    Tournedos Oscar was not that good, with much smaller cuts of meat than we are accustomed to at Carvers.

    I ordered a filet mignon and it was tough. Not what I expected for the price I paid.

    If you’re over 80, and have one foot in the grave, you’ll love it. Lost your taste buds-good. How do you ruin a baked potato or mashed potatoes??? They do! It’s as old as it’s patrons, needs refurbished and the menu looked like they stole the from the Remington next door. We didn’t even eat the gruel. Waitress asked if we wanted dessert and we laughed with each other. Do you think it’s green jello? Waitress took so long to process the check, I put cash down on the table and we left. It was a great laugh though. We’ll never go back!

    Carver's food is always excellent! It was Father's Day yesterday, so it was very busy, but the servers were still smiling and doing their best to keep up!

    We always love Carver's for Father's Day and for my husband's birthday. He loves a good steak and Carver's does not disappoint. It is an older establishment and I feel the building could use an update. I realize that steakhouses have a reputation of being dark lit, leather seats, fireplace and mid-century vibes, but it doesn't keep up with the modern times. The steaks are juicy, large, and choices are wide. Great place for special occasions. Reservations are well organized. Service is good and staff are friendly and helpful. When it's busy, the service lags but it's to be expected. We will go back and we will continue to do so.
