🍷✨ Some dishes don’t just make it to the table… they make it through time.
At Carson’s Prime Steaks and Famous Barbecue in Chicago Streeterville, Deerfield North Shore, and Milwaukee Downtown/Fiserv our Shrimp DeJoghne is one of those rare, legendary creations that refused to fade into history. 🍤
A dish once found only in the warm glow of old supper clubs, where mahogany walls gleamed, w**e glasses clinked softly, and dinner felt like an occasion…
we kept it alive.
Because some flavors deserve forever.
Our Shrimp DeJoghne is indulgence in its purest form:
• Tender shrimp resting in decadent garlic-herb butter
• Lifted by a velvety, aromatic white w**e reduction
• Served with the quiet confidence of a dish that’s been loved for generations
Order it as the timeless appetizer or surrender to the full Dinner-Sized Entrée, complete with:
• A generous side dish — our Famous Au Gratin Potatoes steal the show every time
• Our homemade signature coleslaw, crisp, cool, and made fresh daily
And then…treat yourself.
Let your server pour you a classy, generous glass of w**e 🍷.
Lean back.
Let the lights soften.
Let the room settle.
And allow yourself to be transported for a moment to the way dining used to feel.
Rich.
Savory.
Unhurried.
Legendary.
Perfect alongside our classic Carson’s signatures:
🥩 Char grilled USDA Prime Steaks
🔥 Slow-Roasted Prime Rib
🍖 Award winning Competition Style Baby Back Ribs
🐖 Mediterranean Thick Cut Bone-In Pork Chop
🍗 BBQ Chicken Half
A dish from another era… preserved for you.
Available now at all three Carson’s locations.
