After being in town with family and fellow teammates, for a Jiu Jitsu tournament. We decided after our match to celebrate together over good food and conversation; and Carson Kitchen was just the spot! We arrived in the later part of the evening for a dinner for 6, we were quickly seated shortly after. The mood inside was nice and dim, while the atmosphere was bustling and very lively and social. After our waitress gave us the menus we promptly looked over all of the choices, and decided to go with things we could share and all enjoy together. Collectively we decided on the Grilled Oysters, Veal Meatballs, Rainbow Cauliflower, Black Rice & Oxtail Risotto, Baked Mac & Cheese, Beet Tartare Toast, and the Baramundi. Everything was absolutely delicious and we left not even with enough room for dessert! Our server and service was great as well, and I definitely look forward to coming back next time I'm in town. read more

Came here again and it was AWESOME again! Such a great place to get off the strip and enjoy 5 star food where you can actually park for free or for a few bucks. The chicken skins with smoked honey... Unbelievable! The tempura beans... FREAKING DELICIOUS! The Devil's Eggs... OMG! We had the cocoa steak, clam chowder and drinks too, but those shareable plates are to die for! You could literally just order all of them to share with your friends and you'll be a very happy customer. My only complaint is that I have to drive to Vegas to eat here... it really is a hidden gem. read more

Phenomenal food!! It's a sharing type restaurant instead of individual ordering which is always fun because you get to try a few things! We got the deviled eggs, chicken thighs, pork belly, ox-tail, short-rib flat bread and black rice risotto, all INCREDIBLE! To finish it off we got the glazed donut bread pudding which was absolutely delicious. Service was pretty good, and the ambiance is fun and feels very "foodie". Highly recommend! read more

The restaurant itself is not that big, but cozy and it has a backyard with a stove, and the home-style food and friendly atmosphere made us very satisfied. The waitress, Ms. J, was especially friendly and treated us kindly and politely, even though we were from overseas. I felt that America is still grate country!! read more

Carson Kitchen has been one of our favorite stops since moving to vegas! The Bacon Jam alone is worth a stop, simply a MUST try. Their drinks were great! The Mac and Cheese was delicious. the grilled oysters were good but I'd skip them next time. read more

I was excited to try Carson Kitchen, but I left disappointed. Service was almost nonexistent and food was mediocre. We ordered the bacon Jam, deviled eggs, grilled oysters, killer shrimp, pork belly, short rib steak, black rice and oxtail risotto, and the beet tartare toast. I would NOT recommend ordering the pork belly. When I think of pork belly, I imagine tender and full flavor. However, the meat was overcooked, bland, and dry. Another dish I would NOT recommend is the Killer Shrimp. They are little shrimp bits deep fried with a similar sauce of Chinese takeout. Some dishes I would recommend trying would be the Deviled Eggs and black rice & oxtail risotto. Luckily, the deviled eggs tasted tasted full of egg rather than just cream. The black rice & oxtail risotto was actually delicious, very simple with a good amount of richness. I highly recommend getting the "The Magarian," as a alcoholic drink. It is very refreshing! The rest of the dishes were mediocre. I tried to enjoy every dish, but the service left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I found this place based off Yelp reviews and made a same-day reservation online for a Saturday night. Even though I had a reservation, they sat us at a bar in the dining area. Not only were we at a bar instead of a table, we were right next to a back door that kept being opened by staff about every 10-15 seconds, making the cool 50° air rush in every time. We eventually asked to be moved elsewhere and they said no tables were available. They did eventually find a spot for us at the bar on the other side of the building that was no longer in the dining area. This was a much more casual area than we wanted, it was at a liquor bar with sports on the TV right next to us. If someone makes a reservation for dinner, they should be seated at an actual table and not sitting on barstools side by side with their date unless this was clearly noted on the reservation details; the bar should be reserved for walk ins or people just there for drinks. Despite the rough start, the food was excellent. Everything is tapas style and you are meant to order a few different plates to share. We started with the short rib flatbread. The smoked Gouda had such a nice contrast with the pickled red onion and tasted great together. We also got the black rice & oxtail risotto and the wild boar tacos. All the flavors were so unique and delicious! The wild boar tacos with the cranberry chutney might have been our favorite. I would come back to try more of their tapas next time I'm in Vegas, but would hopefully get an actual table next time. read more

Great restaurant very conveniently within walking distance of Old Vegas strip. Food is straight forward and tasty. Service was exceptional.

8/2023.... I'm super picky with customer service first , food and atmosphere and One of my favorite restaurants in las vegas hands down and the chef Cory here is no joke ! with his dishes for his customers and it reminds me of my hometown chicago where that city doesn't play with their food either very unique dishes and they change their menu every few months best classy place u can sit indoors and outdoors and I love their white sangria and their white alabama sauce chicken thighs and their watermelon feta cheese salad is a great appetizer...

Amazing place. Industrial in design. Delicious food- great drinks. We visited a few months ago- can't remember the choices .... but Yelp keeps asking for a review and I can't pass this up-- because we so enjoyed our time here. I know they change their drink menu regularly- otherwise I would try to find what I drank (because it was tasty). Don't miss this place. So worth the visit. read more

Definitely a cute spot for downtown right next to the doughnut shop. We ordered the bacon jam, I didn't taste much bacon and it had some cheese in the jam (not enough for 3 ppl in my opinion). It was not my favorite. Killer shrimp (if you like fried shrimp) was 5/5. Cooked perfect with the right amount of spice. Short rib, and cauliflower dish were amazing! Chicken thighs were my least favorite. I didn't like the flavoring. Tres leches for dessert and the doughnut bread pudding were AMAZING. All in all I would come back to try other options. read more

What a hidden gem. We have chicken, short rib steak and baked Mac and cheese and it was SOOOO GOOD! Our server Brooke was super kind and went above and beyond to help us read more

Dude.... This place blew my mind. Thanks Sarah for the great service and the food was second to none. Recommend Bacon Jam and chicken thigh white bbq dish. Best I have had of each. read more

Food is phenomenal, fun and delicious. Amazing quality and service. Would highly recommend again and again!

We arrived at about 5:45 on a Thursday and found a parking spot right outside, but you do have to pay for parking. We were seated right away at the chef's table with no reservation. I couldn't find them on OpenTable, so maybe they don't take reservations. We love sitting at a chef's table so it was perfect. Angel was our server and she was great. She called us by name, made recommendations, and made sure our water was always full. I'm a stickler for that. I ordered the magarian drink which was a refreshing cucumber cocktail. It would be good for a summer day. All the food was delicious, but I think the Brussels Sprout Caesar was my favorite. It was light and I think would make a perfect lunch all by itself. We love a beet salad and this was no exception. The mac & cheese was so creamy and delicious. The veal meatballs were good, but probably my least favorite of the four things we ordered. I was so full after dinner that I probably wouldn't have gotten dessert, but the glazed doughnut bread pudding called our names. OMG....delish! One thing we both noticed was that all of the employees seem to genuinely be having a good time and enjoy working there. My only small improvement area is to maybe offer clean plates between a few of the courses. read more

Yummy goodness and yummy sauce you have to eat it to make a delicious decision in life sometimes

So extremely delicious! I had high expectations for the restaurant after reading reviews, and this place definitely lived up to the hype. We went on a date night and ate during their last seating shortly before the restaurant closed. Service was great, but they were out of a few things already. We tried the pork belly, which I would hands-down get again. We also got the cauliflower, which was amazing! We tried the squid ink risotto, and it was uber rich and honestly we had a hard time finishing it. Normally that's a good thing but on this occasion, it was just a little much. Cocktails were so good, definitely could've tried their entire cocktail menu. I'd come back and recommend this place to anyone in the Fremont district. read more

Food was good and not the normal fare you'd expect from a bar. The waitress was super friendly and explained everything to us, including pointing us in the direction of great drink choices. It's a fun place to hang out with friends. read more

The legend still lives on Chef Kerry Simon has left a legacy of great food and rock n roll team members. The menu is very diverse and darn delicious....

Wow what a small gem of a downtown restaurant. Unique food options such as fried chicken skins, deviled Reges with caviar, green beans, beet tartare, oxtail risotto, fries chicken thighs with Alabama white sauce and for desert glazed doughnut bread pudding with Carmel sauce. That alone is worth the trip our servers were fantastic accommodating and cheerful. Only negative is main door is not wheel chair accessible and no signage to guide a wheel chair around back. Next time in town it's my first choice. read more

Went with a small group, and we were sat at our reservation time. The food was a disappointment. Most items are small and overpriced for their portions. Which is odd because they claim to feed you "family style" but the portions are way too small for sharing past 2 people. Asked the server what the meat was in the "rustic pate" listed on the Country Cuban sandwich, and she said "maybe veal, I don't know." Should've been warning enough not to order it but we did anyway. Tasted like a bland ground turkey patty with way too much breadcrumbs in the mixture. The bread was greasy for some reason too. Spicy tots were meh. The deviled eggs were too salty. Our friends did say they enjoyed their Sunday Chicken sandwiches. Our waitress said she couldn't do separate checks, then said they can take payment of up to 4 cards, but only if the bill is split evenly. Not a deal breaker...but they weren't busy, and we asked before we ordered. Overall, we were disappointed because it had such great reviews. read more

So it's been a while since I've eaten here, and I don't think I ever reviewed the place. Went again and had a very enjoyable meal. Deviled eggs - a hit with all 4 of us. I highly recommend this. Veal meatballs - I don't eat veal but the 2 people who did said it was good, not great. Fried chicken skin - really good. The dipping sauce was FANTASTIC! I got my husband to try chicken skin and he not only tried it, but liked it. Guys, that's huge! Fried chicken thighs - very good. Butter burger - my husband's choice, which I took a bite of. Very good. It exceeded his expectations. Secret Sunday chicken sandwich - the person who got this really enjoyed it. Banoffee pie - delicious! Glazed donut bread pudding - a must!! SOOO good! The sauce is amazing. I would say the two things you absolutely should try here are the deviled eggs and glazed donut bread pudding. Place is small, which I like. Decor hip. Service great. I can't let so much time go by before we go again. read more

Carson Kitchen - Deviled Eggs - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Just an overall disappointment, the family style, it's referring to the single woman with a baby. The noise level made it almost impossible to hear the other end of the table. Two of our party ordered the turkey burgers, one was just dry the other was black as coal. My dinner was the best thing on the table, it was delicious! The Cuban with pate', wonderful! It was delicious, but not enough to entice me to go back. The staff, were nice but nothing out of the ordinary, they didn't add enough to encourage us to revisit this expensive restaurant. read more

gyro tacos were bitter, tempura green beans were extremely salty, and flatbread was mediocre. I actually had to take the breading off the green beans to even tolerate eating them without drinking a glass of water each time. save yourself a trip and dine elsewhere read more

AMAZING FOOD, SERVICE, AND EXPERIENCE! A must see when you are in Las Vegas! We had a work party there and everyone said their praises...

Came here for brunch on a Sunday. Sat at the counter so you can watch the kitchen work. We tried everything people raved about, overall it was a decent meal but just OK. Deviled eggs were good but not anything exceptional. I feel that the cold chunks of bacon detracted from the soft creamy egg. Better if they used thinner pieces of bacon so that it's more crispy rather than chewy. Bacon jam with baked havarti was also ok. Too sweet and salty, there was also salt on the bread. Spicy shrimp and grits was a very solid dish. Our favorite dish of the meal was the donut French toast. Soft and warm inside, perfectly crispy outside. Great with either dipping sauces! Also, my cocktail was basically some sparkling wine with a splash of peach juice, kind of sad looking and tasting. read more

Over the moon with this restaurant! I chose to come here for an intimidate dinner to celebrate my elopement with family. Our server was so sweet and very attentive.

Okay so I appreciate the ambiance and the idea of unique foods but overall I was a little underwhelmed. The service was good but not great or consistent. It took about 15 minutes for them to take our order. When they were around they were friendly, but they were hit or miss. The bacon jam was our favorite but they didn't give enough bread or ask if we wanted more. The oysters were really good. The chicken skins were not necessary. The beet had potential and would have been better in greens but I felt like it needed more goat cheese to balance it out. The Sloppy Joe was yummy as were the tots that came with it. I highly recommend getting this or a burger as a friend got a burger and said it was great too. Overall food was well made and fresh but just not that great. read more

We visited Carson Kitchen for the first time on Saturday, May 29th at 12:15 for a party of two (with a reservation). We were seated at the kitchen counter, which was just awesome to be right there enjoying the kitchen experience. All of the employees were awesome and friendly. The host/food runner/everything was awesome. All of the staff, top notch. However, the food is what made the experience the best. The majority of the plates are meant to be shared, and this is great -- so you can try more of what they have to offer. The two of us shared the following: Crispy Chicken Skins with smoked honey - 7/10 Tempura Green Beans with Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese - 10/10 - OMG Amazing Veal Meatballs with Sherry Foie Gras Cream - 12/10 - WOW! Jerk Turkey Burger - 10/10 - The flavors were super stunning. We enjoyed everything we had, and we can't wait to try additional dishes in the near future. read more

Very friendly staff, the food was good! It is more of a tapas bar than a traditional restaurant but still super filling! The lamb tacos were okay- 2/5 Risotto- 5/5 so delicious! Devil's egg- 4/5 Clam Chowder- 5/5 super creamy- love it! read more

So much has changed with Covid-19 and our typical restaurants were no longer. So after a Yelp search, we made a reservation at Carson's Kitchen for dinner while visiting Vegas.  Popular spot - make sure you get there at your time; not earlier.  It's an interesting concept; not like a restaurant I've been to before (I don't think...). As your food comes out/finished being prepared, they bring it to your table. There is no time for the freshly made food to sit under a heat lamp and I love Carson's Kitchen for that. The food is piping hot and the service is impeccable.   The concept is almost like small plates/sharable items. But every single thing we ordered was fabulous.  We ordered 3 social plates (Tempura green beans with pepper cream cheese, Bacon jam with toasted baguettes, chicken skin) and an entree (Chicken Riggies). This was enough food for 3-4 people; not 2. But oh my goodness....so good and to be honest, I'm glad we ordered it; we got to try amazing amazing food.  My favorite was the Tempura green beans with pepper cream cheese. Super good, tempura was crispy, beans were not wilty, flavor pairing was perfect. Second fave - bacon jam. I would have said this wasn't my 'jam.' (See what I did there...;)) It definitely was my jam. The baguettes were even amazing! The bacon jam was hot, sizzley out of the oven with melted havarti on top. For dessert, we ordered bourbon brownie with bacon ice cream and candied bacon on top. Hold the phone. So different; really good. Okay...so the bourbon was in the icing....and I'm not a bourbon fan but my partner in crime is. But do you remember as a kid eating those chocolates that had the booze inside? That is totally one the ganash-like bourbon icing tasted like. Rich. The brownie offset the icing's rich flavor. The ice cream while it sounds weird was really good. It's like that sweet/salty thing....think like a saltier butter pecan with bits of bacon. It was good. Try it. Think outside the box and you won't be disappointed with this one. read more

Some of the best food and great shareable set up. I really like that they bring out the food as it's ready so the whole time we had a steady flow of food coming to the table. The killer shrimp was the perfect amount of spicy but the pork belly and mac and cheese stole the show! I would love to come back many times over just for the Mac and cheese. We sat inside but it sounds like the out door area is even better. read more

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Had the Devil's eggs, short rib flatbread, and cauliflower. The Devil's eggs were good but the pancetta and caviar got lost in the taste of the eggs so didn't seem that different from plain deviled eggs. The balsamic on the flatbread seemed overpowering a bit but was still tasty. The cauliflower was the best out of the three. Staff were friendly and the place was very loud as it was pretty packed inside. read more

Long, some might venture to say too long, on my list of restaurants to visit, we finally arrived at its doorsteps on a recent Thursday night finding it quite busy and, might I say, noisy. No reservations are accepted though our hostess found us an unoccupied table in a shade under 2 minutes. We decided to get our motors runnin' while looking for adventure by starting the meal with an appetizer of bacon jam and brie accompanied by toasted baguette rounds. The only problem was the wait, and wait you must, for the bacon jam to cool so you will not ignite your palate. Tic, toc, tic, toc, toc, tic. It is time to scoop out a sizeable portion, smear heavily on the baguette and savor. Repeat again and again until every delicious morsel has been consumed. Our Brussels sprouts Caesar salad was likely healthier though registering far lower on the flavor scale so it won't be receiving an invite to join us on next visit. Lastly, both my wife and I each ordered the sea bass entree with chili oil and topped by an interesting cauliflower tabbouleh that proved to be quite enjoyable. read more
