Really authentic curry at diggers.

Jan 2024 • family

Just had dinner with my brother at the diggers restaurant, RSA Club in Russell NZ. I had a prawn curry, and Bob had prawns, scallops mushrooms potatoes and corn in a pesto sauce. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and we would recommend it.

Beautiful meal

Dec 2022 • family

Thought we would try the place out, didn’t expect to be absolutely blown away. Service was amazing, staff were very friendly and the food was awesome and so was the price. Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting the beautiful Russell. The new owners are doing an amazing job.

Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant by the water

Mar 2024 • solo

The fish lunch was superb. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience of having lunch by the water I am sure that next door at the Marlborough the prices would have been more and certainly would not have been a better meal.

Expensive

Feb 2024 • family

Six chicken nibbles (called wings on the menu but were definitely just nibbles) for $20 ! Drinks were reasonably priced but the portion sizes for all three items we had off the menu were disappointing.

Called in for a meal at dinner time.

Sep 2019 • none

We were having a break in Russell and called into the RSA to have a meal as we had seen a sign outside.The people there were friendly and pointed out the menu. We decided on the fresh fish meal, paid at the bar and took the ticket into the restaurant. The meal was excellent and we then went back two more times for another dinner and a roast at lunch time on the sunday.The meals were very well priced and we were very happy with what we got.We will be going back there next time we are in Russell.It is suitable for families as well.

Excellent Food & Great Value for Money

Jul 2019 • family

I recently attended the RUSSELL BIRDMAN FESTIVAL along with my 3 children. We visited the DIGGERS FAMILY RESTAURANT at the RUSSELL RSA on the Saturday for lunch. We found the food to be excellent, in quality, quantity and great value for money. The burgers in particular were exceptional. This place was found by accident and is a real gem hidden away; just waiting to be found. It was so good that we returned on the Saturday evening for dinner and also for the fabulous "Roast of the Day" (Pork Belly) on Sunday. A return visit is a definite on our next visit to RUSSELL.

Excellent value for price

Mar 2019 • solo

In a backstreet of Russell where most people stop to eat on the waterfront. Friendly environment in this RSA (Association that support servicemen and their families) managed small restaurant. 2 different choices at lunch and dinner, good straightforward food well cooked. For 1 dish, dessert and a pint of tap beer spent 28 nzd. Payment with foreign credit cards may not go through, prepare some cash (atm just in front). Worth a visit

Best home cooked meal in Russell

Feb 2019 • family

Very friendly club with excellent home cooked meals at very reasonable prices. The beer and wine are also the best prices in Russell. After 9 days in New Zealand we have finally found a restaurant that produces fresh good sized meals which are beautifully cooked by Alice & Nan. If you don't eat here at least once you will be paying tourist prices for very average meals in any of the restaurants in Russell.

Excellent meal

Sep 2018 • couples

We had an excellent dinner at Diggers. You have to sign in at the entrance if you are not a RSA member. We ordered a nice glass of wine and our food at the bar and had a lovely chat with the gentleman who served us. The ladies in the kitchen cooked us a beautiful meal, we both had the fish and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good value for money!
