Carbones Faribault — Restaurant in Faribault

Don't waste your time going here unless you like no service and cold food! We stopped here passing through town. It was maybe half full. The lady was very friendly and took our order (4 meals and a appetizer)and after that it was all down hill. After we ordered we noticed there was a pizza sitting under the warming lights and thought wow that stinks whoever is getting that pizza. They finally came and took it to the people after walking past it several times. Then we noticed someone's appetizer was sitting under the warming light for a good 10 minutes both ladies walked past and looked at it several times. Well now she brought out two of our meals and came back with the appetizer that was sitting there for 10 min then brought our other two meals out. The two pastas that we ordered were both cold also. Both hamburgers were hot so im guessing the pasta got done first and was sitting back there waiting for our burgers to cook. Three bites into my meal my pop was empty and remained empty until I had two bites left she came to fill it. Both women were more worried about clearing off dirty tables(there was plenty of tables clean it was only half full) then taking care of the people that were there eating. We didn't complain or say a word about the lack of quality of food or service because we didn't want to wait for new food since we wanted to get back on the road. But as soon as I laid the money down to pay that was the quickest the server got to our table all night. We have been traveling through MN since Tuesday and this has definitely been the worst service our whole trip. There were other places that were more packed and same amount of servers and we still received better service at...

In 2021 or 2022, I wish I had discovered this gem when I lived in Montgomery Township 24 years ago. A bit before I moved away, my guy and I stopped in because we finally got some time between errands to stop in. We lived about 20 miles from Faribault. What a wonderful surprise! I haven't been to an original Carbone's like this one since I was a child. No skimping on ingredients, quick service with a smile, and we went with a large specialty pizza for about $18. It really was a large and OMG delicious! It's really too bad it took us so long to finally get the chance to stop. It's the best Carbone's I've been to since visiting the first one on the outskirts of St. Paul, about 55 years ago. If you're traveling through the area, look up the Carbone's Pizza Parlor in Faribault. You'd never know from looking at the outside or inside the most appealing features of this restaurant. The food!!! As it...

Pizza was good, service wasn't so much. In her defense; there was only one server, which was dumb on their end but we were there on a Sunday evening. When my husband and I got there, there was only one other party in the place...not including 2 or 3 people sitting at the bar. We sat ourselves and it was a little bit before someone came to take our drink order. Once she did we didn't see her again (at our table) for at least 10 minutes. I had ordered a beer and my husband soda, so she did bring that right away but nothing after that. When she Finally did come back; with my beer as well, we ordered and it wasn't too terribly long for the pizza. But I watched her scurry about the restaurant to multiple different tables, but not ours. So that was fairly...
