Carrabba’s Italian Grill

I always like Carrabba’s. Proof that chain Italian food can be better than what you find in your grocer’s freezer aisle! (I’m looking at you Olive Garden & Spaghetti Factory) Even making that comparison is probably unfair to Carrabba’s. It is considerably better than that garbage. And it was great again this time.
Service was attentive and accommodating and nice to our baby. A couple of us got creative with our orders and they didn’t miss a beat. I wish I’d made note of our server’s name. He recently moved here from the Bay Area (just like us!).

The menu changed, the portions were smaller, the prices were higher and the quality
at best was less then average. We went to this location since it opened and met the owner at that time, we went for our 40^th anniversary and was very disappointed. We are not coming back, the service was good but that all they had going for them. When they opened they had good quality food, and this was our favorite Italian place for many years. They have changed and notfor the better.

Carrabba’s is my favorite place to go when I feel like being fancy. The free bread with the oil and vinegar is awesome, I try and get as much as I can every time. The portions are great size and you’ll love whatever you try every time you go.

This is our favorite Cheers bar. Bartenders and staff are always friendly, love the Johhny Rocco salad with grilled shrimp and scallops. Pasta of course, but the Mama Mandola Sicilian Chicken soup is our favorite. We visit almost once a week.

So went to eat here when I seen a sign saying no fire arms in side. So these guys don’t support the second amendment. If they could 100% guarantee my family safety then I would go. Yet they have no security guard. So someone who doesn’t respect that rule (bad guy). Who might get drunk. Yet the guy with a CCW does the right thing. He could be screwed. I am done with people not supporting our rights.

Excellent service. Good specials. The sangria was delicious. It has a nice atmosphere. You can sign up for email coupons. Good location.

Driving around and found this place for dinner. The place had that old Italian smell from all the cheese or something. The place was very large but yet it felt cozy and comfortable and relaxing.
Our server was very nice and attended to details. She bought us warm fresh bread with an herb olive oil for dipping the bread. Very tasty and we had a second helping of warm bread.
I ordered the linguini with white clam sauce. It was full of a lot of chopped claims and a number of whole claims. The sauce was excellent in flavor with garlic and parsley or chives. The linguini was prepared perfectly.
The portions were perfect. The meal included a Caesar salad. Very well prepared with fresh romain lettuce.
No room for desert. But a definite return if we are in this area again.

Been a regular since they opened never been disappointed. From the staff (that has changed in last 16 years) to the food always good time. My wife and i always sit at the bar
We avoid some long lines in peak season this way.

We have been coming to this restaurant
for 15 years and have never been disappointed. I keep stepping out of the box and still have loved the new dishes.
The veal parm is to die for. Caesars salad the best… Enjoy

First time here and sorry to say it will be our last.
Only reason for 2 stars was because of our server Wallace J. He was very good and very nice. Otherwise it woukd have been 1star.
The new parm chicken arugula is a precooked frozen chicken patty. The broccoli i ordered with it was pre-​frozen not fresh and mushy. 15 $ for frozen food
My husband ordered sirloin and wanted it med-​rare and was given well done. Ordered mashed potatoes as his side with fettuccine Alfredo. Didn’t get the mashed potatoes and Alfredo was not fresh either 19 $ but only because they took off the 3.50 they were going to charge for the mashed he didnt get it.
To much money to be getting packaged frozen broccoli, chicken and noodles.

Have not been here in more than six months. They made several changes that do not make sense. Removed the Ricardo Sauce from the menu — so no more calamari with Ricardo. Also no longer have the Bambini Sundae, a long time favorite of my wife and I. Loved the chocolate sauce. The service was great, but running out of reasons to return. So sad.

Excellent service. Good pizza. Great Italian chicken wings. And top it off with a glass of House Red Wine. Makes for a fantastic afternoon! Great Job Everyone!

The calamari was very good and my veel Marsalis was extremity good. It pays to call ahead. They don’t take reservations, so calling ahead is the next best option.

Great food and great service. Every time we go the meals are good, with plenty to take home. The cioppino, chicken Parmesan, and sirloin were all perfect, and the cheese/​grape tomatoes appetizer was a delicious surprise. Tiramisu for dessert was fan-​tastic!

Haven’t been here for a while, but the commercials advertising new items — along with 20% off? Had to give it a shot — even tho I’ve never been a fan of carabbas. We did call ahead, and the got us right in — even on a busy Saturday night. New options on the menu were great — but the stuff they put in that olive oil for dipping the bread in is downright awesome.

We came on a fairly busy night and waited over an hour. The manager came by and gave us free appetizers, apologized, and took our order.
The food was awesome and very reasonably priced, and the wait staff was very friendly. But what happened when we got our bill shocked us.
When we got the bill, we saw that our entire bill, for 7 people including wine, was 13 dollars! The manager was extremely generous and we left with smiles on our faces!

Sure, it is a chain, but I have never had a bad experience here.
The lentil and sausage soup is fantastic, and the pollo rosa maria comes with enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day. Don’t forget the fresh bread and olive oil with herbs. Just be careful not to fill up on it… unless you want extra leftovers the next day :)

Every time I come to this location, the service is always wonderful and the staff is super friendly! As a previous server/​bartender, it’s nice to see people who know how to use their customer service skills to the best of their abilities! The food of course Is always fantastic, and the managers stop by to check on everything at least once or twice during the meal. Super professional and will be returning there/​telling all of my friends about it!

Stopped in for dinner after my father-​in-​law got into town. Little bit of a wait but well worth it. Lisa took great care of us – excellent service. Thanks so much for a delicious evening!

This was horrible! My husband ordered the lobster ravioli and you would think it was a kids meal. I ordered the margherita pizza and it was soggy and crust was terrible. I wished I could leave no stars. My first and last time at this place. Very disappointed!

Outstanding food and service as usual. Love the Pollo Rosa Maria. Can make a meal out of the bread with olive oil and spices. Love it!!!

This place is always so attentive. Have been coming here for years and Danny is great! He is friendly and always smiling! The food is the best! With Martin behind the line you can’t go wrong!

The Filet Marsala is the best. Always a great dish and the side of mashed potatoes is a must. As a chain about as good as it gets and it’s clean with friendly staff

I love Carrabas and know some of the cheeses are salty but I do think some items are too salty. I like salt but not that much. However the food is delicious and waitstaff very attentive.

We had a wedding dinner party on July 26, 2015. There were 20 of us and we were all pleased with everything from our seating arrangements, our two special servers, the appetizers and each individual meal cooked for us. Everyone called me the next day to tell me how much they enjoyed themselves. Thanks to you and your staff.

Husband & I are here often. Every now and then we will get a server who is not so great but they seems to have gotten that under control. The last few times the service has been tremendous — I mean on point. This last time we had James catering to us and a manger who casually asked us how things were going but didn’t hover — it was nice to have that extra attention. I always seem to opt for a cavatappi dish and the blanco was superb as red sauce tends to get to me once and awhile. Pleasant Cesar salad and fresh bread with a glass of great Moscato. Husband loves the lasagna and chicken dishes — This place is just a solid choice for some nice Italian close to home.

First time here and the manager Luis made it extra special. Our meals took a long time to arrive and he made us some fresh garlic bread (off the menu). Food is fresh and yummy… definitely come back here and talk to Luis. He is kind and accommodating, we’ll be back.

It would be great (and easier for everyone) if they had an allergen or vegan menu, but luckily this location has a vegan sympathizer and he was able to list all options without dairy or egg:
Bread, most of the noodles (only 2 contain egg), pomodoro and pic pac sauces. Steamed veggies.
Everything was good. Service was good for a busy night.
Only 4 stars because without the vegan sympathizer I think it would have been tough to order.
