I like coming to Ellis Island, but never liked coming to the restaurants, mainly because they are inside the casino, the smoke and noise always creeps in.
I came to the Front Yard shortly after it opened and boy, I love it! While it's connected to the casino, it has a door that closes, plus the roof can be opened (and usually is) to the sky!
There is a bar with requisite video poker games, and then a wide open dining area with tables and more TVs than you can imagine.
I have sat at both the bar and the tables, I like both, depending on what you want and what you are doing.
They have an open kitchen, you can watch them cook and get your order. The beer is great, all coming from the Ellis Island Brewery.
I have had many things on the menu, all good. Beer Beer-bined chicken Wings are my favorite, but the Cheeseburger is really tasty as well. Pulled Pork is good, but it should be as they specialize in Barbecue. The CBR Flatbread was okay, just not my favorite flavor combinations.
This is also a great place to watch sports, there are TVs EVERYWHERE!
I stay next door at the Platinum, so this place is really convenient, but I also like the fact that it is NOT on the strip!
All in all, a great place to hang, and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place for just a hang, food and to watch sports.
