Review: Russell Williams Family Restaurant
Location: Plains Road, Burlington ON
Review Rating: 5 Stars!
Russell Williams has the reputation for the ‘best breakfast’ in Burlington. After my last experience of ‘best of’ I went with a jaded eye.
Upon entering the casual restaurant what immediately caught my attention was that 95% of the seats were taken. Good sign- a full house usually means good fare.
The waitress greeted our table quickly, with the menu and coffee ready. Coffee is definitely a morning staple in my life. Okay- so a morning and afternoon staple. Giggles!
Russell Williams’s breakfast is reported to be so good that they serve it “all day long.” I chose the Breakfast Classic- with Ham, rye toast, no butter. Eggs over easy. Ham is trickier to cook in my opinion then bacon or sausage. This selection was only $5.50
The plate arrived quickly, over flowing with home fries, two large slices of ham and eggs cooked to perfection. And the toast, exactly as I asked, no butter. Might seem like a simple request to most. You would be surprised how many times I ask for no butter on my toast, only to have it covered in it.
So far, so good! As I ate I watched the waitress attend to the many customers easily, coffee ready for refills- while the plates came in and out the kitchen with ease. Service and attention to detail- 5 stars! Great service though can only go so far, if the food does not measure up.
I am happy to report that Russell Williams Family Restaurant lives up to its reputation. Their breakfast was cooked perfectly. I left with food on my plate, (sorry Mom!) however there was just no way I could finish the large portion served.
This is a great place to just kick back and enjoy a great meal. When you arrive the sign says “Please Seat Yourself.” Russell Williams is exactly what it proclaims to be-- a relaxed casual family restaurant- with fair prices, great service and wonderful food.
The Ham? Perfect!
