Visited Carson Woodside Tavern and had a great experience. We ordered the Cajun chicken salad with jalapeño ranch dressing and the buffalo chicken wrap, and both were excellent. The fries were crispy, the French onion soup was delicious, and the drinks were very good. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back.

Wings, burgers and sandwiches are awesome. Bar can always use an extra hand very busy on Sundays. Bands are always great choices! The view is amazing! Usually opt to sit in bar because we are never sure what time we will arrive and wait is long. Absolutely love the atmosphere on our way up to our upstate destination.

Carson’s Woodside Tavern is a beautiful spot with a wide variety of comfort foods. We went for lunch on a late August afternoon when the weather was perfect and sat outside with a gorgeous view of Saratoga Lake and the mountains.
Service was friendly and efficient, and the menu offered plenty of pub favorites. While nothing in particular stood out food-wise, everything was tasty, reasonably priced, and the setting really made the experience memorable.
The atmosphere is relaxed, with outdoor seating and even Adirondack chairs if you just want to sit back and enjoy the view. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I’d definitely return again.

Came from Myrtle Beach. This restaurant/bar is family-friendly. Opted for the food vendor on the patio as the wait inside was hours long. Lovely setting with Saratoga Lake in the background. Isaac at the outside bar was excellent, considering the patio was packed. The Accents are a great band. So much fun!

We have visited Carson’s a few times now. The atmosphere is warm, the service is great and the food has been consistently flavorful and cooked perfectly! The bartender was great as well when we stopped for a nightcap! Definitely added this place to our regular rotation!

I started my meal with a steaming bowl of French onion soup. Its rich, savory broth was infused with sweet caramelized onions and topped with a perfectly melted layer of Gruyère cheese, creating a delightful, gooey contrast. The warmth of the soup enveloped me in comfort, and each spoonful delivered deep, complex flavors that danced on my palate.
For the main course, I enjoyed a beautifully grilled salmon fillet, expertly cooked to perfection, with a crispy yet tender exterior that gave way to a moist, flaky interior. It was elegantly presented on the plate, accompanied by a decadent roasted red pepper cream sauce that added a luscious creaminess and a hint of smokiness. On the side, vibrant sautéed spinach, cooked just enough to retain its bright green color and slight crunch, provided a burst of freshness. Completing the dish was wholesome brown rice pilaf, fluffy and nutty, perfectly seasoned to complement the salmon’s and the sauce’s richness—the combination of flavors and textures made for a truly memorable dining experience.

We went with office buddies to see the Art-N-Shawna Trio. The band was great – lots of upbeat music and excellent musicianship. Carson’s has a very down-to-earth atmosphere where friends and families can enjoy themselves. But it’s a great place for hanging out with buds at the bar, too. The staff was terrific very friendly with lots of smiles. Service was impeccable. We were catered to! Just all-round nice folks. I loved my blackened chicken wrap, and hubby truly enjoyed his fish and chips. We can’t wait to go back!

First time & Loved it! Great menu, with a lot of different ways to go choice wise. Started off with fried mozzarella w/malba sauce and also tried the sweet chili wings, which were both on point. I had the Steve’O hot sandwich for the main course, which had turkey bacon & green apple, yes I said it…green apple on a hot sandwich and it hit. Didn’t know what to expect and it was a wow for me. Excited to get back when I’m in town and check out the rest of the menu. Absolutely scrumptious.

We arrived here for a quick late lunch around 1:30 pm, but it took some time for the waitress to seat us, despite our lunch hour nearing its end. Another ten minutes passed before we could place our order. Our food finally arrived at 2:10 pm, as shown in the picture I took. This seems to be the typical pace of service in this area. We opted for the turkey sandwich with sweet potato fries, which tasted delicious but was larger than expected. Once again, we ended up sharing sandwiches. The dry rub chicken wings were flavorful but too dry for my preference, coated in Cajun seasoning.
