This is the best casual eating place in Russell. It was so good we went 2 nights in a row. We had pizza, fish and chips and tacos. The fish and chips were spectacular, the pizza was great. Highly recommended.

Amazing pizzas and atmosphere. We went for an early dinner and enjoyed the afternoon sun in the beer garden. Will definitely be back!

Been here several times and enjoyed it. Arrived three minutes before opening on a rainy day and was advised to go and do a little more shopping as they hadn’t put the cutlery out yet. So off back out into the rain to wait. The calamari was okay and straight out of a freezer pack from the wholesaler. The two pizza mains were again okay a thin layer of tomato with a few small pieces of mozzarella scattered on the base accompanying around ten baby finger nail size pieces of fennel sausage. No one bothered to ask if we enjoyed our food and when we left with the staff still out numbering the customers no one bothered to say good bye or even thanks. Let’s see if the awards still come in this year.

We just love this place. Great food, pizza, fish and chips, fish tacos, all cooked to order along with an extensive choice of beers, larger and wine to accompany the food. I’ve never been to a place where the is such a welcoming ambiance, whether it be quiet or busy. We live in the UK but go to Hone’s as often as we can when visiting Russell. There are long tables and benches, (sit where you like, it’s a great way of meeting people from around the world), both under cover and outside, or if you wish, some smaller tables for couples. Order at the bar and just wait (but not for very long) for your food to arrive. The staff are lovely, always friendly, welcoming and efficient.

This is an absolute must place to frequent whilst in Russell.
