It ain't a bar, but it is really really good. If you are in downtown Lexington, and you want to eat, it can be a challenge to find a place to eat. If you want a burger, then you have 2 maybe 3 choices. Well Caros is my pick of the lot.
Most of you probably don't even know about it. Perhaps you saw as you stumbled from McCarthy's at 2 in the morning, but Caros isn't open, so you ultimately missed it. I admit it, I missed it too, and I work right across the street. But that doesn't matter, cause now you know.
When you go there, be prepare for a few thousand calories. Expect big burgers, expect big fries, expect big flavors. If you don't like meat, you'll have to settle for fries and slaw... but that still isn't bad.Caros has the best fries ever. They may appear to be plain ole' crinkle cut fries, but these fries have got magic dust. The fries have a special secret seasoning that is unique to Caros. I've had seasoned fries before, but Caros magic fry dust makes me fly away.
For sandwiches you won't be disappointed. The Bo'ski (shown in the above picture) is a two meal-er. It is 1/2 pound of meat on sour dough, a layer of fries, slaw, and just about every other fixin' you'd expect. The Hot Country Club is another fantastic sandwich... think club, but grilled, and smothered in cheese. The Boozer is a seasonal, but it has got me back 2 times. It's a burger, grilled onions, jack cheese, Heavenly heavenly bacon, lettuce, tom, and the finisher that sends this sandwich over the edge is a glob of beer cheese... yes, it is truly a feat of American artistry. It may be the best 3000 calories I've ever ingested.
Ultimately I recommend anything on the menu as long as it has bacon on it. Caros puts real bacon on its food. You'll understand the difference as soon as you take a bite. Real bacon is good...
Soooo... if you aren't headed there yet, you're a fool. For more info check their site Carosonupper.com

Well, if you aren't just the sweetest thing! :)
The “Caros Crew” strives to make your dining experience one to remember and apparently we succeeded with you!
You are correct, if you count calories, you should probably just walk right past our front door. One of our favorites sayings is “we don't do salads here!” But, we do put lettuce on most sandwiches and burgers so I guess you can say we do have semi salads! Lol And, as you mentioned, there's always the homemade slaw. Oh, forgot...we also put vegetables in our soups.
About those fries...our “Grill Man” Drew is responsible for that flavor! He is not one of those “eleven herbs and spice” type guys like the KFC Colonel. He's more like a “gazillion herbs and spices” man! Our customers call them “crack fries” cause you just can't get enough of them. :)
The Grill Man is also responsible for the “Boozer.” Ya just can't leave that man alone near a grill! He's always creating something new for us. We even blame him for the soup specials each day! Ya, just never know where his chopping, dicing, browning, etc. will end up but it's always in a soup kettle filled with flavor. BTW, you've just made his chest stick out a bit more in case you didn't know it. Now we have to work alongside him!!! lol
Again, we'd like to thank you for the vote of confidence. BTW, you can visit our blog at http://bestlittlejoint.wordpress.com to see what's happening at Caros.
We luv ya,
The Caros Crew
