Carrabba's is a chain that I've only experienced in NC. Spending the weekend with friends, this was the lunch choice on Sunday. We were a party of 6 and were greeted with smiles by the hostesses and seated immediately. The dining room was not full to capacity, but was certainly bustling.
Our waiter was very attentive and I don't think my iced tea was ever more than 3/4 empty at any given time during our meal. The menu was varied and the portions were really huge, especially for lunchtime. I couldn't finish my chicken, pasta and tomato cream sauce dish! The bread was warm with a nice crispy crust and the salad was composed of very fresh greens.
My experience here has been consistent, which is rare at best in some of these chain restaurants....so Huntersville, my hats' off to ya!
