The food was amazing, hot, fresh, and delicious. I also loved the art on the walls and classical music with my breakfast.

My guest and I both had the pastrami, Reuben sandwich, sans the sauerkraut. The rye bread was delicious, as was the pastrami. The chef could’ve been more generous with the pastrami, however. The onion rings are awesome.

First off Dennis is the man!!Welcoming, kind and helpfulNow the food!!!Absolutely RIDICULOUS... Literally some of the best pancakes waffles and BUTTER I have ever had in my 44 years on this earth....More than anything from the bacon to the eggs etc you can tell it's not cheap ingredients....they are using quality top to bottom
I am staying near by and did not want hotel over priced breakfast so wanted to try. 5 star results. Clean and well run. The owner knows the regulars by name. The coffee is bold. The hashbrowns were crispy and not oiled up. I had the Denver Omelette and it was outstanding. Keep up the great work and see you again!

Russell's in Pasadena is a delicious brunch spot for anytime of the week! They have a great diner atmosphere with good service, however, be warned it can be up to a 1:45hr wait on the weekends! My order of the The BIG one came with two pancakes, two eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, and a side of toast. I could not forget the corn-beef hash as well which really hit the spot for a nice brunch!

Great atmosphere, great food. This place gets packed fast, there's a line outside sometimes. But it's definitely worth the wait. My Go too, is always the big one. I haven't anything else yet. The big one is pretty much the classic breakfast eggs, pancakes, your choice of sausage/ham. If you drive there, they will give you a free pass. You want have to worry about a ticket etc etc Definitely have been my go to breakfast spots. I love this place. I'm like a regular I hope you enjoy your time here

This is a great way to start the day; a delicious breakfast. I enjoyed my breakfast so much the last time, I had to have it again. Marcos was working on the other side today, so my new server was Victor. He was good, but Marcos coming by to check up on me was the icing on the cake; very sweet!! And the chefs did a great job preparing my breakfast. The bacon was crispy as I liked. The waffle was done correctly, soft inside and crisp outside and it was yummy with blueberries and strawberry slices; the only thing was they ran out of cream which I like to eat with the strawberries. Other than that, it was another great service by both servers, new and previous. Thanks guys!!

Absolutely a great spot to grab a delicious hamburger, and definitely get their hashbrowns, they are famous for them! Definitely better than your average hamburger place, lots of fresh pies and other goodies on the menu. I'm a creature of habit, and I always go for hamburger and hashbrowns and have never been disappointed. Quick service, and good prices.
