Carrabba's Italian Grill - Fayetteville

Inept Staff Slow Service Cold (and bad) Food We arrived at Carrabba's at 4:45pm on a Sunday, they weren't terribly busy and as such we were able to get a seat within 5 minutes of walking in the door. It took 15 minutes for the waiter to get to our table to take our drink order, another 10 minutes for him to bring the drinks (two bottled beers and a water) then another 10 minutes for him to come back and get our appetizer order. We didn't see our waiter for another 20 30 minutes for our entrée order, and our appetizer still had not yet arrived. At this point, we've been sitting at Carrabba's for just over an hour (now 5:05pm) and our food had finally arrived! Nice! or so we thought. The steak that I had ordered wasn't at all the right item I ordered (I ordered a 10oz medium sirloin, got a 6oz well done sirloin instead). My colleague had ordered the Chicken Parmesan which came out cold. My steak was luke warm at best and wasn't cooked properly. It's at this time that our appetizer made an appearance; we sent it back because we now had our entrée. The restaurant never got too busy (see my photos). So if you want to waste 1h to 1h 30m of your time on overpriced mediocre food, stop by Carrabba's!

Usually I love Carrabas. I come here for my birthdays. Tonight we had family visiting and decided to come here and the whole experience was just bad. We showed up at 830 to a mostly empty restaurant but still had to stand and look at all the empty tables for 15 minutes before being seated. Then after ordering drinks and 2 appetizers, got drinks, then placed dinner orders, then got salads and still no appetizers. After complaining ewe were told the fryer was down and the appetizer guy was new. Another member of our party waited ten minutes for a beer refill. Finally the appetizers came as we were getting our meals and the calamari was not even cooked all the way. Barely better than raw. Now this is not a normal visit but they were really off tonight.

This was my first time coming to this location. It's very nice and clean on the inside. We were greeted warmly by the young lady and gentlemen by the front door. We were promptly seated in our booth with no wait time. Leah was our server and she was very nice and friendly. We were immediately served the warm bread and the dipping olive oil and seasonings smelled so good and tasted amazing. We ordered the four cheese and sausage stuffed mushrooms appetizer, the Johnny Trio with a house salad with ranch, the chicken bryan with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli, and a caesar salad, the traditional cannoli for dessert, a sweet tea, sangria, moscato and water. The food is absolutely delicious and tastes amazing. Everything was nice and hot, cooked and seasoned perfectly. The moscato is perfect and sweet like I like it. The sangria is very good as well. We were so full by the time dessert came. I was only able to take a couple of bites before we asked for a to go box. I would highly recommend coming here. It's worth it. We will back to try other items on the menu. ????

The Linguine Pescatore was delicious as always. My muscles were closed and I had to pry them open with my fingers. Flavor was amazing, this is my go to meal. My salad was not fresh, lettuce was brown and slimy on pieces.

The eggplant parmesan did not have any sauce or pasta. Im not sure what happened there. But I usually enjoy this place whenever I go, so it could have been an honest mistake.
