Carson's Food & Drink - On Main

This was probably one of the best restaurants we have been doing a long time. We were actually visiting a Distillery across the street and they recommended that we checked them out and it was absolutely amazing. My girlfriend got a soft shell crab BLT with pork belly mac and cheese and I got a bearnaise burger with seasoned fries and they were both phenomenal. For an appetizer we got the spicy shrimp that was served with some of the best bread and for dessert was a banana bread pudding which was probably the best I've ever had. We will definitely be back next time we are on vacation. They were super busy so we sat at the bar and we were taken care of even better than if we would have been at a table. I didn't catch her name because we were kinda tipsy but the blonde bartender was adorable and super friendly.

We were staying overnight in Lexington on a Monday. We got reservations and the place was packed! Our table wasn't ready, so we headed to the bar for a drink. The atmosphere is really nice, but nothing overally too fancy. We were seated and Dalton was our server. Easy to talk to and he walked us through the menu. We started off with the Salmon Bruschetta appetizer, which was really good! For our entrees we ordered the Creole Filet Mignon and the Chicken & Shrimp Creole. Both were prepared very well and the taste was fantastic! We went all out and ordered the carrot cake as well--really good!! Dalton did a great job!! This was the best meal of our vacation!! (We were in Louisville/Lexington/Covington).

First time in Lexington for work and a coworker's friend recommended this place for dinner and it did not disappoint! The food was excellent and the service was attentive and friendly. We ate at the bar as we didn't have reservations. I recommend reservations! The atmosphere was quaint and cozy. I had the two filets, substituted the asparagus for the teriyaki green beans and it all tasted so GOOD! The Blueberry Lemon Drop was divine. If you're ever in Lexington KY I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic brunch and the service was a 10/10! We got the deep fried cinnamon biscuits, the bread pudding French toast, and the chicken & waffle with gravy. Everything was really well prepared and tasted great, and our server Tylyn was so wonderful. Will definitely be back to try dinner service!

I have been here a handful of times and the food is truly amazing. The ribs are the best I have ever had, and i have had then 4-5 times (consistent every time) The fries with béarnaise sauce are delicious but i wouldn’t waste any extra $$ on adding meat because the amount of meat they give is not worth any up charge.(if you get them to go they give you a laughable sized ramekin with a bite of meat Ive had the ny strip which is amazing and cooked perfectly ….just overpriced. But in my opinion no steak is worth more that $35-40 so thats just me. I have also tried their pasta entree which was very flavorful, no complaints at all there. I got a side of broccoli with smoked gouda which was really good. I also got a slice of chocolate cake with was flavorful but incredibly dry. Idk if it was just that one time but definitely wouldn't try it again. Overall good restaurant. I wouldn’t waste money on buying their expensive items, but going in to get an appetizer of ribs and fries is totally worth it.
