Carrabba’s Italian Grill gives service members, veterans, and first responders 10% off with any visit through its Heroes Discount. The discount is published in Carrabba’s own terms, and it is a standing, everyday discount — not a one-day event — good at any Carrabba’s location. For a family dinner of wood-fired chicken, house-made pasta, and sausage, 10% off the whole check is a real saving, and there is no promo code and no online verification step — you claim it at the table.
Carrabba’s is the Italian-American chain known for wood-fired grilling, house-made sausage, and pasta cooked over an open flame. It is part of Bloomin’ Brands, the same company behind Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish Grill, which run the same 10% Heroes program. Below is everything you need to know: who qualifies, what ID to bring, and how to claim it step by step.
Who is Eligible for the Carrabba’s Military Discount?
Carrabba’s own terms list the discount for servicemen and women, police officers, firefighters, and military personnel. That covers active-duty military members, veterans, and retirees — the accepted ID list includes a Uniform Services Retired ID Card, a DD214, and Veterans Organization cards like the American Legion or VFW, so retirees and veterans qualify with that documentation.
Bring one of these to prove your service: a state or federal service ID, a U.S. Uniformed Services Identification Card, a Uniform Services Retired ID Card, a current Leave and Earnings Statement, a Veterans Organization card, a DD214, a Veteran Identification Card, or a photo of yourself in uniform. One honest note: Carrabba’s page names servicemen and women, police, firefighters, and military personnel — it does not spell out EMTs or paramedics the way sister chain Bonefish Grill does, so if you are an EMT, confirm with your local Carrabba’s before you go.
How Much Military Discount Does Carrabba’s Provide?
Eligible military members, veterans, and first responders save 10% off with any visit. The key terms:
- 10% off your check — a standing, everyday discount, not a one-day event
- Good at any Carrabba’s location — dine in and ask your server when you pay
- Excludes alcohol and tax — the 10% does not reduce those parts of the bill
- Cannot be combined with Dine Rewards points, gift card purchases, the AARP discount, or the Amore Monday deal
Carrabba’s published terms do not state a per-table cap, so if you are bringing a large group, confirm with your server before the check arrives. The terms also do not mention online ordering, so treat this as an in-restaurant discount unless your local Carrabba’s tells you otherwise.
