Russell's Bistro from Austin Menu

Russell's is a restaurant in West Austin that has a lot of potential but falls short in several areas. The coffee from Anderson next door is delicious, and the baked goods are nice. However, the lunch menu is lacking, and the service can be subpar. Some diners have had issues with their meals, including unappetizing presentations and lukewarm dishes. The ribeye is a highlight, but other items like the potatoes and side dishes may not hit the mark. The cocktails and service at the bar have also received negative feedback. While some patrons appreciate the covered outdoor dining area and location next to Andersen's Coffee, others have felt let down by their experiences. Despite some positive comments about the Brussel sprouts with blueberries and dishes like Eggs Benedict, overall, reviews for Russell's are mixed, making it a place that some customers may want to give a try while others may want to steer clear.

What Agustin Shanahan likes about Russell's Bistro:
Very good brunch. Had the spinach benedict very well done. GF had the chicken salad, which was excellent We had a problem with an OpenTable gift cert, which was partially my fault for not doing due diligence, but the manager (black hair with beard/mustache didn't catch his name) was really gracious, giving us some coffee and pastries as a bit of compensation. Really appreciated that! (Russell's cinnamon bun/muffin th... View all feedback.

What Glen Boyle doesn't like about Russell's Bistro:
I really want Russell's to succeed because West Austin needs a good restaurant. My husband and I enjoy their delicious Anderson coffee from next door. They also have tasty baked goods. However, the lunch menu is lacking and the service can be poor. We decided to give Russell's another chance for dinner last night. I ordered vegetable sides, which were all tasty. My husband ordered the pork, which came with mashed pot... View all feedback.

Good experience. The only major complaint was that my steak sandwich was overcooked for my taste. I decided not to send it back but they would have easily revised it.

We have reserved an anniversary dinner. Ruth's Chris doesn't disappoint. The food was great, the service was great and the ambience was nice. This was a first visit to this location on LaCantera Parkway. The downside was that my vehicle was broken into and the rest of our evening plans were ruined. Signs said measured with the camera - not necessarily true. The buildings are measured. Of course, Ruth's Chris wasn't really to blame, but waiting an hour to report it as we live a bit outside of SA was definitely a downer. Next time - UBER for sure.

The reservation was fantastic but the management has to do something to find better directions to this place as it couldn't even be located with GPS!
