Our Story

More Than a Restaurant — We're Family

Russ Restaurant started with a simple idea: serve honest, hearty food that makes people feel at home. Located right here in Wagoner on East Cherokee Street, we've been feeding our neighbors with the same recipes and same warmth from day one.

Our kitchen treats every piece of chicken like it's for Sunday dinner and every fish fillet like it just came out of the river. We bread by hand, fry fresh, and plate with the kind of care that only comes from actually caring about the people sitting at your table.

Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a proper family meal, we want you to leave feeling satisfied — not just full, but genuinely happy. That's the Russ way.

What Makes Russ Different

It's not just what we serve — it's how we serve it. Here's what keeps people coming back to our Wagoner table.

Hand-Breaded Daily

Every piece is breaded by hand, never frozen, and fried to order. You can taste the difference that fresh prep makes.

Made with Love

Our recipes come from a place of genuine care. We cook the way our grandmothers taught us — slowly, carefully, and with heart.

Friendly Atmosphere

Walk in and you're treated like a guest, not a customer. Our staff remembers your name and your usual order.

Family Friendly

Bring the whole crew. We've got space for families, room for groups, and a menu that keeps everyone happy.

Right in Town

Conveniently located on East Cherokee Street in the heart of Wagoner. Easy to find, easy to park, easy to enjoy.

Always Hot & Fresh

We don't hold food under heat lamps. Every order comes out of the fryer straight to your table, nice and hot.
