“While this huge place...”

While this huge place seriously needs to update the castle decor, the ribs are tender and the sauce is smokey n spicy. Love the "dry" ribs. Good slaw with a pickle slice on top. more

I really think that you have to have grown up with Russel's to really appreciate it. My mom talked about how they moved the tables so they could dance. My early childhood memories were of the wooden tables, glossy with thick layers of varnish, and of those small bottles of coke, and of the juke box selections at the tables.... more
