    Chicken Marsala
    Richard A.

    Came here for the early bird special. They started you with hot bread and seasoned olive oil. I ordered the Chicken Marsala with broccoli. The broccoli was well seasoned and firm, not overcooked. The chicken was delicious, however it was a small portion. They gave you additional bread when you asked for it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good service and the ambiance was good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of off street parking.

    The crappy, warm portion of salad. Literally half of what they used to provide.

    Welp. Carrabba's has finally slid in the ranks to the level of IHOP Quality offerings. I hate even saying this but I would rather have eaten at OLIVE GARDEN. (Involuntary shudder) Our first mistake was remembering how consistent they are; how dependable the hot fresh bread and dipping oil usually is, how the crisp cold Caesar salad with their dressing that is almost as good as homemade was at one time. Not at this time, however. When you order delivery for that extra $30 PLUS A TIP...expect NONE of that. DO expect old ass, reheated bread, a portion of dipping spice that is LITERALLY a legal "pinch", fettuccine that is glued together yet miraculously still ice cold and flavorless, chicken piccata with ZERO lemon flavor and a sauce that can only be called a "slurry" because it was pretty evident it was just a thick sludge of cornstarch and broth. Friends, Ed Gein ate better. The Caesar salad, once heralded for its cold, crisp freshness was warm and soggy and now in a smaller styrofoam container that demonstrates the fact that Carrabbas is really just trying to save money at this point. Forget flavor, forget freshness. Forget customers, mostly. So, so disappointing. What used to be reliable and decent is now pretty much on the level with fast food. Such a shame. I guess I was hoping an old standby would stand up to the test of time. How wrong I was. What a huge waste of money and anticipation. When did they just...give up?

    Fettuccine Carrabba * SPLIT PLATE
    Amanda D.

    We came in on a Tuesday evening with a party of 12 to celebrate a birthday party. I will note that they do not accept reservations. However, I do believe you can call ahead to be added to the waitlist. We did not call ahead, we tested our luck, assuming a Tuesday night would not be the busiest night. Luckily, We were seated within 10 minutes - It was not very busy! Our waitress, Amanda, was friendly, attentive & got our orders filled accurately. We don't usually have the best luck with waitstaff when it comes to larger parties. Amanda's service was a breath of fresh air! We also split the bill 5 ways. She did an excellent job taking care of that for us. My husband and I split the Fettuccine Carrabba & I ordered an additional side salad (the entree comes with choice of soup or salad) The food was excellent! Their Alfredo is more flavorful than Olive Garden, in my opinion. &The portions are huge! We made a good call on splitting the plate! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great time & did not feel rushed at all. We were able to visit & enjoy a delicious meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate!

    Lobster Ravioli
    George G.

    My wife, daughter and I went to Carrabba's last night. It must have been an off night because usually, the service is quick and attentive. Unfortunately, while our waitress was friendly, it appears she had too many tables assigned. All facets of the meal from ordering, serving and even getting the bill, were long. It was even noticeable to the manager who offered gift cards but I declined the offer. Although later, my daughter noticed we had been overcharged for a drink and the manager realized it was the same table she had previously offered the gift cards to and my daughter accepted. Disappointing because the food was great and we all did enjoy the food, drinks and dessert. We will go again hoping the service will improve.my wife had the soup as she does not eat much and this is her favorite soup. My daughter had the lobster ravioli and thoroughly enjoyed it. The pork chops I had were delicious. We also shared a Tiramisu for dessert and it was amazing.

    It might not look like much but that warm bread is so good!
    Christine B.

    Chain restaurants kind of get a bad rap. You know what you're getting when you dine here which is comforting. True confession: we went for the bread. Hey, they give you a basket of hot, crusty bread with olive oil and herbs to dip it in. It's really good. We're not drawn to the pasta here. I like the Polllo Rosa Maria with its fontina cheese, prosciutto, and basil lemon butter sauce. It's always enough for a second meal for me. I chose the house salad with creamy parmesan dressing as my first side. It was unremarkable - but you could also pick a different salad option or soup. For my second side I opted to pay $3.49 extra for fettuccine alfredo but you have other choices for free. I would say the entree and bread tasted very good while the rest of the meal was just average, but our server was very attentive and nice. We will definitely come back when that bread craving hits again.

    3/20/25 Diner for four. This restaurant is located in the Superstition Springs area and just north of Superstition Springs Blvd and the US60. We haven't been here for a few years and were looking forward to some Italian and catching up with friends. Ambiance 5/5 The dining room tables and chairs have been updated since our last visit. There appeared to be fewer tables in the dining room giving it a more open feel which was a nice surprise. I recall our last few visits we always had a rickety rocking chair. The lighting seemed brighter to my Wife and I because we noticed the flooring also looked nicer perhaps replaced or refinished? Service 5/5 We arrived just before the dinner rush and were seated quickly by the Hostess. We were greeted by our server Rachael and her server in training. They took our beverage orders returning with our drinks, Bread and dipping oil. Our long dinner service and overdue catching up began. Throughout our dinner Rachael and her trainee were very attentive talking care of refills and removing plates in a timely fashion. Fantastic service! Menu 5/5 It's been too long since our last visit to know if the menu was updated but it had all the favorites we've come to expect from an Italian restaurant. My wife went with a large Salad for her entree and I picked their Lasagna dish. All our food was out in 15 minutes or less. My wife enjoyed her salad and my Lasagna was delicious but it was served on a cold plate that chilled the Lasagna temperature too fast. Despite that it was flavorful and I had leftovers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We stayed 30 minutes longer than our dinner service enjoying conversation which to the Restaurants credit was possible because of the low ambient noise level and we were never pressured to hit the road.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For that both parties tipped handsomely. 63.82 for two with tip.

    Chicken Trio
    Samantha G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely amazing! Mouth watering food, great service & chill atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bar offers TVs for viewing pleasure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came on a Saturday night at 7pm and didn't have to wait to be seated. Was greeted immediately by our server, who was patient and offered suggestions. I ended up ordering the Chicken Trio, but instead of goat cheese, I requested mozzarella (same as servers suggestion). My food arrived with goat cheese, but the server got me a new one with mozzarella. My entree came with a Caesar salad, which was amazing! I hate when there are a bunch of stems that need to be cut out and I might've picked out 5 pieces total. Dressing was so good! We also got the Italian classic trio with lasagna, chicken Parmesan and fettuccine alfredo. The chicken parm was the smallest piece of chicken I've ever seen served, but tasted good. The pasta was definitely missing sauce, but the server offered a side to take home with our leftovers. Will definitely be back! The food was too delicious

    Espresso martini
    Jenna M.

    I didn't come here for an espresso martini but would I come back for just that? Yes! I have always wanted one but have never ordered one. I did today and dang it was amazing. We always come for Christmas Eve dinner as we did tonight. Our food was all great and service was good too. You can't go wrong with the chicken noodle soup. I have ordered it for years. My husband got the Johnny trio and liked it. He enjoyed the steak and chicken and even liked the ravioli even though he is typically not a fan. We had a great dinner!

    3 piece variety dinner with sirloin and mushroom and more.
    Shane T.

    Pleasantly surprised by all our food selections. Big ribeye steak dinner. Small sirloin combination plate with chicken and ravioli. Our drinks were pleasant - my husband had an old fashioned and I had the Christmasy vodka martini glass one with a sprig of Rosemary and three cranberries. Saturday evening around 6pm and place was half full. A lot of people are no longer eating out routinely. Staff attention was good.

    It had been the longest time since I had visited Carrabba's. It was not at all crowded during lunch, we got seated right away. They had a pretty good lunch menu, initially they forgot to give it to us. So we had to ask for it. My friend got the lunch lasagna, the portions were quite big for a lunch. They also had some bread for us on the table and were kind enough to offer a refill as well. I decided to go with the regular chicken paramesean. It was tender and crunchy hoever slightly on the thinner side. But it was good. I also got a soup and mashed potato to go with it. The flavor on the mashed potatoes was really good or was garlic flavored. The soup also had a lot of chicken, the bread and soup by itself was quite filling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place by itself was really clean and quite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

It definitely got busier as we were dining. Our server was Tammy and she was really attentive and nice. She went through the menu with us as it was our first time there. There were 2 of us and we got: 2lbs crawfish, 1 lbs mussels, 3 corn, 4 potatoes, and 2 orders of the sausages (4pc). We ordered the trifecta sauce, hot. It was the perfect amount for the both of us. I loved that they gave us a little extra sauce on the side so we could dip each piece. The food came out pretty quickly as well. There was also a handwashing station nearby so you didn't have to go all the way to the bathrooms to wash your hands. They give you all the supplies you need to eat such as gloves, hand wipes, bibs. We'll definitely be back!!

I had been here a few times since it first opened, but it had been a while since the last visit. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted and sat. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Even offered a recommendation for a seasonal drink that was pretty refreshing. What We Ordered: ~ Angry Edamame: Always love edamame, and add some seasoning with a little spice - perfection! ~ Snow Crab (trifecta, spice level 3) + corn: My usual go to, but wish I did Level 4 though the server talked me out of it saying it's a big jump between the two levels. Next time, I'm going for it! Pretty decent flavor, though I've preferred other crab boils in the valley recently. ~ Fried Oyster Po Boy: My boyfriend said he wasn't a big fan of this comparative to the ones he has had growing up in Florida. Definitely a pass for next time. ~ Hot Honey Blueberry Lemonade: Very refreshing and perfect for the Arizona heat. Definitely love to see this drink on the menu or seasonally. Overall, a great experience with a low key atmosphere that you'd expect for a crab shack. Love the sinks to wash your hands! A great place for us in the east valley to get our seafood boil fix.

Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

I asked about the toppings for the tacos and they said "oh yeah". The girl then went to grab the supervisor Kat, and she was very friendly. She apologized and let me know they were out of cheese, and cabbage. I asked about the pico and other toppings and she apologized for not including those items, then grabbed them for me. They did forget the lines too which i didn't realize until we got home, which was a bummer. I called in before we headed for pick up and ordered a large guac and chips. I ended up paying 52 bucks and when we left my husband said, that's really expensive guac. I didn't even realize how much i was spending because the mess that was happening with our main order. I checked the receipt and they charged me for a catering size guac, and i only received one small tub of guac and 2 small containers of chips. If it was catering i would have got 3 large containers of chips with a big bag of chips. I called to get a refund and Kat apologized for the mix up. She let me know that they weren't expecting it to be busy and ran out of a ton of different things, so the day was kind of crazy. She told me that since i paid in person i could only get a refund in person and they couldn't do it over the phone. I stopped back in on my way home from our Mother's Day get together and it was a different supervisor and the kitchen was disgusting. Food everywhere, empty food containers on the counters. I was kind of shocked honestly. Night and day difference from 2pm when i was in there earlier. Thankfully i got my refund and will not be returning to that location anytime soon. The chicken and fish we received were so dry, but at least the guac was yummy and tasted fresh! The employees did the best they could with what they were set up with but whoever handles the ordering needs to rethink not ordering additional items for a holiday. Especially tortillas, cabbage, and cheese!

It's one of my favorite Mexican restaurants here in the Phoenix Southeast area. This restaurant is located in a strip mall on the south west corner of Greenfield and Baseline. When you enter the restaurant directly in front of you is a counter with a cash register and behind the counter is the kitchen. The decor has a very rustic Hispanic feel. I love the little Tile roof awning they have when you first walk in and throughout the restaurant. There's seating in a room to the right of the counter, in a room to the left of the counter and outdoor seating as well. When the weather is nice, we enjoy sitting outside. They have it warmly decorated with trees and plants, which makes for a very relaxing environment. On our last trip, Juanita was our server and she was fantastic. She paid very close attention to details like ensuring our drinks were filled and when I asked for some extra green salsa for my quesadilla, she quickly brought me enough to finish what I was eating with my dinner plus some to take home for my leftovers. They start you off with chips, salsa, and bean dip. They offered their red salsa which is very good, but I am absolutely in love with their green salsa. So upon request, they will bring you some. Their green salsa has a slight sweet taste to it. I love dipping my chip in the beans and then dipping it into the green salas. There's just something unique about that flavor combination. For dinner I had the Carne Asada quesadilla. I normally get the mango chicken quesadilla, which is absolutely delicious. They also offer it with shrimp. Pretty much any meat they offer on the menu you can get in your quesadilla. This is the first time I tried the carne asada quesadilla and it was fantastic. It came with diced up Carne Asada that was very tender, loads of cheese and guacamole inside. It was really good! My husband got a combo meal that had enchiladas and a chile relleno. He also enjoyed his meal. He ordered his enchiladas Christmas style, which is red and green sauce on top. He said his Chile relleno reminded him of the ones his mom makes.
