What is "Carson's Back Porch"?
Exposed brick walls, the soft glow of chandeliers, flickering copper lanterns, and plush tufted booths create the feeling of a "Charleston porch" brought indoors.
A brand-new restaurant from the team at Carson’s Food & Drink, the Back Porch continues their legacy of award-winning hospitality paired with elevated Kentucky cuisine. Following the successful opening of their second location in Andover, Carson’s sought to expand the back side of the original Main St. space with a more refined up-scale concept and a sense of breezy sophistication. The Back Porch features several of Carson’s favorites while introducing a fresh menu designed to delight both new and returning guests alike.
No matter the season, the Back Porch always has perfect weather.
