    Don't be fool by the look of the restaurant. Read my review below The service The servers were quick and fast. They took your orders and friendly. The food I did not expect that much from this very basic looking restaurant, but the ribs were great. Unlike a lot of restaurant claimed they have the best ribs, this one does not yet they really deliver one of the best. The meat of the ribs were grilled and cooked in a perfect way. The meat were so tender. You will love it. It was not hard at all. The bean beef soup were also great. Surprise surprise the atmosphere Might not be one of the top design restaurant. It is very basic looking. More into home style diner in a village. the decoration is minimalist. Yet you will feel comfortable inside The location Quite far and they have a private parking space that are not too big or too small. Should not be a problem to park. Without car, will be a bit difficult to get here

    Huge value. I love the Hickory smoked pulled pork. It is as good as any I have ever had. It is off the beaten track but worth the trip. Excellent.

    This place serves really good barbecue, better than most places in NYC, and I kind of like their style better than Carson's in Chicago. I tried the pulled pork, some ribs, and pork steak. Yummy. For sides, I really enjoyed the slaw (non-mayo-based, which had sunflower seeds) and green beans. I'm usually picky about the green beans because most canned ones remind me of how my elementary school served them (canned and had weird smell). In this case, these beans didn't have that scent, and there were pieces of meat (probably to offset typical scent). Anyway, I highly recommend this place with slaw and green beans. Tried the potato salad, and it was good, but a little to heavy with what I ordered. I would definitely come here again. Btw, their grill is a contemporary one, and this place is very clean. Saw them unload racks and racks of ribs.

    When it comes to BBQ, Carver's does it pretty well. In fact, they have a set amount they produce each day. So if you stop by after the lunch rush, you might miss out. The Pork Ka-bob is absolutely delicious and won't cost you an arm and a leg. The selection of sauces is minimal, but still a good place for a quick bite.

    Best place to get barbecue in Alton. Recently went with a group and me and two others shared the meal for two. Comes with a little bit of all the meats and 4 sides. The ribs were delectable. Meat came cleanly off the rib. Not drenched in sauce, but there are three sauces to choose from on the table. All are very good. Original, sweet, and hot. Pulled pork was nice and meaty, not overly shredded, great flavor. Brat was tasty. Chicken kabob was a little dry. The king of the plate was easily the pork steak. I love pork steaks. It had sauce on it already. For sides we had two things of potato salad, beans, and cole slaw. The potato salad and beans were pretty standard, the slaw was vinegar based and actually a little too sweet for even me, it also was a little overloaded with sun flower seeds. The space is really nice inside and the waitress was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Jacki said loving the pulled pork sandwich is an understatement.

    Saw this little hole in the wall place while visiting my dad so we decided to stop in. Boy were we were in for a pleasant surprise! I couldn't decide if I wanted the ribs, brisket or pulled pork so the very friendly waitress suggested I do the try 3 sampler. I got a little bit of each meat and I'm so glad I did that because they all were delicious!! If I HAD to pick one I think of pilchards the pulled pork. Either way though, you won't be disappointed!

    We stopped in for lunch while visiting our home town Alton. In all the years of coming back for visit I have never been here. What a wonderful choice and special find! We love BBQ and were in heaven when we ate here. I had a rack of pork ribs and my wife had a pork steak sandwich. The ribs were cooked EXACTLY how I like and were very oversized containing plenty of meat. My server also knew to ask if I wanted them sauce or not. I like getting ribs plain because many places like this have more than one variety. Carvers offer two sauce one being sweet and the other sweet with a medium spice. The sides of baked beans and coleslaw were amazingly different but delicious. If you are in the area and love BBQ Carvers is the place to go around Alton.

    We were pleasantly surprised with our dinner tonight. This little mom and pop BBQ restaurant that has been around since 1999, totally hit it out of the ball park. It is located on a side street, the storefront is very plain and the dining room is as stated in another review, very minimalist. However, their ribs and side dishes are top notch. In fact, they are better then some of the popular BBQ joints in the big city of STL. I drove by after work, running a local errand before going home and saw on their marque, Rib Dinner for 2 $23. Sounded good to me, so after completing my errand I called home and suggested their deal for dinner. We agreed to take a chance and give Carver's a try. I already know I will be picking dinner up from here again, in the future. Our dinner included; a full rack of ribs, four individual sides and two dinner rolls. Both of us enjoyed the cole slaw which was in a light vinegar and oil dressing with sunflower seeds sprinkled on top. Great flavor, it was not neither to sweet or tart. Goldie Lock's would say, "it's just right". I enjoyed the the green beans, which were fresh and made with bacon. Enough said, we all know everything is better with bacon. My dinning partner loved his baked beans. They were in a rich flavorful sauce and they too had pieces of bacon. It was obvious the sides we choose are definitely made in house. Our ribs were the biggest surprise. At first I had my doubts, when I saw they placed them in a Styrofoam container. I thought they'd wrap the whole rack up in aluminum foil, so we could cut them up at home. To our delight when we lifted the lid on our container, it was full of individual ribs. They had already done the carving for us and each rib was full of pull off the bone tender meat. Their dry rub added enough flavor for me, so I did not need either of the sauces they provided. The DP, did use the sauces and totally preferred their house which is a spicy sweet. The service was what you'd expect at a mom & pop, small town restaurant. It was relaxed, casual and friendly. They say, good things come in small packages. Perhaps we can also say, good restaurants come in small towns. When: 28MAR14 Why: Dinner

    This restaurant was introduced to us by the local people. It was a rainy day, we came to Carver's to carry out some food for a party. The whole rack rib was only $17.99. I love them cut the rib for us. The meat was soft and nice. Light flavored, good for senior people. I love their BBQ sauce, both sweet and spicy are delicious. We also ordered 1 pound of beef brisket, $13.49. Soft and nice. Everyone likes it. And 3 quart sides, $7.75 each. The baked beans are amazing. I have to say that baked beans is not my thing. I never liked any baked beans before until this. This baked beans was sweet and soft. I really like this one. Not only me, the kids also love this baked beans. This potato salad was another thing that everyone likes. We'll definitely come back next time when we visit Alton.

    Great service and food in this family operated BBQ spot. 5 of us ate for about $70. The owner came out and talked with us. Don't miss this BBQ gem. The owner uses Mom's recipe for the sweet slaw and BBQ sauces. Put this on you gotta try list.

    I love the stuffed potato and salad add on!!! Get the pork or the beef brisket stuffed potato it will fill you up!! Great parking, great seating, nice ambience. I gave it 4 stars because sometimes when you go they are out of what you want like beef brisket has to be substituted for chicken or pork. Also the cream cheese containers change sometimes from Kraft squeeze tubes to a container of cream cheese. I prefer the ice cold tubes, myself!!

    Carver's is the best BBQ in the RiverBend area. We always get the Family pulled Pork. Feeds 4-5 of us with some left over for less than $35. The sauce is great too.

    Great BBQ. The spicy sauce has a good kick. I find the problem with a lot of St. Louis BBQ places is the sauce is always too damn sweet or just plain weak. These guys aren't afraid to do it right. Our sides were great too. My wife loved the home-style apple sauce. Takeout was very quick - just as fast as any fast food place. The dining area is extremely no frills. For all intensive purposes, this is a takeout place. Highly recommended.
