Carrabbas is one of my favorite go to places, especially at lunchtime. The food is consistently good, and if you are lucky enough to get Bree for your server, the service is exceptional! She is as special on the inside as she is gorgeous on the outside! And by far the best server I have ever had. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

We come to this specific location frequently with it being the closest to us. We have never had a bad experience. The food is always cooked to perfection and the service is fantastic. Specifically tonight we had Leah and Abbee Ann. Leah was our main server, but Abbee Ann was very kind. Leah was super friendly, offered great suggestions and made sure we knew all of the current promotions. One of our best experiences!

I regularly pick up to-go food from this location multiple times a week and the service on that side is amazing.

I've gotten to know both Bri and Luca (I think I'm spelling that right?) and they always have everything ready to go as quickly as possible. Both recognize the car (kind of hard to miss a Mini Cooper with a British flag painted on the roof) and are immediately out to greet me and give me an update on my order.

Both always...
