Decorated with family photos of founders Damian Mandola and Johnny Carrabba, the open dining rooms pack groups of friends and extended families into four- and six-person tables and booths; smaller parties or couples can grab stools at the open kitchen's adjoining bar to watch chefs make dinner.

Man this place is good. We have been to a bunch of them and have found all their restaurants to be clean, and friendly. The food has never been less than Outstanding. My wife will get fish, or sometimes veggies or chicken, but me.......it's Steak and its good. I have had Spaghetti and it was very good also. They don't have may favorite vegetable though. That would be candy corn. I can over look that one though. I know food and am not fooled by portion size or glitz and glitter. Save the BS and serve good food at a good Value, and that is what you will get at Carrabba's. OK....wait. There is one thing I don't like about the place. That is the funky olives they put in the salad. What are those things? Anyway if you like great food at a fair price with friendly service thrown in, you will love Carrabba's.
Pros: Always very good.
Cons: Sometimes a long wait, but with call ahead seating it is not too bad.

I'll tell you why - it's cheap, or at least relatively inexpensive. We went to the newly opened Carrabba's at Indian Lake a few weekends ago. I had the 4-cheese ravioli and my guest had the ravioli with chicken and spinach. Neither had much flavor and way too little sauce. I can see it as a great "family restaurant" cause usually the kids aren't too picky. But no way would I wait 90 minutes again for bland food.
Pros: Price only
Cons: The wait, bland food
