| - Don't waste your time or money by going to 7th & Carson. During our meal we experienced nothing special or worth ever going back for. The prices averaged around $2.50/bite (too expensive) and then most dishes were very poorly executed (cooking technique was lacking).
ITEMS ORDERED:
The grilled peach and burrata salad was a huge miss (1 out of 10). The peaches were hard and bitter making the dish inedible. Uncooked butternut squash would've been an upgrade, it was that bad. The wings were okay (4 out of 10), nothing that's hardly cravable. The spice blend that's dusted on the wings tasted exactly like a Pork Butt rub I bought at Costco and put on my ribs that I smoke at home, literally, exactly like it. The smoked pork belly was the best dish we ordered still nothing special (5 out 10), 3 pieces of pork belly sitting on top of blue cheese and a pork chicharron; could've greatly benefited from some sweetness and acid to counter the richness and saltiness of the pork and blue cheese. Our bill total was $57.63 (w/o tip) for 3 pieces of pork belly, soggy fries, 4 wings doused in pork butt rub, and bitter hard peaches. That also included 2 diet cokes, 2 ginger beers and ZERO alcoholic drinks.
Other notes: one person in our party ordered the flat iron steak. I shit you not, there's more meat in a Big Mac than there was on her plate. When it was brought out I honestly thought the kitchen split the steak onto two plates. I'd be shocked it the serving size was over 4oz. Even more shocking was the $21 they charged for it.
7th & Carson - You're tenure will resemble that of a Pop-up if changes (prices, food quality, technique) aren't made soon . I don't see this place making it to or through the summer.
Glutton was way better than 7th & Carson and anyone wanting to try this place, please do yourself a favor and call/make a reservation at Carson's Kitchen. You're welcome!
2 Stars for good service and a mediocre pork belly dish.
