Good for special occasions

Russell’s Smokehouse is a nod to an early time, to the spirit of the West and the cowboy tradition of cooking over a slow, low flame. Our specialty is not in the sauce (which is why we don't call it barbecue), but in the rich smoke and the method of cooking.

Our waiter never came back after the water order. We waited 15-20 minutes in an empty restaurant. We didn’t get the opportunity to eat anything because we left without anyone even noticing.

We went for restaurant week, but we didn’t get the deal because no where it said it start at 5pm. The food was really bland. It only tasted good with the bbq sauce.

Our service was subpar, we let two staff members know how the food was dissatisfying, but they couldn't care less. The steak was too salty, and they made it clear that wasn't a priority to them. No need to return here.

Excellent and interesting cocktails, meats that are done by people who care. Neither boiled/baked to death, nor stickily sauced. Meaty and perfectly done with three excellent sauces (regular, hot, mustard-based) on the table. Great digs, too. A real pleasure.
