5/5 Stars! The perfect breakfast! It’s all it’s hyped up to be and amazingly delicious! Love the thick bacon and the buttery hash browns with a crusty bottom. Pancakes were fluffy and divine. Over medium eggs were a bit too runny, closer to over easy. Toast was just okay. Service was top notch and professional. Ambiance was sophisticated and relaxed. Overall a relaxing meal with excellent food preparation. I can’t wait to come back!!

I loved it here! I went in the morning today (Monday) around 10:30am and there was a line. It went by quick though, under 10 minutes. My friend and I shared the mushroom cheese & spinach omelette with a side of hash brown and pancakes. I enjoyed all of it! Russell’s has been on my list for quite some time, glad I finally checked it out. I didn’t have a chance to try the coffee but definitely will return soon. Great location and awesome service. Welcoming and attentive. Cute decor too… retro, but artsy

American diner food. Came in for breakfast. Always wondered why there was always a long line and people seating outside and waiting and never ate here. First time here and I’d say, I expected something out of this world but was somewhat disappointed with the taste. Nothing extraordinary…regular diner breakfast. Coffee was watered down and had to be remade- not sure why? Staff were friendly and atmosphere was calm. Will definitely be back.

We ordered the ranch special, and it was really good — a solid, satisfying meal with everything done well. The pancakes were super fluffy and nicely made, soft on the inside with just the right texture. They were definitely one of the highlights. Another nice touch was the unlimited coffee, which made the whole experience feel even more relaxed and easygoing. Overall, it’s a great spot for a hearty breakfast with good portions and simple, well-executed food.

Excellent breakfast spot in Old Pasadena with a classic diner feel and really friendly service. I had the Meat Lovers scrambled eggs and they were absolutely awesome — generous portion, super flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The whole place has a cozy old-school atmosphere that fits Pasadena really well. Great option for breakfast before walking around the area. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.
