Waudby’s Sports Bar and Grill in downtown Russell hosted a visit from America’s Best Restaurants on Monday.
America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants, brought its ABR Roadshow to the restaurant on July 31. Popular dishes were highlighted and an extensive on-camera interview with owners Shanda and Brent Mooney about the restaurant’s special place in the community was recorded. The episode will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date.
Shanda said the interview and filming Monday went very well.
Restaurants featured on the ABR Roadshow are found through customer nominations or by a restaurant applying to be featured.
America’s Best Restaurants host Theo Williams really enjoyed the atmosphere and food said Shanda.
The building that houses Waudby’s was built in 1885 and 1886 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Mooneys have owned it since 2009. It has been a post office, hardware store and pool hall, this last due to demand from area oil workers looking for fun on their off time after oil was discovered in Russell in 1923.
The restaurant’s finished episode premiere date will be announced on their Facebook page and will be featured on America’s Best Restaurants’ website at https://americasbestrestaurants.com/rests/kansas/waudbys-sports-bar.
Open daily, Waudby’s Sports Bar and Grill is located at 719 North Main Street in Russell. Telephone is 785-483-2532. For more information visit www.waudbyssportsbar.com.
