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.

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.

Ambiance was a little dated however floor and tables were clean. Seated immediately They have an…read moreextensive menu but my husband and I decided on the buffet. Salad bar was adequate however the flies around the food really turned me off. For hot food they had fried chicken which was well cooked and crunchy but missing flavor. Sweet chili chicken pieces very tasty a little on the spicy, pasta dish ( did not try) , fried rice and mashed potatoes. Dessert they had a jello dish and grapes in a sauce which were pretty good. Coffee or tea was included with the meal. Went back up to the buffet for chicken and they were out. I asked the waitress and told me it will be coming out in about 10 minutes.
