Buck Russell's

3% service charge added on causal restaurant... Dam, lost me forever! 21 dollars for a smash burger with fries... not cheap more importantly not great. Salad good, kids tenders good too. Got me once, sorry not in a rush to get back.

Food was awesome, the burger was perfectly smashed and delicious. The fries were great too, love the Buck Russell’s sauce. Very cool spot that’s attached to a pizza shop and bakery. My only complaint and why they didn’t get 5 stars (would have given 4.5 if it was an option) is they need a smaller fry option. They only have a basket of fries which is way too much for one person with the double smash burger. They need to offer a burger and fries for $20 or less, $22 for burger and fries is just too much. I added a soda and it was over $26 for lunch! Please put a burger and fry combo on the menu for $18 or $19 and I’ll be coming all the time. I will say this is the best burger in Wilmette by a mile, even with the new competition in town. Keep up the good work!

We got some delicious sandwiches and then a little treat in the bakery. Everything was delicious and this was a good last meal before boarding our flight home.

Food was fantastic! Desserts were mouth watering! Cute place! Love that they do classes!

Takeaway: Incredible sandwiches in a fun, old-school diner package, but definitely pricey for what it is Context: Dined-in for lunch What I Got: Turkey Jeweler (9/10) One of the best turkey sandwiches I've ever had. Warm shaved turkey with an incredible, just sweet and tangy enough spread with peppers that add that extra zing . Really just one of the best sandwiches I've had in the area - especially considering just how simple it was. However, for ~$14, it really was quite a small sandwich. I still think it's probably worth it, since the sandwich itself really was quite impressive, but the decor is actually a bit misleading in this sense, since you're expecting something a little more substantial with the image that it gives off.
