Closest Carrabbas Restaurant to BCV?

[disneygal55]

We have a Carrabbas gift card which we would like to use during our October trip to WDW. Our local one closed without much warning over a year ago and there are none close by anymore.
We would like to redeem it if there is one fairly close to BCV...we are renting a car so travel isn't an issue as long as its not too far away. Does anybody know if there is one nearby?
I've looked at the locations on the website but don't know where these addresses are located.

The one on 192 is going to be the most convenient to get to. Not sure it's the closest though. There's one near the outlets on the other side of 4 that may technically be closer. We go to the one on 192, but we're out there a lot as that's generally the direction we go when we leave campus. Also because we stay at AKK about half the time.

If you use Google Maps, the two Carrabbas locations are about the same distance (16-18 min drive), just different directions.

The Carrabba's Gift Card is also valid for use at all U.S . Outback Steakhouse, Bonefish Grill and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.


Also if you have AARP, you get 10% off at all 4 brands.

Thank you all for your replies,
I realize that the card can be used at several different places but we loved and miss Carabbas!
We’ve stayed at AKL and went to Publix but just not good with roads we’re not familiar with lol. We do use the phone’s gps but wasn’t sure which address to put in. We’re older and not too tech savy!

Just sell the gift card online. The service fee will be less than the Uber.

They are okay not amazing restaurants by any stretch.

Our kids purchased the gift card for us as a Christmas gift and then we saw that it had closed pretty suddenly. My husband loved their scallop dish and I enjoyed a couple of their dishes. We're simple folk...not foodies and we liked to go there whenever we could. Hopefully we can take advantage of one of the Orlando locations as we have a car.

Since you have a car, you should be fine. The maps @rlk posted above should help.

PS We're older too, so we tend to avoid I-4 and take the gray "back road" routes on those maps. However, we've been driving around WDW for many years and are familiar with the roadways on WDW property, which can make a difference.

You don't need to be foodies. Simply that there is plenty of just as good or better places for simple folk to eat close to Disney or on Disney property.

Believe me when Torchies goes in I will make a special trip to eat their tacos while at WDW. The way you phrased it was this was simply a way to use the gift card not any emotional component of being able to spend an evening there.

Enjoy the trip.

I'd go to the one on Vineland, 192 is awful.

 

[Cybertruck]

The one Vineland is significantly better. We go there often between parks for lunch. When normally finish right around 2 just in time to PH

 

[disneygal55]

Thank you both for your recommendation about Vineland!
It’s always great to hear from people who have been to a place and can give input about it.

If you use Google Maps, the two Carrabbas locations are about the same distance (16-18 min drive), just different directions.

Actually if, when exiting AKL, if you take the first right onto Sherberth Road, it dumps you out on 192, and its less than 3 miles to Carabbas (7890 W Irlo Bronson Hwy). You can see the Villas from the Restaurant. The road has signs posted that identify it as a "service road", and there are some Disney buildings enroute, but it does not prohibit you from using it. We discovered this on our last trip, and its a huge time saver!e
