Let the Battle of the Taste Buds Begin! My husband and I frequent the Rocky Hill location since…read moreit's closer to home but the other day I stopped by the Bristol location, and left with a smile. I was welcomed with a compliment about my hair, and I was attended to right a way. The staff offered their recommendations and made accommodations when the large soup lids ran out. I ordered 2 large chicken soups, and a medium curry goat for my Jamaican husband. Followed by a friendly request from the staff to compare & rate the taste between Rocky Hill & Bristol. My husband enjoyed the meal & hesitantly said the Bristol flavors were more tasty. He smiled at the innocent tasting competition between his fellow "yard man", and he's looking forward to giving his review in person. PRO: Friendly staff, flavorful food (Deeper flavors than Rocky Hill), off street parking, and close to UConn Hospital. Also, they were collecting for the recent disaster relief following Hurricane Melissa, bless their hearts. CON: Beverage fridge was near empty. There were only 4 homemade lemonades available to choose. Interior could use more wall art like the Rocky Hill location.

Visiting Carson's Kitchen was a pretty different experience…read more The entrance door is shared with a hair salon, so when you walk in, be sure you go to the left, because if you go to the right, you'll be inside Carlton's Barber Shop. The interior of Carson's is about as small as any restaurant I have ever seen. It has no tables, and a scant six chairs for take-out customers waiting for their food. It has a menu board with one of the smallest printed fonts I have ever seen. Really, you had better polish up your glasses if you want to read it. The ceramic tile on the wall looks like something out of a psychedelic acid trip. A real hypnotizing kaleidoscope of reds and oranges and yellows and whites. I picked up a small order of sweet chili shrimp with rice and peas and vegetables, and a side order of the Tangy Golden BBQ Wings. They were both pretty darned good! The shrimp order gave me 9 good size shrimp in a sweet and spicy sauce. They had plenty of flavor and were very, very good. The rice and peas were cooked well - not dry at all, but I thought they were kind of bland. They definitely were in need of some more sauce. I was very surprised at how good the side of vegetables was. Usually this is nothing more than shredded cabbage, but Carson's version was loaded with peas, carrots, green beans, red peppers, corn, and cabbage. The wings were great !! Seven beauties in a golden barbecue sauce that packed quite a sneaky wallop. If only that rice was served with some of that wing sauce, I'd have been super happy. Bottom Line? Nineteen bucks for the great wings, excellent shrimp, very good vegetables, and so-so rice. That's a definite A-OK.
