“They brought us chips and salsa. We ordered the fajita cheese crisp with no peppers and enchilada de Monterrey. Food was good. Service very good. We did not understand where the Irish fit aside from a side of mashed potatoes (the Papa's Okellys ) but it was fun.”

“Good Home-cooked food like mom used to make!”

“I’m a big fan of Seraphim Bread and a regular customer. Get out and support them in their new location.”

“What a hidden gem. Found this place as the best pizza in SALINA. Called and ordered it Togo driving into town. The bartender had my order ready and had all the toppings possible. The bar patrons could see I wasn’t from the area and OMG they were so Nice. The pizza, wow. Thin crust and you can definitely taste the wood fired flavor. The homemade sausage was legit. A must stop in SALINA”

“On December 3rd about 12:30 during a busy lunch I came in with a group of 6 ladies and me being a manager of a restaurant before I can't help but notice things and on that note this experience was Awesome! Everybody was working hard and working as a team the entire restaurant was clean the floors were clean even the BOH floors in front of the fryers in prep area we're clean and when you have the the whole group of ladies noticing the cleanliness of the bathroom that's pretty impressive and this is besides the hot fresh ready great meals we received! I don't know who manages this place but they should be very proud of their crew they are fantastic!”

“I absolutely love Olive Garden, and this location did excellent hosting a large group of my friends and I for dinner.

You all are doing an excellent job!”

“Great food for the price!”

“Great food! Great drinks! Great atmosphere!”

“Steak was a little over cooked but still really good flavor. The super friendly staff offered to recook but we were tired and to hungry from our long travel to wait. The nacho fries were superb. Over all, for a hotel diner I do recommend. Maybe try one of those delicious looking build a burgers.”

“We eat at OC about every other week., but in the past two months service was slow, food was cold. We went back tonight, November 10, service was outstanding and we actually saw and talked to the manager tonight. We will now be back…”

“Four of us stopped at this restaurant today toward the end of a roadtrip. We experienced very courteous and attentive staff, good and plentiful food, and reasonable prices. The place appeared clean but, due to the architecture, the room with the Hibachi grills was somewhat noisy and there was a bit of an echo. Overall a pleasant experience and we would go back when in Salina.”

“I've enjoyed Hunt Bros. for over 20 years. The slices are a great after work snack and on a "we just want the whole thing" night, one phone call is all. Our local Marathon ladies make them less than a mile from our house !”

“Always quick in that busy drive through!! All other Pancho's we've found across the state have increased pricing. The Salina location is still very affordable for a large family.”

“If you want DELICIOUS healthy food and friendly service this is the place to eat! We absolutely love everything we’ve tried here. This is what we wish our home cooking could be. 🤩”

Only issue was the peach cobbler shake was more cobbler than peach. Too much cinnamon. Other than that, we loved it!”

“Great food! We went for the MonteCrisco special but it was canceled for the day last minute. But food and atmosphere was great!!

“Order from Big cheese often never disappoint best pizza in town!”

“What's not to love about Russell's!! Great Food, Great Service!! Thank you for being open on Easter!”

Keep up the amazing service.”

“went for lunch today and ordered the G-man to go. great service and food! the guy taking orders and making drinks was very polite and checked on all his customers there. The subs were definitely a step up from subway and have great names!”

“The flavors were great and everything was well cooked. It was a bit spicy for me, but that's my fault for ordering medium instead of mild. Price was fair, wait time was fairly short, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Overall, I would recommend this as a very solid place to grab a meal.”

“absolutely delicious will eat here again”

“wonderful food, great environment, friendly staff except 1.”

“I have always loved McAlisters! We used them for my daughter’s grad party this weekend! Staff was friendly, helpful, and helped with every request we had.

“very quick service and food is great!!!”

“I didn't have high expectations, but we were pleasantly surprised. The special of the day was chicken fried chicken, always a favorite. Jim's version wasn't bad. Nicely cooked, if a little gristly. The potatoes were decent, but the gravy was the winner. It had a subtle chicken flavor to it, almost like they used chicken seasoning instead of salt. That set it apart.

The building looks like it started as a drive-in restaurant of some sort, but it's been remodeled nicely. Now it has a cute down-home feel to it. The two women who were working were friendly.
There was a salad bar, but it wasn't part of the special so we didn't try it. It looked decent though, if small.

In all, we'll go back next time we're in the area.”

“The fresh juice, is the best around! The fresh con crema is amazing as well. This was my first time going but I will be a regular from now on.”

“I do recommend based on previous experiences! Today however, my açaí bowl is extremely watery versus the thick and creamy consistency it usually is. I typically add protein powder to my bowl and today it was just dumped on top instead of mixed into the açaí which I thought was odd… I definitely don’t want to eat straight powder. I called to ask if it being on top like that is normal and the person who answered the phone said yes. I’m wondering now if I’ve been uncharged for protein and not gotten it, or if it was mixed into the açaí like it is most other places. Hopefully this is just an off day and my next order will be better. 🙂”

“The best spot in Salina for pool, drinks, and games. For food there's a late night sandwich shop (Spiccoli's) just downstairs.”

“Great people, always super friendly! Best Snow Cones and flavors!”

“Alway friendly staff and laid back atmosphere.”

“Delicious food and usually pretty quick to get it served to you! Great lunch options, probably best in town... beats going to a fast food restaurant anyday!! Friendly service and relaxing atmosphere! Kid friendly too! Amber is a fantastic waitress as well!”

“Braum’s is always a reliable stop for good ice cream and decent food. The service is friendly and helpful, though it can be a bit slow at times. The store isn’t spotless, but it’s not dirty either, it’s understandable with how busy they usually are.

Overall, a solid spot to grab a treat or quick bite. I’ll definitely be coming back.”
