Great BBQ with lots of choices. Hubs got the wings with the Memphis sauce and I had the Memphis chicken sandwich with Cole slaw. We sampled other sauces and decided to hit some sample sizes after dinner to take home for us and as stocking stuffers for family. Oh yeah the baked beans are amazing too! Staff super friendly, explaining how they won the Memphis May competition. Highly recommend. read more

Great BBQ is hard to come by in this state let alone in this area. Friendly folks, great portions, a ton of variety in sauces and food options. Get some ribs. read more

The brisket was really tough and the fries weren't done. The Cole slaw was good. Would not recommend.

This is a place that you would consider the middle of nowhere but the food is unexpectedly good. Now the bbq I am a snob that goes to Terry Blacks and other elite bbq joints. But for where we were at this is good not great. But I came on here to talk about how elite the wings are. They are smoked then crispy with elite choices of sauce. Wings are an absolute must order. read more

Russell's BBQ - Dining @ Russell's - Barbeque Near Me - Linesville, Pennsylvania

The smoke makes everything great. Portions are good too. The personalization comes with the assortment and mixing of sauces to your own taste. read more

Had there barnyard fries. Wasn't really impressed. The brisket really didn't have any smoke flavor. A little disappointed.

Take my money Russell! Probably the best BBQ in NWPA! Picked up some catering. Employees were friendly and easy to work with. Original sauces were awesome. Good smoked meats and tasty sides. All compliments from our party! read more

I did not expect BBQ this good HERE. It's not in-Texas good, or in-StL good, or in-Carolina good, but it's in-Linesville amazing! Got the Doomsday - the 12-person meal, the first one they've *ever* served for eat-in. It satisfied, plus a good amount extra. I somewhat of a meat-smoker myself, and not too shabby if I do say so. So, my measure is always just in comparison to my own... Ribs: better than mine, pretty perfect. Pulled pork: As good as mine, but different. Very good. Brisket: A little dry. Then again mine tends to be dry too. So... about as good as mine, but that's not necessarily great. Chicken: Very tasty, very dry. Turkey: I've never done it, me likey. Sides were generous and very tasty as well. We sampled all the sauces, and they were good but I'd prefer a little more HEAT. So, all-in-all I'd TOTALLY recommend this if you're in the Pymatuning area! It's worth maybe even a 30-40 minute drive. We don't get to this area often, but if we do we will definitely be back! read more

Russell's BBQ - a tray of food on a table - Barbeque Near Me - Linesville, Pennsylvania

My son and I were on a delivery to a school in the area and decided to stop in. The gentleman at the counter was super helpful since it was our first visit. He explain the menu, best approach to the menu, and also which sauces were available. My son got the special which was a pulled pork Ruben which was pretty much a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on rye bread with thousand Island dressing. His side of choice was tater tot's. I had trouble deciding on sides with my ribs. So, the gentleman behind the counter suggested the side dish sampler. Could not have been happier! The ribs were delicious, tender, and fall of the bone. The Berry Garcia sauce is the best! The side dish sampler came with coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, and macaroni and cheese. Entirely too much food but each was delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was pretty on brand for a bbq place. Casual, clean, and help yourself drinks, flatware, and sauces! read more

Totally off the beaten path, but an absolute MUST have!! Not only were the meats fantastic (nothing dry!), but the sides were excellent! We did take out, as we were driving thru, but the inside looked clean and nice. Service was fast and friendly! read more

Very clean, great service and the most amazing pulled pork dinner! You can choose your sauce. I recommend the Sasquach sauce. Scrumptious! Will definitely be back! read more

Best bbq I've had, sides are average but the meat and sauces are kicking ....... Very plain sides..... just get the meat

Russell's BBQ - Pulled Pork, Bacon, Hamburg with egg, cheese, onions, jalapeños & jalapeño honey bbq sauce. - Barbeque Near Me - Linesville, Pennsylvania

Ordered a family pack meal. Tons of food for $35. Great portions of sides. The pulled pork and pulled chicken were tasty. The fries are hand cut. The onion rings were really, really good. Baked beans were good. The sauces are good approximations of regional sauces from various US regions. Their main sauce is a solid basic BBQ sauce. All in all, we will eat here again. Friendly employees. Clean dining room. Quality food. read more

There was s no better BBQ in the area. That's Dam good BBQ! I actually drive out of my way to pick it up on my way to work because all of my coworkers and myself can't get enough of Russell's BBQ read more

Great food and friendly staff. Many different types of barbecue, sauces, and sides. It's definitely worth the trip!

The Russell meals kits are perfect! We had a wonderful dinner and the portions were great! Highly recommend stopping thru or ordering online! read more

One of the best local BBQs anywhere- and the sauces are wonderful and can be used in so many different ways. Come for the Spillway, but don't miss Russell's. If they weren't Browns fans they'd be perfect!:). read more

Planned on going here for sometime. Have driven by the place several times. Was a little surprised at the way they did the menu. Did not offer baskets or meals. Had to purchase everything individual. For two people I think 35 dollars was high. Wings half rack ribs and a side each. I do not want to take away from the quality. Everything was excellent as far as flavor and portion. Go back not very likely due to price. read more

Honestly some of the best homemade BBQ sauces I've ever had. The Apple Q and the Honey Jalapeño are my favorites! The ribs are amazing and fall right off the bone and the fried corn is to die for read more

Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious! Russell 's catered my son's wedding and really went above and beyond with customer service. Everything was still hot and fresh, even after being in chafing dishes. Prices are very reasonable as well. Highly recommend! read more

This restaurant used to be called the Creekside, but Russell's is immensely better than the Creekside. My wife and I ate once at the Creekside several years ago and never went back. On the way home from church a few weeks ago we decided to try Russell's and were very pleased. Our sandwiches were excellent. A word of warning: don't order the Barnyard Fries unless you are really hungry! We plan on going back for some of the great barbecue we've been hearing about! read more

Russell's bbq did not disappoint. Decent portions and fair prices. Small business with big smoke taste. Wife got Carolina chicken I got the meat combo mom in law got a burger. We all walked away satisfied read more

Soggy fries, dirty looks from people behind the counter, country music at 130 decibels, and souvenir t-shirts with the name of the restaurant on them. Tacky. read more

Amazing food and people!! Our absolute go to when at our Pymatuning camp! The smoked meats are amazing and their baked goods are delicious!! read more

We have been loyal Countryside patrons for the past 10 plus years. Figured we would give this place a try and wow did it not disappoint. Had the northwestern omelet with pulled pork. Overall food was better along with quantity, cleanliness and atmosphere. 10/10 recommend and looks like we have a new breakfast joint when we come up to camp! read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. We usually go to countryside for breakfast but decided to try Russell's. It did not disappoint! read more

Breakfast served all day. BBQ is their specialty. If you know the Pymatuning area or where the Spillway is you'll find Russell's easily. It's worth it. read more
