I went there today about 1:30 the waiter was the worst but my steak was a 10 ! The cook with the dreads made up for a bad server!

I'm normally pleased when I take the family to Carrabba's but today just wasn't a good visit. My order was wrong, the wine was wrong and found bones in my chicken. Breast cutlets should not have bones. Food vendor or food prep? read more

waste of time... waited 45 mins at 8pm open seats everywhere. hosted blamed servers and walked away... manager had no che, don't risk it...

Carrabba's has always been our favorite restaurant. We would go at least 3-4 times per month. The chicken Marsala was so tasty and the chicken trio was delicious. My husband loves the salmon Saporito and we all love the zucchini Stefano. . Also rigatoni martino was a favorite. But in the past 3-4 months we have been so very disappointed. The chicken has changed drastically. It used to melt in your mouth. Now it's tough and tasteless. The waitress said they changed it. Certainly did. And the rigatoni's sauce is very watery. The service has always been excellent but we just can't pay $22-$26 for awful chicken and get watery sauce. Salmon still good. Unfortunately it will be quite awhile before we return. So disappointed we have to find a new place. read more

This honestly used to be my absolute favorite restaurant. A couple days ago I ordered food Togo. I called the restaurant beforehand and got transferred to the to go person. This young girl was extremely rude literally from the second she answered the phone. I simply asked if my sides could be separated from my entree. I tried their NEW steak & caprese and wanted to make sure juice that comes from the steak doesn't mix with the juice from the tomatoes and mozzarella. This girl just hung up on me. I received my food MISSING one of my sides completely. Then my steak, tomatoes, & mozzarella were in a small box that had been completely mixed together. My caprese tasted like straight steak and I ended up having go order dinner from somewhere else. I have a family of 8 who used to order curbside from here and visit this restaurant on a weekly basis. We will not be returning for a very long time. read more

Food and service was timely and good. Price was good as well. Great place for large groups.

My 5 Stars goes to he service!! Service was amazing!!! I wish I could remember our waitress name but unfortunately I dont. Food was pleasant as well!! Loved the Cesar dressing! No complaints!! read more

You know, I always feel strange reviewing national chain restaurants and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's the notion that a Carrabba's in Duluth, GA isn't really that much different than a Carrabba's anywhere else in the country. It's the subtle differences. Anyways, I digress. What I will say is this: While the salad and sides taste very much like "national chain" food (as in poorly seasoned, mass-produced, and lacking in attention to detail), the mains - the Chicken Bryan and Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin were DELICIOUS! I have no doubt that if these menu items were plated in a non-chain restaurant that it would be popular. Let the food snobs turn their noses up at this! Haters gonna hate. The service was also surprisingly good. Our waiter was on the ball all evening. Our glasses were never empty, he made sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we wanted, and he was prompt. I couldn't ask for anything more from our waiter. Spot on. If they could use greener, healthier looking lettuce in their salads and improved their sides, I would gladly give them 4-stars. read more

Our waiter was perfect!!! She was on top of everything even though our food took a while too cook. She always refilled our Drinks and brought out bread while we waited. I decided to try the Shrimp and Scallops pasta and it was amazing!!! I asked for extra sauce and cheese and they did just that! Most definitely coming back! read more

First, let me start off by saying that I am in LOVE with their blackberry sangria!!!! Sometimes I feel as if I almost want to order a whole picture of it to myself!!!! I've been to this location twice, and it is pretty much like the others, everyone is friendly and the food comes out in a timely fashion and tastes great!!! If you haven't before, you have GOT to try the blackberry sangria :-) read more

Update - very close to Gwinnett Arena - service is outstanding. I frequent this location with friends and business clients regularly and am consistently pleased. Freshly prepared food. Attentive service. Comfortable bar. Well-priced. The entrees are very generous portions, but if you want lighter fare, the pizzas or the bar menu are the way to go. Never had a bad experience. If you like mussels, try them here! read more

I been to this location twice now, and every time I go I have received excellent service and the food has been delicious. I recommend the wooden wings they are delicious! The two times I have gone the dinner room and bathrooms have spotless. I will definitely stop at this location again. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Dinning Room - Italian Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I used to work at a Carrabba's in Tampa, FL eons ago during my college years. At that time, Carrabba's used to take pride in the food they put out. I've noticed over the years that they have now, regardless of location, slipped on overall food quality and portion sizing. Their portions have decreased significantly while their prices have increased. Using smaller food platters and shallow salad bowls are just a couple of industry tricks to get away with serving much smaller portions without you really taking notice. And what's with charging $17.54 for the Chicken Bryan entree with HALF a chicken breast and charging $18.79 for the same entree with a whole chicken breast?! What a way to strongarm your customers into paying $1.25 more! Very reminiscent of McDonald's and their "super sizing" tactics except at Carrabba's you're not getting anything in the way of a super size portion... What if you order during lunch hours? That same half Chicken Bryan entree is $12.99!!! Does the quality of this entree increase between the lunch & dinner hour to justify this range in pricing?! LOL! Regarding the half vs whole chicken pricing, how about you just charge for food based on actual value instead of patronizing guests with the false intention of giving us a "deal". Don't get me wrong, dear Yelp readers, I don't mind paying for a good meal, but what gets me to come back is getting value at the same time. Duluth's Carrabba's was ok. Nothing really to complain about with this location except maybe the hostesses can be a little more cheery about their job. Our check was $116 for 3 adults/3 kids and included 1 alcoholic drink & the rest water. Our server was actually very good throughout the meal. She was attentive up until the very end when we asked for our check. She disappeared for a few minutes and kinda left us hanging. Still, she had given us good service and we felt she earned the standard 20% tip. Will we return? It's doubtful. There are plenty of other restaurants this side of Atlanta where dropping $140 for a dinner experience will have you leaving full AND having leftovers for the next day! read more

Love it every time I go food and drinks are always great, the food is really consistent!! They also have great specials during the week. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Prickly pear margarita - Italian Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

This place is so basic to me. I came here for the first time in 9 years because I got a free entree from the national championship giveaway program that Carrabba's was running during the game. I ordered the bruschetta and it was so sour. Idk if they put too much vinegar but all I could taste was just vinegar. Their Cesar salad was on point tho. And I love how they give you free bread with the Italian seasoning in olive oil. But still that can't make up for the next day as I ate the rest of my bruschetta as a salsa. It was just that sour and acidic. I am reminded of why I can remember so well my last visit back in 2007 so clearly because I felt the same way I did back then and that was that their food is basic. I remember having their pasta with meatball and not being impressed at all. I would probably not come here again unless they were running another program like this. read more

I want to be honest about my experience, but don't want to be snippy. Go let's concentrate on the positives. I found a parking space near the front door. There was a larger table we moved ourselves to. The water had ice in it. The hostesses gave me napkins and silverware for our table when I asked. The wine came. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Italian Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

My second time here and I honestly wasn't impressed. I ordered the Parmesan crusted chicken which came with 2 pieces of chicken with arugula on top and a choice of side( I got mashed potatoes) and either soup or salad to start with. I got a Caesar salad which was good but my entree was not fully cooked. One piece of chicken which was a little thicker than the other was still pink on the inside. Ordinarily with meat this isn't an issue but chicken needs to be fully cooked. We told the waiter, who informed the manager and hopefully notified the kitchen staff. read more

My family and I love going to Carrabba's and enjoy eating there for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. It has always been a little bit expensive but the food and atmosphere made it worth it. Last night we had dinner there to celebrate mine and my daughters' birthdays. I ordered the shrimp and scallops Spiedino. My plate literally came with four small shrimp, four small scallops and about one cup of garlic mashed potatoes...all for $19.99. I felt like I had received an appetizer plate. I left there feeling as though we had been taken advantage of. We won't be returning. read more

Today, Tony and I ate once again at Carrabba's and may I say, it was very delicious. Approximately one month ago i spoke with the owner, Mr . Holtz in reference to less than good service we experienced at this location. Today Mr. Holtz greeted us and ensure any prior issues had been correct, and he was so right. Please go eat here, it's amazing. Thank you Mr. Holtz for this incredible experience today. Sincerely Bobby read more

Went here with co-workers at the bosses suggestion. Decent as usual for a national chain. Had the Pasta Carrabba and it was a smaller portion than usual. Service was good Parking can get tight if the Arena Tavern has a big crowd. read more

Probably my thousandth visit here so let me tell you about the restaurant. The setting is what you make it. You could bring family or a special someone for a romantic moment or even a group outing after an event. The restaurant is setup to appropriately accommodate whatever mood you desire. My food selection was Chicken Bryan which is a dish composed of grilled chicken topped with goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and a mixure of various seasonings. I had broccoli as my side which was steamed to perfection and washed down with a glass of water. I don't drink so I'm not helpful in that area. Anytime I come to Carrabbas (this location) I've never left dissatisfied. Hope you enjoy! read more

We had a reservation on Christmas Eve for our party of six. This restaurant was an absolute Disaster!!! It was packed to the gills with people waiting over an hour, the kitchen was also running an hour behind. They were completely unprepared for Christmas Eve rush. The girls at the front seating people were totally unorganized and therefore the restaurant and many guests' Christmas Eve suffered. read more

This is the second time I've eaten here and everything is great- food & service. The portions fine for me but may be too much for others. No worries because they offer smaller portions for some of the dishes. I had the Chicken Bryan and its full of flavor. I recommend it! read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill is my go to place for an Italian meal. I wouldn't say the menu is authentic as there is a good bit of fusion with American style cooking. Here, the quality is far more superior then your traditional Olive Garden. The menu here isn't quite as extensive as Olive Garden nor Maggiano's, but whatever they do here, they do it pretty darn well. For appetizers, I usually go with the fried calamari (ask for both sauce). Its fried and tasty. Everyone at the table will love it. I am absolutely obsessed with their lentil and sausage soup. For entree, I usually stick to my Pasta Weezie. The dish is your basic Shrimp Alfredo with a hint of lemon, mushroom and peas. I do like the Salmon on the menu too. It is cooked perfectly every time. For dessert, I always go with the Chocolate dream cake. Layers of brownie cake with whip cream and melted chocolate. If you love chocolate, this is a MUST. For drinks, they have a pretty good selection of wine and cocktails. For me, their sangria is the best in town. I have tried plenty but I always go back to carrabba's to get my sangria cravings. read more

We were happy to visit this restaurant. Good food and good service. Wish there was candles after dark, seems bright for the evening. read more

I like the mussels here, and can eat a whole bowl myself. Their pasta dishes are pretty good as well, and they make a decent martini. Saw they opened up in Cumming, but haven't checked that out yet...the reviews from fellow yelpers haven't been as good. read more

Tonight was my first experience here and it will be my last. - The customer service was HORRIBLE!!! Our waiter was so rude I don't even know what to say. It wasn't even that busy but he was in such a rush to clean up our table. Took away the bread before we were even done and the manner he spoke to me and my date was just disgustingly rude. - I ordered the shrimp and scallop linguine alla vodka and it tasted like something I made in the kitchen (I'm a terrible cook). It had no taste to it. Didn't taste anything special. It was just blah. For $15 I expected something special. When the waiter brought the caesar salad to me, I was so shocked at how it looked. It was as if someone picked up the salad with their toes and put it on my plate. It was displaced and flat. Maybe it was a bad day to come but.... I was not impressed at all by the quality of both the service and food. read more

To start off I am very enraged from the service I had received from today. Ridiculously little amounts of food I paid full price and paid $ 82 for a stink bug to jump out of my steak-o- bryan. I was in complete shock that I had dropped my steak Bryan #not impressed # stink bug. Cannot even rate this meal from the crap service from today. read more

I love that oak burning smell from the grill when you enter this joint. Service has always been good here, whilst food has been decent. My chicken always comes out dry for some reason and the pasta is always Al dente :) Maybe i'll give it another chance and stop on by. read more

This is my go-to spot for drinks, appetizers, or a meal when I'm in the area. I prefer the bar, and the staff are always friendly and attentive. They know what I'm in the mood for almost before I do. I recommend the pasta bar as well. It's more entertaining than a regular table, and the aromas are amazing. I have never had a problem with food that the staff didn't make right immediately. I have frequently had zero problems and the staff made my visit made better than expected. This will continue to be a favorite for me! read more

We ordered through Postmates, and we ordered the Lobster Ravioli as well as the Shrimp and Scallop Linguini Alla Vodka. The ravioli was both cold and completely void of the white wine cream sauce that it was supposed to come with. It was completely dry and flavorless. The linguini was dry as well and came with one piece of shrimp and one piece of scallop. One of each. Both of these dishes are $20+ and you're more likely getting quality Italian food from Olive Garden. read more

We went to this restaurant on Wednesday night. It wasn't busy and we were seated right away. We were having a great day until we came here. We waitied for 15 minutes. NOBODY came to our table. Usually when we sit down, waiter comes and say hi and blah blah. But this time, NOPE. We read all the details on menu, trying to be patient but still had no one visiting our table. When I decided to just stop any waiter/waitress and ask for manager, one waiter who was passing by asked us if anyone came. Then he brought us drinks and took order. He told us he is not supposed to take care of our table and will make sure other will take care of us. Another guy brought our food and asked which is for whom. He did not apologize for the wait nor said anything. I am sure I could receive better service at ihop. I might go back because I love their food but I am not sure of this location. read more

Today I ordered food from this location using Uber Eats. The food was delivered in a timely manner but as I started to make a plate of the fettuccine Alfredo I ordered I noticed a large hair in my food. The hair was about 3 inches long. Black hair with some grey. Very disgusting. Had to toss all the food out. read more

This location was great. Our food was delicious, came out quickly, and our server was great with our son.

I have been to Carrabba's before just other locations and it usually is an average meal. Maybe it was what I ordered this time but food was mediocre at best. Our server, Kevin was very attentive without being intrusive. He was extremely friendly and recommended a nice wine as well as the lentil soup which was very good. I decided to get the mussels appetizer in white wine sauce and asked for extra garlic. When it came out it was not steaming nor hot for that matter and the extra garlic that they put on it was minced! Not what I was expecting at all. We sent them back and received a new batch which were hotter but still very lemony and good at all. Would not recommend these. I ordered the pork chop with sautéed spinach and my salesperson ordered the pork wrapped in prosciutto. Both were overlooked so meat was dry. We ate it and moved on because it was near closing time for them so we did not want to send anything else back. Truthfully maybe it was the night, or what we ordered but will not go back to this location again. They received 2 stars instead of one because again the server Kevin was excellent and should be recognized for his efforts. read more

I loved our dinning experience at Italian Grill this evening. I had the Spiedino Di Mare with a garden salad....deeeeelicious! Delicious. Husband, wasn't pleased with his selection (Seafood Cannelloni) but we both liked the flat bread pizza (I think that's what they call it) with a cold beer. 10/23/14 - I love Carrabba's at this location. The muscles, flatbread, Jonny Rocko Salad and Steak with Crab were the best.. The food (delicious) and service (Charlie, our waiter) was the best! read more

I agree with others where the overall food from Carrabba's has gone down hill. This Carrabba's was horrible. The only positive thing about our experience is the server. She was on point with service during an unexpected lunch rush. The hostess was rude. The food was horrible and 2 of our entrees were cold. I definitely would not return to this particular location. read more

I appreciate the seasonal change with their menu, however, I love that they always have my favorite: the Bryan Chicken! Like every other time from eating here, I left full and satisfied. Yum, yum, yum! read more
