What diners say — our read

67% of reviews here touch on how guests are treated, more than any other theme. Where how guests are treated comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.

21 of 21 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 0 are two or lower. Conspicuously absent: price, which no reviewer brings up.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (100/100), nothing cited at the most recent DBPR visit. That inspection was on February 11, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 100% of the restaurants we score. Nothing was written up at that inspection at all.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. Everything above is computed from the 21 reviews reproduced below.

    Excellent meal at Carrabba’s on Vineland last night. Took advantage of $10 take home meal. Food was very good, and the service was out-standing. Janice and Hannah made our night at Carrabba’s.

    This was unexpected but my coworkers and I had such an enjoyable dinner! Our waitress Bri was so delightful. Great personality and natural kindness. After multiple long days working a conference, sometimes you just want a quiet place to just have some nice wine and a solid dinner. Sooo happy we came in. Also, the Super Tuscan by the bottle is delicious. Exactly what we needed!

    We’ve been to many carrabas but this one stands out. The staff, in particular Derek and Alex, were phenomenal but the manager and even the person bringing the food were so personable and on top of refills, more bread etc. this visit really stood out and should be recognized! They even came over to wish a happy Father’s Day. We were torn on going to Disney springs or coming here and so glad we did. Great job!!
