Carson's Ribs Prime Steaks & Famous Barbecue Chicago

"Carson’s has made a home near Navy Pier, inside a dimly lit space along Illinois Street, just before the tourist attraction’s entrance. While there’s a variety of restaurants at the pier, Carson’s provides an escape from the tourist madness with ribs and surprisingly good brisket. This is the kind of situation without a dedicated children’s menu where grown-ups should just order a combo plate and share. Food tastes better off your plate anyway." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

"This steakhouse is offering curbside pickup by calling (312) 280-9200 or by ordering online through their site. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"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
