    I had to get a couple of the gluten free options and they were so good! Definitely will be back. Service is always good at Carson’s too.

    We love Carson’s, one of our favorite spots to eat at but this time it wasn’t so much. We waited over an hour for our food. Which they were busy so no big deal. Until tables that came 30-45mins after us were getting theirs. We finally got ours it was ice cold. Unfortunately because the steak was still pretty good in flavor

    We've been to Carson's several times - Sundays are always slammed, so I highly recommend having a reservation! Our meal was excellent - the food is always great, especially the mac and cheese! Their cocktails take the cake around Lexington, but bar service was a bit slow at the beginning of our visit. Get the old fashioned or a sangria - you won't regret it!
