Carrabba’s Italian Grill

Everything about our dinner was delicious… the bread, the salad with house dressing, and the fettuccini alfredo… yum!!!

I really can’t say too many things other than it’s not a bad place for a quick bite. The food for me was not overly impressive and was a bit bland. I got the chicken alfredo never had it with peas in it and I am not a fan of peas. There were a lot of peas. I am not one for sending food back so I dealt with it. We got cocktails before hand and bar service was good. Table service however was a bit slow and we had to wait on drink refills. (y’all know i don’t like this). I will say stuffed mushrooms were pretty good. Doubt we will return. It is an average spot at best.

The wait on a Saturday night was about 20 min for a party of 5, not bad… The service was the main problem. The server rushed us. Then when I asked for a refill on chocolate milk for my daughter, she said we don’t do refills on that. I would have paid for it, but she walked away before I had a chance to say it. The bread was stale, the olive oil to dip it in was terrible. When they came to put grated cheese on our food the guy spilled it all over the table and never cleaned it up or said anything. More on the table than the plate! Then it was one of the girls birthday so we told he server. She said in a rude way, «all we do is a mini cannoli.» She walked away and then brought it over with barely a word. The pasta was too hard and it was very small portions.
All in all pretty unacceptable. Won’t be back.

We had 2 coupons for free entrees, they only honored one even though the terms were 1 coupon per check. They could have just given us 2 checks for each free entrees. Service was slow and our server wasn’t so friendly compared to our server at the Charleston branch. We felt like they treated us differently because we used a coupon. Overall, if you are looking for the best Carrabba’s in town, go to the one in Charleston. Better service and more friendly, accommodating staff.

As you may know from my other reviews, Carrabba’s is my «go-​to» chain restaurant. But lately, I am not that impressed. I’ve travel coast to coast and I stop in on a few of these locations… and I am often disappointed. At this particular location I chose car-​side pick up. The service was super awesome. The food a blah. But I’ll have a sit down next time and see if it makes a difference.

First of all the food is good. My problem is with the service. As I was removing my jacket to sit down there server, with dirty dishes in hand, asked «What do you want to drink». (I said I was not ready). So then when she came back and I told her my drink order she asked two times if we where ready to put our dinner order in. (I was not). Then when the ordering fiasco was over and we began eating the appetizer the soup and salad came out. And then three bites into my salad, and my guest not even half done with their soup. Out comes the entrees. I have never been rushed so much in my life. Did I go to McDonalds? She had the food boxed up check on the table and was telling me she could cork the wine to go, before we had finished the first glass of wine from said bottle.
I am guessing that most of this behavior has been taught to the server by management in order to get the most people through the doors as possible.
One of my guest said that next time we would have to control the food ourself by refusing to let them know what we wanted until we where ready. I have a better idea, I just won’t go back. I will go to a restaurant that understands what dining is.

It was my first time here, I just wish that there were more options for lunch. I loved how they bring you bread and oil with herbs, it was a great atmosphere and our server was great.

Heard about Carrabba’s for YEARS before I finally made it there. Originally I lived clear on the other side of town…& once when we happened to be in Henderson, I tried to stop in… but back then apparently they weren’t open for lunch!
Anyway, FINALLY the night came and we were going to get some yummy Italian food! I was stoked! Was treating some dear friends that were in town. Upon entering we were greeted enthusiastically because I happened to be wearing my Chicago Bears hat. & that was about the best part of our experience!
I brought my son (who’s a Fettucine Alfredo addict), the couple I previously mentioned, and myself. There were several FLIES buzzing around our booth & attempting to dive bomb into our food! From appetizers through main course & even our drinks! GROSS! & as I mentioned, my son loves Alfredo sauce. His pasta was super dry. Asked for more. It took forever to arrive (the rest of us were practically finished w/​our meals & letting the flies win by that point), & they only brought out a tiny bit of sauce on the plate. It was like a portion cup for dressing. My son just looked at me & we all agreed «never again».
Very underwhelming experience.

Came for dinner tonight and what a pleasant experience we had. Cody was our server and his service and professionalism was outstanding. I ordered the fettuccine weesy and my boyfriend got the lobster ravioli, both of which were delicious. My only complaint is our drink being mostly filled with ice, but honestly with how good the food is and how great our service was that is the least of our concerns. I will definitely be returning to this specific location!

Food was good and service and atmosphere were as well. We were there for a party so there was 15 of us roughly and the drinks and food came promptly which isn’t always the case with big groups. Apps were great had the meatballs and arncini rice balls, main course was good too me having the lasagna and my wife the lobster ravioli both really yummm! Sangria was tasty and it’s nice they have many gluten free options (not for us but it’s still nice they offer it) we be back!

Good service, great tasting appetizers and entrees. Dessert was also good. This came as a complete shock to me as I tend to stay away from the chain restaurants, but I would absolutely recommend them, and specifically this location because of their service and great quality.

Recently dined here for my Abuela’s 75^th Birthday! The customer service was GREAT — they put up with my crazy family and no one complained about my family either which was good because I could tell some people were getting annoyed with my grandma having our waiter take a billion photos of us hah the food was delicious! I would come back in a heartbeat if my family wanted to!

It was my first time here and it was a pleasant experience. Now I’m not sure if we beat the dinner rush or they have really fast service here! We got seated without a long wait. It was almost instant. The menu had some pretty tasty sounding dishes so it was kind of hard to pick. There was also a Monday special where I can get a 3-​course meal for only 12.99! But I just settled for the Baked Ravioli Parmesan.
The service was very friendly and fast. It was almost surprising that we got our salad and a few minutes later we got our entrée.
This was my first time here and I enjoyed it very well! I’m sure I’ll be back again and try their Chicken Bryan! I heard good things about that and in excited to try that next time.

This restaurant offers many different selections of foods for the family that can’t agree on what they want (e.g., seafood, pasta, steak). The menu offers both moderately priced and expensive menu items.
I had a glass of Coppola pinot noir with my dinner priced at $ 10.90 for a glass. This is a little pricey for the amount of the pour, but it went great with my meal. I had a fresh salad prior to my lasagne priced at $ 15.79. The lasagna was good. We were offered a couple refills of bread with their special herbed oil.
I had a pleasurable and relaxing meal two nights ago. Ask for Michael — he was an awesome and very knowledgeable server.

TIP: for exceptional customer service, ask to be seated with a waiter named Michael.
My dinner last night (see photo) was a delicious entrée called Cavatappi Martino-​Wood-​grilled chicken, sauteed mushrooms and sun-​dried tomatoes tossed with cavatappi corkscrew pasta in our tomato cream sauce topped with scallions and ricotta salata. It came w/​a side salad that was also very good!
The bread and olive oil dressing was fantastic!
Iced tea was average!
No room for dessert! Well, maybe there was some room, but it was getting late.
Nicely decorated restaurant with enjoyable Ratpack background music.
We’ll be back!

Wonderful soup and pasta!
I was thrilled to try their Spicy Sausage and Lentil soup. It was so yummy and so healthy too. The warm sliced bread was plentiful and Melanie, my waitress, brought Italian dipping sauce with it. She met my every need and my iced tea was never empty.
The seasonal entrée was Cavatappi Franco (spiral pasta). Ingredients off the menu: Cavatappi pasta with wood — grilled chicken, mushrooms, sun-​dried tomatoes, broccoli and Kalamata olives in garlic and olive oil topped with ricotta salt cheese $ 12.99
I can’t say enough good things about the entrée. If you’re a Kalamata olive fan then you’ll like how they blend in with the mushrooms but when you bite one you get that wonderful burst of flavor.
I wanted to try desert but had no room. I have enough leftover for lunch.
I’m coming back for sure!

Great service and delicious meal!
This location of Carrabba’s provides a great dining experience for all. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our waiter was over in a flash. He was over the top attentive for our entire meal. He had many many wonderful suggestions and opinions which helped us choose our meals. He brought out the complimentary bread with oil and vinegar for dipping.
I chose the Mahi Wulfe. This was a wonderful seafood dish. The mahi was lightly breaded topped with artichokes, sun-​dried tomatoes and lemon butter sauce. The combination of ingredients gave this fish a great flavor and would definitely order again. This also had the mashed potatoes on the side which were good but nothing too exciting. With the entrees, you can choose soup or salad. I went with the caesar salad. This had just enough dressing with a perfect blend of cheese and croutons. When he asked if I’d like more of the freshly grated parmesan, of course! I can’t say no to more cheese.
We truly had a wonderful dinner here. I’d come back again for sure!

I love vising Carrabba’s on amore Monday’s you get a 3 course meal for an affordable price. My husband and I have been here 3 times on Monday’s for their special and we are never disappointed. The server’s are super friendly and we had one 2 of the times we visited. She was very attentive and even remembered us and the conversation we had the time before about my husband not eating sweets and me not eating seafood. The food here is amazing the cook on my steak is always perfect once they did made my steak medium instead of med well and they chef brought it back out re-​fired and apologized for the mix up. Its a nice casual environment and every course does not disappoint. I can’t believe it took us 3 years to try this place it was truly our loss! It’s hard to find quality food and service and to add at an affordable price.

We have eaten here many times for dinner. This was the first time we came here for lunch. I decided to try the half sandwich, half salad, combination. I opted for the chicken Bryan sandwich. My wife had the meatball sandwich. Each came with a salad on the side. I had my salad with a creamy Parmesan dressing. That was really yummy. The half sandwich had two small pieces of the chicken Bryan and a lot of foo foo lettuce. The filling of the sandwich was really overwhelmed by the bread that the sandwich was on. My wife felt the same way about the meatball sandwich. Meh. Our server, Kailyn, was excellent.
At a cost of under $ 10 a head, it is certainly a reasonable value. However there are many other choices for lunch in this price range where the food is a little tastier. I will come back for dinner in the future, but not for a lunch.

I have always liked Carrabba’s and really have never had a bad meal or service. Went last night after receiving a «Amore Monday» email advertising 3 courses for $ 12.
Arrived around 5:00 and was seated immediately. The Amore Monday menu is a soup or salad, an entrée and either an app or dessert for each person (some other places make you share the app or dessert). The 3 courses are $ 12, $ 15 or $ 18 depending on your entrée. Of course their wonderful bread and olive oil are included as well.
Our server Eric was great. Very friendly and always checking on us making sure we had full drinks and were enjoying our food. I ended up ordering the calamari for my app. It said «small» portion on the menu but it was not small at all. It was a full dinner plate served with marinara. I also got the Caesar which was very good. Cold and lots of fresh cheese on top.
For the entrée I chose the Mahi Wulfe which is Mahi topped with artichokes, sun dried tomato and their lemon butter sauce. This was excellent, bordering on outstanding. It was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and moist inside. It is cooked on the oak grill which gave it great flavor. My plate was clean, I was very happy.
I have been going to Carrabbas for years both here and while living in Florida and always enjoy it. It will continue to be one our favorites.
