AS always Carrabba's delivers. Food quality is good. Prices could be better, but pretty standard. Waitstaff was nice. It's a nice place for a once in awhile visit.

I have tried about 10 different items on the menu and have never been disappointed. If your not familiar with Carabbas you will enjoy.

We come only for the "Tag pic-pac" and the "Chicken Marsala"...:what else would you want on the menu!! We always have a great time and it beats the heck out of Olive Garden.

This is one of my wife’s favorite places to eat. Every time we eat at the restaurant the food is good. Service is normally real good considering they are almost always packed. There is almost always a wait around dinner time no matter what day you go. The Car side to go is not the best. Service to your car... More

Good food and service. Up to this chain's standards. Our server was very good, accommodating, and quite personable. Reasonable prices and generous portions.

A little on the expensive side, but not considering the quality of the food. Every person at the table got a different dish -- and every person loved their choice. Delicious bread.
