Wonderful food and the owner/head chef personally remade my food before it left the kitchen since it got contaminated and needed to be celiac. He also came and talked with us later to ensure everything was fine and explained that he has family with celiac and other food related sicknesses and understands the importance. It was delicious and the safest I've felt eating out at a place that is not exclusively gluten free.

I chose the safest thing on the menu I could think of, and had the Italian salad with grilled chicken. I did not get sick afterwards. The waitress just pointed me to the items marked GF in the menu and clearly didn’t understand it’s not as simple as that.

This chain had never been on our ‘celiac’ radar, but we’ve been missing out!! They are super knowledgeable, and almost everything ‘noodle’ on their menu can be made GF (I didn’t ask about the other things as we weren’t eating a non-noodle dish). My daughter got ‘fettuccine’ Alfredo with GF noodles and she said it was amazing! They don’t have GF bread for the oils, but maybe you can bring your own 🤷🏻‍♀

Had the soup and salad. Very friendly staff and made sure my meal was safe! Carrabbas is a go-to of mine while traveling because I seem to always be able to get a safe meal there 👍

I have celiac. Asked for the GF menu. The waitress noticed the menu before I could even say anything about preparation. She went to ask about a drink I wanted to ensure which were GF. When my salad was brought out, the server said, "Here is the GF salad." We had the best experience! The food was fantastic! I highly recommend eating here!

The staff was nice and friendly. They took my allergy seriously. The have a button on their ordering system that automatically makes your whole order gluten free.

I've eaten here many times and feel safe enough.

I always ask for Shavon as our server. Shavon is one of the best servers anywhere! She's worked at this Carrabbas since it opened maybe 14 years ago. She is very familiar with celiac disease and is on top of it for taking care of the customer. For example, when she rings in my food, she puts the "gluten free" note like 6 times! She will also bring us our soups herself as another precaution.

Recently they changed their type of gluten-free pasta here and it's a bowtie pasta that cooks much better than the previous pasta.

A side of alfredo sauce doesn't cost extra. I sometimes ask for this for my broccoli.

Just ate here a few days ago. Very disappointed. When my plate arrived there was hardly any pasta on the plate. Maybe a quarter cup? Not cool when the entree is $24.99 for chicken. I should have said something but we waited so long for our food I didn’t want to hold up the rest of my party. They also changed the gf pasta to bowties. The other gf pasta was much better in my opinion. In addition, we watched the cook wash off the grill with pasta water. Ugh! Not sure I want to go back.

Carrabbas was one of my favorite places to eat before my celiac diagnosis. I was so excited to find out that many items on their menu are labeled gluten free. Even my favorite menu items! They did sub in gluten free pasta with their Alfredo for me and the pasta was over cooked and pasta sauce was incredibly bland BUT honestly I have never gone there for their pasta. I lean towards their steak and chicken dishes.
