Carson's Ribs

Modern white and black decor. Clean and classy. Comfortable booths, bar and tables. Spot on service without being too stuffy or formal. We enjoyed a delicious, quality prime rib sandwich, DeJonges fresh shrimp and Mediterranean fresh shrimp. Tasty, quality proteins for each entree. Each entree is served with fresh homemade coleslaw and a diner's choice of side. Our sides were steamed broccoli, Double baked potato and house steak fries. Carson's is a consistent great lunch or dinner choice for any downtown activity.

This was my second time dining at the Milwaukee Carson's location, and I was somewhat disappointed with the experience. While I've always enjoyed the food, dining inside the restaurant hasn't been as positive.Here's why: during both visits, the dishes felt and looked dirty, which detracted from the overall experience.On Sunday at 2 PM, we were seated at a lovely booth by large windows, which was a great spot. However, after sitting for about 10 minutes, our waitress arrived to take our drink order. She returned approximately 15 minutes later to ask if we were ready to order, but she didn't provide any information about the menu or specials. We went ahead and ordered a few appetizers, not realizing there were specials since none were mentioned.When she finally brought the appetizers--over 30 minutes after we were seated--she asked if we were ready to order our entrées. At that point, we overheard her telling another table about the specials. I asked her if there were any, and she mentioned two appetizer specials, which we would have ordered had we known earlier. She also informed us that several main dishes, including the steak sandwich one of us planned to order, were sold out.While the food itself was good, the service and overall dining experience were disappointing. In the future, I'll stick to ordering takeout from this location and enjoy it at home instead.

Staff and atmosphere are great. They go out of their way to make everything warm and inviting. The cocktails are as you'd always hope - well poured and leave you feeling happy. The food is ok. Some things are better than other items. It's a mid level steak house food prep wise but the salads, steak fries and ribs are all pretty good. I was staying nearby for two weeks and ended up eating here 4/5 times and it was always worth the stop.

This place is AMAZING. Staff was knowledgeable and attentive. The food was excellent and quick. And the vibe is very nice! It sits right in the middle of a busy area so a lot of bars/events right around. I highly recommend setting a reservation (easy to do on their website!) and avoid any wait. The place was packed (Saturday night) but we were able to get seated right away with having a reservation. Great experience! It was the perfect date night spot

The Food was good. The ambience was great. Our waiter was good and in training. The martini drink was very good. I had the steak on a stick with vegetables. The ribs were very good & tender sauce great. The sides were delicious.The hostess/manager was very rude upon leaving. Not sure if I want to return to that location.

First Carson's had one of the best free liver pate I miss it soo much.. when I go I get the shrimp dejonge hope that spelling is ok and the shrimp Mediterranean They are worth every butter calorie

The food was quite exquisite I might say! We consisted of a large group and had a private room reserved.

We got take out and it was so good we went there two nights in a row. The chicken was great, as were the ribs. The au gratin potatoes were unbelievably good.

Disappointed in a Saturday carry-out. My daughter was in town for a concert and picked me up a famous Carson's Caesar salad for my birthday. I never skipped my Caesar salad when dining in downtown Chicago and Deerfield. I haven't lived in the Chicago area for about 5 years and have really missed that great bbq and Caesar. However, that salad was always served with delicious shaved parmesan. No one ever asked me if I wanted shaved or grated. Saturday's Caesar carry-out came to me looking very powdery, loaded with grated parmesan only, not one stitch of shaved parmesan. Huge disappointment. I don't ever remember Carson's offering an option between grated or shaved, I've been going there since 1979. It came perfectly with shaved for all those years!

We ate at the bar before a Bucks game. Bartender was really nice, food was good! Had a good time!
