Reviews Summary

Carrabba's Italian Grill receives praise for its exceptionally friendly and attentive service, with many guests highlighting specific staff members for making their dining experience memorable. The lunch specials are also a hit, offering great value. However, some diners have expressed disappointment with portion sizes and the quality of certain main courses, particularly a chicken Marsala dish which was criticized for its small portion and high price.

"This is an amazing place to dine. I recommend dining in. Our server was Tyler. He went out of his way to serve us quickly, and checked in on us many times throughout the visit. This time, we were celebrating mine and my mother's birthday, and the staff made us a card with our cake! The cake's name was "chocolate dream," if you want to get it. It was one of the most delicious desserts I have had. The rest of the dinner was also delicious, and our server Tyler delivered it exceptionally quickly. The interior was beautiful, and it was nearly spotless. Being in this restaurant makes you feel like you are dining in a luxury restaurant."

Korbyn Campbell

"We had cocktails at the bar with Ashley before our dinner started! She is the best and even came and checked on our table at dinner to see how our experience was!

Ian was our server and is the bomb! Food, service and experience was amazing! Establishment is super clean! Ask for Ian and go see Ashley! You won’t regret it"

Kayla Griffin

"Ordered the chicken Marsala and the portion was an absolute joke. I was given the option of fries as a side and got 12 truffle fries in total along with a measly tiny little piece of chicken Marsala.

My whole table ordered dishes and they all arrive with plenty of food, and my dish looked like it was a kids meal.

Do not recommend you spend nearly $30 for 12 fries and a tiny piece of chicken."
