TGI Friday’s

Lets start with the restaurant is empty, 9:49pm on a weekday. It is 10 000 degrees inside, the a/​c is not on whatsoever because the hostess and the waiters are ALL sweating.
Went to use the restroom and all stalls were overflowing with urine, none of them flushed, none of them had any toilet paper. For a pregnant woman at 9 months, this was it for me.
I walked to my table and told the waiter, sorry. If I can’t pee, I can’t possibly endure a hot meal while he’s sweating and I’m sweating.
For a chain restaurant, this was utterly disappointing and disgusting.

The food wasn’t bad. Which is why they get 3 stars.
Full disclosure — I went in hungry. And I get grumpy when I’m hungry.
I sat at the bar and the bartender laid a menu down and told be he’d have to come back. But, he didn’t take my drink order?
Okay. That’s alright. Maybe he was real busy. But, there was only one other person at the bar. And the bartender was over there chatting with him. Actually, not chatting. More like shooting the shit. Major espresso driven useless shit. As in does Captain America really fly or does he just jump real high?
In the meantime, I was starving and needing a drink. And I was waiting and being forced to have to listen to those two balloon heads talk. 10 minutes of listening to pure shit from Whoopie and Joy. I was ready to start barking like a dog who wanted to come in the house.
So, I got up and started to walk away. And he saw me walking and then started coming toward me as if he was ready to butt buddy me now. But, I just went to the front and the host sat me right away at a nice booth and I had a Coors Light within 90 seconds — saving me from certain dehydration.
I had a burger that tasted pretty good. And then the brownie fat boy thing for dessert — which was also pretty good.
And the whole time I was eating, I could see Oprah and Rosie over at the bar still having their summit meeting. But, then I see another guy sitting at the bar looking all pissed as he’s forced to listen to the 2 cans of ass meat talking about more dull useless shit that no one gives a shit about.

Tonight with my family and friends I went to TGI Fridays off of Sheridan and 95. The time was 830 on a Tuesday night — 4/17/16…I had one request, being veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, it was to be seated in a corner or against a wall as to be able to enjoy dinner with my family. The host in the front tried to sit me in two different tables in the center of the restaurant which is not what I asked for. There were at least 10 to 15 available tables against the wall already set up for people to dine at not even 4 feet from the tables they offered me. When I asked for one of them they told me those sections were closed and they could not help me. Clearly because they had already cleaned the sections even though the restaurant was still open and they did not want the extra work of having to close more sections. Word of the day, HOSPITALITY!!! Upon exiting the establishment because they could not cater to my needs I informed the host the reason I needed a table against the wall or in a corner was because I was a veteran and would not be able to relax. His response was «sorry but they are closed.» I had a party of 6 people that would have spent a minimum of $ 200. That is revenue lost for their restaurant. I guess they need some good management in there to better train the staff. I will never go back. I will also inform all vets I know do the same from this day forward!!! Horrible service!

Just stopped in here for a drink prior to a movie. Place smelled like they just mopped with a vomit water filled bucket. Bartender was friendly and nice but place was gross. The bathroom was nasty and paper towel dispenser was left hanging open to allow you to unroll a paper towel to dry your hands.

I don’t expect much from chain restaurants, but even this was a disappointment.
PROs:
–Seated right away (There weren’t that many people there.)
–Food was fine
CONs:
–2 out of 3 orders were incorrect
–Coworker was incorrectly charged for double her actual bill. When she mentioned this to the server, The server said that she would void the transaction. The server came back with a bill for the proper amount, but the next day my coworker still saw the incorrect charge on her account. From what I understand, she has it sorted out, but still not a fun experience.
I’d like to give it a 1.5 as the food was good, but not good enough to make this experience worth it.

WOW. The quality of the food here is awful. Not just the preparation, but the over quality of the ingredients used. Avoid at all cost.
The only reason i guve it 1 star is our server was a really nice guy.

I love TGIF. I’m used to going to the one in University. I though food and service would be top notch here too. What a disappointment. Food was far from good & service was EXTREMELY SLOW. Plus table took forever to be bussed. Even when I pile the dishes at the edge so they could be picked up. Plenty of times I saw kids walking (hostess I’m guessing) and they wouldn’t even ask if they could clean the table. What a horrible service. Didn’t expect this from TGIF … Rather go to Weston Duffy’s next time … (Dessert plate was dirty and silverware was dirty and with wet spots too) nasty /:!

Nasty chain food at its worst. Really the only thing safe to order here is a hamburger, and there are plenty of other places that have better burgers. Service usually is friendly but incompetent, don’t come with more than 4 people, you have been warned.
Not sure why anyone would go here to be honest.

I have to commend TGIFriday specifically Dylan for going above and beyond for us. They do not serve Hot Chocolate but my daughter was freezing he found another employee that had some instant and he made her a Hot Chocolate! Definitely would come back!

Just wanted to point out how the manager Dan and his staff were so outstanding with service when I visited there recently.
You may wonder how right… well let me explain. For the last 5 years I have been attending this restaurant with my basketball team of boys and girls but this year it was different by the way the whole setup for my party was handled.
You may think No big deal but just imagine 50 boys and girls a ton of soda and refills not to mention the on going chatter and movement to the bathroom every second which is total chaos.
For me with his staff being so calm and responsive in nothing but positive ways I was totally impressed and just wanted to express how smooth things were especially when it came to writing the bill for each individual which was a funny sight to see LOL

Wow. Haven’t been here in a while. I had the salmon and lobster and my wife had the bourbon chicken. Both were absolutely great. The mozzarella and tomato salad was ok, but the spinach was excellent. The service was very good and the place was clean. Great job!!!

I came for dinner and a movie with my boyfriend on a Thursday night and we won a $ 25 gift card playing bingo! Even with all of the bingo madness going on the bartenders, Ryan and Alex, were very attentive and friendly. We asked them to surprise us with shots and they came back with «Scooby Snacks», which were awesome! The atmosphere was great and I’m definitely coming back soon.
P. S. They have happy hour specials ALL DAY Sun-​Thurs!

The service here is so slow and the place isn’t even crowded tonight. I got the endless apps braised beef tostadas and all I basically got was cole slaw on a chip with a little of the beef. Doesn’t look like picture on the menu. Really disappointed about this place. I won’t come back.

Why do i like to torture myself? I came for happy hour with girlfriends and ordered from happy hour menu. Waitress was friendly at first but for 2 hours did not come by. Yes 2 hours did not check on us, she did not ask if we needed refills or wanted more food nothing. Our Water was never refilled. The worst. We asked to speak to a manager to why the horrible service on a wednesday at 7pm-​9. The place was empty. He comped our drinks which was three beers. Nothing else. We paid for our food. I will not recommend this location or return. Very disappointing

DO GET: Vanilla bean cheesecake, Oreo madness, crispy green bean fries, bruschetta chicken pasta
DON’T GET: I can’t really honestly think of anything that you must not waste a single taste bud on.
I often come here to have a good conversation with friends, and they deliver the right ambiance for that every time. They often have great deals like all you can eat appetizers, or a 2 for $ 20 type of meal deal, so keep a lookout for that!
Out of all the restaurant chains out there, I think this is one of the ones I frequent the most, so although there might not be anything food-​wise that is standout AMAZING, it keeps me coming back, so they must be doing something right! However, they do have some great desserts. A lot of my friends favor the Oreo madness, which is good, but my favorite is the vanilla bean cheesecake. I guess it’s based on what you prefer.

If you know better do better! Went to this family classic tonight for some appetizers after a fun filled night. Walked in and the hostess was missing in action so I decided to go to the restroom and wash my hands, when I left the restroom still no hostess so I sat at the bar section with my friend.
I asked one of the employees to please bring me some menus and then we placed our orders, the food came out pretty fast and as usual it’s always delicious. When it came to my boneless chicken wings, I was sauce less (at least the sauce they brought me was nasty) «OMG! No sauces!» I tried raising my hand like in elementary school to flag down my waiter but it was to no avail, finally the bartender came to the rescue and saved my experience.
In a nutshell, the food is great but the staff needs improvement. This wasn’t the first time I’ve had problems with the staff here… All I know is the food is too tasty to stop going because of people. SHOUT OUT TO THAT BOMB BARTENDER WITH THE SICK BEARD! Thanks to him my chicken didn’t die in vain :)

I’m all about service and the service here was terrible. The bartender rather look at his phone instead of asking if I wanted a drink

During my recent visit, I experienced very poor service. Granted that it is a Friday night and the restaurant is pretty busy, I still feel this is no excuse for a lower quality of service. I have been here before several times, and for the most part I cannot complain, but my recent experience has left me with a bitter taste that will not leave me with the desire of coming back any time soon.
I can find many things in my food, that I normally overlook as someone who is understanding. After ordering the All-​American Stack Burger, it took my first bit 30 minutes later only to find a hair hanging off of it after the bit was already in my mouth. The restaurant has a good atmosphere and the food from my past experiences has been nothing less that satisfying. I may not be back for a while, but I can only hope things are different when I do

It’s been quite some time since I did my review on this place. More things have changed since then, so it’s time.
Well, the décor of the place has gone from looking like the inside of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not to looking like IKEA. Very bland and boring. All of the imagination of this place that made it a prime spot in the area has been gutted. A real shame. I kind of miss all the fun times I had here. Oh well.
The food is still pretty good. The only thing I’m still not crazy about is their Jack Daniels dishes. Too syrup-​y and makes the food crunchy when it should be tender.
Overall, the place has been toned down quite a bit. So if you’re looking for a nice, quiet place to hang out and eat with the family, or you just want to keep to yourself, this is it.

I’m giving this place 3 stars because of their ever changing happy hour deals and new look. The food here is simply too tasteless for me, nothing ever stands out or makes me say «OMG these are soooo good!».
But on the other hand they have great deals on drinks on certain nights between certain hours, if you’re lucky enough to be there during them you can have a house scotch for $ 2!!! crazy!
