Awesome breakfast and service except for one employee who im assuming is the owner (no way you couldn't get fired with this poor level of service.) Wont answer the phone when she is there alone for take out, even with an empty resturaunt. Is the restaurant closed?! Nope! Consistantly gets your order wrong. This place would be perfect if this woman stopped working here. The only downfall of Russ's!
Adding into this review, almost a year later. Same woman pulling the same stuff STILL. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel via phone, 5 minutes later I show up, and it had not been started.

Great old time jukebox with tunes from the 50's and 60's. Actual 45 rpm records!! All in all not a bad experience. I...

You walk into a simple, small, cute diner like restaurant and are immediately acknowledged by someone whether it's Candy, Sue, Sara or any of the other amazing staff there. They are almost always smiling and having a good time!
The food is always on point. You could be simple or get creative. We periodically started asking them to make is chocolate chip and bacon pancakes... they are amazing!
If I could make 2 additions to the menu I would add country fried steak and biscuits and gravy!
I'll continue to go there until I'm physically incapable or they...
