Checked out the prices at the closest wing joint. That plus a burger would be quite a chunk of change! Hmm... time to Yelp it up! I'm glad I did, because I found Carson's. It's in a strip mall that doesn't necessarily see a lot of drive by traffic, and because it points away from the main road, there is no road sign to spot it by. If you're familiar with the west side, think of the strip mall by Big Lots that also has Square Donuts. The space is very small, and highly decorated. Literally! The highlight for me was the vintage phone booth that Superman would have loved. The kid was positive there were at least a hundred pigs to spot. She may have been right! For dinner I had the pulled pork and mac and cheese. Kid had the burger and fries. The pulled pork was PHENOMENAL. Great portion, nice and meaty, and the sauce was excellent. They offered a bottle of regular and a bottle of hot. I wasn't brave enough to try the hot. The kid gave the burger a thumbs up, and I'll vouch for the fries. The mac and cheese was .... not good. The flavor wasn't great and it was definitely watery. I mentioned it kindly when we were asked how things were. The lady took it in stride and offered to replace it, but I declined. The sandwich was so big, that turned out to be plenty! In the end, we saved a nice chunk of change versus going to a big chain place, and the food was definitely better, if you don't count the mac and cheese. I hope I just got them on an off night. I love a good homemade mac and cheese, and this .... I just don't have words. Go for the meat. Go for the fries. Go for the ambiance. At least give them a try. Great family business serving great family food. Super casual. Oh - for first timers - go to the counter, order, and sit. This is the second place I've been where you don't quite know what to do when you walk in.

Onion Rings: 10/10 -- i would come back just for these!!! the crisp was immaculate and the batter…read morewas so good the onion stayed in tact with each bite. the house sauce was a creamy aoili-like mix which was super yummy too. Buffalo Chicken: 6/10 -- my sister got this and rated it a 6 (because there are no 7s on my scale). for $15+ and no side of fries this was kind of a scam sandwich lol #recessionindicator Sweet Lou's: 6/10 -- heavy on the sweet i was a fool i looooove bbq but their special "q sauce" was a bit like molasses rather than classic bbq. the patty, onion ring, and bacon were perfect but i literally could not taste them without scraping off the sticky sauce. again, $15+ and no side i feel like the flavor wasn't enough for me to recommend this to anyone. Tender & Fries: 6/10 -- what in the walmart brand frozen curly fries without salt nonsense on a plate was this... they got us LOOOOL... great value??? YEAH hard pass!!!! I was visiting my sister and she recommended this place because she had heard about it from fellow IU students. My thoughts: come for the IU memorabilia, and ambience, eat an order of onion rings (maybe sip a beer) while you watch a game and leave! The food was mediocre at best and wayyy overpriced.

Since they had stacks on stacks of them, I take it back to swap it out for one that, ya know, actually lights. The kid behind the counter tried to make me feel like a complete dumba$$. He takes the lighter and after trying a few times gets it to work, and just looks at me like I'm asking him for a kidney or something. I explain that it may work once in a while but most the time it doesn't. He proceeds to show me how to "work" the lighter "correctly" as if it's rocket science then has the stones to try to get me to buy butane. This goes on for minutes while I'm late to work; finally I just say, "so you're not gonna let me exchange it for a working one then??" His response, "no, no it work!!" No, it don't work, buddy. And ya just lost a customer over a $10 lighter.

The chicken was tender, the breading was crisp and tasty, the honey gochujang sauce was to die for, and the toppings just brought it all together. Seriously. Get it! Super casual atmosphere. Very friendly. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back!

I might not come back to this location unless I'm camping out here again as I live over an hour away but I will probably go back to their other location which is closer to home

Very aesthetically pleasing and cute spot for brunch. Our food was pretty mediocre and way too salty, plus for a place that's billed as a steakhouse, they claimed they did not have any steak sauce for the table. I'm not sure I believe that. My Nashville hot chicken sandwich was nothing like Nashville hot chicken. It wasn't bad, but the sauce wasn't hot and completely missed the mark on the correct flavor for that style of chicken. We had a great server, just overall this place isn't really anything exciting so I definitely don't think we'll be back, especially with all the different cuisines that B-town has to offer.
