2 of 2 reviews. Note to self - Come for the beer, skip the food. Quality/Quantity - Ellis Island Brewery has been on my list to visit for years... Out of all the restaurants here, this one is my favorite. And I finally got to visit 1.5 years ago and fulfilled my promise of bringing my buddy here today. Today we got the following during Happy hour: My usual Amber. My buddy's usual IPA. And too many glasses of Double IPA... Onion Rings - Good, but not much quantity. Fried Pickles - Good, and with generous quantities. I did not finish. Lots of breading for both dishes. Brunch is also available. See their website. Atmosphere - Love the huge indoor/outdoor space, see pictures. But both my buddy and I said AC would be nice. My last visit in January '25 was NOT this hot. Plenty of bar, table seating. TVs for entertainment and of course, for sports. Gaming available, but not today. Well I am sure they have gaming if you sat at the bar which we did but still did not play. I 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 their website. Two stories. 350 capacity. Lots of regulars here, where everyone seems to know everyone. I like this atmosphere, and might make this a regular LV visit for my HH. But again, I really should skip the food... Service - Jo and the new guy were both 5 stars; friendly and efficient. Price - $37 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019. As mentioned from the previous review, I brought my buddy. read more

The ambiance is cool! i like that theres a live DJ and the bar area is nice. The food though.... Im sure it tastes good if you're a few drinks in. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was the worst sandwich ever. I didn't even eat it. The bottom bread was soggy, a little tsp of bbq, and the taste of the pork was odd, soggy and wet. The pizza was good but it was missing the spicy. My friends and i agreed that we would not come again. read more

Today's service: 2/3 stars / 5 3rd time I've been: 4 stars / 5 2nd time: 4 stars /5 1st time I came in: 5 stars / 5 Hey yall! I came here due to Facebook promotion. I tried the pork belly bites & the churro dessert, then I came back to try the buy one get one free burger, and now I'm back to get the yard burger. Let me tell you how things have went. The first 3x was good. So so. On the 3rd time. Wasn't too happy with the burgers or fries. The fries suck. I wasn't able to choose if I wanted protein style burgers which sucked, normally I ask in advance for protein style. They didn't hold space but Veronica was nice. I did call in the next day and spoke to Randy the manager, who offered me a "free entree" but wasn't specific about what entree so when I arrived I asked for the entree: steak, and truffle fries, and I just got embarrassed cus Randy came out and said no, I meant you can re order the burger or something similar and I said you didn't say that, don't embarrass me in front of people, he said yeah yeah played it off and the server at the bar was kinda pushy! Vibes are off! He did shake my hand and stared in my face which I think is a lil much. It's whatever, I just want my food. I did ask them to sub the reg fries for the truffle fries cus those regular fries are nasty. Worst than fast food joints. Anyways... I do like the establishment but the service is so so. It's fair, it's a hit or miss. I do still have this free cocktail thing I can get here but haven't gotten it yet. AFTER I ate my $20 free burger on the house: there was ONE waiter who was NICE, and that made things soooooo much better! Didn't get his name but he served me my water and lemons and gave me my to go box and let me say this: TRUFFLE FRIES taste so much better!!!!!! This burger is 10/10 can't complain! Way better than the $15 burger plate they gave me!! Wow!!! Still 3/5 experience! The vibes were a lil off. read more

I had been looking forward to visiting this spot for karaoke night, and overall my friends and I had a genuinely great time -- but there were a few things that kept it from being a perfect experience. Let me start with the positives, because there were plenty. The moment I walked in and saw the open outdoor space, I was immediately charmed. There's something really special about an open-air venue in Las Vegas -- it has a relaxed, laid-back energy that you don't always find on or near the Strip. The atmosphere was fun and lively, and it was clear that people were there to have a good time. The karaoke DJ was absolutely the highlight of the night. He was talented, enthusiastic, and incredibly warm and welcoming -- the kind of host who makes everyone feel like a star whether they can sing or not. I also loved the karaoke app, which notifies you when your turn is coming up. That's such a thoughtful touch and takes so much anxiety out of the experience. Karaoke kicked off at 10pm and the energy in the room was infectious once it got going. The drinks were good -- well-made and enjoyable -- though on the pricier side for what you'd expect at a casual karaoke vegas bar. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing going in. Now for the constructive feedback, shared in the spirit of hoping this venue reaches its full potential: The table reservation situation was genuinely confusing and a bit stressful. I had made what I believed to be a table reservation ahead of time, but when we arrived, the host at the door informed us that table reservations aren't actually accepted. I showed her my reservation confirmation, and unfortunately she was dismissive about it rather than empathetic or helpful. For a group arriving excited for the night, that interaction set a frustrating tone. A little kindness and acknowledgment -- even just "I'm so sorry for the confusion, let me help you find a spot" -- would have gone a long way. Because we couldn't be seated at the tables until 10pm, we were left waiting at the bar, which was extremely crowded with other guests in the same situation. Getting a drink was a real challenge with so many people packed in waiting for seating to open up. It felt like a bit of a bottleneck that could easily be improved with clearer communication upfront about the table policy -- or better yet, actually offering reservations. We also weren't able to order food at the Front Yard, which was a surprise. We ended up heading over to the Village Pub to eat, which worked out fine, but it would be so much more convenient to be able to grab a bite without leaving the venue. Despite all of that, my friends and I left smiling. The DJ truly carried the night, and the outdoor space is something Ellis Island should be proud of. With a few operational tweaks -- clearer reservation policies, a friendlier front-of-house experience, and maybe some food options -- the Front Yard could easily be one of the best karaoke spots in Las Vegas. We'd come back and give it another shot! :) read more

The Front Yard - Beer Gardens Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

It was my first time trying this place. Off the strip a couple blocks. Friends sweee by their inexpensive food. We went for breakfast. I had the eggs,bacon, and toast breakfast that. And with a mound of hasbrown potato's. Only $12.99 ans wat too much food! Fast and friendly service and the place was nice and clean. We explored the sport bar area which had an open air area which was nice. I'd go back on my next visit. read more

We went to The Front Yard to use the Facebook Messenger BOGO Burger/Sandwich offer (there are other offers like Free Pork Belly Bites or Free Mega Cocktail). You have to sit at the bar to use this dine-in offer. We ordered: - Front Yard Burger (bacon, provolone, chipotle aioli) with onion rings (+$2 for onion rings) - Front Yard Smoke Sandwich with pulled pork with garlic fries Surprisingly, the food was delicious! The Burger was flavorful with the thick-cut bacon and provolone, and the pulled pork sandwich was wonderfully smoky with a beautiful balanced coleslaw and pickled onion. The garlic fries were subtly garlicky and freshly fried in butter. Really happy to have come for the BOGO, and will eat here if we are ever in Ellis Island to gamble! read more

We came here to watch football games on Sunday on the big screen. We made a reservation for 6 and were seated on time and without problem. The server stopped by often, was friendly and made great recommendations of what to order. As a party, we had the Belgium blueberry waffles (the best!), the meat charcuterie board (fresh and delish), and banh mi sandwich (tasty). Adult beverages were really good, as was the blueberry lemonade. Because it is Vegas, we loved the fact that there was a blackjack table around the corner, where you could gamble during the game. Clean restaurant, clean restrooms - great place to watch the game! read more

Stopped by The Front Yard inside Ellis Island while in Vegas. The cool part is they serve breakfast all day. The pork belly bites and pork belly baos were easily the best things we ordered. Everything else was just okay, including the rigatoni with chicken, chicken & waffles, PB&J burger with truffle fries, and brisket sandwich with onion rings. The biggest downside was the wait time. The food took a while to come out even though there weren't many people there. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable enough for me to come back. read more

We had a good experience. Our server was friendly and the food was hot and delicious. The service was a little slow but it was a holiday and it was busy. He appeared to be the only one waiting on tables too. I would definitely recommend it. read more

Just went for emo, brunch. The food was really good and while our server was nice, we felt abandoned for a good 20 minutes. We were just sitting there, finished eating waiting for her to ask if we need boxes and she walked by and looked at us twice and never said anything. When I finally got her attention, she was bringing a refill from my daughter's drink, which she brought to us after her drink was empty for a long time and she never offered a refill until we're literally asking for boxes. As far as food goes, we had the mac and cheese chicken and waffles and aburger with truffle fries. Everything was super tasty.The mac and cheese was super creamy and the bacon made it even better. The chicken from my chicken and waffle was amazing! Whatever breading they use is perfect and my daughter really enjoyed her burger. We did ask for the truffle fries with the burger and it came out with regular fries, so they had to take it back and fix that. This would have been a 5 star review since everything started off great, but attention from the server was lacking at the end. Just something to keep note of read more

This sports restaurant is located inside/outside (covered) the Elias Island Casino. We started off at the bar with some Happy Hour appetizers and drinks. The bartenders were very nice and helpful. The video poker machines were good to us while we waited but needed some wiping down. We order the pretzel and it was hot and definitely a must have with the cheese. We then moved onto the table seating to have dinner. We enjoyed watching our Thursday football game and splitting some food. The chicken wings were very good and we enjoyed the flatbread pepperoni pizza. But the show stopper was the warm cookie and ice cream. Give the night a try at this place. They also built a nice bar with a view on the roof but we were so full we just checked out but didn't stay. Next time for sure. read more

The one star for this place was our server, Sil. He was on top of things and very nice. Everything else: 1. We've been to the Front Yard before, and have had a rather poor experience, both with service and food quality. We decided to give the place a 2nd (3rd?) chance. 2. The main attraction for this brunch was the "build your own" Mother's Day bouqet bar that was advertised on the website. I will give them this: it did say "while supplies last", but we arrived less than two hours (between 12:45 and 12:50 for an 11am-3pm timeframe) after the brunch started and the flowers were already gone. 3. When my sausage platter came out it was cold. Our server took it back and kitchen just re-fired it, making it hot, but way overcooked. 4. My daughter's chicken breast was also WAY overcooked (pic below). 5. My wife's burger was like shoe leather. Mimosas were plentiful and regularly refilled. Due solely to Sil being on top of things. I spoke with the manager (Randy?) about our experience. Kindly, he sent over two desserts, but nothing was taken off the bill, making this EXTREMEMLY sub-par food experience well over $200. We will not be back. read more

The Front Yard - Deeply, DEEPLY fried chicken. - Beer Gardens Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've been here many times as a vegas local and last night was was disappointing. Jenna, our server was great, very attentive and helpful but the food was delayed quite a bit. The kitchen was behind and it took about 45 min to order 3 meals and one appetizer. Jenna felt bad so she gave us a free dessert but it was mediocre food as well. Not horrible, not great. App came out after our meals too. read more

The Front Yard is one of my favorite local spots! The food is amazing, and the ambience is cozy and welcoming--perfect for watching sports or just hanging out. The staff is super friendly and always make you feel at home. My go-to is the Cajun Chicken Sandwich with their chipotle aioli sauce--so good! I also love the pork belly bites, fried pickles, and zucchini fries. They have lots of other food options too. Their beers are amazing--I used to fill up a growler and take it home. And their holiday eggnog is one of the best I've had. This place is a local favorite--great food, drinks, and vibes. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I have been here a few times now, both for brunch and dinner and have always enjoyed the ambience, and my meal. At first, I was like Ellis Island? But the front yard is truly a hidden gem in there. It was a lot of fun for brunch with the bottomless mimosas and music and a great place to catch a game or hang out with friends. read more

Overhyped The atmosphere is great tho! So come for that. We came for Sunday Yacht party brunch. DJ was great! Bartenders are great! Servers great! Food for the price .... Woof. BTW no great brunch specials ..... I got Avocado toast ... it was ok. $18 no egg no sides. I added bacon. Bacon is listed as thick cut. It appeared regular to me. My dude got steak and eggs. He was grossing me out by constantly spitting out gristle He said the steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned great. Just too much gristle read more

The Front Yard - Chopped BLT with fries - Beer Gardens Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The Front Yard is located inside Ellis Island Casino. I haven't been here for a while and they have made a lot of renovations since I've last been here. We came here on a weekday in the middle of the day so there were only a few other patrons eating lunch. But I can see this place getting busy on football Sunday or any other sporting event. They carry local beers, which we like, we like to support local. We ordered a Caesar salad to split, I ordered the chicken nachos and he ordered a cheeseburger with fries. The Caesar salad was good and the croutons were homemade and tasty! The chicken nachos were OK, they were good but they were definitely Americanized and not authentic. He did say he enjoyed his cheeseburger. I would come back here on a game day to check out the ambience! read more

Had a fun time hanging out here to watch the FIFA Club World Cup game. Decently priced and fresh food and drinks with good service! There's a traditional bar top area to sit at as well as a restaurant style seating area with tables. There are also plenty of TV screens around playing various types of sports. There are several beer, cocktail, mocktail, wine, and food options. The draft beers are all brewed locally by Ellis Island! At the time of my visit in July 2025 it was only $6.50/pint! The seating area is partially open to the outside from the roof, so the weather outside definitely affects the inside. It was 100+ degrees outside, but the inside wasn't too bad. It's still climate controlled and was fairly comfortable, especially with all the fans going. You can tell there was still AC but it was warmer than the inside casino area. Service was great. We ordered several rounds of food and drinks throughout the game and our server came around to see if we needed anything a few times, and she was easy to flag down at other times too. The orders came out pretty quickly. My favorite was the double IPA. Not too bitter and had a good flavor. The onion rings were hot and crispy. My friend got the Cajun chicken sandwich (forgot to snap a picture) but it was quite large and fresh looking and came with good sized Caesar salad. This place is definitely a hidden gem! read more

Terrible service and terrible food. Soggy fries and processed food. Only good thing was they comp the worst meal.

What can I say about this place!? I have gone to Ellis Island for many years and saw them build on this amazing front bar area. I never went there because I knew it was a little more expensive than the cheap prices inside. I have to say, I have never seen a happier server in all my life that is so proud of what they do and really excited about people loving this place! Look at our bartenders face. True love! We were treated with kindness, consideration, and had the best time! You can also order all kinds of great food out there and it is amazing for large groups! If you're having a hard time finding areas for your large group to go? Consider this place. Most places get sold out of your head. This place is wonderful! I am a faithful follower of Ellis Island, and now I am a faithful follower of the front yard! read more

Been going to Ellis Island for years but never made it here. Decided to catch a game here and take advantage of the unlimited food deal and glad I did. The ambiance was nice, chairs spaced apart and two levels w a bar on each level. Plenty of tvs and servers and the best part is beig able to hear your game. The buffet was delivered to you so you didn't have to deal with missing your game. The food was great and my server Veronica was friendly, personable and so attentive to all her tables. I will definitely be back. read more

Our Server Sonia was great, will return she was excellent- if you go here make sure you sit in her section

My negative experience with management here made me come out of review hibernation. The dismissive and unsympathetic attitude we received from the manager given to us locals who dropped 3 bills in this place was unacceptable. The rules for AYCE and AYCD were unclear on the menu and the servers were also unsure. When asked for clarification from management we were met with, "that's not my problem," "it doesn't say it, but I'm telling you the rules now," and "you expected to eat for three hours?" A little professionalism and even fake empathy in this situation would have gone a long way instead of pointing the finger at the paying customer. Now, "it's not my problem" when I take this place off my list for options for Monday Night Football and tell all my other local buddies to go to one of another dozen places where the manager doesn't have to put the food down from stuffing his face to change one of the channels to the Knights game that is well into the 2nd period. If you want a better local experience for football, check out the new Sunset Station Sportsbook, Atomic Golf, any of the PKWY Taverns, and Able Baker Brewing. The food wasn't awful but you have to eat and drink a lot to get your money's worth in the allotted time. read more

Every time I come there's something different that they just so happen don't have available on that day which just so happens to always be the one thing I want that day. Today it was happy hour that was cancelled so I went to order their sangria also not available last time it was the charcuterie board and half their cocktail menu. I had one good brunch experience a few years back that I cling to when I decide I should give them another try but being disappointed every time since is a let down at this point. read more

Came in at 4pm. An hour before the World Cup game. But apparently they were fully booked at 5 for the game and wouldn't seat us in an empty restaurant. Hostess said we could wait u til 5pm then get sat upstairs first come first serve. But we would have to wait an hour. Seemed ridiculous as we had 7 people wanting to eat. Management needs to have better terms because they just lost out on a huge tab and now we won't be back. Service is more important than anything. read more

Awesome! This is a brilliant hidden gem off the strip at the Ellis Island casino. Apparently this casino's been around since 1968 and they've done some refurbishment. The front yard is a great indoor spot, but the roof is retractable for nice days. They had a cool Oscar's watch party on Sunday which was very fun and some good food. There is also a rooftop deck which is amazing. Give it a try for something different in Vegas! read more

Bright airy space with big screen TVs is the major plus especially when the casino was undergoing renovations indoors. Service was a little stretched and while adequate, wasn't personable per se. They had the late night menu here from Village Cafe during renovations but otherwise the menu consists of sharable bar bites, sandwiches, and a few entrees along with the various brews from the casino. Food's fine but probably better just for a few pints and light nosh here. read more

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. read more

Love the front yard, it gives you a spacious front yard vibe, with natural sunlight and plenty of seating and a TV's throughout the space. There is also a long bar against the back wall that can sit quite a few. The service was good, it seems like they have enough waiters to cover such a large floor. I got the yard house burger and it was cooked perfect. I asked for a medium burger and it delicious. The drinks and everything came up quickly so we're weren't over waiting even with some of the larger parties. A must check out! read more
