We went here for the first time with our grandchildren. We shared a burrito, which was enough for the 2 of us. All the portions were large and delicious, even the kid’s menu. The orange juice was fresh-squeezed. Service was excellent. Reservations aren’t accepted; the whole party has to be there to ve seated. There’s always a line.

Clasic dinner with a French flare. Lunch was fantastic we went back for Breakfast.

Heard great reviews but we must have gone on a bad day. For being on the coast, with fresh seafood readily available, the calimati and mussels were disappointing. Calimari had no flavor and and mussels had a quite bitter sauce that made me wonder if they were near spoiling. Service was average. Will not return for a second experience.

Service is excellent, the food is of very good quality and generous in quantity. A very good establishment and a very nice surprise. Good job!

This is the only place to go to for a hearty diner style breakfast with classical music and opera to awaken you. It opens at 6.30am on the weekend and I recommend you get there early otherwise you could be in for a wait. We arrived a little later one Saturday morning and the queue outside was growing. The coffee is great and the staff are super friendly and attentive despite being on their toes. The food choices are vast and the kitchen is very accommodating for any changes you may wish to make. The food is generous in proportion and as Russell’s is a Pasadena institution - paying homage to it over a delicious breakfast is a must.

A line indicated people knew a good place to eat. Great wait staff. Food ok, big breakfast place. Might pick & choose ur favorites.

Terrific restaurant. Great food in an inviting atmosphere. Exceptional pancakes and coffee. The service was notable for a diner. The seating was comfortable, and the replicas of famous paintings was cool. It is worth mentioning again that the pancakes are head and shoulders above any other that I've tried. I would go out of my way to return to Russell's.

Typical dinner cuisine. No espresso naturally, but they brought a small pitcher of warm milk for my coffee. Very popular.
Russells is awesome. I looove their banana pancakes for some reason. I never order it anywhere else but at Russells its what i alwaays get.
Our server was also amazing! I was telling MY FRIENDS (not the server) that the hash browns are yummy when theyre super crispy - and mine ended up coming out crispier?!? Im not sure if it was intentional but im pretty sure it was. He was very observant. My friend and I decided to share an order and it came out split in half, on two separate plates (which we didnt request specifically). We also ordered one order of communal pancakes for the table and of course when they came they were: split, halved, all separately plated with syrups for each. It was soo thoughtful!!!
I’m not a morning person, but having such an amazing breakfast with thoughtful service started my day off with a bundle of joy. :)
Russells is a classic that has a permanent place in my food lovin heart!

Long overdue review. Been coming here for over a decade now. The staff, every single one of them, are warm, welcoming, and go the extra mile for everyone. The food is so consistently on point without fail. Get the waffle-best in the world. As dinners should go-this place has the classic booths and bar seating, great art on the walls, and always good music in the background. Parking is easy. My only complaint is a selfish one, and that is I wish they were open 24/7. 10 out of 10.

This is a wonderful breakfast spot with good food and great service. They have a lot of traditional American breakfast choices, and healthy options as well. The coffee is really good! I was very impressed. The service is excellent and has a very welcoming feel.
