A couple of my friends have been raving about this place; so my buddy and I decided to give it a try today. Ugh! Never again! The place is small and loud. Initially, we were seated at a high top table with strangers. I didn't want my neighbors to hear our conversation; so we asked to move. No problem said the hostess. We struggled to find something to order off the menu. Tried the bacon jam since it has gotten rave reviews. It was okay--not something to write home about. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich. Hated the spread on the sandwich and not impressed with the chicken. Enjoyed the tater tots. My friend ordered the beef stroganoff. Neither one of us finished our meal and we both declined to have any of it boxed up. $50.00 not well spent for today's lunch. Carson Kitchen is busy; so I doubt they will be missing our business in the future. It's a hip place, but I'd rather be well fed and square.
