My family goes here every Christmas Eve and a few times during the year. Every time the service has been great and the food fresh and tasty! I would definitely recommend this Carabbas to anyone! Favorite dish is the Tag Pic Pac with chicken. Others in my family really enjoy the sirloin Marsala. And for dessert you really cannot go wrong!

Went there last night 9/10/11 with a party of 10 for my oldest daugher's Birthday Dinner. The was told it would be a 30 minute wait for a table. No problem. Checked on status and the hostess noding towards the table, said when the 2 guys there are finished, they'd buss it and we'd be seated. No worries. The 2 left and they began busing. Then a couple sat down at the table for 10. I ask the hostess about the couple. Not to worrie she said, they'd be moving. Well they didn't and was told by the hostess that they were ask to move and offered a number of other tables but refused. I ask for the manager who had obvisouly already been involved, agreed to the sequence of events that they would not move and said they were getting us another table as fast as they could. We had young children among hour group and had already been waiting about 30 minutes and of coruse they were getting restless. I confronted the couple myself who were just rude and just did not care that they had cut the line and put us out. Finally we got our table about 20 minutes later. We waited a long time and finally the salads came, then within 5 minutes, the main courses. The folks who brought out the main courses were surprised we had just received our salads. A scuffle to rearrange things on the table to hold all the food. All and all a very poor experience. The food was ok, but not great. Service was so-so. But the biggest fault I have to give to the manager who needed to tell the couple that said at a table for 10 that they would simply have to move, not an option. I will never go to Carrabba's in Frederick again and likely won't visit other Carrabba's because the name just now leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I thankfully was able to avoid food poisoning! The pasta weesie I ordered had bad shrimp.They were so horrible I can not believe they would serve them. I had to ask for the manager twice. Finally he took the dish off our bill but we will not be going back there.

We had dinner here last Saturday evening and we were greeted nicely at the door...However after a long wait at the bar and then to be seated we waited forever for our server to finally come to the table....then to my dismay our parties around us were getting bread served before us and seated after us....so we waited patiently for our server to finally get our bread to us after our salad had been served....Now my spagetti was very cold and since I had waited for over 10 min for the server to check on our food it was another 15 minutes to get my food WARM....so I would not likely return there anytime SOON!



Thanks,
