    We always enjoy our time at Carson’s. The food was amazing and we celebrated my birthday with our kids. The manager and server were amazing and treated us like family. It’s the only restaurant I’ll go out to in a snow storm.

    My boyfriend and I went here for a steak dinner. I did the blackened ribeye and he did the cowboy cut. We ordered too many sides, and they were all so good, the Brussels sprouts in particular. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful.

    My sister and I decided to have dinner here last minute and I quickly made a reservation on Open Table. The Lexingtonian salad, bread, sweet tea & water with crushed ice is always a plus before the main dishes. Kendal from California and her assistant were a pleasure, professional, and took excellent care of us. The food was amazing as well. We enjoyed fillets, baked potatoes, and blackened creole shrimp.

    We have visited Carson's many times. In fact we only live about half a mile from the new location at Andover, and although it's very nice we still prefer the downtown location. It just seems more intimate. The service was great and our server Hanna couldn't have been nicer and or have been any more helpful.

    Wonderful meal in Lexington! The southern chicken entree was delicious—I got a side of carrots and Brussels sprouts and both were flavorful and well-cooked. My son got the bolognese and loved it. Strong wine list, too!
