                                  We had a wonderful first experience here. Don’t know how it took us so long to eat here but now that we have we are already looking forward to our next visit. The ambiance, food, drink and service was all perfect! The pot roast was the winner and don’t forget to leave room for dessert! Thanks again!

                                  We had a very nice dinner at Russel's on Macklind last night. The Crab Cake was delicious and a huge portion! Everyone's meal was generously sized and very good. Our server was attentive and kind. We certainly will return.

                                  Cocktails and food were great. Pot roast was tender and flavorful with the right amount of fat. Fresh made pasta and shrimp, a special, was excellent. Servers were knowledgeable and attentive. A very nice dinner.

                                  We LOVE Russell's on Macklind. The food and drinks is always great and we always leave with multiple pieces of cake to-go. We got o Russell's every January to celebrate my birthday (because it is a bit of a drive for us to do it more often) and it never disappoints!
