Russell's was a great place to stop in and grab a bite to eat. We loved the fact that we could order breakfast for dinner!I ordered the Waffle and although it was tasty I would have preferred to have whipped cream & fruit on mine. Order the hash browns crispy & sausage links. Links were good hash browns were definitely not crispy but were still good.The cinnamon rolls were quite tasty but definitely need a cup of coffee or milk because it was pretty sweet.Service was great and I like the vibe that it was the type of diner I went to in my younger years!Although distance prevents me from going again I would be a regular at this place if I lived close by.

Russell's in Salina, KS, offers a cozy diner vibe with quick, friendly service and a spotless setting, though the dim lighting might give it an unexpectedly dark feel. The Chicken Fried Steak arrived thick and flavorful, but unfortunately, the breading fell apart with each cut. While the brown gravy was tasty, the portion of mashed potatoes was smaller than expected. The salad bar felt sparse, featuring only salads and no soup options. It's a decent spot for a quick meal but left me craving a bit more.

A great portion of breakfast. A lot of choices. The staff is very nice. I found the omelet can be a little too greasy but the biscuits gravy was amazing! We also had some pies, it was good too!

I would tell anyone that's in the Salina area to eat breakfast here. I'll never eat breakfast anywhere else but here while I'm in Salina. The value you get for your money here is the best in town. The amount of food on my plate was overflowing. The quality of the food was exceptional. The taste was excellent, and the service was second to none. Although the atmosphere probably isn't the greatest, the food and the people are. And that is what makes a good restaurant great. Don't go anywhere else for breakfast in Salina.

Russell's Restaurant is truly like a twilight zone. No, it is the twilight zone.I visited Russell's at around 2 p.m. on a Sunday in mid-July with four other guests. We were sat at a big table in the back of the restaurant immediately. I ordered one pancake, two over easy eggs and one biscuit. I drank water. I originally also ordered a cup of fruit, but our waitress advised against it, as the cup was only made with canned peaches used at the salad bar.My food was tasty, average for a diner-style restaurant near a travel center. My pancake did arrive a bit after my eggs and biscuit, which I wasn't too worried about, but my waitress took the pancake off my bill anyway. I thought this was an extremely generous offer.The restaurant was really understaffed, which was noted by a sign at the entrance of the restaurant. The sign indicated that due to short staff, bar seating was not available and guests should expect longer wait times. Our waitress also mentioned the restaurant's understaffing to us directly. One of my fellow guests asked about the soup of the day and our waitress said that because of a lack of staff, no one was able to make the homemade soups on the menu.Russell's atmosphere is really what adds to its twilight zone feel. Tables and chairs appeared right out of the '80s and small, TJ Maxx-style decor attempted to fill the bare walls. There was a portion of the restaurant near the front that was just sectioned off with black tarp. I'm not sure if this section was undergoing renovations or just in disrepair. And in the bar, two booth seats sat back to back with no table on either side. I'm assuming these were just unused seats, but it was a bit odd to see.Though understaffed, our waitress was friendly and helpful. She did openly complain about her hours and fellow coworkers with another waitress near our table, which is always a bit off-putting.My entire party visited the bathrooms and while they were clean, it did appear they were undergoing some sort of renovation or renovations had never been completed.Not sure I'd visit again but an interesting lunch experience!

Stopped there because it was convenient to the place I made a delivery to. Inside, looks like the place has been there quite a while. Server was friendly enough and efficient. Server said a salad bar trip was included in my order. Salad bar wasn't much, the lettuce bin, looked like some fresh lettuce was added to what looked like left over lettuce. The quantity of brown and browning lettuce was enough for me to pass on the salad. While waiting on my order, I heard what sounded like a microwave timer go off, then saw my food come out of the kitchen. The gravy on top of my food was steaming hot. The food under the gravy, was barely warm. Draw your own conclusion from that. The food I had was not good, it needs work, along with the salad bar. Not a place I'll go to again on my next trip out that way.
