Our server(a younger, tall, black gentleman, my husband and I can not remember his names all, for this review, to give him props) he was so personable and attentive, he watched us, which my daughter felt awkward about it, but i assured her that he did it to make sure that when anything needed refilled, or taken away or suggested, he was immediately available. The food was fantastic, everyone was efficient. The manager was scanning the room making sure guests were attended to promptly. My only weird thing I thought was sort of off was the guy on the back side of the wall who was maybe the cook/grill guy? He just looked disheveled, his curly hair was unkept, falling out of his baseball cap, his shirt was unbuttoned, like a short order cook at a diner. Kind of a greasy presentation, which as soon as you walk in, there he is, bam. For such a nice establishment, he just kind of throws it off. I am 100% sure he is the genius behind the food. But, honestly, outside of that, which I'm probably the only one who noticed it, and it should be ignored, everything was spectacular, it's was an upscale experience. read more

I cannot believe what a change in this restaurant l. Definitely the last time we'll be back. You work hard and spend your money, a lot, when eating out these days and you don't have a dish you can finish. It's completely disappointing. Our server was very nice and attentive and I relayed this to him while assuring it has nothing to do with him, just to let someone know. Things have changed inside and you can tell. Wont be back and would not recommend. read more

It has been a while since my last visit. Today was very delightful. Our server, Brett was great. The wife and I decided to try the lunch trio. I had the shrimp scampi & lentil sausage soup. Wife had the meatballs and ricotta & Sicilian chicken soup. And we both had the Caesar salad. From the complementary bread, soups, a salad to include the small plates, everything is very tasty and served nice and hot or cold. The trio lunch is a perfect light lunch that is actually very filling. The ambiance has a very relaxing and quiet. Keep up the great work. read more

I order from this restaurant roughly about every 10 days. Whether it's Door Dash or curbside. Today was all the similar patterns with this place. Always forgetting something with my order. Pretty consistent of missing the grated cheese. I put on my comments on the order to have extra. When the curbside gentlemen brought my check I asked again to make sure I have extra cheese. He confirmed all was good. Brought out my food and nope no cheese. Walked in to get it. Then also as simple as a straw with my drink. Walked backed in and asked to speak to a manager. She was useless. Gave me some AI response well thank you and it's a coaching moment. I said with the same gentlemen who is always at curbside. When is he going to get it? Then she didn't hear me when I said I just need the straw now not the cheese. I added nothing else to say and she walked away. When you spend your money that you work hard for, it's the simple things that would make a difference. Finally, I live roughly 5 minutes away and when I got home to eat what I purchased it was cold. So to say I am so frustrated is an under statement. read more

Carraba's Italian Grill may very well be the worst restaurant's my family and I have tried since moving to Murfreesboro. Honestly was not expecting the food to be so bad based on their reviews but unfortunately we were all disappointed. They appeared to be somewhat similar to a Johnny Carino's that I used to love back in CA, not sure if they have any affiliation. Based on the huge difference in food quality I'd say otherwise. Now I'm not sure if it's just this location but whoever is cooking the food is VERY salt happy. Almost every item we tried was just overly salty and hard to consume. My husband and I got the mozzarella marinara for appetizer, my sister and her husband ordered the classic combination. Everything was salty. The guys had agreed to eat the calamari since us ladies don't eat seafood but they didn't even want to touch it after a couple bites because the breading was too salty. Same thing for the breading on the mozzarella sticks, a little burned and wayyy too salty. The cheese filling was good though. For our main dish my husband and I decided to share the fettuccine Carraba and the Alfredo sauce was, again, very salty. We did also order the garlic bread tower to go along with our meal, my husband said it was too salty for him. We would have ordered dessert since some of the items they offer sound appetizing but honestly after the letdown from everything else, we decided against it. Honestly whoever is working the kitchen needs to severely cut down on the amount of salt they use. It's horrendously un-appetizing. We did tell our waiter, Brett M., that everything was salty and all he did was offer an apology. Definitely won't be coming back here ever again and I would strongly recommend for no one else to waste their money at this establishment. Would be 0 stars from me if that were an option! read more

While we love Carrabbas , the location in Murfreesboro is ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC! 3 of our last 4 visits have been beyond horrible, slow service, inexperienced wait staff, cold food, just issue after issue. I am guessing i will either go to a Carrabba's in another area or go to Amerigos. . This place is ridiculous! read more

I have ordered Carrabba's for my mother on two separate Mother's Days and they both were extremely disappointing. If you order a family meal for a holiday, I hope you are a family of mice, because that's what the portions will be able to feed. You'd be better off going to Fazoli's, and I HATE Fazolis. Don't expect to get enough penne to be able to feed even two people when you order it with the family meal, because they will give you a portion that could maybe feed one person and they'll actually be satisfied. Maybe they should switch to dine in only because at least then you could complain to your server and maybe get more food. All I can do is write a review online and be hungry while I wait for my pizza to be delivered because Carrabba's messed this up so badly. read more

We were able to be seated immediately with a party of 10 on a Friday night which was amazing! Our server was so friendly, I wish I had gotten her name. She did a great job! We had a wide array of foods ordered and there was not one error in our food coming out. Props to the kitchen. Healthy portions and everything tasted great. read more

The food itself is decent. That's the only positive I can give. What concerns me is the environment and cleanliness. During multiple visits, I observed staff behavior that made me uncomfortable and raised serious health concerns. * Employees appeared impaired while working * Vapes and drug-related items were left near tables and food areas * Staff repeatedly disappeared into the back room for long stretches * Unsanitary items were visible near food prep spaces * The kitchen and back-of-house areas did not appear clean or well managed Whether this is poor supervision or a breakdown in standards, the result is the same. It does not feel safe or sanitary. When you're serving food to the public, cleanliness and professionalism are not optional. They are basic expectations. I will not be returning, and I would strongly encourage management to address staff oversight, hygiene, and overall restaurant safety before someone gets sick. read more

We went in expecting an Olive Garden level experience as this was our first visit to a Carrabba's. The food was excellent and the portion sizes were fantastic. We tried numerous entrees, but the chicken parm was the best. I would probably order the chicken parm and the linguine pasta between two people and split the dishes. The side pasta for the chicken parm was mediocre to the other pasta dishes. Our server was polite and very friendly. When we asked to be seated in a full booth, they were happy to accommodate. Very clean restaurant and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. read more

I walked in and wasn't greeted by the host, she was texting . I asked her was she ok because she didn't speak or greet me and she kinda scoffed and said yeah. I said well I'll be sure to let the manager know and she said, I'll go get her for you . The manager came out and we had a nice talk. I told her I've been dining At Carrabbas for over 20 years and I've never been treated this way and that I might call corporate. She assured me that she would talk to the hostess, she wasn't hosting when I left. My server was Jasmine and she was great , very attentive. As far as the food, the chicken was very small and the portion didn't look dinner size at all . The fettuccine was very dry and I asked for more sauce and I didn't get it until it was time to go and my chicken was almost gone. I didn't like the setup of this location , it had a cafe or ihop feel, not a restaurant. read more

We had a wonderful experience at this location! Our sever was very attentive. The food came out as ordered and tasted fresh. Look at how bright the tomatoes are in the photo of the appetizer! Beautiful! I definitely overindulged for this this being a lunch meal and needless to say, there were leftovers. I highly recommend the seasonal dessert with the berries and pound cake. It disintegrates in your mouth and is a lighter dessert for this time of year. We will definitely return to this location for another pleasant dining experience. I love good food coupled with excellent service. That's hard to say no to. read more

It has been several years since I dine in Carrabba's. As I could remember I usually don't have a problem with my food or service. But this last visit on a Friday afternoon after the lunch rush hours. I just didn't feel like my food was up to par. Service was slow getting our entree food out, no biggie we weren't in a rush. We ordered appetizers and our side salad with some bread pretty much filled us up. My asparagus was burnt chicken was ok. We also ordered the linguine pasta. Tasted bland with little sauce. We took home the $10 special. Chicken Parmesan was so much better. read more

Food wasn't that good. Came out luke warm but that's most likely because our heavy set blonde server took a smoke break and came back smelling like marijuana so hurray for cold food. The chef kept swiping his nose and scratching in his hair...not something you wanna see the people preparing your food do. Definitely won't be coming back to this location. Server only checked on us ONCE btw. Visit was 04/11/2024... read more

Dinner at Carrabba's in Murfreesboro has been hit/miss, and sadly with more miss. Seems management has been working on improving the quality of the food coming from the kitchen and it showed. Love their Happy Hour...discounted drinks and many appetizers half-price. Sitting at the bar, I had the pleasure of Abby taking care of me and she did an excellent job. She went to get me some of their warm bread with the olive oil and seasonings for dipping. The bread was hot out of the oven and was soooooo good. I started with the Tomato Caprese appetizer, everything was fresh, balsamic and olive oil complimented nicely, but to me the mozzarella was a bit bland. For dinner went with the soup Mama Mandola's Sicilian Chicken Soup and the Lobster Ravioli. The soup really surprised me and would be something I would love to grab a quart of and take home...it was really that good. The Lobster Ravioli was delicious, the pasta perfectly Al-dente, and the white wine cream sauce did not overpower the dish. Overall a solid meal, and the service Abby provided was awesome. read more

The waiter and most of the food others got was good. The eggplant Parm I got was pretty awful. It was overcooked on the outside and full of grease on the inside.
