There are always customers at Russ Restaurant every time we drive through Wagoner. Now I know why. It is a fantastic little diner. The best in town. Excellent food, friendly service served in a cozy clean little building. They open at 11AM, so no breakfast. Serving lunch and dinner with everything you could want in a small diner. Daily specials, burgers and pies. Fried Catfish and fried chicken is their specialty. Today's special was chicken fried chicken. Add mashed potatoes with cream gravy, and fried okra then double the order. That is what my wife and I had. It was excellent. Blackberry pie was available, but we were stuffed. Excellent friendly service! read more

If you are looking for some good fried chicken, this is the place to go in Wagoner! It is always cooked to order, hot fresh and seasoned well. Add a little honey and it is perfection! You can tell it is a family owned restaurant, the waitresses treat you as family, and are always on top of it. They are a small but mighty crew. The cobbler is a must too!! read more

Their food was very good will come back again.so if you want some good tasty food go to Russ they will do you right.

My wife and I came here for lunch. I order a chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, jalapeño hush puppies and a side of tator tots. The food was good, however the hour and 15 minute wait was a little ridiculous. I would only recommend someone try this restaurant if you have no plans because you could be late for them. read more

One of the best restaurants in Wagoner.. we love the roast beef on Thursday they do not do DoorDash. But it's well worth the trip....

Traveling through Oklahoma from Missouri to Texas and was craving seafood. We were thrilled to find Russ Restaurant. From the get go our waitress, Deb, was super friendly and greeted us with warm hospitality. She was quick and very attentive but the food was a disappointment. The catfish was very undercooked, the Cole slaw was bland and brought out way ahead of time before our meal. The shrimp, French fries and beans on the other hand made up for it, so we left the fish and slaw and just ate the rest. Normally, we would've sent the fish back to the kitchen for longer cooking but we were in a hurry to get back on the road. We waited for our check which never came and when the waitress sat down with other patrons, we assumed we had to go to the front to pay before receiving a check???? We should've been told that little detail. We never saw a check and was just told the amount due by the cashier! Oh and the tablecloths were really yucky: invest in new ones! read more

We ordered the catfish and fried chicken dinner. The catfish batter was perfectly flavored. It was flaky and crisp. The chicken was tender. Everything was good. Homemade dressing and cherry tomatoes on the hand-torn salad. read more

This was the WORST food I've ever eaten. It will be a miracle if we didn't get food poisoning.

Best place to eat in Wagoner! The jalapeño hush puppies are great! The cream gravy is delicious and tastes homemade, the chicken strips are hand breaded and a crispy golden brown! We will be back, our family of 4 was very impressed! Oh and their rolls are soft yeast rolls yum read more
