale - Of course, my current go-to beer.Black Hill Schwarzbier - Not usually a dark drinker, but this was not bad, not too harsh.Cold Hearted Women Love IPA - So did this cold hearted man, lol. Mas Fuego Rauchbier - BBQ aroma, complimented the sliders perfectly.In summary, come here for the beer. I might skip the food next time.Well, if I try other dishes, I will update.Brunch, happy hour, etc. menus also available.Atmosphere - Love the huge indoor/outdoor space, see pictures.Plenty of bar, table seating.TVs for entertainment, of course for sports.Gaming available, but not today. Well I am sure they have gaming if you sat at the bar.Love the modern restrooms and the outside sinks, see pictures.Events, Mega Mondays, Trivia Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays, watch parties, games, live music, extended HH, etc.; see website.Just noticed on your website that you have two stories?... 350 capacity. Service - 5 stars, friendly and efficient.Price - $25 + generous tip.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019. Next trip I will bring my buddies for your beer (and maybe food).

What a terrible experience!A group of 6 of us made a reservation a week ago through OpenTable (recommended from their site) and we selected a high top for 3:30pm. We had to put a credit card input to lock in the reservation as well. We especially were excited for the AYCE $45 food option. We showed up at 3:30pm and there wasn't a table available for an hour. A tight fitting booth is available while we wait. Assistant general manager came over and said that it should have not allowed to book at the odd time as start and end of football games are allowed. Blamed it on OpenTable. We decided to cram in the booth area. Thirty minutes after in the booth, had a drink as well, they had a high top all ready for us. Cool! Sat down and server came over and advised that she was told of the inconveniences that we had so far. She was compassionate and explained the rules around the AYCE which typically only allows any guests to start at game time, which for us was 10minutes away. She said that she would allow us to out food in considering the situation. No where did it state this on their menu but glad she was understanding. We put a drink order in and while she was away, assistant general manager came over to table and overrode everything she said. We needed to wait the 5-10 minutes and then order. And as a bonus, the beer we had could be added into their AYCD package if wanted. Thanks, I guess?? I told him that I don't want to wait, he said it's only 5 minutes, I said we have been waiting well past our reservation. We decided to leave. Server came back and apologized again and I explained that everything was smoothened out when she took care of us but why did assistant general manager need to come by and put down his foot??? Why no flexibility at all, what was up with him? Enforcing all these random rules and not knowing how to manage guests that are wanting the AYCE is clearly not a forte with him cause looking around, NO ONE had any plates of food. No one!I really hope the general manager gets a hold of us. We are 6 guys that we're looking forward to good football, great food (their menu did look fantastic) and good drinks. The militant policies and lack of ownership and flexibility will never have we come back nor recommend the place. I will definitely go out of my way to share our experience.

The outside of the casino is going through construction, but when we got in, there were lots of signs pointing to The Front Yard. The place itself is very open with lots of windows and TVs playing the basketball and football games! We waited a bit before the hostess sat us down. She was so sweet and welcoming. Our server came shortly after to take our order, and she was also so kind. We came on Christmas Day and they made our visit feel so comfortable. My partner got the Caveman Skillet, and I got the Berry Berry Salad with Chicken.The skillet meat was super hearty with really flavorful brisket. The is a typical American breakfast, but the meat pairs really well with the egg and cheese.For my salad, I like how light it is. The chicken is a bit dry, but the salad was super refreshing and had a healthy amount of berries.This place honestly just had one of the best service, they are all so sweet, and I would come back just for them.

I was really looking forward to the Emo Brunch at The Front Yard, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointing experience.The Mac 'n Cheese was, without a doubt, the worst I've ever had. The cheese sauce seemed completely off--grainy and lacking flavor. The Chicken and Waffles were just okay, nothing memorable. The chicken was too dry for my liking, which really took away from the dish.My girlfriend tried the Brisket Benedict and was equally disappointed. She found the brisket tough and overcooked, which made it hard to enjoy.On the positive side, the cocktails were great, and the ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic. It's a cool spot with a fun vibe, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the hype for us.

Tried the brunch there a few months ago which is available on Fri-Sub 10am to 3pm. Its inside Ellis Island Hotel. Parked by the front and walked going in. I like the open space. You can watch the game and have a good selection of cocktails and food. Their waffles kinda dry but we enjoyed the brisket benedict and wings. They also have the mega cocktails.Check out the weekly events like Mega Mondays BOGO mega cocktails, Tequila and Trivia on Tuesdays and half off all wine on Wednesdays

This place is 100% a great spotI wanted to lead with that because I think our experience was circumstantial to a themed day.We were in town for an emo festival and this place just happens to throw an emo brunch which is super cool by design. They had a photobooth, signage, a dj with throw back music videos rolling, honestly such a cool vibe!The cocktails I was totally happy with! They had great flavor and just enough strength to feel okay about the price in Vegas, no qualms here!My issue was with the food itself, they had this really sweet idea to make it "emo" and make the foods black "syrups, waffles, etc" unfortunately, the food coloring just dissected the flavor from the food and made it meh to endure. I had steak and eggs and I cannot complain about that, but my wife's chicken and waffles was just not the play. My suggestion to them would be to just go with other options to dress the food up other than just flooding the mixtures with black food coloring But they really did go all out for it which is why I only dropped a star, even the menu was fully named out to follow suit!A++++ for being creative guys, next year I would just ask the kitchen their thoughts on how to deliver the food. Would 100% return!!!

The Front Yard is part of the Ellis Island Casino.According to the bartender the place got revamped and updated approximately 3 years ago. I'm ecstatic! The ventilation system got a major upgrade and I believe I heard the bartender say no smoking here to another patron...Brilliant! This place used to sooo rundown...I got sick here due to smoke inhalation from extremely bad conditions. I remember opening the front door and a cloud of SMOKE...yeah a CLOUD of CIGARETTE SMOKE coming out... I still went in against my judgment, since my friends said the food was good. I paid the price for my bad judgment. Looks like things have turned around a fair bit. Although you can still smell a decent amount of smoke in the Casino Area. I sat at the bar and just had a flight of beer. I didn't try the food this time, will give that a shot the next time. FYI: The beer is no longer brewed on site, it's brewed in Utah by Silver Reef Brewing Co. and brought over. There was some sort of bingo or trivia night going on. Very chill place.

This is a nice spot if you want to watch a game. I'm sure it will get crowded though. I got the front yard burger. If you're not starving, I think you can totally share this burger (if you eat by recommended portions). The fries are nicely thick and salty. The burger was juicy and tasty. I got my burger medium. It was so good. I could probably eat it all but then I would really be stuffing myself. I already ate more than I should have. Our server Sonia was great. She checked on us after a good amount of time after we got our food. She came by several times to refill our water as it was hot. By the way, this place is outdoors, so don't expect it to be air conditioned, but they do have swamp coolers to keep the area cool.

This is one of my favorite places in Las Vegas... I'm a local and the prices here are quite affordable the food is great and the weight staff is always friendly. Make sure you bring a sweatshirt though cause it gonna be a little chilly when it's cold outside. Great vibe and a hidden gem!

Love coming to the bar at the Front Yard, the bartender Raul is on top of everything and makes sure to constantly check up on you to make sure you have everything and makes you feel like a human not just a regular customer, definitly recommend coming and checking out Raul at the bar!
