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 menu offers solid variety, including veggie and chicken options, which is great for groups with mixed preferences.

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.

They have some covered seating and outdoor areas to eat. The outdoor seating was nice and clean, but a bit loud with all the truck traffic going through the area. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. I got the double dippy with tots and their dippy sauce which is a delicious fry sauce. For my girlfriend, I got their dippy bowl which is basically a double smash burger chopped up over lettuce and the other burger toppings. The food was made to order, and even with a few people in front of me was ready within a very reasonable time. The burger and burger bowl were excellent. The tots were good, and I really liked their house made fry sauce. A very worthwhile stop if you find yourself in this part of Kansas!
