    Delicious! The grilled french toast was perfect. I love that it wasn’t soggy and that the condiments were on the side. You definitely need to make a reservation a few weeks in advance. Very cute atmosphere. Would definitely return!

    Lots of options to choose from: cookies, gooey butter bars, a few different types of cheesecakes, muffins, brownies, coffee, etc. You can tell they make everything from scratch. I tried the cheesecake and it was pretty good! Light and fluffy, and the rich caramel sauce on top was the best part. 👌🏼 A little small inside, but they have outdoor seating which is nice. The servers were very kind and sweet. If you're looking for decent baked goods in the area, definitely give them a try!

    Spectacular food and drinks for dinner, breakfast, and everything in between! Went for a dinner date and had an amazing meal. So good we went back for breakfast the next day. Wonderful staff. A warm and inviting atmosphere in a two story restaurant with plentiful indoor and outdoor seating. An endless selection of desserts. Street parking only.

    I had the cold brew cocktail and a savory croissant. Everything was delicious. It was our first time there. We sat on the patio. Our waitress Nikki was very friendly and had a wealth of knowledge about all the food and beverages. Which was a huge help in us making our selections. I even bought dessert to go because I couldn't resist not trying dessert. Which is something they are known for! I definitely plan on going back. There is only street parking but zip was able to find a spot down one of the streets near by.

    Great for brunch! They also have a great selection of bakery treats and cakes. We ordered the Cinnamon roll to share, the three of us could not finish it, it was huge! The quiche was also super tasty and fresh. Will try this place again for dinner for sure but brunch was a win. The restaurant is small so I would recommend a reservation.

    I'm just going to be straightforward and honest: The cocktails and the Lola Jean’s Egg Sandwich were pretty pretty prettyyyyy good. 😋 😍🍴 The sandwich had the perfect combination of flavors with every bite. The place was pretty busy, so ordering took awhile, and it was difficult to find our server at times, especially when we were trying to get the check so we could pay. It was only my first time eating here so I'm not complaining/understand things get busy. The food and drinks were worth the wait. I was definitely impressed/wanting to go back soon.

    We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Russell's about two months ago. Russell's has always been a special place for our family and we were so excited to have our wedding here! While you may know Russell's for their amazing food/drinks (which they are amazing!!!!!), the restaurant is stunning and each and every staff member went above and beyond to make our day special! I've never been to a wedding where guests are asking for to-go boxes because the food is just THAT GOOD. We are so grateful for Russell's and their amazing staff. If you've never thought of holding your special event here, think again! We would recommend this place over and over.

    Everything was wonderful as always. Every brunch item we ordered was perfect. Love the dog-friendly patio. Just a great place to enjoy a meal.

    Flavorful and delicious food. Cooked with love and care. Good service and nice atmosphere. One note to the restaurant would be to offer half portions as the full portions are truly massive and this limits me from ordering several dishes. Will definitely be coming back for more. My only negative would be that the cocktails were a bit too sweet for me and did not mirror the excellent quality of the food.

    Trish at the upstairs bar was the BEST. she was able to walk us through the menu as well as help us make decisions that matched our specific food requirements, ended all of it with a smile, and genuinely seemed happy to help. It doesn’t hurt that the food with some of the best breakfast food that I’ve had in a very long time

    We’d been to the Fenton location a few times for baked goods, but hadn’t had lunch or dinner from either Russell’s location. Fun vibe on the inside. Our waitress was super friendly and very attentive - mega quick with refills and very helpful with suggestions. My wife opted for the espresso brunch cocktail (which includes rum and cream). She liked it very much. The iced tea is fresh too. My wife ordered the flatbread breakfast pizza and was very pleased with her choice. My sunrise sourdough breakfast sandwich was overflowing with bacon and eggs - super tasty! I opted for the home fries and was not disappointed. We also grabbed several goodies from the counter before we left (including a bear claw, peach cobbler and more). We’d gladly return for lunch or dinner. :-)

    If you are looking for a cozy, neighborhood café, that offers top quality entrees and desserts; Russell’s is a must! The charming atmosphere accompanied by the extensive range of pastries and menu options will have anyone dying to come back, time and time again. Having been to Russell’s for lunch and brunch twice, this spot has become a favorite. For lunch, we ordered the Baked Potato soup and the Turkey, Gruyère, and Bacon sandwich, both served with locally made GOAT Chips. We also ordered a slice of their Lemon and Buttercream cake and Bourbon Chocolate cake. Both were delicious and left us wanting more. So, we had to stop by the pastry counter and order some to go! For brunch, I ordered the loaded French Toast with the most delicious brioche bread, with a side of house made whipped cream and lemon curd. Highly recommend this restaurant. Be sure to make reservations for their weekend brunch and dinner services! They book up quickly!

    I visited the place for some gooey butter cake, which I have heard a lot about. The cake was definitely something very unique and different. It had a good crust at the bottom, mild softness on top, with full of gooey ness in the center. Russell’s ambience was really good, and a lot of fresh dessert options. They have fresh cookies with icing served in a tray, fresh batch ones. They have street parking, so plan for finding a spot and walking to the place!

    Phenomenal food, friendly and above and beyond staff. Carefully and meticulously crafted drinks. Calm and comfortable ambiance. Ribeye and roasted chicken from the Valentine’s menu.

    Make your reservation early! Brunch is just amazing. The description of the food just does no justice. You've got to taste it! My granddaughter had the biscuits and gravy...beautiful and so tasty. I've had other items in the past, this was my first time having the Club. It will be very hard to pass it up on my next visit. The Club sandwich OMG. Real roasted turkey breast. Thick cut bacon, housemade aoli, not one but TWO kinds of cheese on the most delicious, tender though hearty bread. And you cannot pass up that cinnamon roll! I'm not a fan of cream cheese icing, so we got it in the side. You don't even need it, the cinnamon roll is just that perfect ❣️ Definitely make plans and get your reservation in!

    Nice friendly neighborhood place. I like the fact that a small business invests in their neighbors. My grandparents lived down the street. My brothers and myself used to go too a neighborhood candy store which is still there. New business though. The food was fresh and inlarge portions. We took home half. Excellent service. The atmosphere was very comfortable, just like eating at a friends home. They also had a very large selection of pastries ,but we were too full. There was a constant stream of customers . I would recommend visiting.

    A cool brisk morning, and a touch of mist engulfed our chilled bodies as we briskly sped up to get to the front door and enter. A flower truck just outside that instantly warm your heart. As you enter a warm and friendly welcome, and a plethora of smells that just wrap themselves around ya! Seating is proportional and the service is amaaazing! Attentive and courteous. Let me not forget the sweet treats and delights you can take home, excuse as I wipe the drool away…….please do enjoy the photos and if you are in the area, I invite you to thoroughly enjoy! Bed wishes and take care.

    Service was awesome. The BLTAE was way too messy and hard to eat, the biscuits and gravy were good but very filling. Wasn’t wowed but left full and satisfied so I would recommend overall.

    Best Gooey Butter Cake in St.Louis, from Orginal flavor to Chocolate Chip, Lemon Curd, Triple Berry and more. Homemade Carrot Cake, Cheesecakes. Brownies, Cookies, Giant Coconut covered in Chocolate Macrons. This place is one of the best bakeries & restaurants in our lovely city if you need brunch, lunch or dinner don't forget dessert. Another stop at my favorite bakery. This time bought a few different desserts, Cherry Gooey Butter cake and old family recipe Carrot Cake along with Turtle Brownies. Update when I taste them.
