For 40 years, Carrabba’s The Original has been a family owned and operated neighborhood restaurant at the heart of Houston. Since opening the first location on Kirby Drive in 1986, followed by a secon…
Love the food and service is exceptional! Love Love the herbs, and olive oil, could make a meal with that and the bread! The only negative thing I have to say the last time I was at the restaurant I ordered Pasta Carrabba to go and they didn't include the salad and all their meals come with a salad, so I feel a little short changed. I will go back though!

The "Chicken Bryan" NEVER disappoints! The chicken breast is juicy, and grilled to perfection. What makes this dish so special is the addition of the creamy goat cheese and the sun dried tomatoes added on top. The 2 flavors compliment each other so well. And of course Carrabba's fettuccini alfredo is the best in Houston in my opinion, so it is the perfect side to this dish!

I ordered Grilled Chicken Breast which was decent the chicken was okay and mash potatoes were bland. I also ordered the Scampi Damian it was SO fishy the shrimp really stunk up and I ate one shrimp and wanted to vomit the fettuccine noodles with it was very gritty in texture. Lastly I ordered the Cappelletti and it was alright but way too sweet and rich you can't eat more than 3-4 bites. The salad with the two pastas weren't good at all. Wouldn't order again oh and they forgot my bread with dipping oil! I spent $100 on all this. Just very disappointing.

$37.83 for less than a lunch portion of Alfredo! I understand the DoorDash inflated price but I'd expect to receive the regular portion. I love the original Carrabbas and so disappointing to order a birthday meal for my mom and receive this. I'm sure the taste will be up to their high standards.

Their veal is outstanding, together with the salad and asparagus was a great, light dinner. I am never disappointed with Carabbas Original on Voss. I ordered the Dessert Rosa for my son to have tomorrow. He loves it.
