What diners say — our read

There is no middle ground in these 20 reviews. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 4.4 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (16 of 20). 18 of 20 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 2 are two or lower. No one in this corpus comments on the state of the room at all.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (97/100), 3 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. The visit behind that grade was June 3, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 72% of the Orange County restaurants we grade.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    I feel really bad saying this as my server was nice I still left twenty percent but my experience was bad initial service was good but after that I was left when I mentioned this and waiting for pasta was long . I sat along time and a few other weren’t happy it wasn’t packed so not sure what was going on . I was there a few hours . The manager offered free desert after that my server came and he’s polite but maybe had too many tables I waited I had to ask another server for the bill and he left the machine with me I figured it out paid my bill found pen in my bag and gave him back as he was serving another table the card machine . People were nice but service was so so slow and my pasta honestly was really awful tasting I couldn’t taste the sausage . Normally I feel bad to leave a comment but if people weren’t nice I wouldn’t have paid and sadly that’s the truth I don’t know what happened tonight but honestly it was probably the worst I’ve had in years as in slow and bad dinner the check thing sorting it out myself wasn’t nice . A couple at the bar didn’t have a nice time either . 😢

    Not busy on Sunday morning. We had party of 7 for birthday celebration and the service was outstanding.

    What a great experience for a change. Great service, great food, and quick waiting time for food. Love the bread, and the chicken marsala is amazing, although I think the marsala sauce was different, but the creamy one they used to have, and only 4 mushrooms. All in all it was great, just disappointed in the marsala sauce

    Natalie was the best! Wonderfully attentive without being interruptive. She helped us have a lovely birthday celebration.

    I had my first experience at Carrabba's in Orlando recently and it was phenomenal. I had the chicken with lemon and capers, it was so good. Fresh, hot and such a wonderful flavor. The service was great. I will be back.

    Ordered takeout. Food was great!

  • June 14, 2026

    This was me and my bf’s first time in a carrabbas, Natalie was so attentive and communicated with us at every point possible. She was so personable and handled the busyness with her whole chest. Thank you for everything. Our date night was wonderful with you! Shout out to the whole staff, we watched them work together and the food was delicious so literally every hand did a fantastic job. That peach cobbler was fan freaking tastic too Edit: NATALIE BABE I HOPE YOU GOT YOUR 2 DESSERTS CAUSE THE KNICKS WON BABBBYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! (Don’t worry I didn’t buy a pack of ciggies❤️)

    Ali provided outstanding service from start to finish! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. His professionalism, positive attitude, and attention to detail truly stood out. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, and his excellent customer service made our meal even more enjoyable. If you have the opportunity to be served by Ali, you’re in great hands. Thank you, Ali, for such exceptional service! 👏😊

    We have dined at Carrabbas many times. Natalie, our server, is a wonderful complement to the experience. She does act like a friend or cousin & is very thoughtful.

    Kevin was my server and he was excellent! The food was amazing and Steven the manager was very pleasant. I love the environment and the music creates an excellent atmosphere. Overall great experience. If I could leave 10 stars I would.

    Natalie made our visit to Carrabba’s an absolute delight! From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly warm, kind, and delightful. She has that rare gift of making guests like us feel like old friends rather than transactional customers. Her positive energy, genuine smile, and attentive service turned a simple dinner into a truly enjoyable experience. She anticipated our needs, checked on us at just the right times, and made the entire evening feel effortless and fun. Carrabba’s is fortunate to have someone as wonderful as Natalie on their team. Great food is always appreciated, but exceptional hospitality is what makes us want to come back—and Natalie delivered that in abundance. Thank you for making our night so memorable!

    Everything is great about Carrabba's but the price is quite high. They give ALOT of food so it makes sense that they chare so much. I would believe more people would like to pay less and have slightly smaller portions. I split the chicken piccatta with my wife and we enjoyed it.

    always a lovely time with very attentive staff

    Maria was amazing and knew a lot about upcoming events. Will be back

    I asked Steven Hayes how he manages to consistently hire such great people at his restaurant. The obvious answer is that work ethic, good attitude and excellent service starts at the top, ie the management. I have been at this location several times and have observed Mr. Hayes working with his staff. His method of leadership seems to be working!!

  • May 27, 2026

    Ali was our server, and I’d give him a perfect 10 out of 10. We haven’t been to Carrabba’s in years. He walked us through all the great gluten free options, and we absolutely loved our meals. Thank you Ali (not sure of spelling) for providing such a great experience.

    Great lunch -

  • May 19, 2026

    Update: You asked to me contact you at the address below. I did. Your email reply said a GM would call me. He it is weeks later and Nothing..!!!! IMAGINE THAT, A company that doesnt care about their customer and doesnt follow threw and only wants to take my money and pretend they are.......!!!! The service was Horriable at Best. Our food took forever to get. Management needs to evaluate being under staffed. Because the workers where doing what they could with the people they had. We probably won't be back because of the Horriable service. You know it's horrible when a manager doesnt come around and ask how everything was. Because they already know. You lost a regular customer.
