T.G.I FRiDAY’S Pittsburgh International Airport

«Just to let you know we close in 15 minutes and can’t serve you»…WOW! Didn’t know that closing at 8pm meant you say NO to a customer at 7:45pm.

I usually like TGI Fridays but this experience at PIT was not good. The restaurant was not busy (it was 2:30 PM). I had the bacon cheddar cheese burger which came with fries. The bun was refrigerator cold and very hard (not ciabatta-​hard but stale, cold hard). I literally had to eat the burger without the bun. Plus, I am eating an order of McDonald’s fries as I write this because I received so few fries with my Friday’s burger. There was one positive, however … the beer was very cold.

Good food. A little more effort would go along way.
I had the boneless chicken wings with the Garlic Parmesan sauce. Almost no sauce on the chicken and I had to ask for more. Obviously the Chicken was pre-​breaded and heavy done at that. Mine had to much breading for my taste. My friends Shrimp was just to his liking thought the fries had way to much salt on them. A smart eatery puts just a little on and lets the patrons add more. Many travelers are older and can’t handle heavily salted foods.
Fair beer selection and my friends Bloody Mary was just OK.
Good food if your out of time and choices.

A much better menu than most Friday’s. Excellent service. Very good food. Blue Moon beer on tap.

For an airport restaurant, I cannot complain. The wait staff was extremely friendly and service was quick. Only problem is there are not healthy choices on the menu. Crazy that a salad has 1100 calories! Ever think that some people ordering salads only consume 1200 calories a day, not a meal!

I get that it is in an airport, but nothing special. The reception received by the bartender should have been the warning. We just wanted a quick drink and a quick snack before getting on our flight. First off, they close at 7:00 PM on a Saturday. Not sure if that is the norm or if it was because the airport was so slow, but still 7:00 PM??? My son had the cheeseburger and it was fine. I ordered the pretzels and cheese sauce. The amount of sauce for 4 pretzels was a total joke. It was MAYBE 3 ounces of cheese. Also, the cheese sauce was runny. The pretzels were not good at all. I am not sure what was done to them, but they were actually greasy and had a weird crunch texture to them. I am pretty sure that they fried them but cannot be sure. The bartender did warm up once she realized our son was low maintenance. There was no secret that they were closing down because that happened all around us.
Will go to Bar Symon the next time we want a quick drink and snack.

I am normally not a huge fan of TGIF, but it seemed like a decent choice when I had a few hours to kill in the Pittsburgh airport last month.
It’s pretty cramped if you have carry-​on luggage, outlets are in short supply, and it took a while for the server to notice me; although, to be fair, those are all typical drawbacks at airport locations. Once she noticed me, I had great service– she was super friendly, and didn’t mind that I wanted to table-​camp and read for well over an hour.
I had a Jack Daniels Burger and it was actually really good– the sauce was just a little sweet but not overpowering, and the burger was juicy with great flavor. I had a Yuengling to go with, and it was actually reasonably priced considering that the large beer is actually a pretty generous pour. I also got a metal knife to cut my burger in half– I’m not sure if this is special to TGIF, special to Pittsburgh, a change to TSA’s regulations, or if I’ve just alerted the NSA to something, but it was nice to not butcher my sandwich with a plastic knife.
Funnily enough, my flight got canceled as I finished my beer, so I killed time in Concourse A for nothing. But if I happen to end up there again, I’ll probably be a repeat customer.

Excellent staff… They greet you with a smile and are very polite.
Food is priced fair and great selection. Quality of food is above average.

I didn’t really enjoy my experience at Fridays. The place is much larger than I expected, once seated it took a really long for my server to make her rounds. I ordered a steak cooked medium with a side salad and sweet potato fries. The steak was well done and hard to cut. I never got the fries, but I did enjoy the view of planes coming in.

Just standard Friday’s, nothing special at all.

Surprisingly good breakfast food — got the breakfast burrito and while it looks like a lot it’s very light. nice and early on the mimosa and Bloody Mary service, and really awesome
hostess and waitress — great experience!

This location in the airport is everything you want in an airport restaurant. Reasonably priced food, VERY fast service and friendly wait staff. They will get you in and out before you flight boards.

Hostess gets a 5 star…
Arrived at the airport my battery on my phone was low and I was hungry so I asked the hostess «do you have a table with an electric outlet?» she said absolutely and took me a table. It was hidden and not easy to find but she knew it was right there.
I ate (food is always a 3 at Friday’s) and charged my phone.
I have been to 100+ airports and she was the SECOND one to ever know where an outlet was.
Recharge your batteries internally and externally here.

What a great way to relax with my sister while we waiting for our planes home to Austin/​Norfolk. We perched ourselves on the barstool and parked our carry-​ones next to us. There were hooks under the bar top to hang our bags, how thoughtful is that?
Carrie, the bartender, never stopped moving. She made beverages, took orders, bused the bar and washed dishes and had conversation with us all at the same time.
My sister has celiac disease, no gluten. Carrie set her up with a delicious and colorful meal.
There are a lot of restaurants in the hub of this airport. The next time I find myself here, I will have one less decision to make.

Fridays is always seems like it is a great restaurant, and this one in the airport always provides my family with a good meal. They are open early to accommodate the early morning flights, and they even were serving lunch at the early hour of 8am.
My dad was even able to order a beer. Food was great. No complaints.
