We have gone to Carrabbas for Christmas Eve for 20+ years and every time they've delivered. We've often gone to the location at Concord Mills Mall after some last-minute shopping, but lately we've stayed closer to home and have visited the Matthews, NC location.

The Carrabbas staff does excellent work and seem to be energized and attentive even though they're working on a holiday. The food is always very good, and I mean that, too. Carrabbas...
