At today's restaurant prices when you splurge on a nice dinner you really want it to be an experience. Russell's delivered in every respect. Although it is located adjacent to a business park you feel like you're in a small town rural setting. Our server was wonderful. He was equal parts host, advisor, comedian, and server. His skill added to the experience, without being intrusive. Cocktails were delightful. One Laphroaig with a big cube, one Huckleberry cosmo. Dinner was a split beet salad, one ribeye done medium rare, and one rack of lamb also done medium rare. Both were perfect, the salad was the great starter. For a complete dinner experience Russell's is a fantastic option.

Interesting story there with the wines/owners that I'll spare you - but to the event. Wine was flowing and overall tasty. As with any tasting, some are to your taste, some aren't. The food overall also was good! Nitpicking we were less than impressed with the rissoto and a couple other small things - but considering they were catering for 100 folks and still running normal service downstairs it was pretty good! That ganache tart was killer. Would love to come back for regular dinner and see how they really shine. 8/10 will return

Weekly events are scheduled such as Crab Night, Naughty Bingo, Trivia Night, Prime Rib Night, Karaoke and Live DJ night. Indoors has the capacity to seat large parties. Outdoor seating is an option. Pull tabs can be played for those who like to gamble. Local craft beer as well as a cider is on draft. Happy Hour is offered Mon-day-Friday from 2pm-6pm. Taco Tuesday is offered: two pork tacos for $8 or four pork tacos for $14. During our visit, my wife and I slurped on Manny's and Bodhi. My wife ordered the Happy Hour Wings (10) for $14. I ordered the two Pork Tacos for $8. During our visit, service was slow to non-existent. When cashing out I was not given happy prices and was told that our order had not been entered into the system in time. I had to actually show a picture of my food with the date time stamp (delivered 15 minutes before HH ended) in order to have happy hour prices honored. Overall, service and food did not impress me.

Never even knew this area existed, but here we are. Started out with an Acid BlackBerry Cider, and it did not disappoint. This place is actually pretty big, with tons of seating and ambiance. After some chit chat, we ordered and I went with the Double Smash Burger and regular Fries. In the mighty and powerful words of Buford T. Justice... "SOMBITCH!!" Hands down the BEST Smash Burger I've had! Paired perfectly with dill pickle slices, that double American Cheese, grilled onions and whatever sauce or spread they had on it...warning... it's juicy and can get a little sloppy, but that makes a solid smash burger!!! That meal perfectly hit the spot! Could be a bit pricey on the menu, but anymore, what place isn't? Either way, you can expect some awesome grub that won't break the bank... especially if the Director is picking up the tab ;). The service was great, the conversation and team was in good form and cheer, and the meal was spot on. Hoping one day I get back out this way as an excuse to stop by again. Thanks for the experience and as always, enjoy and have a Smashing Ol' Time!

They automatically add 20% which I was fine with because service was great, but just a heads up. And prices seem high, like two meals and two drinks at HH prices was $70 before tip, you'd think it would be more of a bargain. But still, I wouldn't mind going back to try more of their menu.

Food & drink: (4/5) We got the Cajun tots to share with a side of ranch, which I think they make in-house. The tots were just the right amount of crunch and savory-ness. Exactly what I needed. To drink, I got the triPPPy cider and I really enjoyed it! The fruity notes aren't as strong in this one compared to other ciders I've had but it was still great. Finished it all. Service: (4/5) Super friendly. Just wish our food came a little faster. There weren't many people sitting in and our tator tots took maybe 30 mins. Other notes: Not exactly sure how the parking situation is still since we got there at 10:30pm in the pitch dark. We ended up at the parking lot next door and wandered over until we found it. A little confusing but I'm sure there's a better way to get here.

It's a cool atmosphere, waitress was kind, service was alright, but the only thing that stood out was the surprisingly low quality of my food. I don't usually order a chicken tender meal, but theirs was located at the top of the menu and it had a buttered up description, so I gave it a try.... And then I regretted my decision as soon as I saw my plate. Frozen chicken tenders, dirty grease fries, and watery coleslaw. All for $25. It was unreasonable. It gave me more of a $8 Dairy Queen chicken basket vibe, but I don't want to diss Dairy Queen. I'll pay $25 for Queen before I return to McMenamins. Would love to see McMenamins take a step up on this so they can give their guests an experience more pleasant than mine.

We ordered the California omelette with hash browns and toast. It was decent, but honestly pretty bland on its own and tasted much better once we added sauce. We also tried the strawberry rhubarb French toast. It wasn't my favorite - the topping felt a bit thrown together, and the whole dish was much sweeter than I expected. The coffee was okay, and the orange juice tasted like bottled juice rather than fresh squeezed.

We tend to get the 2 for $28 meals which include an appetizer, and the onion rings and chicken wings are our favorites. My kids usually get the pasta meals which always end up very tasty, and we have gotten the burgers and chicken sandwiches, which are also very flavorful. My mom really loves the riblets and gets mashed potatoes instead of fries. The waiters always seem very nice and are quick to get the food out and refill drinks. Every time we have gone that hasn't been a direct dinner time, there has been room for us to sit down right away. We try to avoid going there between 5 and 6 PM just because it seems to be the busiest with the longest wait times, but times before or after this seem to be fine. The dining room has a good ambience with local pictures and colorful lamps, and it never seems to be too loud or too cold or too hot. They have great cocktails that are pretty cheap too on special at times.

Every time we come to this location (and the location is important as the individuals really make or break things!) we have a great experience. We are constantly seated right away, have the friendliest wait staff, and get our food quickly. We usually come for happy hour and order a load of apps for the table, and the price is unbeatable. We order 3 apps for the two of us and spend just over $30 with tip. Paying is easy with the devices on the table, and it even accepts gift cards right there. I consider myself lucky that this is the closest location to us, because as prices skyrocket, Applebees becomes a staple and it's great to know there's an attentive, quick, and friendly location nearby.
