    The burger was super good
    David R.

    When in Kansas, this is the place to be specially on Tuesday nights. A great crowd, a really fun karaoke DJ, good food and great drinks!

    Q burger with tots

    It's been over 20 years since I've been to the Q, but the burger is the same. Bigger building, cleaner bathrooms and no more $2.50 32 oz draws, but the burger is the same. It completely took me back to remembering my days at FHSU in the 90's. I will say that this is the BEST burger in Kansas. I can't wait to get back and have another.

    The Golden Q is a Hays staple and I swear by it. I hadn't been back to town in years so when I made my return I had to stop in for a Q Burger. Color me shocked. Gone was the old cigarette smoke-filled and alcohol-fueled hazy look of the Golden Q of yesteryear and in its place is a semi-recently remodeled and expanded Golden Q... one that is now CLEAN, smoke free and includes a couple of back rooms, tons of tvs and a back patio. You can still drink your choice of alcohol (it's encouraged,) you can still play pool if you want and most importantly, you can still enjoy a Q Burger (or your burger of choice,) but you don't have to feel bad about bringing some underage members of the family during the afternoon to watch the game of your choice. I love the new open look and man, I still love those Q Burgers. I can't wait to come back.

    Cowboy burger, hangover burger grilled cheese burger and cheese steak - all excellent! Happy hour specials! Happy.

    The best "hangover" burger with egg, hashbrown, bacon, and cheese :)

    College bar. Stale buns and frozen patties. Lots of tv's so the game is always on. Onion rings are the only redemption on the menu.

    We had gone here for dinner. It was right next-door to the Avid we stayed at. Our waitress was…read moretraining a new girl so we got twice the service. Friendly and helpful. Large dining with a bar with everything. Also outdoor dining but didn't see any umbrellas so we sat inside. I got the Apple, walnut salad with chicken also blue cheese and walnuts with a creamy herb dressing and it had a little spicy kick to it..Hubby got spaghetti pie -thin spaghetti Alfredo sauce, Italian cheeses, baked in a small loaf pan and topped with cheese and marinara sauce. It was bubbling hot when it came out. I got to eat the last couple of bites I think I will try to make this it was really good.

    Stopped here to have a lunch meal before a large dinner was planned in the evening. We were greeted…read moreand seated immediately. The hostess was super customer service oriented and the server was also very much so as well. We saw that they had lunch specials for $9.99 and also Oktoberfest specials on beer: $4 pints & $5 tall steins. We ordered: Cheesy Sticks Starters, 2 Old Chicago Chopped Salads, 1 Oktoberfest Beer, and 1 Heineken 0% Alcohol Beer. Everything came out within a good amount if time: about 7 mins for the starter, and 10 mins after that for the salads. The cheesy bread was pretty good, hot and flavorful. It came with a marinara dipping sauce. The salads were tiny and served in small bowls. They definitely were not worth $10 each, but maybe $3 each, as they were side salad size, not lunch salad size. We had excellent customer service here so I kept it at 3 stars. The food quality and portion sizes was a bit off.

    Gella's Diner is an absolute gem in Hays…read more From the moment you walk in, the beautiful décor sets the tone--warm, stylish, and way more inviting than you'd ever expect from a brewery‑diner combo. The service matches the atmosphere perfectly: friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help you navigate their creative menu. The food here is where things really take off. The steak & blue cheese salad was outstanding--fresh, bold, and packed with flavor. The ahi tuna poke nachos were another knockout, the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you leave. And if you're a burger person, this place is dangerous in the best way. Their burgers are consistently amazing: juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Of course, you can't come to Gella's without enjoying their great beer, brewed right on site. Every pint feels like it was crafted to pair perfectly with the food. If you're in Hays, Gella's is a must‑visit. Creative dishes, great beer, beautiful space, and service that makes you feel right at home. An easy five stars.

    Normally don't leave reviews unless the experience was super awful but damn…read more. Got my salad and took 5 minutes to get a fork to eat it.. Nbd wasn't stressed at that point because the bartender was super busy. I work in food service I get that.. Then the rest of the food came out and we were never checked on again for the next 20 minutes while we ate. Would have loved to bring up the fact that this chicken wing was completely RAW.. put it out by the card just waiting for the bartender to notice us/the chicken wing and she never did so we just paid and left. Hoping we don't get sick. The rest of the wings were cooked we just so happened to bust into to this one last.. Again I get it if you're absolutely slammed but just felt like we were getting completely ignored for no reason. We were polite so not sure what the deal was.

    I'll be honest: Russell, Kansas, was not on my mental map of places to eat well. But fate (and…read moreYelp) intervened. Suddenly we were pushing open the door to Waudby's entering, notably, through the bar side, which felt charmingly unpretentious in a you-wouldn't-get-this-in-Manhattan sort of way. The space splits cleanly between lively bar energy and a quieter, separate dining room, which I deeply appreciated after hours on the road and approximately twelve internal monologues. Then, the food. Genuinely outstanding. I ordered the Philly, fully expecting road-trip decent, and instead received something delightful, indulgent, and as good as versions I've had in Pennsylvania neighborhoods where people argue loudly over sandwiches. But the true sleeper hit? The cornballs. Please, I beg you, do not pass on them. They are crispy, nostalgic, and perfect. The kind of globs of fried bliss you'll still be thinking about once you're home pretending to only eat salads. Waudby's is proof excellent food exists far beyond city zips, and I would absolutely return. If I find myself in Russell again, this is a mandatory stop. The waitress and servers were absolute sweeties. My friend adds: the homemade ranch dressing was so good, you could almost drink it.

    What a great place to hang out. This is a local spot with street parking and a relaxed atmosphere…read more The decor reminds me of an Irish pub. They have lots of TV's to watch sports.

    Amazing hand pattied bacon cheese burger and hand cut fries! Found this place while traveling…read morethrough. Wish we had this place at home!

    Hello fellow yelpers!…read more Let me start by saying yes I am a local but If you're reading this you likely want somewhere to eat In russell so that sort of makes you a local too. If just for tonight. Ok let's address the elephant in the room. There are no reviews for this place however the former establishment in this location still has reviews that are active and have it show up first so no one scrolls down to this. So yes I've posted this review in both locations. So with that in mind. We will start with service. This place has a few of my favorite folks working here and they are all focused on making sure you have a good time and enjoy your visit. If there is room at the bar go ahead and belly up! We're friendly and the bar tenders are multi talented (food and drinks). If not or if you have a large group the tables are just fine too the waitstaff out there is great too. Soda is self service from the fountain with as many refills as you care to get. If something a little stronger strikes your fancy they have 5-6 taps with solid selections (avalanche, flight, michelob ultra, coots light etc). They also have a full bar with great mixed drinks if that's more you're speed. Now for the food. I typically gravitate towards the specials so I lay them out here. Monday: tacos! Believe it or not these are the best tacos in town. They make a fossil taco (similar to a double decker) in beef or chicken that is great! Or a smothered burrito that is also an excellent choice. Tuesday: my favorite! Wing night! No boneless junk wings here. These are the biggest juiciest wings in 3 counties. I cannot get enough! They have an array of sauces that will please anyone. If the wings aren't enough they also have 1.50 cans of your favorite beer. Wednesday: ok here's our first pizza night! Mediums are on special (7 or 8$ don't remember which) any way you want them. If you can't find a pizza you like here that's a you problem. I personally dig the firebox pizza. And a $1.75 draft to wash it all down. Thursday: varies so here we will talk About the rest menu in general. Salads, sandwiches, soups, pastas, oh an amazing appetizers (see more on this on Sunday). The special for Thursday varies but 2.50 well drinks are a staple. Friday: pizza take 2! 13$ large any way you want it. And $3.25 big drafts to finish the week of proper. Saturday: 9.99 double cheeseburgers! I find it remiss that I have yet to mention the burgers they are moist/flavorful and there are enough varieties to sate any burger lover. 12$ domestic buckets and Sometimes if your really lucky they have Karaoke. Sunday: funday! 2 for 10 appetizers. Tater kegs, rooster tails, fried mushrooms, egg rolls, mozzarella sticks, fried green beans mozzarella sticks! All awesome. The special rotates a bit but gizzards, lamb fires, pork tenderloin etc have made an appearance. Ok now for a plug for the waitstaff. Tracy, Sarah, Denise, Melissa and Mackayla all work very hard to make sure your drinks are full and your order is right. Stop in and say hello. It's a great place. Best in town. I have no affiliation with this location other than eating here way to often. I don't think about yelp very often when I home but after a recent trip I glanced through the local reviews and couldn't let it go without getting my review on the record.
