The First Russ' Restaurant opens in 1934.
J. Russel Bouws, the founder, opened his first restaurant at the age of twenty in 1934. His tale is as follows: In Holland, Michigan, his father bought "Doc's…
1/2 Biscuits & Gravy was phenomenal! Biscuits were definitely from scratch. Very fluffy and soft. The gravy was perfection. Meat was broken down so no big chunks and it had great flavor.
The bacon? I mean, can bacon be bad? It was cooked perfectly.
The cheese on the Loaded Hashbrowns wasn't melted but it was a Saturday morning so I'm sure they were packed. A microwave fixed it right up.
Would definitely recommend for a lazy weekend breakfast!

I hate to mention this as your squash is always so sweet and tasty - but I threw it out, as it tasted very sour. I order it all of the time, and not only was there very very little in the containers, but sour as well. The hot turkey sandwich was very good, but I paid a littler bit more for extra gravy, and did not get as much as I got before in this sandwich. The Slim Jim as perfect according to my lunch guest. Thanks

Please stop using present containers, so the 2nd hearting of the meal can be re-heated in a microwave without melting. And paper bags with handles carry a lot better. Thanks. PS. Did not order the squash this time, as the last 2 times they were very sour. and tasted like it was bad.

Buffalo Chicken Sandwich did not satisfy as a buffalo sandwich since there was little to no sauce and was dry. the kettle chips are amazing as well as the sweet potato fries.
