Thank you Carson’s for the great food, amazing hospitality and attention to detail! I put on my reservation that we were going to Carson’s in honor of my grandpa who has just recently passed. It was his favorite restaurant in Chicago and he had planned on visiting with his granddaughter but did not get the chance. The managers saw this note in my reservation and gave us the sweetest gift in his honor. Not only were we impressed with the attention to detail but the food amazing and very affordable considering the quality and atmosphere of the restaurant! Thank you for such a great memory we were able to share as a family!
This place has it all! Plus, at the Deerfield location, parking is a breeze. We got the full slab of ribs and the rib tips (pro tip: rib tips are not on the dine-in menu, but you can ask for them). Everything about this meal was perfect, with one small exception: the fries weren't hot, and they were too crispy. BUT the ribs were lip-smacking tender and delicious. The rib tips were out-of-this-world meaty and sweet. The slaw is amazing, and the au gratin potatoes are as good as ever. Be sure to start your meal with the cornbread. You don’t want to miss it! Thanks, Carsons!
I highly recommend having lunch or dinner here. It was our first visit since the location in Skokie closed. Our server Shpresa was very attentive and friendly. The BBQ Baby Back Ribs were cooked perfectly and were delicious. The Caesar salad and roasted Greek potatoes tasted great too. We are looking forward to coming here again soon.
We haven’t been to Carson’s since the eighties, during which time we ate there frequently. For Christmas Eve, I decided to order the rib dinner for four with an addition of the chopped liver. It all was delicious, and we will definitely be back. The ordering and pick-up was seamless, the heating instructions easy to follow. I also want to compliment the staff I saw for wearing masks, which represents responsible management.
Great food! Amazing drinks love the ambiance. We will definitely come back. Great staff Antonio helped with guidance on what to order for our large family.
I have been going to Carson’s all my life. However, I mostly carry out. When I decided to dine in the restaurant, I was so delighted by the entire experience. The food was delicious. The portions felt more generous than carry out. The highlight of the experience was our server, David. His timing to check on us and take our order was spot on. He was friendly and fun. Ask to sit in David’s section when you’re there.
Carson's has become a frequent dinner spot for us. We usually sit in the newly remodeled "north" bar (the one with the fireplace). It's bright & airy and near the exit. The food is always amazing (outstanding creamy garlic salad dressing, which is difficult to find!), delicious French onion soup, fabulous salads, and the exceptional drinks, thanks to the best bartender around - David C. Outstanding customer service, always attentive, consistently proactive, great sense of humor and makes the best hurricanes and French martinis around! All around good guy. Stop by for a drink with David and stay for dinner. You won't be disappointed.
Truly a great place to bring your family and friends! Every time we travel to the Chicago area we make sure a trip to Carson's is in our itinerary. The ribs are always grilled to perfection and the au gratin potatoes can't be beat. Do yourself and your taste buds a favor and plan an evening at Carson's.
The food is always good as are the drinks. But I know what I want. The garbage salad and their anchovy dressing are fantastic. I love the chopped liver. Not free like it was 30 years ago, what is??? Old fashions are wonderful. Steaks are good. I actually don’t like the ribs, but everyone has a style they like. We didn’t have a reservation so they sat us at the bar. They were very nice at trying to get us in. The place was empty but we were there right before it would be busy. The bartender was great. The food came before we had a chance to take a sip of the drink. Maybe we were rushed but we didn’t mind. The manager came over to see how we were doing. Very nice touch. You could tell others were regulars, as I would be if I lived close.
This is the best restaurant on the north shore and in Chicago! A true institution! If you have not have the opportunity to dine here, make a reservation Asap.
Our favorite thing is to come and sit in the dining area with David C and enjoy the fabulous food and cocktails ! He’s the best and makes the amazing food experience even more special!
My family and I had a wonder experience! We were a party of 9 had no issue ordering what so ever plus the staff was very helpful with any questions we had. Food came out at a good time and all was great! We will definitely be going back sooner rather than later
Another excellent meal at Carsons. The Ribs are great as usual, but the pork chop should not be missed. The highlight of our meal was our server, David, who took care of everyone and everything. We're definitely requesting to sit in his section next time we visit. Thank you!
Just stopped in when we arrived in town. Food was great the barbecue chicken was so tender melted in mouth. The brisket sandwich was delicious with the warm barbecue sauce on the side. I recommend you stop in and dine! Our waiter Joe gave excellent service. We will return.
The restaurant has been remodeled and NO more outdoor patio. Great idea so more tables and less waiting. The drive through has also been redesigned and works out perfect. Amazing ribs and pulled pork. The chopped liver pãtē is so delicious. They no longer give you rye bread with it. So had to buy it at $3 for 4 small slices.
My mother and I had a fantastic dinner here while on Christmas vacation. Kristina B was an absolutely amazing server and added to the wonderful experience! Thank you!
Our experience was amazing, once again Carson’s has done it!! Our server David is such a good time. Great attitude, superb recommendations and quick on his feet to make this a time we want to remember. Thanks David😊
