Serving Ballston Spa Since 2008

The first Russell’s opened in 1991 in Pleasantville, down in Westchester County, where the deli trade is a religion. The counter came up to Milton Ave in 2008 and has been a Ballston Spa staple ever since.

Boar’s Head meats sliced the moment you order, bread delivered fresh, salads made in house, and gluten free rolls always on hand. Nothing sits pre-made under a light. Every sandwich is built when you ask for it.
