Carrabba's - The Original on Kirby

I grew up loving Carrabbas ; Johnny has maintained a consistent, outstanding combination of great food, great service, comfortable atmosphere , and an above average wine list . A top 3 fave restaurant .

Yep, this is THE family that started the chain, except this is the original restaurant . All the food is kicked up a notch and genuine Italian. Highly recommend the Fried Calamari !

Everything is good, but you can't beat a house salad , pasta Carrabba, death by chocolate and an excellent wine list . Service is always great but I usually sit at the bar , even with a date.

If you're going low budget order mamas chicken soup & house salad . Soup is inexpensive but amazing & their creamy salad dressing is unlike any other and you won't leave feeling guilty.

The ribeye is good! Their grilled chicken is also very moist. They have large portions that one meal may be good for 2. Great Italian restaurant !

Filet w/ Caymus Napa cab by the glass. Cooked perfect. Excellent service (Nadia) as usual.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. Independent of the regular Carrabbas chain, this is the original. Great date place .

Great food and efficient and friendly waiters . Among those I would like to mention Matt who can go an extra mile to make your visit a pleasant experience.

A couple of long time bartenders left, but it’s still a great place. Try the pork chops sometime.

The OG location. Always ask what the special is and make sure you get the salad with their delicious house dressing

Substituted veal for chicken parmigiana . Awesome. Adaptation 2018 Napa Cab. Always sit at the bar .

Great Food! Been going there since the only 2 Carrabba's were the 2 in Houston (Voss and Kirby) - every other Carrabba's is owned by Outback and doesn't shake a STICK at this restaurant ...

The desert is amazing,great service and the food is well cooked and delicious! Definitely should visit .

The lasagna here is really incredible and there's not a better "house" salad anywhere. This is the original Carrabbas , since 1986.

Quite simply one of the best restaurants in Texas.

The ambiance is pleasant and I thought that the house salad and Chicken , Bryan was excellent!

Good service , garage parking is a good alternative to valet. I like house salad and soup . Great herb dipping sauce for hot crusty bread .

The Stuffed Shrimp Mandola is really, really good. And the lentil soup and the calamari are strong choices for appetizer .

Could cut the steak with a fork. Excellent wine list . Perfect dessert wine picked by the bartender .

The Pollo Rosa Maria, Calamari , and Fettuccine Alfredo are all amazing! Best Carraba's!

The lentil sausage soup is large enough for two. You'll want to split it with someone. Plenty of staff to take care of you while you wait for your friends or table.

Try the lasagne with a side salad ! It's delicious! Also, the spiced olive oil that they bring with the bread is amazing! Leave plenty of room, the portions are large!

See, the food is great, but they don't serve gnocchi . It's like the italian must-have! Wine selection and desserts are to die for though.

Love this place. Great service and management. Get the Chicken Bryan Texas...you will be happy you did.

Impeccable service. Very pleasant experience for a busy Easter Sunday. Food well expedited and floor is an organized chaos. Two noms up.

Great place, typical upscale Italian place . Try the Bruschetta Scotty Thompson!

Crab stuffed Shrimp are so good! You can substitute the pasta for grilled veggies .

Veal , spendio de mare, eggplant . Everything. Is amazing. Renovation was perfection

They won't see me here again for anything but their delicious desserts . How can an Italian restaurant not serve gnocchi !? That's like a French restaurant not serving French onion soup ! Great wine .

The fettuccini Alfredo is soooooooooo goooooood. Always crowded ask for George he is the best!!!

The bar had a couple of the best bartenders in the city . Ask for a Salty Dog

I miss the wood fire grilled chicken and garlic mashed potatoes . Please bring it back.

The Chicken Bryan is always delicious !!!! And with good company!! WINNING!!!

For real entertainment, be here when Johnny Carrabba is in the kitchen.

Great gluten free options !

Say the secret phrase " my what a big cannoli you have" for a free appetizer .

Best off menu drink ever - Just ask for Lemoncello straight.

Has to be one of the best Italian restaurant in houston.

Everything!

Good taste, a bit expensive .

I love carrabbas , always good food and service.

Excellent service both valet and wait staff

This Carrabba's is my favorite!!

Caymus cabernet is a must!

Shrimp Scampi !

Sit at the pasta bar , seat #52 & 53 for the best experience!

Great Renovation!

Pasta Weezy and Fried Mozzarella

Avoid the back side alley unless you enjoy the sound of crashing dishes.
