For years, downtown Salina has had a quiet gap in its weekday rhythm — Monday lunch. Restaurants closed. Options limited. Workers left reheating leftovers or making do with drive-thrus. But now, one local restaurant is stepping in with a clear solution.
Starting May 5th, Barolo Grille is launching Monday lunch service — dine-in and carryout — available on the first Monday of every month.
Each month will feature a rotating, limited lunch menu, bringing fresh variety, quick service, and dependable flavor to one of downtown’s most overlooked days.
The Monday menu that makes sense
Barolo isn’t overcomplicating things. The lunch lineup is tight, intentional, and designed to do three things really well: satisfy, move fast, and deliver quality.
Chicken Salad Wrap with Fries – A returning favorite. Fresh, reliable, and just hearty enough.
Pulled Pork with Raspberry Chipotle BBQ – The only BBQ item on any downtown lunch menu. Sweet heat meets smoked depth.
Strawberry Spinach Salad – Fresh and bright. Add chicken or shrimp if you want to power it up.
Full Sushi Menu – Yes, the entire sushi selection is back for Monday. No scaling back.
Soup and Salad Options – For those who like to keep it clean, simple, and sharp.
Carryout that’s done right
Did we mention it’s fast? This menu was built with carryout in mind. If your schedule keeps you in the office, this is your new lunch solution. Clean packaging. No delays. Just a good meal that respects your time.
"We're focusing on doing a few things very well,” the team says. “That’s what Monday needed — a dependable option that doesn’t feel like settling.”
A real downtown solution
Barolo Grille isn’t just serving food — they’re answering a need. Monday lunch in downtown Salina has been an afterthought for too long. Now, it’s a destination. Whether you’re ordering ahead or grabbing a table, you’ll know where to go when the week begins.
