Previously the baste used on all grill items had gluten in it. So you'd have to request no grill baste and have your food next to food with lots of grill baste. Carrabbas now has a GF grill baste(they use rice flour) for all the foods. Making a meal much safer. Good work Carrabbas!!
This was a disappointment. This is an Italian grill and many of the menu items are grilled. The problem is the baste they use has gluten; they don't have a dedecated gluten-free grill, so there's a big chance for cross contamination. You should search for non-grilled items. I had Polla Rosa Maria with salad and garlic mash potatoes. I was disappointed with the meal. I expected more flavor from the lemon sauce. The chicken was over cooked...dry and somewhat tough. There aren't many choices in St Augustine, so this might be a choice for a different place to eat. My wife's nongluten-free meal was lackluster ad well.
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.

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