Applebee's is one of the most famous restaurants here in Great Bend. I went a Sunday night, around…read more9.30 p.m. I am going to base my opinion on three criteria: service, quality and price of the food, and the environment. I am going to start with the environment because it's the first thing you notice when you walk in. The lights give you a warm welcome to the restaurant. The vibes that the restaurant spread change your mood. The environment stimulates you it does not matter if you are tired, angry or just stressed, all that goes away the moment you walk in. Also, Applebee's has a Karaoke night every Sunday, which is another highlight of its atmosphere. The food price is another feature of this place. They have affordable prices and the quantity of food you get is satisfactory. I got the Oriental Chicken Salad with Krispy chicken. It was a mix of flavors in my mouth. Without a doubt one of the best salads that I've ever had. As well, Applebee's has deals in some dishes, you can get two for 20,25 or 30 dollars. Also, you can have half-price appetizers every day past 9 p.m. on weekdays and past 10 p.m. on weekends. I tried the mozzarella sticks and believe me, they were exquisite, I loved the texture and the sauce goes perfect with them. The service I got was coherent with the fact that the restaurant was packed. The waiter took care of my order as soon as he could, and he apologized for the wait. Even though he was checking on me while I was waiting for my order I did not feel overwhelmed. Overall, Applebee's is a restaurant that you must try if you are in Great Bend. It has cheap prices, tasty food, and the environment makes you want to come back. Without a shadow of a doubt, I would recommend Applebee's.

I am basing this review over my experience with customer service, atmosphere, and food choices. My experience with the customer service at Handle Bar was great. The waitress was quick with bringing new drinks out and she kept checking to make sure everything was going good. The food came out within 15 minutes and the whole experience was fast. The atmosphere was a warm style. Darker orange color surrounds the wall covered in beer signs. For a bar and grill, they could use better and bigger tvs but the experience of a game wasn't compromised. The workers wear black and it keeps the place looking dark but with a warm color scheme making it feel like an enjoyable place to enjoy a great meal. The Menu at Handle Bar is a smaller menu. There is a choice of 10 main entrees that includes a choice of 2 sides and toast. They also have a large selection of 8 burgers and 13 sandwiches. Overall, i would recommend this restaurant to someone looking to have a good bar style meal or dink in the environment that is cool and home worthy.

My husband has not stopped raving about his pizza. I haven't had steak in so long because it's pricey where we live so I was excited to have one. The only recommendation I would have for the kids menu is that they double the portion of spaghetti and take away the side. Our server was excellent. It was a little loud when we got there but a kids baseball team was finishing up. After they left, it was quiet. Nice restaurant. Glad we checked it out during our trip.

The walls are a little dark inside so the ambience for lunch was more of dinner setting but still nice. Several people were in the restaurant as well as getting to go orders. Seemed like a pretty popular place. I am a sushi person and opted for that rather than other menu items. I ordered the spring rolls, dragon roll, and eel cucumber roll. The spring rolls were okay but they weren't my favorite choice and I wouldn't really get them again unless I just wanted that fried, crispy crunch. The dragon roll and the eel cucumber roll were nice. They were flavorful, well done, and the eel cucumber roll was crunchy as it should be. I would go back again to try more of their selection. Enjoy!

I had exactly one small piece of beef: not very good, one piece of shrimp, not bad, and huge pieces of chicken more like chicken strips that had to be cut up with fork and knife. I don't recommend this. You're not getting what they tell you you're not getting what you pay for. My husband ordered something with soba noodles as a side and his dish was also pretty poor. This is not the quality that we have come to know from this restaurant. Needless to say, we were very disappointed.

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.
