Carrabba's Italian Grill

I ordered lobster raviolis....too tough! No bread was sent with the order. I've had better from this restaurant. Best part was the cheesecake which I'm sure wasnt made at Carrabba's.

My wife and I have been coming to this Carrabbas for as long as it’s been open.
First the good: the house salad is excellent, the bread is very good and the flavors of everything we ordered was good.
Now the bad: the appetizer (calamari) was fine but it came out before our drinks and with no side plates. Our server AJ seemed like a pleasant guy but it didn’t seem like he understood how things should come out. I ordered the Chicken Bryan, it’s been my favorite entré for years. The chicken was very dry/overcooked as was the broccoli and the additional side I ordered, the penne pomodoro. As I said - all the flavors were there but it was cooked to death.
My wife who is a light eater, ordered the shrimp scampi appetizer as a main course. The shrimp were rubbery and overcooked and the garlic toast appeared to have been yesterday’s bread heels and were too hard to eat. The shrimp was just lying in the same garlic sauce they brought out with the calamari. There was zero effort put in to make a shrimp scampi.
I used a $75 gift card to pay ( it was a night out for us on my birthday). The tab came up to $76 and change so I gave AJ the card and a $20. I was highly embarrassed when he yelled from the bar register over to our table if I wanted my change back. Assuming your tip is a pretty unprofessional.
6pm on a Saturday night with a half empty parking lot should have been a tip off.
I would not recommend this place anymore. It used to be me and my wife’s favorite Italian restaurant.
I literally left apologizing to my wife for dragging her here.
I don’t know who owns or manages this place now but it’s fallen way off.
I gave it 2 stars because the flavors are still there. Not much else went right tho.

Candice was AWESOME. She checked on us consistently. She was very pleasant and professional. I hope when you have training for new hires she is allowed to be an instructor. We dined in Waldorf, MD

Had a great experience at the LaPlata location. The food was fresh and the wait time wasn’t long at all. Joaquin was extremely personable and professional. Looking forward to returning.

My steak was absolutely delicious and cooked just as I requested. The asparagus and mashed potatoes were a perfect addition to my meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an outstanding meal with great service.

We went to Carrabba's on a Saturday evening and our experience left a lot to be desired. This is the first time I've ordered steak at Carrabba's and I don't think I'll be doing it again. I asked for a medium steak and the steak came out well done. I then asked for the steak to be remade and it came out even more cooked than before. It looked liked they used a blow torch on it! When the steak was brought out the waiter dropped the meal on the table and didn't verify if I was OK with it. My husband then had to get up and hunt down the manager to once again let her know that my steak was cooked incorrectly. In addition to this, my husband ordered a medium steak to go but again, it was well done. We then had to ask for another steak to be made. In total we were in there for almost 2.5 hours because of all the waiting we had to do. I'm not sure I'd go back on a Saturday evening again. Overall the service was slow and too many mistakes were made with our food.

If you have not tried the monthly wine and food tasting experience at Carrabba's you are missing a wonderful treat. They offer delicious eats that are amazing and not on the regular menu with great wine pairings. They even give you an extra tasting for each wine. I have found two great wines because of this experience. Great for a girlfriends night out or for date night. Enjoy!

I paid almost $6 for a side of veggies and got this. It isn’t even equivalent to one zucchini! How can y’all even justify that price? I will not be returning!

My husband and I enjoyed our 38 wedding anniversary here last Sunday. The food was amazing and the staff was so professional. I will definitely be returning soon.
