I ordered their signature "pork tenderloin topped with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, sauce, all nestled in a bun. The tenderloin was the star with just the right amount of seasoning. The fresh toppings balanced the richness. The curly fries were a standout--golden, crispy, and lightly seasoned. The menu offers solid variety, including veggie and chicken options, which is great for groups with mixed preferences. Look forward to my next visit our waitress was friendly and constantly checked on us

I got the grilled ham and cheese sandwich and was happy as well. My fries were outstanding and my husband enjoyed his fried onion chips. The wait crew were always on the move. And best of all, this was the least expensive meal we have had on our trip so far. We were in town with about 5,000 other geocachers for GeoWoodstock, a game of hide and seek where people hide containers around the world and post coordinate locations for others to find and sign a logsheet. We bumped into fellow cachers eating here as well.

Just classic comfort food, and our server was so nice and sweet. Yoder Days was wonderful too! We grabbed jalapeño cheese bread, mild salsa, and pickled beets from the bake sale booth, and everything was SO good. Such a fun small-town tradition and a really special place.... with great food and friendly people!

None of my issues were with them, they were great. The interior was a bit dated and there was a slight musty smell when you came in. Not to mention that they share bathrooms with the gas station next door which did NOT smell great at all. They had a very extensive menu...almost too much. I honestly don't remember what my meal was called but it was shaved beef on toast with mashed potatoes and gravy all over everything. The mashed potatoes were definitely dehydrated prior and the best thing about it was the gravy which still wasn't that great. My husband got the cheesesteak and he said it was just ok. Not a horrible experience but not the best. I hope they treat their waitstaff well because that would be the only reason I returned!

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.
