All the staff attentive, friendly knowledgeable, and on task parking is easy management is friendly and professional. The menu was great and offered great specials for lunch. The pricing was also competitive their food was cooked perfectly. The chicken on the Alfredo was tender. The noodles were nice and soft the sauce was made perfectly. Our waitress was extremely friendly and made everyone at the table laugh.

My server was Brittany M. She was delightful!! Great service!! Food was great! I gave only 4 stars for the atmosphere because a guy was prepping in the kitchen, to my right…he was cutting something but it was loud and super annoying while trying to enjoy my meal. Wings are grilled and salad was delicious 😋

Saddened to see a recent decline in all 3, Sunday afternoon and somewhat busy but Sammy Sweetheart Hostess was a little too rich for my taste, maybe offer an alternative when no booths are available?
Wait staff seemed a little overwhelmed and there was literally 0 people in the bar area. Would expect a little more support vs standing idly by watching the weeds grow, and maybe offer a booster seat for my GrandSon since I'm dropping 140 bucks on a Sunday mid-afternoon?
My signature dish has also declined in size and flavor but has inflated in price. Do better.

My husband and I have been married for over 55 years, and we always enjoy going out for dinner together. Tonight we had such a wonderful experience at Carrabba’s that I felt I had to leave a review.
Brittany was our server, and she was an absolute sweetheart. She was so patient, kind, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we sat down. I had the Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti and meat sauce, and my husband had the Linguine with Clams. Both meals were delicious!
I also wanted to recognize the sweet young man with the curly hair who brought out our food. He was so polite, had the biggest smile, and was incredibly kind throughout our visit. It’s rare these days to see young people with such great manners, and he truly made our evening even more special.
Great food is always nice, but it’s the people who make you want to come back. Thank you, Brittany, and thank you to the young man with the curly hair for making two old folks feel so welcome. We’ll definitely be back!
