WHITE KNIGHT
Russell’s Barbecue in Elmwood Park isn’t just a spot to eat; it’s a trip down memory lane. During my latest visit, I was instantly transported to my younger days, with the echoes of 50’s and 60’s classics setting the mood. This establishment beautifully juxtaposes its old-school aura with modern touches, like the state-of-the-art self-serve beverage machines, making it a unique blend of the past and present.

First time coming in and it was great. The server was polite and knowledgeable. The service fast. I picked up the BBQ Brisket sandwich meal with fries. Drink sold separately. The Brisket was perfectly cooked, came apart easily. The Hawaiian bun was soft and heavenly. The fries really surprised me. They weren’t over fried. The only real downside was that there was only one type of BBQ sause. It had an apple sause flavor. It was good. I just was expecting more from the sause. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

Russell’s has completely declined. They continually mess up my orders so need to check them at the time of pickup. Was just there tonight to pickup a phoned in drive thru order. They forgot the french fries with my cheeseburger dinner. Had to park and and go inside to let them know and wait for the fries to be made. No apologies from any of the staff. They don’t care. Also some genius making the food thinks you put pumpkin seeds all over a chicken Ceasar salad. Place was completely dead on a Saturday night so obviously I’m not the only one who’s tired of the poor service. The owner needs to get it together.

Ordered the smoked brisket meal and the only thing extraordinary about it was how completely ordinary it was. No obvious Smoky smell or flavor and rather dry. The fries were decent the coleslaw was basically cabbage and vinegar.. The one highlight of the trip was the young lady who took my order at the drive-up Gianni B was completely delightful. First impression is that I won’t be eating there again.

The interior is awesome and classic as the neon signs. Great smoked meat and their bbq sauce is great too.

We’ve been coming for years. The food is okay. The service is good… people are nice. The atmosphere is very dated. Bathrooms are super small. The whole place could use some renovation and updates.
