    Burger and fries.
    Gifty V.

    I stopped into Russell's on a Friday night around 6:30 PM. It was my first visit, and I was excited to check out the vibe. The atmosphere is much different from the previous restaurant at this location, and I really appreciated the change! We didn't have reservations, and it was a busy night, so we grabbed three seats at the bar. The bartenders were fantastic--attentive and friendly. I ordered a burger and fries, and it was simple yet delicious in the best way. The fries were perfectly seasoned with something more unique than just salt, so much so that ketchup wasn't even necessary--they were amazing. Honestly, I could've gone for a second order. The burger was melt-in-your-mouth good and perfectly portioned--it left me feeling satisfied without being overly full or wanting more food. I'm already looking forward to returning to try the omelette on the menu and explore some of the cocktails. Oh, and here's a bonus: if you ask for a hot towel, they'll bring you a steaming, wonderfully refreshing towelette to clean your hands--an especially thoughtful touch on a cold January day. P.s. One of the people I was with ordered the salmon and when asked their feedback, they said "decent; I would order it again; A little bit expensive for the quality"

    Got seated quickly. Staff were friendly. Food took a while. It was very busy for a week night. The space was completely transformed since the previous restaurant. It was a great update and makes good use of the interior. The smash burger was really good. Comparable to Saint Dinnette's Burger. I loved the shoestring fries. I got the walleye nachos. It was good. I have never had anything like it before. The walleye was breaded and fried. You could find nuggets of it on top of the nachos. My favorite thing about this dish was the guacamole mousse.

    Hubs has been mentioning this place since they opened. It's in the space where Tavern on Grand had been previously. The inside looks so different from the Tavern days! Drink menu was good, 8 or so cocktails to choose from and a good wine and beer list. Got a Bourbon Basil Sidecar and hubs had a Rosemary Paloma. Drinks were very good, albeit, a bit on the spendier side. Was dying to try the cacio e pepe fries. They were good, although, not sure I'd get them again, mostly because the cheese didn't melt on them very well and they were a little messy. Got the Swedish Meatballs and a side of green beans for my dinner. The meatballs were definitely sizeable for one. If you're looking for traditional Swedish Meatballs, these aren't it, but they are still delicious. Made with chicken sausage and mushroom gravy. Hubs had the spring chicken (just love that name) and I had a small bite and it was tasty. Whatever was in the puree gave it a subtle sweetness. Would definitely recommend getting a reservation, as it was pretty busy.

    WOW....they really did a beautiful job on the upgrades to the precious Tavern on Grand space! We loved Tavern on Grand and were sad when it closed but were excited to try Russell's. Entering it's a really wonderful space....warm and classy and perfect for a nice romantic dinner out or to celebrate a special occasion. We started with some cocktails which was delicious and well made. We had an order of the Cacio e' Pepe French fries (crispy and delicious) and the Spinach & Artichoke dip (needed some salt or seasonings). For dinner I had the Classic Steak which was magical (generous size and perfectly seasoned and prepared), the Burger (delicious), and the Roasted Chicken (moist, beautiful sauce and preparation). Everything was very tasty! The service was impeccable! Friendly, knowledgeable and experienced with timing and check backs. She was wonderful and I wish I could remember her name but it really enhanced the experience. We had a great time and highly recommend Russell's when you want a beautiful night out!

    I went to Russell's on a Friday evening with 3 of my friends. We arrived around 7:30pm and sat at the bar for a couple minutes before being seated at a cozy booth. The ambiance of the restaurant was really cozy and welcoming. Our server was helpful in explaining the menu and was attentive. We started with the walleye nachos and some drinks. All the drinks were super tasty and I loved the nachos. We all split the cornbread which was dense and sweet. My friends ordered the caesar salad, ribs, and the burger. Everyone loved their meals and the price was typical.

    We enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant! We thought the drinks were fantastic. The Caico de Pepe fries were amazing. The burger was fantastic! The service was delightful. However, we felt it was very overpriced and ribs weren't the best.

    Nice atmosphere, warm and inviting, but the service was below average and the food is expensive and not worth the price.

    Good food. Service was questionable. Our burgers took 30 minutes. Back of house didn't seem to be on a-game.

When we walked in, the hostesses greeted us right away and asked if we preferred the bar or dining side and we chose the dining area. Not long after, our server Jordyn stopped by to take care of us. We ordered everything at once, starting with the Szechuan green beans and pizza fries, along with three different kinds of wings: garlic parmesan, lemon pepper, and smoky ranch. It took a little while for the food to come out, but once it did, it was well worth the wait. The wings were loaded with flavor, and I really liked that they served whole wings instead of just flats or drummies. The booths were comfortable and roomy, and the big screen TVs made it easy to keep up with the college football games. Between the great service, flavorful food, and relaxed atmosphere, we were more than happy with our visit. Parking was also easy, and since the place is tucked away a bit, it feels like a hidden gem. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

This is located in a neighborhood with a small parking lot or free parking in the neighborhood. There is a small patio and a few tables and chairs on the inside. I would plan on taking your food to go. The vibes are classic and there are a bunch of fun pictures from Minnesota history! My boys enjoyed looking at those! The service here was extremely friendly and laid back. Kind of like having family cook your meal! That's a hard vibe to find these days! The food: We got the rib and chicken dinner. The chicken was fried golden(this is pressure cooked in oil) made for a nice flavor. I wouldn't say it knocked my socks off but definitely solid pieces of chicken. I am here to rave about the ribs!! Oh my gosh!!! The bones just fell out! The meat was so tender and the BBQ had the perfect about of sweetness!! I will for sure be back for the ribs!!! The mashed potatoes were ok. Next time I would get the fries. We also had the chicken wings plain. Again, nothing over the top special. Did I mention how good those ribs were!? Haha we ended with some mini donuts which were your standard mini donut but were delicious! This place is definitely worth a try!!

Store is a bit small inside but there are outside seatings as well!
