Carrabas Lately?

Has anyone been to Carrabas lately? I read that they have a gluten-free menu, but don't know anyone that has been there.

Please let me know of your experience there. Thanks!

I have had great experiences. The staff is knowledgeable and very accommodating. They will even cook your own pasta for you.

The menu is extensive for a nice restaurant, from a great caesar salad to a drop dead desert.

I highly recommend Carrabas. :D

Thanks Momma Goose. I'm so excited to have one more place to go!

We went about a month ago and had a very good experience. If you're going with kids, find out if they bring dough to the table for the kids to play with. I didn't know they did this and nearly yelled at the waitress to get the plate full of dough and flour away from my daughter. In hindsight, that might have been a bit of an overreaction. :unsure:

We often visit that chain and are very pleased - especially when traveling. They have a GIG menu and are very helpful - we had them cook our own pasta, too. All good experiences. They listen to us about not using their grill (we prefer pans) and not having dairy, too. I often speak to the manager before ordering and have fantastic experiences this way. Wishing you a nice experience....

I love Carrabba's. It's the only sit-down place we go. I always get the Chicken Bryan and the Sicilian Chicken Soup. However, please, please ask the kitchen to double check that the soup doesn't have any pasta that has accidentally fallen in the soup and gone straight to the bottom. Each time, they have thrown out the soup pot, but the damage was already done...cc. It has happened twice to me the last two times we went.

Otherwise, wonderful place and I don't hesitate to go. But double check the soups and enjoy!

Thanks for all the replies! I think we may go this weekend. I love their Caesar Salad and haven't had it since going gluten-free. I have a craving for it and no I'm not preggers, just miss it. :P

Ginghamkim - thanks for the info on the soup. Would not have thought of pasta falling in.

AMQmom- I'm not sure I understand about the pan. Do you ask them to prepare your food in a pan rather than the grill?

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
