What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network) featured Russian River Pub in Forestville, California, in the July 2007 episode "American Cookin'." The pub's own website, russianriverpub.com, states that Russian River Pub opened in 1972 and describes itself as a purveyor of classic American food and drink with indoor and outdoor seating. As checked on 2026-09-07, the site displayed 2026-dated content and listed current hours (Wednesday 11:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m., Thursday-Saturday 11:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., Sunday 11:00 a.m.-8:30 p.m.), an online ordering option, and a menu section, along with a page referencing the pub's Food Network appearance under an "In the News" heading. The site's continued 2026 activity and working order-ahead feature support that the business is still operating at its original River Road address.
