    My son and I dined at Carson’s on Sunday for lunch. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, making us feel valued and welcome throughout the visit. The menu is impressively extensive. We started with the deep fried cinnamon biscuits, and they were so amazing that we packed 2 of them to bring home on our flight toChicago. I also ordered the watermelon jalapeño margarita mocktail, which tasted very fresh ( not too spicy…). We split a Caesar salad with shaved chicken, and the sweet chicken and waffles. The portions were plentiful, and both tasted delicious. From fresh, flavorful appetizers to the perfectly prepared main courses, each plate was a masterpiece of perfection. If you’re looking for a good restaurant with great food and service, choose Carson’s!

    OBC is always one of our favorites for brunch. Food is always great and we usually don’t go to the bar but we were early today and waited at the bar. Those guys were awesome. Funny and personable. Never been disappointed at the OBC Kitchen.
