"A few years ago, Carson’s left its longtime River North home for a new space near Navy Pier. While Chicago’s barbecue game as a whole has gotten strong since Carson’s was founded in 1977, the baby back ribs still provide quality nostalgia. True Chicagoans can hear the restaurant’s commercial jingle in their head while order a rib dinner with cole slaw and au gratin. If folks don’t act too jaded about regional barbecue, they just may enjoy their dinner." - Jeffy Mai
