    Came here for brunch. Was seated right away on the patio. It was a bit chilly but they had heaters and blankets which was much appreciated. Service was quick and our waiter was nice and knowledgeable. Very friendly. I go a coffee and my "friend" got a mimosa. We got the buttermilk biscuits to share and I got the breakfast sandwich. Everything was so delicious. I accidentally dropped my fork on the patio floor and it fell through a crack in the wood and I was too embarrassed to say anything. Everything was amazing and I would love to come back and try some new things like the delicious looking baked goods.

    sunday brunch is VERY busy. we sat upstairs and it's extremely noisy. BECAUSE it's so busy, pack your patience because service is extremely slow. We got an order of cinnamon roll and we were sharing but never got little plates with it and it was super messy to eat. we never could get our waiters attention to ask .It was very tasty however. We had brunch cocktails. the bloody mary's were good and so was the white wine sangria. I had the special sandwich which was meatloaf wrapped in bacon with an egg which was tasty. the biscuits and gravy was huge and tasty. The BLATE SANDWICH on grilled sourdough was also good. I enjoy russell's better at dinner. Brunch (or at least today's ) is too noisy and crazy. Our waiter was pleasant and brought me a piece of chocolate torte to take home as we were celebrating my birthday.

    Food was excellent!! Bartender was out of town so drinks took an exceptionally long time. Staff were nice. Our waiter did not verbalize the specials but we had a big group. Everyone enjoyed their food! Would recommend going. Decent price for the value. We did not brunch but heard brunch is exceptional.

    First, let me tell you how great the food was! The food was great! Lol. But let's be for real now. From Maggie to Alyssa to the Manager Clint, everything was beautiful. Everything was great. Customer service skills are over the top. I hope and Pray they see this message because they definitely deserve the accolades.

    I am back to update my review and give russell's the 5 stars it rightfully deserves. The brunch service is superb, but, my lord, I think their dinner service takes the cake. Regardless of when you go a few things remain true: the place feels like home, and the service is spectacular. It's cliche to say the secret ingredient is love, but, let me tell you, you can taste the love, care, and craftsmanship in every dish. Just superb attention to detail. The vibes are spectacular. Families, lovers, friends, and everything in between filling the air with stories, memories, and laughter. Hardwood tables and hardwood floors are authentically rustic from the tens of thousands of souls that have come to make memories here. Oh, and the white lasagna special may just be added to my death bed meal. A spectacular pesto accompanied fresh mushrooms in a beautiful lasagna. Creamy, savory, and edges that were crisped to perfection. It took every ounce of will power to save enough to warrant a box so I have lunch for work tomorrow. Russell's I am sorry I ever shorted you a star. In fact, 5 stars is not enough for this beautiful neighborhood gem.

    Potato Croquettes
    Katie C.

    Typically known for brunch and made from scratch baked goods, Russell's on Macklind also offers dinner service and wow is it GOOD. This quaint and cozy spot serves up seriously delicious, seasonally inspired dishes that really impress. We started with the focaccia topped with ricotta, balsamic, and roasted grapes. The focaccia is house made, fresh, buttery, and perfectly grilled, then we layered with creamy ricotta and roasted grapes balsamic reduction. Honestly, perfection. Next up were the fried potato croquettes. Crispy panko on the outside with fluffy potato on the inside, served with a ranch style dipping sauce. For entrées, we had the sourdough and fennel stuffed pork tenderloin wrapped in crispy bacon over Parmesan grits, the grilled dry aged filet topped with crispy shallots and red wine reduction served over buttermilk mashed potatoes with broccolini, and the ricotta gnudi. Pillowy cheese filled pasta paired with roasted seasonal vegetables and mushrooms in a creamy white sauce. Every dish was thoughtfully executed and the flavors worked so well together. For dessert, we shared two of their house baked and very large cupcakes. Fluffy, generously filled, and topped with plenty of buttercream, it was such a great way to end the meal. I highly recommend not only coming here for brunch, but also making it a go to dinner spot. It is perfect for gathering with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or just treating yourself to a really great night out with exceptional food.

    Bacon Wrapped Meat Loaf

    FINALLY made it to Russell's for brunch this weekend after hearing good things for years! We made a reservation but our table took a bit longer to be ready, which wasn't a huge deal. we were seated on the patio with heaters, each of the chairs also had a little blanket which I loved since it was so cold today! We of course split the cinnamon roll to start and it is everything I dreamed of and more - you HAVE to get this! I also split the braised beef and cheddar and the Cuban with my friend. Both were great but the Cuban was really special - insanely delicious and a huge portion! The waitress was very nice but our food and drinks ended up taking a long time. She did mention our tables food was coming out the slowest and she was extremely apologetic and comped our beverages to make up for the delay which was so kind, classy and appreciated! Fantastic service, great aesthetic, and amazing food. This is all it's cracked up to be! So good that I forgot to take pics of the sandwiches... definitely make a reservation and check this brunch out!!

    Brunch at Russell's is what dreams are made of. My friend and I came here without a reservation, and we were lucky enough to snag a table without a super long wait time. In the meantime, we weee able to grab a cocktail and admire the bakery items. The presentation on their baked goods is amazing. We sat upstairs at the bar. The bartender was so great, very personable and great to talk to. We ended up so little the biscuits with a side of gravy (highly recommend) and I got the Cuban sandwich. The sandwich is MASSIVE. It will definitely last you 2 meals, and is also served with fries. The bread is crunchy and soft, and the flavors all completed one another well. I loved it. To drink I had the sangria and the float trip. The sangria was my favorite, not too sweet and the fresh fruit really makes it feel elevated. Russell's is always a hit and I will come here anytime.

    I am already a fan of their brunch and desserts. Now I know they can deliver for dinner to. Currently, they have 3 courses for $45 offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays. They did not skimp on these courses. Everyone about this visit was perfect! We enjoyed our food, server, and the whole staff.

    Buttermilk biscuits
    Tri P.

    Came here for brunch based on good reviews, and we were not disappointed. Made a reservation, so the wait was not long. There is a large indoor and outdoor seating area, and we were situated outdoors on a very nice day. We got the burrito, lola, and the buttermilk biscuits, all of which hit the spot. The biscuits were really well-textured and had a good butter flavor to it. All of the jam, honey, and additional butter were excellent additions to the blank canvas of the biscuit. It was not dry, and the balance of salty and sweet was delightful. The lola was also excellent; the bun was perfectly airy and soft. The eggs were cooked to the perfect consistency, and the aioli added a nice little extra oomph to the overall flavor profile. Finally, the breakfast burrito was phenomenal. The cilantro was subtle, and the pork had a delightful saltiness to it. The richness was balanced by the pickled green chiles. Overall, this is an excellent place, and we will return for sure. 5/5 stars.

    Buttermilk Biscuits

    Had a late brunch and it was a hit as usual. Got the delicious biscuits to start which is a must have. Our group ordered a variety of sandwiches and the portion sizes were huge. As we dined in towards the end of the brunch period, we were also sent home with a variety of pastries from behind the counter free of charge which was a very pleasant and delicious surprise!

    I've been meaning to try Russell's for YEARS after buying multiple of their gooey butter cakes from Fresh Thyme. They currently have a deal on some weeknights where you can get a salad, entree, and dessert for a set price! The bacon-wrapped meatloaf blew my mind; this is not your normal meatloaf! It was huge and had so much flavor and came on buttery mashed potatoes. I also tried some of my friend's local Buttonwood chicken on warm potato salad. The warm potato salad is actually perfectly roasted potato chunks, and the chicken was so tender and juicy. And finally, the desserts. I was a little overwhelmed by how many options there were in the dessert window display and wanted to try ALL Of them. I finally settled on the fluffy toasted coconut cake which was like eating a delicious coconut cloud. I also tried my friend's chocolate caramel cake which was SO rich, and the chocolate chip cheesecake, which made me want to go back and try the other 3 types of cheesecakes they had on display.

It was a carrot cake that I'm pretty sure had cheesecake btwn the layers. I only had 1 small bite of that part. Entrees ordered were seafood risotto, sweet chili glazed salmon and the special of the night which was a pork chop over risotto. Per my friend her salmon was delicious. My risotto was overcooked so the clams were rubbery-yuk. The shrimp looked overcooked but they actually tasted fine. The pork chop was good but not great per report. We did get bruschetta as an appetizer- again good but not great as there was too much balsamic glaze such that it was overly sweet. Jonathan was our server and I had the impression he was new to the job. He did fine but it was small things. A definite detractor was the location of our table- we were right next to the kitchen. If I backed my chair up I would have been in their pathway. Anyway they left the door to kitchen open and it was sooooo noisy. Yes I could have asked them to close door but the heat would have probably too much for them then.

Owen was my server during my visit. He took excellent care of me, made good recommendations, and worked to accommodate special requests. The coffee is local from Coma Coffee. The cocktail menu has a robust list of offerings. The brunch menu is a nice balance of savory and sweet. If you've read any of my reviews, I usually always prefer savory over sweet for breakfast. This visit was no exception to that. I went with the loaded hash brown. This was a unique interpretation of a latke. The hash brown practically covered my entire plate, a nice portion of cured salmon, and a lovely basil yogurt and chili crunch for contrast. I made a fantastic choice. Not only was this a nice portion of food, it tasted amazing as well. I did add a side of the chicken sausage. It actually ended up being too much. This was the perfect way to spend a slow Saturday morning. I plan to stop in soon to visit them for dinner.
