Visited for the first time in a minute last night and our food was so good. The blackened chicken has become a favorite. My daughter loved her shrimp tacos too! The portions are super generous you will always leave full. Our server Carissa was the absolute best. So sweet and perfectly attentive. The restaurant was quiet so it was a perfect early dinner. read more

I had no idea this place existed until a family member recommended it. Staff were all super friendly, food arrived to the table with an okay speed. I chalk any wait up to it being made to order vs prepped and just quick heated. Portions are a good size, but heavy on the salt with all the dishes. The space is odd. It's really open, high ceilings, exposed duct work, but hunting paraphernalia hanging all around. Prices are high for the area. read more

I attended a rehearsal dinner at Carrabelle's recently. It is a surprisingly large space with a side room great for large parties. The staff were incredibly attentive and food/drinks arrived surprisingly fast for such a large group. I had the steak, the sauce that came on it was SO good. I would definitely recommend this to people looking for a good meal in the area. read more

Never a bad meal here. Sat at the bar and the staff is very attentive. Enjoyed the food, service, and TV's. Great variety and more than your typical bar food. read more

Nice lunch with our BFF's. We like sitting at a high top in the bar. The Can't Decide Appetizer-is so good and plenty for 4 of us. Service is always good and welcoming. Like the ribs and side salad. Forgot to take pictures but will next time. We will be back. read more

I've been here a total of two times. First time I had a basic hamburger and was not told they only serve well done aka dead hamburgers and it was one of the worst I ever had. Second time, I decided to try the Cesar chicken wrap and it bland as possible. Thankfully the server offered me extra dressing. It's almost if they put none. I don't believe I'll give them a 3rd chance. Based on reviews I read, it seems like a lot line up with what I am writing read more

Absolutely amazing and got a free entree without birthday dinner!! Great service and great food! Ashley was our server and was so sweet! Even the customers were nice read more

Great service and food. The country fried chicken is perfectly brined and juicy. The buffalo chicken dip is delicious. The green beans were great. Although I liked the sirloin, I saw someone else's ribeye and I need to try that next time. Pretzels are also good. read more

This is the first place I've ever been part of a drive by seating. The hostess....and I use that term loosely...asked,"how many" and proceeded to pick up a couple of menus and start walking. Assuming we should follow, we did, and as she walked by a particular booth she dropped the menus and silverware without saying a word, or even slowing down. Impressive skill. Too bad that's the first impression this place likes you to have. I'm guessing they don't waste time teaching customer service skills. Our server was very pleasant and friendly but the food took 20 min to arrive in what appeared to be a slow night. Strike two. I had a burger that was actually not bad. My wife ordered a stuffed chicken breast which turned out to be entirely mislabeled. It was a flat chicken breast with spinach and mushrooms and some kind of onion sauce all on top of it. Not stuffed. The taste was ok but not sure why they would call it stuffed when clearly that's not what they do with it. Overall ambiance was not really much and it was loud. The food wasn't terrible but the experience was less than enjoyable or welcoming so I am sure we'll try another location next time we're in town. read more

The food was amazing but the service was out of this world. Matt, our server, was remarkable. His personality and service is exceptional!! We will be back!! read more

Great service, great drinks, great food. The prices are good, I don't normally review the furniture but this I will, it's the most comfortable seating I've had in years! The old fashions I had were excellent, the ribs were fall off the bone delicious, and the service was attentive, I.e. never an empty glass! read more

The wait time for food is terribly long. Drinks stayed empty. Food is good. Service sucks.

Extremely disappointed in this chicken Caesar wrap. It came wrapped poorly with everything falling out, which I overlooked. When I started eating it I noticed how bland and tasteless the chicken was. This is very confusing because the other grilled chicken dishes are seasoned well. It is very hard to mess up a chicken caesar wrap but somehow y'all managed to do so. Do not buy this "new" item, you are better off making your own from Walmart. read more

Good food, good service. Their seats were very uncomfortable. We had to be seated on a bench.

Only fine carry out here so I can really only date that aspect. I love the selection & choices that this restaurant has to offer! Never had a bad meal so I would recommend! read more

We order carry out a lot and bring our kids when they come into town!! We love all the food!!

Me and my partner (in crime, lol!) ordered the BBQ chicken and it was scrumptious I loved the ambiance and the lighting, just an overall great experience Our waitress Skye was very helpful and a manger named Noah went above and beyond!!!!! Will return read more

Food was very good, service decent, although they tried to pull a fast one by charging me too much. I guess they think because you are old, you are stupid. They doubled my drink order Disgusting. read more

Worst service ever. We signed in for a table at 559 this eve and was told it was a 30 to 45 min wait. 5 of us and a 3 yr old.. at 645 next on the list a large table left. We were told that there was a table that we would get when they left. I asked how about the table there in the middle where you large # just left. We have other larger groups coming. I asked to speak to the manager I was told that when the party of 8 left we would be seated so at 715 we are still waiting with that table which is 3 tables together empty. If you want crappy service by all mean goto carabelles. read more

We love Carrabelle's. Never disappointed in the food or the service. All the girls and there are a few guys and they are awesome. Friendly, helpful, want you happy. To start with they have the best dinner salad anywhere. Fresh, crispy, generous and great toppings. It's not too big but it's plenty. I always get one and can barely touch my entree. My husband says their ribs are the best and we lived in Southern California for 45 years and traveled around the country, Texas, Utah, Wyoming, over 40 states and these are YUMMY! Half a rack is GENEROUS! Carrabelle's Philly is a winner. Alfredo pasta is tasty and a big serving. Grilled Atlantic Salmon was not disappointing. The rib eye was good, but hubby says mine is always better. That's because I buy bone in 2" thick minimum, and I grill to perfection, medium rare. I always go home with at least half of any meal. Top it off with any of their desserts. It's a cozy inviting comfy restaurant. I always look forward to going back, lunch or dinner. I wish they served breakfast! See you there soon! read more

The smallest portions of food. Overpriced for the quality & quantity. No wait for a table and a few tables open. Waited 45+min for our food. Never going back. read more

Ordered spinach salad - Ran out of Feta cheese so was going to serve with no cheese ( that's to most expense in this salad ) talked them in to putting cheese on it - wouldn't discount it ? - had to search for the cheese - oh wow . Ordered fresh coffee it was Luke warm ask for another cup never brought it till time to leave. Ask for a to go cup waitress said it was so hot it would melt the styrofoam ? Really ! oh wow Ordered shrimp & blue crab Mac n cheese , couldnt taste the blue crab and had to hunt for the shrimp lots of Mac n cheese though . Told us we could get 4 garlic toast for $ 1.99 . It was cheese toast very cheesy. Not sure I'd go back need to be a little more accommodating for sure . read more

Average, overpriced food. Service is awful. Takes forever to get your cold food. Manager Noah is rude to customers, when they complain about the service. Not going back again. Would give no stars if I could. Whoever owns this restaurant really needs to take a close look at their customers and the service that they are not receiving! read more

Took over a hour to get our food. Lots of unhappy customers,,, It was just a hamburger and not many people in the restaurant. So can't blame that. read more

Was in Dayton TN for work. First of all very small town so when the hotel suggested a "local" bar and restaurant I was thrilled. Got there around 430 thinking it would be busy. Not many people, a few locals. They have a good happy hour, I think it 2-6. Had a couple beers then ordered the meatball pizza. I told the bartender I had to go plug my phone in my truck. BAM. She hands me a charger and cord...awskn. Pizza comes. Pretty good. I'm a pizza snob but it was good, not great but good. A few more locals came in. Very fun atmosphere with a good number of TVs. They have a patio that seems popular. All and all good experience and I will be back if I am ever this way. I would like to try more of the food but everyone seemed to enjoy what they had and the staff was excellent. If I make it back this will be my go to place. read more

Carrabelle's - Southern Near Me - Dayton, Tennessee

We have eaten at this restaurant many times before at the Dayton location. The food was descent however I have to give this place a 1 of 5 because of the terrible service we received from the waiter this evening. She was very rude and rolled her eyes at different members of the table on several occasions. Had it not been for the terrible service we received this evening I probably would have rated the place a 4. I brought the issue up to the manager as we were leaving. I told her about the situation. She didn't really seem to concerned. She mentioned she would speak to the waiter about this. She had also confirmed that the waiter was known to have an attitude. With all of the above being said I'm not sure why they would keep a waiter with that mentality on board knowing she has an attitude. It's an indicator of how they do business. All in all the meal was great, service not so great. If you go, good luck. Hopefully you don't get a waiter with the name of Amber. If you do well, you'll figure it out. read more

Fantastic menu, great service, this is a restaurant for a big city center but it is, thankfully, in Dayton, TN. The beef strips great and so is the pizza. I've eaten there 6-7 times and never an issue. read more

They have a great menu, the food is great and the service is great. One of the best restaurants in Dayton!

We celebrated my Mother's Life with our family and friends at Carrabelles. We were a party of 30. And Scott (the owner), Managers and staff were exceptional! They went out of their way to accommodate us. The food came out promptly as requested and it was hands down the best food we had eaten in Dayton! Very grateful for everyone's effort to make our emotional send off a celebration to remember! read more

My husband and I stopped in here for lunch and were helped by Bianca. She was courteous and friendly. I had the spinach salad, which was ample and fresh. My husband had the Philly cheesesteak. It was amazing -- came with cheese dipping sauce and frwshly-cooked chips. The prices were good and the atmosphere was nice. We will definitely go back! read more

I don't think my way out to Dayton much but I'm damn sure going to make sure I come to Carabelles when I do. They've been at this location for about a year and I will certainly find my way back here. They serve more or less everything that walks on land and pasta and fish. Their average price for a entrees 10 to 15 bucks. My wife and also started out with their shrimp appetizer and they were very happy to accommodate her particular taste. Meaning they had to put her sauce on the side, so half the shrimp came with sauce half of it did not. But that they were willing to do that and do it correctly meant a lot to her. Our entrees were Stellar, although I can't remember what we got off the top of my head. They had a selection of draft beer but limited due to covid-19. Our server brought a beer menu over that the bartender had crossed off of what they did not have on draft, which was a nice touch. As I stated before, I don't make it out to Dayton often but I'll definitely be looking forward to coming back to Carabelles what I do. read more

Only good to eat in it seems. If you order to go, be prepared to wait because you are on the back end of their to do list. Literally got told after an hour they were "putting my food together" but the bartender could not give me an estimated time. I waited ten more minutes for them to "put it together" and then got a refund and left. Some foods like the dragon shrimp tacos and others are amazing but you can get them other places, just not in Dayton. As far as pastas and such, get it somewhere else, they dont know what salt and pepper is... read more

Horrible service, rude manager, we have a large party of people who would go there every friday night. The last time we were there, half our group got their food, paid their bill and left before the other half got their food. When the food came out it was cold. Noah did nothing except yell at one of group who went looking for our food. Noah made no attempt to comp us for any of the bad service. Each couple normally spent at least $100 for food and drinks plus tips.. We usually had 6-12 couples every week. Noah knew this and drove us out. We won't go back. If you get stuck in the corner of the group, good luck getting a server to bring you anything. They serve the closest patron and ignore the ones sitting in the back. Drinks take forever to get, so if you do really want to go there, make sure you order 2 drinks right away or you will never get a second. Unless you are friends with the bartender or server. Otherwise you will never get served. The staff doesn't care. read more
