- We ate the most expensive steak at Carrabba's Italian Grill, the Tuscan Grilled Ribeye, with garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach ($34.99). We also ordered the Linguine Pescatore ($24.99), Pepperoni Pizza ($15.99), and Classics Combination appetizer ($16.49).

Thoughts on Carrabba's Italian Grill? What looks good on the menu?
Carrara's has lost its quality
Nothing
I love their chicken marsala with extra mushrooms & extra sauce, and asparagus. They put a splash of lemon in the sauce to really brighten it up
OMG that steak looked like dog food.......I'd rather make my own!
I didn't know they still existed.
Even if that first steak was "medium" (which it wasn't), it still looked weird. Looked like a dog chewed on it already.
Very dissapointing the kitchen would send closed mussels out . Both entrees looked mediocre at best . Thanks for the review Derrick and Catherine. Have a wonderful week coming up .
Should have sent it back.
Steak Looked Horrible
It is a mediocre chain restaurant.
@@horseplop9I agree
The package on the mussels we use literally say they're already cooked and suggest the customer open it themselves with their cutlery or something along the lines of that.
I like how you guys review both high end and every day casual restaurants. I enjoy them all!
I’d hate to see what their well done steak looks like! 😂
Shoe leather.
Good video. Didn't realized that you shouldn't eat unopened cooked shellfish; surprised the kitchen sent it out like that. In my opinion, seafood has a delicate taste and tomato sauces smother it. I learned my lesson years ago when I ordered a seafood dish with pasta and tomato sauce in San Diego, CA. Take care.
Thanks for your honesty, as always 😊
I hate sending food back and usually suck it up, but if I'm paying $35 for it, it's definitely going back. I'd give this restaurant 6.5/10
Luv'd this one for sure. A true visit with good expectations turns into a train wreak...Bravo! The look on each of your faces is priceless..
What a disappointment. so many chain restaurant places are like this. I enjoy the honest review.
Catherine, you are a delight. The look on your face says it all. I agree that seeing those closed mussels would have made me afraid to eat the dish. Bad seafood can be really dangerous. This place would be a hard pass for me.
Thank you for the review. I am never going to eat here
Can't believe you didn't send the pasta back
Yes that should’ve went back as well
Great review !! Thanks for sharing the experience there. Pizza and cake looked like the best options !! Have a great Sunday !! 👍👍❤
You spent a lot of money for the entire meal. Catherine’s plate should have been sent back. Who wants to pay for tough mealy shrimp and 3 mussels you can’t eat. The entire meal didn’t look great. I have never been there, but looking at your meal…I don’t think I would go. Love your videos! 😊
Yeah I would've asked for a manager because mussels should be Open
If I were ordered Linguine Pescatore, it came like that I got dead mussels and overcooked shrimp.would advise the manager, have them offer something else or take it off the bill.
Ok I'm not one to complain but the appetizers looked better than the meals Catherines meal was just pitiful I love you guys ❤️
That steak looks like it's suffering from hunger
I don’t care what they said about their “medium” Medium is is universally warm, pink center. Mussels / I’ve had the mussels at Carrabbas several times. I complained about the closed mussels and the manager said all their mussels are pasteurized. However that doesn’t resolve the closed shells issue and how to open them. In Vegas for locals I still like the Bootlegger best.
The rib eye , looks like the tongue of an old boot i tossed out . Mac Donalds has nothing to worry about.
I never had the pizza but it looks great! They also have the best complimentary bread it's really good
Yes , I was waiting for them to show the bread service .
Sad looking food. That’s why I like to cook at home. 👍
I will say approximately 15 years ago. Carrabba‘s was the place to go, but over the years the food has gotten I don’t want to say horrible but not that great. I gave Carrabba‘s overall from a 1 to 10 about a six today. I don’t even bother going I don’t think it’s worth the money at all, I used to love the bread at Carrabba‘s and I don’t even think they have that anymore. They give you a fraction of what they used to. It’s really went downhill. I totally agree 100% with both of your assessments. Don’t know if I’d go up in the seven or eight categorybut I agree wholeheartedly anyway❤
Send that steak back and same for the linguini. Catherine and Derek you deserve more for the price
Agreed. That was sad looking food
I don't consider Pizza to be an appetizer especially if you eat two or three slices but that pizza looks very good
First side of beef looked like it had an exit wound
Wow those prices, I don't remember it being that high in alabama, lol
That looks like the steak you would get for a Death Row last meal.
I think the inmates get a better quality piece of beef
I often go there and get the calamari with the garlic aioli, superb combo! Pair that with a bowl (huge serving) of Mama's Sicilian chicken soup and you've got a very delicious and filling meal. No need for a main course if you eat both of those :)
You guys are fantastic as always.
I think you need to send the steak back and ask for Medium as the prices are high and you should not have to pay for a meal that doesn't please you. Glad you sent it back. The steak didn't look grilled properly like a steakhouse. Catherine's shrimp is overdone as well, they should have grilled it and put ontop of the pasta, same as the scallops. hmmm, they should have done better for you guys. Prices nowadays, plus tax, plus 20% tip can sure add up to a lot. Glad you reviewed this restaurant. I think I will skip it.
I would not have eaten that seafood pasta with those closed mussels…. They pretty much sautéed the pasta with multiple dead shellfish….
I think you should take Catherine to Jack in the Box after that Carrabbas meal. Her seafood looked pitiful
Caesar salad with a squeeze of lemon is da bomb
Derek and Catherine I just love you food videos!! I never miss one. Catherine you look like you have lost weight!!
Catherine should have sent hers back, too .
There's no love in the pasta mussel dish. They didn't even bother to make sure they were all open.
That ribeye looked disappointing
You didn't eat the fresh baked bread with EVOO, herbs, and parmesan cheese?
my visit to Carrabba's was basically i mirror image of yours. my steak was ordered medium,and it arrived D.O.A.....Dead on arrival. like eating leather.i will say they at least served a cold soft drink. that's the most positive thing i can say about this 3rd rate chain.
Derek and Catherine, that first steak looked like something the cat dragged in. And serving closed mussels is a no-no.
I love watching yall
Thanks for the heads up.
Will not waste my money there !
Looks like you both have lost weight. Great job with a food channel! Thank you for the video.
The steak looks like it was tenderized by running over it with snow tires.
That’s a Definite No No for your Entree to have closed Mussels on the plate served to you. These Meals looked Mediocre at Best.
Thanks Derek and Catherine!
It would be nice if they closed permanently.
You know I love you both, this was a cool review. Look, I was like NO WAY until they redeemed themselves with the cake. It's hard to believe they trotted that first steak out to you like that! Honest, what these chain restaurants won't try to pass off as "good" is ridiculous. The second steak looked so much better, somebody in that kitchen was lazy with the first one. It all seemed overpriced to me. Catherine's entre seemed pretty bad, the app looked like the best thing you had, the app and the pizza. I'm totally cool with the pizza at 15.99, that looked really good and it seemed that you enjoyed it more than anything. $17 for the app, yea, wow, I don't know. Between the two of you the bill was around $130 with tip? Wow, what you had simply didn't seem worth what you paid. A trip to Denny's would have been better! Honest, a steak at IHOP, or Cracker Barrel would have been better. AWESOME REVIEW. Keep rockin it Derek and Catherine.
I don't even wanna know what they did to your second steak!
I was trying to figure out how they cooked the steak. Was it steamed or boiled?
They probably didn't thaw the steak enough
No sear at all.
That steak looks like Ghandi’s flip flop
Stopped patronizing them several years ago after a very abrupt decline in service and quality. They won’t be in business much longer here in Southwest Florida.
You should have tried the Lentil and Sausage Soup. It's usually not on the menu, but it's available all the time there ! It's "Fantastic" !
Personally, I think that you guys get more of your money's worth when you eat at the buffets.......They may cost a bit more, but look at the amount of food you get to devour........Some of these restaurants think that they are so perfect in cooking meals and get BENT out of shape if anyone complains.........Great video as always, Catherine and Derek........Luv you guys.....
Go to the original carabbas in Houston it’s owned by the family still
I have tried Carrabbas a few times and have decided to never go back. Too many other chains that do a nice job.
great review ,the food looked pretty good ,i thank you for the great review
For $35, they should be able to hit Medium.
I would say Carrabba's is a solid chain Italian Restaurant. I've been there twice but didn't have the problems that you had. Though I didn't order the steak. Thanks for the honest review.
I most definitely would've sent the seafood pasta back as soon as I noticed the clams unopened. They could have contaminated the whole dish and made her sick. Plus, it is unacceptable for any dining establishment to put their own spin on an industry standard such as the cooking temp of a steak. You went there expecting the normal med with the warm pink center, and they sent out an almost well done. On top of that, it looked like they let a dog chew on it before cooking it. The cook and the expediter both should be 86'd pronto for allowing both dishes to go out like that. Shame on them.
wow Derek, you ate so many zucchinni appetizer~! good cheese pull on the mozz app. Also, I could see that the mussels were open on the seafood dish. Also, I think if there are closed mussels in the dish you shouldn't eat any of the rest of the dish. Also, the cake looked really nice. I just watched a video where someone made the Ricardo sauce that comes with the calamari. I think you need to go back and try the calamari with Ricardo sauce. You can make some Desi and Lucy jokes!
I am bummed that you had a bad experience. Carrabba's is one of my favorite chain restaurants but I have never had the entrees you had. My favorite thing is the chicken marsala. It's so darn good. The chicken soup I've had at other locations generally has a kick. (Florida and KY) It seems your sever is a bit of a jerk because that first steak was definitely "well" done.
One closed mussel and the entire dish gets sent back and if I order a med steak I expect a medium steak by restaurant standards NOT whatever their standards are…..
Good review. I have been to Carrabba's and am not a big fan.
You should go to Joes Prime Steak and stone crab in Caesars Forum Shops. Get a steak there, the Filet or bone in Ribeye. Be sure to order the Carb Bisque soup, Lyonaise Potatoes and Lobster Mac and Cheese. Finish off with Key Lime Pie and Bananas Cream Pie.
I highly suggest you get a steamed King Crab Leg also, even though they are really expensive. The Joes mustard sauce goes really well with it even though the crab by itself is fantastic.
Catherine never goes ga-ga over any of her dishes. Very strange.
Steak temps don't vary by restaurant. That was very clearly well done and the server acted like you didn't know. Absolutely not ok. Also the close muscles are a big no no too. It could make you sick.
*closed mussels
Overall, the pizza looked the best. Pasta so so and the steak was definitely overcooked. Steak the second time was more medium than medium rare so that means you have to order your steak one down to get what you want.
Surprised that they can't get the steak temp correct
I would not spend my hard earn money at this place…Thanks for saving me a trip there.
It looks like Tads in NYC long ago
Thanks for the review. Seemed like a somewhat disappointing meal which I am not surprised. The Linguine Pescatore has been one of my favorite entrees at Carrabba’s for the longest time. But the last time I had it, the seafood portion was reduced and the pasta portion increased. I too have encountered that unopened mussels issue with this entree. I am not surprised they messed up the first steak either. Many of these chain restaurants are a hit or miss. Some days it’s a good meal, most days it is not.
What was the spiral on the steak at 19:42?
I hope you guys are alright. Bad seafood is nothing to play with..
🐞I was interested in the sautéed spinach. Thanks. 🐞
It may be a chain but I have never really had a bad dinner at Carrabba’s
your a great couple i enjoyed watching you guys felt like i was sitting with you and like i know you great job do more please
I never heard of a restaurant claiming that the temperature is differently cooked from what the industry standard is. Sounds like a pure excuse. You don't order a steak and get a pork shop because that's what the restaurant would call it.
That steak should be free!
The pizza looked good as an appetizer. I hate Olive Garden but have found it tastes better in the States. I probably won't try this place. Thanks for the review.
You guys would have been better off going to the Olive Garden for much cheaper. Good Review, thanks! 👍
I definitely agree with the chilled salad plates! A few months ago we went out for a fancy bday dinner and the place also served a chilled fork. Ive never in my life been given a chilled fork!
Was this Crabas restaurant in LA or Vegas?
Vegas
Carrabbas considered that steak medium? Wow! And I would consider that second steak Medium! if I ever get that dish I will ask for rare! And I can’t believe that seafood dish went out with dead mussels!
My man is tearing up them zucchini...lol
Carrabba’s and Olive Garden are the Shoneys of italian restaurants
There was nothing good looking except for the chicken soup. I would have sent it all back. Got my coat on. And sent a review to the main office. How disappointing.
It's been a while since I've watched and commented!! Love you two and Catherine, you look amazing young lady!! ❤ I've never eaten there yet, but a lot of people I've talked to always go for the seafood!! I love seafood! Yes i agree with one of the comments. Catherine should've sent that dish back!! Once i watched the entire video, i thought to myself, i don't know if i want to go to this place now. Derek had to send his steak back and Catherine's dish didn't look appetizing at all!! Everyone puts Carraba's on a pedistol!! 😊❤😊
Steak...For Sunday Morning..You are awesome..
Haven’t been to Carrabas in many years. It once was affordable. Not so much now, it seems. Quality. As I recall, was better than what you experienced.
And it’s not “blood”. Meat exudes myoglobin.
It looks like someone took that steak and threw it against a wall then backed over it with their car. Definitely will not be eating here.
The food looks subpar
Thanks for sharing guys ! Guy’s looking a bit thinner . Looking good guys !
That seems more of a fast food grill bar with blown up prices , not a proper Italian restaurant.
DEREK AND CATHERINE THE FOOD LOOK DELICIOUS TOO
Hell no, that was not medium! 3 closed mussels. I will pass on this restaurant. Thank you!
Won't be headed to Carrabba's any time soon 🤢.
"That is medium here at Carrabba's" bullsh*t
Forget this restaurant. Derek is looking younger with every new video.
I guess it varies from place to place
I've never had a bad mussel there love them
That looks so good !
