Welcome Carson’s Food and Drink welcomes you to enjoy new and exciting chef-driven recipes, paired with Prohibition Style Cocktails, hand selected wines, craft beers, Kentucky bourbons and great scotch. It’s our pleasure to serve you in our casual, yet refined atmosphere.
From our barn doors of Dixiana Farm, reclaimed horse fencing of Sierra Farm, to our fine Kentucky bourbons that rest on years of history with shelves from Calumet Farm, we invite you to enjoy some of Kentucky’s history. Visit our patio and see Maker’s Mark history proudly displayed on a wall made from reclaimed wood from the distillery. Enjoy our beautiful murals: The Bu alo Trace mural was painted similarly to an old family portrait that hangs above the fireplace, with bright colors and countless hours of detail. The Woodford Reserve mural was made to look as if it had been painted years ago on the side of an old building, fading as the years pass. Finally, our mural of Stonestreet Thouroughbred Farm, featuring Rachel Alexandra, brings Kentucky and California together with Kendall Jackson and Stonestreet wines. We thank Mike Martinez, local artist, for his beautiful work.
Under our foundation is our family Bible. My grandfather gave his Bible to my father and my father to me, and I passed it to my son, Carson. The Bible, along with a dedication letter to the city of Lexington and to everyone who enters Carson’s, is folded and placed between the pages of this old torn leather covered Bible.
Coming up with the name of our restaurant was easy; I wanted the name to reflect our dedication to excellence, our kindness to others, and our commitment to you; our guests and employees. I only had to look to my son Carson who embodies all of these things and so much more. We’re glad you are here. Mark Fichtner Carson’s Dad Founder & Owner
