We weren't sure what to expect of this little place in the middle of nowhere (aka Yoder, KS), but…read moreafter checking out the nearby shops, it called to our group. 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.

But all the chairs were in stacks against the wall and we had to get our own chairs and put them next to the table. The specials list was old and torn. The server who helped us seemed shocked that we were there at all... Had almost no customer service skills. The pizza tasted like it came from an easy bake oven cooked by a lightbulb. Cracker-like crust that was not as good as something you'd get at a Casey's. Plastic plates and styrofoam cups for our drinks. Outdoor seating is a picnic table in the parking lot of a busy street. This is not a place to go if you want good ambience, good pizza, or good service.

I was told, "Oh, it should be out in just a few minutes." Another 10 minutes passed before my pizza finally came out. When it did, the quality was absolutely terrible. The pizza looked and tasted like something you'd expect from a concession stand, not a sit-down pizza place. Poor preparation, low quality, and clearly rushed despite the long wait. If you're going to make customers wait nearly an hour, the food should at least be worth it. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing from start to finish, both in service and food quality.
