I've been vacationing on Hutchinson Island for years. Â How I missed Carsons until this Summer is unknown to me. Â What a great find. Â Went on a Tuesday night which is Irish night. Â They had run out of shepherd's pie unfortunately but the jambalaya was very good. Â The food and service were great and the atmosphere even better. Â I'll be back.
Review Source:Yup - agree with many of the other reviews. Â If you'e looking for a relaxed, friendly pub - this is the best option in the area.
But here's the good part, it's not a smokey joint filled with old guys. Â This place is clean, nicely decorated, and frequented by a good crowd, including plenty of young folks.
Bartenders are professional and low-key. Â
Food is well prepared and delicious. Â Wings are nicely done. Â Sandwiches great. Â One time I even got the corned beef and cabbage special - solid.
They always put the games on, and they put the volume on, which is nice.
Oh, and the Guinness is fantastic. Â Some people don't realize that Guinness can be done right, or done wrong. Â Carson's does it right.
Since landing in Florida I have been craving a really good burger - and I've found the perfect place! Â Just pure burger wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked, good cheese, and the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Â My partner in crime had the Chicken Caesar Salad and just about melted! Â The food and service were both so great that we went back a few nights later. Â Same experience, except that this time I had their version of the Philly Steak and was just as happy. Â And oh, did I mention that their Sweet Potato Fries are the best I've ever had?
The drinks were flavorful and not watered down and the bartender was willing to try a new recipe that I found in an app on my phone. Â Can't wait to go back again!
I live in NC have a place on Hutchinson Island. Went to Carson's for dinner last week. I always take people there. The service was horrible. For a place of this caliber waiting for 1:45 to get our dinners got to a point of laughing for the four of us. Â I am always a 20% plus tipper. Not this night. The meals were week. Not as good as the times I've been there in the past. The only good part of our experience was the garlic parmesan wings as an app. The wings were supposed to be half price if a bowl, or NFL game was on. I told the waitress that there was a bowl game on one of there tv's, she said that there weren't any on. When I showed her the tv it was on there happened to be a commercial on. When we finally got our food they cranked up the volume on there speakers for another bowl game. My wife said to give it up. I did. The whole experience was just a big bummer. Told a local friend the next day about the service and food. They said they don't go there anymore, because they've gone down hill. Last words: Before and after being served, no apology.
Review Source:I love this place! Its a local tavern with an intimate vibe. Great for small business lunches, a weekday evening dinner, or late night drinks. Friendly servers and bartenders.
I think I like it so much because its understated. No annoying radio commercials (they don't need to advertise) and you come in expecting typical bar food, and its soooo much better. They also have daily lunch and dinner specials created each day by their innovative chef.
People seem to love the French Dip when its on the specials, and the blackened dolphin (mahi) sandwiches and wraps. They also have great salads and made-exactly-to-order burgers. Everything I've eaten there has exceeded my expectations!
This place is a must-try... it just may turn out to be your new go-to place. :)
This place was fantastic! For starters I could not resist the shrimp n cheese cappys...huge gulf shrimp dipped in cheese,wrapped in a jalapeno, battered and deep fried served with ranch sauce. Phenomenal! You can get 6 for 11 bucks.
Hubby n I shared a special...jerk chicken with chutney and 2 sides. We chose a Caesar salad and fresh veggies. The chicken wasn't jerk (tasted grilled with some cajun seasoning) and the topping was more of a fruit compote rather than chutney, but hey were from Miami so are a little more critical of jerk n chutney :0) The fresh veggie was carrots with a bit of a sweet taste and they were yum! Caesar salad was good.
We also shared a pub mac n cheese for 5 bucks. This was delicious. It is made with spiral noodles, diced tomatoes, and cheddar cheese with port wine. Definitely not your Kraft Krapperoni n cheese ;)
If your anywhere near here check it out. Next time we will try their burgers and this fondue-looking goodness!!!
I liked this place, it was a cool place to chill out late at night but I wasn't in love with it or anything. If I was a big sports watcher or something maybe it would be a good place to come and watch a game and drink a beer. But I don't really enjoy either of those things when I go out, so maybe the sports bar appeal is lost on me. I did, however, like their cheesy bread appetizer and the 90's music they had going on, so three stars for that!
Review Source:Whenever I go home to visit the family, this is go to stop for me. Fairly traditional Irish pub with all the fixings. Beautiful hardwood bar stocked with some of the best Irish beers (Guinness, Smithwicks, and Harps) and some very nice single malt scotches and whiskey. The atmosphere is very quaint, with enough televisions to watch the game, but small enough to make it feel welcoming.
The food is another story altogether. It seems the kitchen knows how to pair food with beer, because each dish on the menu should just tell you what beer to get. Weather it's the whiskey wings or the Jersey style pork roll sandwich with fried egg, this is bar food at its finest.
