Our server had no knowledge of gluten free food. My daughter wanted pasta with sauce. suggested whole grain pasta as an option. I hopped online since the menu did not indicate what sauces were GF, but that was not accurate. After 3 or 4 trips back to the kitchen we settled on GF pasta with pomodoro which was good enough and does not seem to have made her sick.

Mama mandolins chicken soup without pasta is delicious. They have GF pasta as well. Staff, kitchen and owners are very knowledgeable and careful.

Updated: I’d eaten there a few times since my DX but I found a pile of pasta under my food and was sick for weeks sooo......

Staff was very helpful and kind when I mentioned I had celiac and needed the food to be gluten free. I had the gluten free pasta (the rigatoni martino) and a caesar salad without croutons and didn't get sick.

I eat here regularly and have never gotten sick on any of their gluten free dishes. Chicken Bryan is my favorite with sautéed spinach.

We have eaten here several times, even ordered take out with no problems! This is one of few restaurants we trust to be safe for my husband, who has celiac disease. Many items on menu are gluten free and staff very knowledgeable about gluten and celiac.

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.

The salmon and GF pasta with the Tomato-basil-garlic sauce was great! Also the steak, mashed potatoes, and veggies are all delish!
