    Ordered prime rib medium-rare and it came out rare-raw. Also so much fat and gristle that 10 oz was more like 6-8 oz. French onion soup was very good. Staff were pleasant and easy to deal with.

    We had an amazing experience at Carvers Steak and Chops for my son’s graduation dinner! The food was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The ambience was warm, welcoming, and just right for a special celebration. Everything from the service to the setting made the evening perfect. Highly recommend!

    Tuesday is a great night to visit Carvers! Several dinner specials to enjoy and 16$ bottles of wine! We love the old school atmosphere and love that a dinner includes sides, they aren’t an extra charge!
