I got the chicken bryan with sautéed broccoli and the chicken soup (no noodles) and it was all pretty good! Nothing stand out spectacular but I didn’t get sick and it was a good portion.

I have eaten here twice. Each time the staff has been knowledgeable about food allergies. I have celiac as well as other food sensitivities and they went above and beyond. The manager on duty revisited with me about my food choices. They bartender visited with me about my drink choices. It’s been 12 hours and no issues. So I also believe they did there job in the kitchen regarding cross contamination. I had the salmon with gf fettuccine on the side and a salad with oil and balsamic vinegar with a yummy prickly pear margarita. Like the rest of you, eating out can be stressful. They lifted the stress away with their attention to my concerns and the delicious food. Will be back to this location.

Great service, the waitress understood about gluten. The gluten free pasta was good and the grilled shrimp yummy. Was there again and the gluten free pasta for me and a friend was wonderful.

Seriously the best Italian food I've had that's gluten free. Server and staff were knowledgeable about GF and cross contamination. The menu was integrated, with explanation of how to make an dish GF, if it wasn't labeled as gf to begin with. My son and I both loved the gluten free pasta and the house salad. I'd be careful if celiac but they did treat us like it was "normal" to be gf. Tons of options to select from.

We went there & I ordered off the gluten free menu. I started eating and had a small beetle crawl out from under my food. Gross! Never going back!

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!
