The Russell Restaurant & Catering Company

One of my favorites! The space is dark, rustic, and moody but the wrap around windows warm it right up! I’m a sandwich girl, so I’ve tried and endorse them all. If I go salad I’d recommend the Steak & Greens. If I go entree, I’d recommend the Fish & Chips. But the hands down winner is always the Steak Chimi sandwich and their house lemonade. A great place to stop in for a solo lunch or meet up with friends to fill up a community table. The dining experience is counter ordered with a self serve station for drinks and amenities. Also be sure to make a pass at their dessert window to see what’s out for the day.

My husband Ben & I have loved The Russell for years – the delicious, hearty, and nutritious food (especially their outstanding Burger!), the cozy decor, and the friendly service & atmosphere – so much so, that we asked them to cater our Wedding, and it was EXCEPTIONAL. I am certain this is THE place in Kansas City to trust with your special occasions. The food was perfect – we had steak, chicken, salmon, roasted vegetables and more served family style. For cocktail hour, we had an overflowing charcuterie spread. For both dinner and cocktail hour, their display is unmatched – it's bountiful, elegant, and warm. We even hosted our Rehearsal Dinner at The Russell, featuring wonderful lamb chops and some special sushi from their other fine dining restaurant, Noka. They provided a white glove, yet familial feeling service throughout the whole process. We are forever grateful for Amante, Natasha, Peter, Jolene, and the whole team at The Russell. ❤️

In town from Detroit. All I can say is "WOW KC- WELL DONE!!" Had the salmon/avocado toast appetizer & this Heavenly steak sandwich.

They put the E in eclectic, the A in awesome, and the T in tasty when it comes to their food. You definitely want to EAT here!! This place never disappoints. They are still working on the best way to do pickup out front. If needed, it is easy to walk in to get their attention. They do not have a large dining space; but, they make it work. The food, whether it be the salads, the burger, or other things I have tasted, are FANTASTIC! I would eat here more if we were closer to downtown.

Walked a ways to drum up an appetite. The menu here looked great from the palm. Chose to eat light and ran with the salmon bowl. Really impressive display. Dressing was perfect and the roasted nuts added the texture. Fish was grilled to perfection. Looking forward to exploring more.

Quaint vibe. Super friendly staff and helpful. Food quality is great with perfectly balanced, elevated flavors.

Disclaimer: I typically do not enjoy New-Age American pretentious sort of places. I had that expectation walking in here. I WAS REALLY WRONG. Very eclectically and well decorated with a very unique concept and menu.. this place was great. The food was so light but complex. So many different flavors with every bite... It may be the best lunch I've had in KC (minus Gates, but that's a totally different thing but also ironically next door) I'll let the pictures do the talking. This is a real gem.

First let me say, the images online do not do this space justice. It's old timey and classy. Think Cracker Barrel if Cracker Barrel's designers had gone to a proper antique store to find their decorations. The food was delicious. I had the salmon bowl, and I can tell I'm going to be craving it again in 3 days. It was so good. Can't wait to bring the rest of my family here. Thanks for a wonderful lunch!
