We shared the breakfast casserole and full order of biscuits and gravy. $10, plus tax and tip. I admit to being a tad snobbish about sausage gravy. I liked Petunia's. It had a nice sausage flavor, it wasn't just thickened milk. The breakfast casserole was REALLY tasty. Loaded with flavorful meats and veggies. I've heard a number of people compliment their lunch options. We will definitely go back and explore the menu. We are fortunate in Anthony to have several good local restaurants. Petunia's is a GREAT addition to the list!

Carolyn's Essenhaus is a true gem on the Kansas prairie. Located just southwest of Salina along…read moreState Highway 61, it's well worth a stop at almost any time of day. They're open from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, Thursday, and Friday, and until 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Saturday. They're closed on Sundays. After a long day on the road traveling from Las Cruces, New Mexico, to Salina, Kansas, we arrived around 6:00 p.m. on a Monday evening. We were more than ready for a break. We had found Carolyn's Essenhaus on Yelp, and from the photos and reviews, it looked like just the kind of place we were hoping to find. Inside, the restaurant was much larger than we expected. The dining room was filled with local artwork, charming Kansas memorabilia, comfortable tables and booths, and a classic salad bar prominently displayed in the center. Table service was friendly, warm, and welcoming--like enjoying dinner in your grandmother's kitchen. My wife ordered the chopped steak topped with cheese and grilled onions, served with green beans and sweet potato fries. I chose one of the local favorites, essentially a hearty patty melt featuring a grilled burger, grilled onions, and a thick slice of grilled ham. Both entrées were excellent, but the real star of the meal was the salad bar--especially if you appreciate an old-fashioned, homemade selection. It instantly reminded me of family potlucks with all my aunts and uncles. There was macaroni salad, cottage cheese, potato salad, broccoli raisin salad, a sweet and creamy chopped cucumber salad, and plenty of other homemade favorites. It was so good that I went back for a second small plate and happily told our server to charge me for the extra trip. To finish the meal, we couldn't resist taking two slices of their homemade coconut cream pie to go. It was every bit as delicious as the rest of the meal. Before heading out, we picked up a few of their homemade cookies from the front counter, paid what we thought was a very reasonable bill, and continued our journey with full stomachs and smiles. If your travels ever take you near Arlington, Kansas, do yourself a favor and make time for Carolyn's Essenhaus. It's the kind of place that reminds you why small-town restaurants are often the most memorable stops on any road trip.

It is different than it used to be. Now it has two pieces of bread with meat in between and gravy on top of all that. Hard to eat without making a mess. The bread, the potatoes and the gravy we're all excellent. The Meat had been sliced and left in open air until it was dried out somewhat. The meat also had a lot of fat, big pieces of fat. The flavor was OK though. My wife's chicken salad had lettuce that was not that fresh. The chicken looked like it came straight from the food service truck. Not that great.
