    White bread, breaded chicken, plain pasta and clam chowder .
    Heather W.

    The Russell Inn is one of those places that always has large booths and clean tables available. For locals, there is a large bar area. For diners, I have never really enjoyed the food here, however, lacking any family restaurants within several miles, we find that our children enjoy coming here to have dinner. We we have the children who love chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, and pasta with butter, and they are fairly happy here. The fries are not so great, but that is the kind of fries that they have. You know, the kind that get soggy after they sit on your plate because that is what happens to these types of fries (= disappointment). The last time we came here, one waitress sat in a corner on her phone while stacks of messy dirty plates were amongst several tables near us. It was towards the end of the evening, But it seemed pretty crappy for all of that mess to be left there while the person paid to clean it was sitting on her phone. I can't think of any time I've been here or any of the wait staff have been particularly happy to be working. I also haven't been here at any time where the place seemed particularly full. I wonder if there is any correlation? So, great place if you want to go get food for the kids, but I have found many of the specials to be not necessarily appetizing, and there is an extremely small amount of gluten-free food if that is your alternative (pizza or salad-I will save you from looking). While I would love for there to be more food options out here, I understand that there isn't really a population for change or improvement, especially now that Blandford Ski Area is not open for patrons to stop at after a day of skiing. I think if you are the burger or a wrap kind of person with a love of Yuengling beer, and don't really have high expectations, you will be fine. If you are like me and enjoy bit of diversity and, don't eat burgers or crappy Bud-draft beers, you will not necessarily find this to be the place to eat..

    At first glance rolling into the parking lot this place seems like from another time and place. I suppose it is, but that's no reason to avoid! I had the eggplant Parmesan. Wow, what an impression as it first appears on the table. A zillion layers of thin pan fried eggplant on top of pasta and topped with mozzarella. Tomato gravy had a good balance of freshness and sourness. I always liked this style and this didn't disappoint. Not too oily, either. Good home style cooking. Dining companion had pizza which looked better than it tasted. Well done, you guys! We'll visit again if we find ourselves passing through the Pioneer Valley. The Chicken Parmesan beckons me.

    Happened across the Russell Inn today. Cozy, fast amazing service. Crabmeat stuffed mushrooms ( a meal by itself), excellent, Tortellini soup excellent, Sampler plate excellent, oil dipping for bread excellent. Overall grade, excellent. 2 of us shared the meal and appetizers and we are very full. We'll be back!

    The Russell Inn is a true gem in the hill towns! Amazing food for so many years. Best sauce around! Their fried mozzarella is my #1 favorite of any place I've ever tried. Their stuffed mushrooms are delicious, stuffed with a seafood stuffing, loaded with flavor. Pizza is light, airy, soft dough, not greasy at all. Shrimp Francaise was to die for..lemon , butter sauce was perfection, served with huge, tender, sweet shrimp! Service was outstanding as well!

    The pizza is consistently awesome, but I have not been impressed with any of their other menus items.

    The last thing I want to do is admit that a cocktail bar in this area is good. I hate driving to…read moreEasthampton (not your problem), I hate parking in Easthampton (not your problem...maybe), and there're lots of places I'd rather be. HOWEVER...I've been to Gigantic at least three times now and I have to admit that going out of your way is worth it. The drink list is not huge, but it's never boring, changes often enough to keep me interested, and I don't recall getting anything less than excellent. If they're willing to do a "bartender's choice" type thing (I haven't tried), I might have to go even more often. To address some of the things that others mentioned: Yes, it's small, but lots of good places are. Yes, the drinks take awhile, but I don't know of ANY high-end cocktail place that can cranks them out. Get over it and enjoy your time there. I've never experienced rude or pretentious (anymore than that are always is) service, but that would annoy me. The server/bartender has always been quite nice to my friends and me. I also checked out their list of vintage liquors last time I was there. I didn't try any (because money) but the fact that they have them at all is impressive.

    Came here excited to try out the cocktails of one of the 10 best new bartenders in the country -…read morehttps://punchdrink.com/articles/best-new-bartenders-2025/ While we were not from the area, we were cautioned by several friends that Gigantic might not live up to the hype. What we did like was the old school music, vintage feel that took on the vibes of an antique shop (it was fun to look around), and the intimate setting. The cocktails were really good and creative with a menu that updates frequently and featured some classics as well. The cocktails were a bit pricey for what you got and for the area, the snack options were very limited and overpriced, and service was very slow despite few people being in the bar. We had to ask to be served and waited over 15 minutes for the check. We are glad we checked out Gigantic and would not recommend going out of your way for it as there are other great cocktail bars in neighboring towns.
