We sat at the counter since there were open spots there. I got the famous fried chicken dinner with tator tots and my kid had a cheeseburger meal. The food took longer than I expected (~30-40 minutes) and not once during that time did the sever refill my coffee. It honestly felt like they were just trying to make it to closing time (1:30pm). When the food arrived, it was an ok portion for the price. My kid was happy with their cheeseburger and fries (hard to mess that up!). I ordered dark meat for my chicken and that is what came out, but they were pretty small, overcooked and the blandest fried chicken I've ever had. The tator tots were good though. It was an overall pretty mediocre experience and I'd highly recommend avoiding the "famous" chicken if you like stuff with flavor or feeling full.

Prices were more than reasonable, and they had room for our large party of 8 in the back. Counter service was polite and well staffed, and the food came out fast. Tons to choose from--burgers, sandwiches, even a fish basket. Great selection of sides, including pickle fries, which we ordered several baskets of. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. (Which is a feat considering the overall blandness we've discovered in our visits to KS.) Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! We'd for sure come back. Oh! I nearly forgot to mention their insane selection of milkshakes! Soooo good.

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.

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.
