It's been awhile since we have been here, and still the same great place, love the dining room area, and the service is impressive as always. Crab cakes were very good and perfect start to lunch. I liked the pasta with shrimp, but that braised short rib was incredible, nice crust on the outside but fork tender inside the middle, also the value was there, great dish and meal altogether. read more

Carrabbas ! I went for a dinner and tried a lot of things. Service was fantastic - and was recommended a great wine. The stuffed mushrooms app, lentil & chicken noodle soups were 10/10! The pasta was good but a bit over the top. The chicken Marsala from the chicken flight was good! Loved the bread pudding but so large and sweet. Overall - a better chain restaurant experience, would come again! read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Night out with friends at Carrabas - Italian Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Have tried it twice within the past few months. Just not anything to keep us going back. The flavor was lacking and we think there's better restaurants around. No sense being disappointed. The service is fine but there's no wow to any of the food we've tried. I even ordered a cup of Chicken soup. Underwhelming for sure and not hot - barely warm. I ate less than half of the cup. With great restaurants serving terrific food consistently, we won't give them another try. read more

My second time at this location, food was decent. Took 50 minutes from sitting to the food arriving. My Alfredo was watery this time on the Fettuccine Carrabba. Very busy this night so I am sure that impacted the service and quality (Friday night). read more

Went Christmas Eve for dinner and the Food was delicious, the Service was the best we've ever had at any restaurant. Lisa B was quick on drinks and appetizers to the table and our drinks never go less than half before another one arrived. Great Food, Superior Service, at a Good Price!! read more

Manager was very sassy and mean and was very cruel to our seating arrangements and did not care for our expriance and did not care for us like a manger should. read more

Lasagna was delicious. A nice portion. Service was good and the place wasn't too busy.

Awful experience. The food was okay but the service was horrible. I will spare the details as it's not worth my time. Just know they can't handle a party of 10 and a party of 8 with the rest of their tables. Terribly long wait times and inconsiderate when they know it must have been a bad experience. read more

Great food Awesome staff Management goes beyond to make sure you are taken care of Great special and Happy Hour too read more

They serve the BEST lasagna in town! The Rigatoni was perfectly cooked. Unfortunately the Pinot Noir, LA Crema; is being phased out by Corporate ( it never fails. Let some higher up who is difranchised ruin it for everyone). Shawn , our waiter who was taking care of half of the restaurant never missed a beat or sweated under the pressure. He was excellent!! The manager, Daemon; jumped in and gave him a hand ( that's a true leader, when you see your people in trouble and you jump in to help and assist! That is the mark of a natural born leader). And that is why I go here often! read more

Always reliable food and service. Love the chicken and the ceasar salad here is one of the best. Always friendly service and atmosphere.

This has always been my go-to favorite italian spot! From the Scotty Thompson to the Chicken Bryan, I have to have it every so often and ONLY from Carrabbas. Did have a bad experience Christmas eve a few years ago....called ahead and asked for reservations. The young lady on the phone said sure, took my info, and that was that. Called the day before to confirm, said all was good to go. Got there, was told " 'We dont' take reservations', have a seat over there and when a table is ready, we will let you know. " We waited for over an hour, fuming. finally got the table was was slam rushed to hurry and let them turn over the table for someone else....haven't been back, at least not the the Lafayette facility. read more

Food is awesome. Services is great and ambience is perfect for an Italian restaurant.

The lasagna I ordered was the best I've ever had. creamy cheesy, meaty, and the pasta was absolutely perfect. exceptional service. One of the cleanest restaurants in Lafayette! read more

We love the restaurant! Check your meatball recipe! Too soft and falling apart, and no beef taste! Very friendly staff!

I've eaten here multiple times. Their food is consistently excellent! The Lasagna is the best around. They serve an excellent Pinot Noir; whom the Bar tender told me that they are phasing out in order to slim down the amount of space dedicated to wine storage (I think they are making a big mistake, but he told me it was a corporate decision). ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO RETURNING TO EAT HERE!! read more

Excellent food and superb service. Nice ambience. Clean restaurant. Chain but doesn't feel like it. read more

Great food, not a chain feel. Italian family here and this is better than ANY local place that claims Italian i.e Alessi's etc. Variety for meal options and GREAT drinks! You can't pass up up the bread and dipping which is staple. Don't sleep on the sausage and lentil soup either. It's the BEST. Calm and inviting ambience, family friendly, clean, great food at affordable prices. What more could you want?!?! Lafayette's best Italian along with Marcello's! read more

Alright!..so the first visit on thursday Nov 14th EVERYTHING was on point, the manager Dave was working and the food was GRRREAAT!..Real nice Atmosphere!...it was sooo great we made a second trip today the 23rd...now the food is still good, great service,........buuut something was a little different...still not bad compared to first visit i would say based on the speed at which the food arrived the second time I would speculate maybe a convection oven was used to reheat the main dishes as opposed to food being prepared like it was on visit one, now we still broke the plates down like a fraction but that first trip on Thursday evening smelled like we walked into a fresh herb garden, kinda wasn't the same on visit two. Will try again on a weekday! read more

Monday morning my husband and I came in for a quick lunch. When we arrived the restaurant was packed and we thought it might take a little longer than we hoped. Nope! Our server Sara was amazing and had everything out to us in a snap!! The food was incredible but the service was even better!!!! 10/10 recommend read more

We've been a long time patron here. This applies to the inside and the "to-go" service. The quality is dropping off from a high mark to a mediocre mark. The curbside personnel are excellent, friendly, and very hard working. They can only deliver what someone else prepared. The quality control is way off where it once was. The spaghetti sauce tasted watered down, the smothered spinach was cold, the spaghetti noodles were pasty (overcooked). In the Mahi Wulfe, the prep placed the small container of the lemon butter sauce for the angel hair pasta INSIDE the to-go package sitting on top of the food - gross!! who else touched that container and it's sitting on top of food to be eaten. Not acceptable. read more

Service was excellent, waitstaff were VERY attentive, the food was deliciously prepared and to our table very quickly. Overall ambiance was excellent. Will absolutely be back. 10/10 from the hostess stand to the waitstaff, as well as the kitchen. A delightful experience. read more

Y'all! I don't know how in the world I haven't made my way to Carrabbas before last night but, I am ashamed! To start our server's name is Lexxi (sorry if I misspelled it my girl) and she was phenomenal. When we arrived it was kind of quiet. We were sat to a cozy booth and she came over right away. We ordered drinks to start which was the Prickly Pear Martini and the Peach Lemonade (now forgive me those aren't the exact names). It was so delicious! We had to pace ourselves. We skipped appetizers (but won't do that again) and went with the Chicken Trio for the entree. Every part of that was delicious. Our server came to check on us quite a bit but not too often to be annoying. We couldn't deal between the cannoli cake or the limoncello bread pudding. I was a little skeptical about bread pudding because I haven't had too much luck with restaurants lately, but as soon as she brought it to the table............ let's just say it made up for all my disappointments! It was so good. This time, we decided to share our meal but next time we come in we will have to have our own dish!!!! Although, the trio was plentiful for the both of us, it was too good for me to share next time. Thanks for an enjoyable evening. We didn't even get the chance to take photos of our food!!!! read more

This is the second and last time we order food to take out. I ordered a medium rare steak and it was cooked well done. The chicken parmesan was burnt and tasted like cardboard. I spent close to $200 for 4 meals and very disappointed again. read more

Great job on our catering order!! Apps included ricotta meatballs, shrimp scampi and stuffed mushrooms. Entrees were chicken fettuccine, penne w meat sauce and chicken marsala. Hot, well packaged, on time and a ton of food for the money. read more

Had dinner there last night at the Carrabba's in Baton Rouge. The food was awesome! The service was impeccable! Kudo's to Brittany, she was fun, informative, very personable and prompt. I would definitely return and ask for her to be our waiter. Thank You, Pam R. read more

I been wanting to try Carrabba's for some time now and unfortunately it failed me. I ordered the fettuccine weezie which comes with a soup or salad. The pasta looked appealing however it lacked flavor. The good think about this restaurant is that they have happy hour they offer $5 martinis, beers and Bellinis. I ordered the pomegranate martini which was very good. Depends on how I feel I might give this place another chance. read more

Food was cold, salad we ordered with it onions had onions all over it. Not the best from there

Awful, just AWFUL ! The "calamari" was great blobs of mushy grease-soaked "breading", containing tiny pieces of squid. I don't understand how a place this bad could stay open in the Lafayette market. Rick read more

I have always loved Carrabba's! They have amazing food and such nice waiters and waitresses. I went here today and got such great service and meals. My waiter even put a candle in my cannoli cake. Absolute satisfaction! My problem was how the water wasn't clean.. there was a bug in it.. I don't really appreciate that, considering I had my family with me. Also, the service was extremely slow, it took us fifteen minutes just to get a bag to go. read more

Update: the Management at Carrabba's has been very responsive. And while their food left me short, they've gone the extra mile to make it right. We're gonna go back and give it another taste. Stay tuned foodies... I'll let ya know. (I gave them a bump up star just for their efforts) Sometimes, I like to have fun with my reviews... I go for silly, or fun... Or hell, even poetry. But Carrabba's... gets the straight forward. It's not worth the money. The price point on the food is too high. There is nothing exceptional or innovative about the menu. The food was cold and clumpy. The service (on a Friday at 6:30 with no wait at the door) was slow, lithargic, and disinterested. We chose to have dinner here because we received a nice gift card for the holidays... And we were looking forward to the reckless abandon of eating on someone else's dime. I'm sorry they wasted their money. read more

Had a wonderful lunch with friends. our waiter,Jason, gave us outstanding service with a very pleasing attitude. We will be going back.

Good food, friendly service, happy bellies. It's a chain restaurant but a good one. Always satisfied with this place.

Really enjoyed our visit this evening to Carrabba's despite the 40 minute wait. Service was very good though. Food was very enjoyable and reconfirms my like of the restaurant. read more

Long standing delicious restaurant with plenty of great options. While here working in Lafayette for two weeks the food has been fresh with plenty of veggie options and good salads for me to choose from. Thank you! read more

Ordered via Yelp. 40.00 and it arrived with no forks no napkins. Was delivered to a hotel. The chicken was pure rubber and gristle . Food Luke warm. Never will order again. Oh fresh warm bread but no butter. read more

Food was ok. I was not really expecting much in the way of flavor. Chain restaurant and all. This meet expectations. I was expecting a full plate though, portion was very small.... Also service was really bad, bartender would disappear for what seemed like hours on end then come back deal with new customers, ignore me, then ask if I need anything. Just did not seem to be in the game. Place was not that busy, good thing. Yeah I don't think I will be back. Not worth the hassle or effort. Far better places to eat in Lafayette, LA. read more
