Absolutely top notch ambiance inside. If you're looking for the new coziest restaurant in St. Paul, you've found it. Highly, highly recommend the cornbread! Really impressed with Russels. Perfect date night spot.

We finally checked out the recently open Russell's and were not disappointed. The place was energized (aka loud) when we walked in - we were told by the owner, Todd, that he is working on dampening the sound. Our server, Priya, was fantastic and friendly. I was told to try the Cacio Fries and Onion Rings, unfortunately the rings were out; the fries were very good (we all loved them). My "R" Old Fashioned was a bit watered down. I really enjoyed my Crocus Hill Burger (& fries), my wife's Swedish Meatballs were bland, our friends were wowed with the Skuna Bay Salmon and the Summit Hill Caesar Salad (kudos for having anchovy in the dressing). The sides Green Beans and Roasted Mushrooms are also not to be missed. All in all, it was a really good experience and we will definitely be back for the Onion Rings, Chicken Wings, and others.

So I'm at Russell's. I walk In and I get this shocked look from a few greeters. Not a very welcoming feeling. One lady says hold let me see what's available. Then another lady says were available only by reservation. I ask to be seated but it everyone seemed to make it uneasy atmosphere. I ordered this good sounding burger with fries. Side of Green beans. They bring out fries and green beans, but no burger... so I waited 15 minutes to get the burgers. By that time every getting cold. I ask for bags for my food since I waited so long to eat it. The person getting the bags, throws them on the table, like he couldn't just hand it to me. I'm feeling like my race had a big factor with how I was treated at this restaurant. If your a person of color avoid this place.

Visited Russell’s on Saturday night to celebrate my birthday. We had a great time! Atmosphere was great, food and cocktails were delicious, and service was on point. I had the smash burger with an old fashioned and crème brûlée for dessert. Can’t wait to go back :)

The dry rub wings have Monte Carlo beat, and the spare ribs were fall off the bone tender.

Russell’s high quality cuisine served in an inviting and cozy setting is a fun addition to St. Paul!
