The food was delicious and staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant wasn't overcrowded and there was ample room for my large party to eat comfortably. The food service felt extremely delayed for the visible traffic and the calamari was so salty that my aunt had to send it back. The manager removed it from the bill without ceremony so that was fine. An overall good dining experience. read more

Decided to have dinner here Saturday evening. They have happy hour daily from 4-6pm I believe. They have great options on there! I tried the blood orange margarita and the lasagne dip. The margaritas were refreshing and the dip was good, but nothing special just lasagne without the noodles. I had the Johnny's trio. Everything was so good and our waiter was very attentive and personable, shout out to Will! read more

We sat at the bar they have a great happy hour draft beers for three dollars! Except the draft beer was not very cold! We ordered the meatball slider app, that was really good. The restaurant itself was pretty warm. However the bar area is lighted was very comfortable! The bar tender was amazing!! I had the chicken parm as per usual. It was good not great but would eat again! Wife had Chicken Bryan (Brian) not sure how it's spelled, anyways she said it was very good! Stay away from the house salad no tomatoes, and they but olives in the salad! Over all score would 3.3 out of 5. read more

Love love love this location for curbside pickup! As soon as I pulled up, an employee was at my window before I could even grab my phone to check in! And my order Was ready in less than 30 minutes! Unfortunately, I was so hungry. I ate it before I could snap some pictures but Johnny Trio with the fillet and fettuccine Alfredo with Caesar salad was outstanding as always! They also have a great rewards program which put a five dollar reward in my account immediately -way to go Carrabba's on Blanding Boulevard. read more

I'm going to update my review again because I've had several good meals from here since my last review. At the beginning of Covid they were one of the few places where you could order food so we did and they won me back. read more

So, I've visited this location more than a few times in the past, but didn't feel like putting on my big boy pants. Nice enough place, mostly the kitchen turns out tasty enough food, and the staff is friendly. So I ordered delivery. For $67 i got the worst steak I've encountered that cost more than $3. Even with a super sharp Wustov knife, i couldn't cut through it. Out of a 16oz steak, i barely was able to salvage 1oz. The rest went in the trash. I mean, it was cooked mid-rare as requested, and the sides and bread and sauce were nice enough (hence the not 1 star rating), but i also couldn't find a feedback link on their website. Not planning on ordering or visiting ever again. read more

If it was possible to give zero stars, I absolutely would. This is our first time at this location and it will be our last. It took forever to get anything we needed, and the restaurant was slow. The only good thing from this entire experience was the bread with the herb and oil and the mozzarella sticks. I've never been so disappointed in my life with a meal. Although the restaurant was quiet. It was still not worth my time with my family. read more

Not impressed. Had to constantly ask for drink refills. The dinner was supposed to come with garlic bread and never came even when asked for. Server was too busy goofing around. read more

The food, the service, the atmosphere, the ambiance were all top notch. When you think "chain restaurant" you might get a negative feeling, but you would be missing a great experience, especially on Wine Dinner Nights - fun, great value, entertaining, and a way to make friends and maybe win a raffle. These are EXPERIENCE dinners and I highly encourage you to try a few! read more

Omg the chicken bryan!!!!! It's so good!!! We had great service and enjoyed our time. The Diet Coke here is the PERFECT amount of crispness and it just hits. It's so good. I literally only get the chicken bryan here because it's the best. I even did the take home your meal for $10 deal this time which was so worth it. I had it the next day and the portion was huge. The portion is even big when you're in the restaurant too. I always have leftovers. I love the bread here, the spices and oil is chefs kiss If chicken bryan had no fans, I would not be alive because I am a fan read more

The service was stellar by our server, Will. The dishes we ordered were not so great. They lacked decent flavor which didn't justify the price. read more

Due to a late practice, I picked up a late dinner for my family at this Blanding Boulevard restaurant. I was able to use their on-line app to order and it let me plug in a gift card and then pay the rest with a credit card. I was also able to schedule a delivery for later in the day. You will get a confirmation text to use when you get there. We opted for a spaghetti and meat sauce ($8 up charge) family bundle which also comes with choice of salad and bread (2 loaves). I was late getting to the store for my scheduled pickup time so I sent my son in to the store to pick it up only for him to be told that we had to go to the curbside pickup area and pick it up. So, I drove over there and responded to the earlier text but it still took a server who was helping other cars to get my order picked up. Once I got the food home, I noted that I had a container full of spaghetti pomodoro, a Caesar salad with dressing on the side and bread. While the menu says it serves four, it easily served me, two male teenagers and a 9 year old female with a full serving of spaghetti left over. Not a bad option for your family if you need to get a meal for an evening. Less than $50 with no meat sauce and a little over $50 with a meat sauce. You can also add meatballs for $12. read more

We went to Carrabbas for lunch with my mom and a friend. I got the spaghetti with meatballs. It was good but not my favorite. I wanted something different and after trying the spaghetti I wished I had gotten the lasagna again (this is my favorite and super delicious). My wife got the chicken marsala. She said hers was very good! We took advantage of the "take home entrée for $10" deal. Our waitress seemed very busy and must have had too many tables. We had to flag her down twice to get our Togo boxes and then the check. read more

First thing first, ask for Heaven! This past Saturday, Heaven at Carrabba's on Blanding gave us the wonderful dining experience friendly, fast and flawless! The food was delicious, the restaurant was clean, and her service made us feel like VIPs. We'll be back just for her! And the house salad, fresh, fresh, fresh. read more

Doriana was our server, and she was absolutely amazing--very kind and attentive to every detail. The food was incredible, honestly a 10/10. The ambiance was also wonderful: everything was spotless, and the restaurant smelled so fresh and welcoming. read more

We visited around 5:45 PM to celebrate a birthday and to enjoy happy hour, which our server explained ran from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. We ordered appetizers, sangria glasses, salads, and bread. Before happy hour ended and just before our food arrived we attempted to order a third sangria glass. At that point, our server informed us she would not place the order, stating that we still had drinks in our glasses, that our food had not yet been served, and that she "didn't want to lose her job." As a local realtor, restaurant reviewer, and bartender at a high-end establishment who is very familiar with alcohol compliance, I found this explanation confusing and unnecessary. We were well within happy hour, responsibly enjoying our time, and there was no compliance-related reason to refuse the order. Unfortunately, this interaction disrupted what was meant to be a special celebration and left us feeling uncomfortable during the remainder of our visit. I want to emphasize that I'm sharing this feedback because the experience fell short of the level of service we typically expect at Carrabba's. The server, Blue, was unprofessional and diminished the overall experience. read more

Review should be zero! We had to wait over an hour. My son got his food but my daughter got nothing. We ask our waitress when the rest of the food is coming and she said five tables were in front of us. We waited patiently unknowingly that our food would never arrive. Food , Food, Food where for art thou? read more

My friends and I went to Carrabba's for an early dinner to celebrate my birthday and we had such a great time with amazing food! The highlight though was our waitress Chloe, who just made the afternoon such a delight with her warm personality and special attention! Thank you Carrabbas and thank you Chloe! read more

Stopped by after lunchtime on Saturday to pick up dinner for our movie night at home. I ordered the chicken parm with garlic mashed potatoes and my hubby ordered the Tuscan pork chops with the potatoes and asparagus. We both had salads. Everything was delicious and we were pleasantly surprised by the portion size. We have leftovers for Sunday! We were dying to try your new pizza, but since it's strictly only available M-F for lunch, we won't be able to. I suggest you offer it as an appetizer everyday. It would be great for the "table" together with calamari!! It's just common sense to make new offerings (not lunch specials) such as pizza available for all your guests. read more

I love Carrabba's!! I could eat a whole loaf of the bread with the olive oil and herbs!! My other go to favorites are the chicken Marsala (with no mushrooms) and the garlic mashed potatoes. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and the service was friendly and efficient! A great meal! read more

From the moment we stepped in, we had a great experience. The hostess was very welcoming, and asked our preference for seating, which was appreciated. Our server Dori was very friendly, she took the time to let us know about the specials and was extremely attentive thru out our entire dinner. She also asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, which we were, my birthday ! We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and it was delicious ! Light breading with good flavor, the marinara was great for dipping. I ordered the Mahi Wulfe, with a side of asparagus. The seasoning and flavors were top notch ! At the end of our dinner, Dori surprised me with a birthday dessert including a candle ! Very thoughtful ! We especially enjoyed the soft Italian music in the background and the muted lighting at our table read more

A little disappointed today. I ordered a salad, side pasta and mozzarella sticks to go. When we opened the bag, the Alfredo was in a small cup that you would put the marinara sauce and it barely had any sauce at all. I have ordered the side before and it typically comes in one of the plastic to go containers so I'm not sure if someone is new or it was intended to be a joke. This small container literally fit about a 1/2 a cup of noodles. My daughter was pretty bummed about it and said it felt like a snack. Maybe they'll do better next time. The ceasar salad was very very good. We're about to make cook some food now lol. We'll be back Carrabbas and hope this was just a fluke. *tears* read more

Carrabba's will always be a favorite place to go as a group and solo. I enjoy eating here. The food is always delicious. Unfortunately, lately the service has seemed to go down a notch. One of our party joined late and we had to ask for our waiter twice. Then we had to ask for the check twice. As always the ambiance is a great place to sit and chat. We enjoyed ourselves while there. I will return and hopefully the waiter will be a little more attentive to our table. read more

Easily one of my favorite restaurants, that is a franchise. The pasta is always fresh, the caprese salad with fresh burrata is always so good, light, and delectable! I come to this location to sit at the bar, enjoy a few pieces of bread soaked with olive oil and a buzz from the wine I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for service that will make you feel welcome and valued. With the utmost respect, the experience isn't just enjoyable, it's discounted luxury - and I wouldn't change a single thing about its operation or ingredients. (: read more

Spaghetti with meat sauce was cold and had NO MEAT SAUCE. Lasagna was cold . Salads were drenched in Italian dressing and unedible. Server acted miffed when we complained. Not too loud. read more

Wait staff were friendly and accomodating. Food arrived approximately 40 minutes after placing our order. Steak was tough, chicken was tough. Both steak and chicken were tepid when served. Bread was stale. We will never return to this establishment. read more

I ordered food at 4;07 pm by 6.40 my food wasn't ready Manager said, they are to busy and I have to wait not the place to go read more

Let me first I'll start by saying that I love Carrabba's! However, this was the worst dining experience I have ever had. The service was subpar, the waitress hardly ever came to check on the table. We sat for almost 30 minutes before the waitress came over to even take our drink order. At that point, we ordered our drink and our meals. The food took FOREVER to come out. We had to inquire about our soup, the waitress blamed that delay on the kitchen. As if they're not just keeping the soup in a warmer back there. We were there for 2 1/2 hours and had to ask for literally everything. It was terrible. Go to another location. read more

Our waiter Mike was absolutely delightful. Food was good and so were the drinks! This place had a wonderful atmosphere and we will definitely be returning! read more

Just had an awesome dinner here with my guy. Started with the calamari and that was great. We had the usual dipping bread and spices in olive oil as well. Salads were a good blend of veggies....also very good. Chicken Marsala was just what you would expect and more. We were stuffed by the time we left. Great wait staff as well. Worth the money spent! read more

Arrived without reservations or online early check in. Receptionist quoted a 20 minute wait. Waited outside and waited on text. Right about 20 minute mark I received text that a table was open now. Went inside and was shown to our table. Then we sat there for over 15 minutes before any wait staff came by. Finally a server showed up with bread and seasoning for the oil and took our drink orders. About ten minutes later the waiter came to take our food. Soup and salad arrived fairly quickly and food came out shortly after. Food was good. read more

Outstanding Service, Delicious Food, and a Spotless Dining Experience! I had the pleasure of being served by Heaven at Carrabba's Italian Grill on Blanding, and I have to say her name fits her perfectly! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile, genuine kindness, and the kind of attentive service you just don't find everywhere. Heaven made sure our drinks stayed full, checked in at the perfect times (never hovering, never disappearing), and anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask. She knew the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and made sure every detail of our order was just right. The food was absolutely delicious fresh, hot, and beautifully presented. You could tell it was prepared with care. The restaurant itself was spotless from the floors to the tables and it made the whole experience feel comfortable and welcoming. Heaven's professionalism, personality, and genuine care for her guests turned a simple dinner into a memorable evening. She's the kind of server who makes you want to come back again and again. If you visit Carrabba's on Blanding, ask for Heaven you'll be glad you did! read more

The service was amazing and the fettuccine Alfredo is to die for! It was steaming when it came out!! Shout out to the server Leah. T!!!

I appreciated Carmen for her quick and courteous service at the curbside pick up tonight.

So qe randomly decided to go to Carrabas for dinner..hadn't been in a long time. Nice welcome in and it wasn't too crazy busy. I ordered the triple chicken dish and it was delicious. My husband ordered the alfredo with peas and chicken; he thought it was just blah. Not that impressive. The most impressive was the service. Our server's name was Matt and he was attentive and fast. He made sure our glasses stayed full and continued to check on us. He had a pleasant demeanor also. I also ordered a ToGo for 10 dollars. It wasn't as good as the meal but was still a good deal. Hey you can't ask for too much right. read more

This is the BEST Carraba's I have been to! Food is fresh and delicious from just out of oven sourdough bread to Sicilian chicken noodle soup, shrimp piccata and a classic tomato caprese with house made fresh burrata cheese, wonderful. Highly recommend all. Also we sat at the bar which gave us great service in a relaxed setting. It wasn't loud with comfortable chairs and nice jazz music playing, loud enough to hear but not so loud that was all we heard. Great place!! read more
