Use an infinite while loop with another menu option to quit:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

while :
do
        echo " welcome to the menu bar"

        echo " [a] restart server1.com"
        echo " [b] restart server2.com"
        echo " [c] restart server3.com"
        echo " [q] quit"

        echo -n "please select:"

        read input

        case $input in
        a) cd /home/user1/ && kill-1.sh;;
        b) cd /home/user2/ && kill-2.sh;;
        c) cd /home/user2/ && kill-3.sh;;
        q) exit 1;;
        esac
done
