| - Carson Kitchen gave me excellent food and service.
I found Carson Kitchen highly rated on Yelp and was staying a short walk away from the D hotel. It was quite busy on a weeknight and I think I would not have gotten in if I weren't alone and willing to sit at the bar.
That turned out to be the best place to be, as the service and hospitality were outstanding. After I insisted, the bartender selected and made me one of their menu cocktails, which was quite good and not something I was used to.
We got to talking, along with another patron and Carson Kitchen regular. Expressing skepticism that their turkey burger could be edible, as it was, a turkey burger, a heated exchange ensued and a challenge was issued. They got me to agree to order a Turkey burger, claiming it has won competitions with serious beef burgers around town.
First came the deviled eggs which, with caviar and bacon, were very good and went quickly. At this point we were all friends at the bar and the eggs were shared - it was that kind of vibe.
The Turkey Burger: Firstly, the tots. Mmmmmm.... Oh how good - perfect tater tots with ketchup. Nice color and crunch. 10/10
The burger was very good and I'm glad I ordered it. It was not a good alternative to a beef burger (sorry) but can stand on its own a separate type of food entirely. If you strongly desire a great beef burger - stay away! If you just want something delicious, then seriously consider it. The complexity of flavors was very well done and the overall result had me clean my plate.
What a pleasure to sit at the bar with Felicia and her loyal patrons for a delicious meal. Also thanks for the samples, barman with nice hair.
Be warned they close early for Vegas and they will run out of popular dishes, so go early.
