T.G.I. Friday’s

Don’t even waste your breath on this place. It takes forever to get seated. I wish I just requested my check before I sat down because I’m now 3.5 hours into this ordeal and have been waiting for the check for 30 mins.

When you feel hungry go to TGI Fridays… Not really, maybe go there sometimes.
This is an American restaurant chain that serves good food and an ok service and pricey tags.
Well personally I like chain restaurants, but find a great deficiency of excitementment in such places. Same old menus over and over, TVs, lacking life, gloomy setting, I don’t know, local restaurants have a better flare or mojo so to speak. Anyways I don’t know if anybody feels that way.
Enough of my ranting, but like I said experience and service was meh.
Food was good, I ordered the Sizzling Chicken and Shrimp (13.99 $) and a side of fries. The fries were great and the Entrée was ok.
Overall go to this restaurant, for a regular experience of mediocre American food in a cliché setting. Otherwise find a local restaurant or eatery.
Carpe Diem with your taste buds good people.

All we did was call in an order for pick-​up! Got there to pick it up and no one knew anything about the order. My husband was asked if we wanted to place the order and wait AGAIN another 25 minutes! When he said he would if the meal was comped, the server said she would have to get the manager. My husband concerned someone would do something to our food if we wqhyaited decided to leave. Why is the Duluth location still open but the Mall of Georgia location is closed?

HORRIBLE service the hostess had an attitude and was going to put us on a wait when there was NO one there. And then our waitress went to visit us ONCE and kept going to the same table every single time and would turn her back to ours. Then she brings us our desert and the brownie was uncooked and the ice cream was melted it looked like a mess. she took a long time to come back for the check
Waste of time, and MONEY do not go there to eat if ur looking for a good time.

I’d give A big fat ZERO stars or 2 thumbs down if I could. this by far is one of the worst service I’ve ever gotten from any of the TGIF’s I’ve been to. Our waitress took our orders and we never saw her again! I had to ask another waiter whether my waiter went home!!! We watched 5 other families get their food in 1 hr. we were there before them and 1 hr of waiting for food is not service… esp if we lost our waiter.
Talked to the manager and he didn’t care either. I guess this was the norm for this restaurant.

Horrible we just placed a To go ordered. I was handed the wrong order. It’s not even busy. Bartender chick is rude straight burped loud. Not even a excuse me. I get people burp but come on. We ordered a drink while we were waiting it got to us right before he food really WTF! There was a child allowed to sit at the bar waiting for a to go order. He was there over 10 minutes. Maybe 11 years of age. If I’m not mistaken this is against the law. We got brought the right food I asked if it was right I was told I don’t know and she walked away not even asking us if we wanted condiments. My ribs are cold and we are just a 5 minute drive away. I won’t be going back.

Not a pleasant experience. We entered and there were a lot of patrons waiting to be seated on a Saturday at 2p. We were not greeted and the hostess seated another couple before us even though we were there first. She was about to do it again when the people spoke up and said we were there first. As we sat down the people in front of us and behind us were complaining about the wait time and asking for a manager.
The wait was long but they brought us a complimentary order of chips and salsa. The waitress was nice.
Our food was terrible not the Friday’s quality I’m use to. This chain has really gone down the tubes. Some locations are better but this one has to be the worse. Our Jack Daniels chicken and shrimp was dry and the shrimp was cooked until it had no life left (dry and chewy). Please get it together Duluth Friday’s.

I was doing late groceries, happened to pass by and decided to give it a try at T.G.I. Friday’s. It took them quite sometime to notice us at the entrance and led us to our table.
I ordered shrimp pasta and Jack Daniel’s steak with shrimps and sides. It took around 30 minutes for the food to be served. The shrimp pasta was extremely salty, almost as though half a bottle of salt poured in it. The pasta itself was overcooked, definitely not al dente. I would say a ¹⁄₁₀. As for the Jack Daniel’s Steak, it came without shrimps. They missed out the shrimps and charged for the price of what I ordered. After clarifying with the waiter, he managed to get the sides but it took another 20 minutes of wait for it to be served, missing the point of having a side dish with entrée. The taste of the steak was overcooked, making it hard to chew, the sides of mac and cheese was ok, and as for the shrimps it came too late and it came straight right out from the kitchen so it was extremely hot, serving with the long wait steak. I give the steak rating of ³⁄₁₀.
While having the meal, the waiters were not attentive, no one noticed when I asked for water or even raised my hands to get their attention. It took them around another 10 minutes or so for them to realize there were actually customers sitting there and needed water.
When I asked for bill, again it took such a long time for them to come over and of course took them a long time to return the bill after paying.
Definitely will not recommend anyone to patronage this restaurant. The price is expensive and not worth for the standards of the food and treatment of service they provided. Overall rating a ²⁄₁₀.

Horrible food, horrible service. What else is there to say. Quoted a long time to be seated although they weren’t busy, steak didn’t fresh… We’ll not go again

When we walked in the hostess opened the door for us. I got the Cajun shrimp and chicken pasta. The food took awhile to come but it was well worth the wait (although they could add a little more chicken and shrimp to the pasta). I got the frozen strawberry lemonade and loved it. The manager even came to our table to check on us, which was really nice. When we were leaving, we asked for to go cups and the manger was super nice and gave us our frozen lemonade in our cups. I was very happy with my visit here.

Although the reviews for this location were horrible I decided to stop in and get some wings to go because it was the closest thing open late that wasn’t drive thru fast food.
I sat at the bar so that I could have a quick drink or two while I waited. Three staff walked by me a few times without stopping but then finally I was helped. The girl at the bar was super friendly and very attentive after I ordered my drink.
I took advantage of the $ 5 crown apples and $ 4 fireball shots while I waited. The crown apple drink was sweet but good.
My wings came out in about 15 minutes and they were hot and delicious. The girl that brought them out asked that I look at them and make sure I was satisfied and that I didn’t need anything else.
I took away a star because they tried to overcharge me for my drinks. They charged me for 3 shots when I had 2. The drinks were pretty decent and I was feeling good when I got the check but not that good. I still know how many drinks I had!
Would come back again but will be reviewing my check thoroughly before I pay.

Horrible experience. I came in with my father to have a few appetizers and drinks while we watched a game.
In addition to terrible food, the server tried to rip us off – we were double charged on both our drinks. We asked for a print out, and the server disappeared. We finally were able to flag down a manager to get it fixed, and even then they were rude.
Never again.

I came here with my family because of a buy one get one free entrée coupon I received in the mail. From my experience tonight, I wouldn’t come back if both entrees were free.
Almost uniformly, the food was only just approaching mediocre. Two exceptions were the bacon wrapped jalapeños and the fries.
We ordered two rib eye steaks, medium. They came out more on the well done side. Both were thin, chewy, and tasteless. Golden Corral is better and that’s not saying much. The $ 10 drink was watered down and the vegetables were overcooked.
The prices are tremendously out of line with the quality. For a few dollars more, go to Stoney River.

We’ve been to this location quite a few times with mediocre success but today supports all the recent poor ratings. There were 3 in our party, here to watch football and have a bite. They offer NO NFL package so the only games on were those shown on regular TV. My team wasn’t one them.
We all ordered the endless appetizers, paying the $ 12 so we could sample multiple types. Each time an order came out we put the order in for the next one. It was 15 – 20 min before the next apps showed up– that’s crazy. The bartender said its because with the endless, they usually come out slower than everything else. That probably should have been on the promotional flyer or told to us when we decided to do it, but I digress. My 2^nd app, potstickers, were burnt. We found out later the person preparing them was in the midst of an argument with the manager and allowed them to burn. She was sent home, my husbands order came out perfectly for his 3^rd round.
I can’t say we will be back. The prices on the menu are over-​inflated, probably to make up for all those that have shut down. Our bartender was fine, but the rest of the experience was a major letdown. With so many competing restaurants in the area, pick one of those.

My office is in Duluth and my coworkers wanted to go here for lunch. Last week, I ended up ordering the black bean burger with the avocado on the side (because no burger should have mayo, cheese AND avocado) — so I planned to take the avocado home. It took about 40 minutes to get our food — which was ridiculous with 4 people when more than half of the restaurant was empty. When our food came, our waitress had forgotten my avocado, forgotten my coworkers sauce and also another coworkers fries. One of my coworkers ordered the «choice of 3 appetizers» as her meal — and for some reason the waitress brought that out 20 minutes before the rest of our food with additional plates — even though we had made a point that we were not sharing it. My coworker had to eat her food alone while we waited because we didn’t want it to get cold.
Not planning to return…

Extremely slow service. Wait for a table was almost an hour despite them telling us it would be 20 mins. Our waitress took forever to come take out order and the food took an unacceptable amount of time to come to our table. It’s no wonder other TGI Friday’s chains have closed, and this one will follow soon.
Avoid at all costs.

All the bad reviews summed up here…
Management is trying to save costs by hiring no one. Seriously this place has a huge shortage in its staff.

For my first review ever… YAY! I will review the «oh-​so-​famous», and one of my personal favorites, TGI Friday’s! This diner has been one of my favorite places to go every since I was child. Their food, service, and ambiance has always been great! Well, for me at least.
However, it was until recently that I have experienced a somewhat disappointment in this place.
I would first like to compliment on the server I had that day for she was very kind and helpful to my table. She always had a smile on her face and she never once given attitude or any other negative energy that we customers sometimes get when eating in diners, or other restaurants similar to this. So as for her service, it was superb, I wish I remembered her name, but i just can’t think of it…
Moving on to the more juicy subjects.
When dining at TGI Friday’s, customers who have a Stripes Card are usually given complimentary chips and salsa, yum! However, it was not so yum as I expected. When the chips and salsa came out, the chips were STALE and COLD! Not a good way to start. However, what was more offensive was when we asked for more fresher and hotter chips and dip, for we partially ate this terrible batch and wanted a better batch, two other workers (not my initial server) came to us and gave us a look of «these not good enough?», and one of them actually had the audacity to try and put our practically empty salsa cup on our table, implying we should eat what was left in that cup with our new batch. That did not do, so I kindly told him to take it and give us a new salsa cup entirely. After this whole shinanigens… the chips and dip came out like it should have came out initially, hot and fresh!
Moving onto entrees! Now, I am all for burgers, so when I ordered their popular Jack Daniel’s burger, it was until after I ordered I realized that the server (yes, my kind server) did not ask me how I wanted the meat to be cooked (rare, medium, well-​done, etc.). It turned out to be well-​done, but luckily for her and their chef, I actually don’t mind eating well-​done meats (I usually prefer medium to well-​done). The burger was to my liking, thankfully; however, they need to be more conscientious on things like this, for other customers who take these things seriously. The french fries were very good! No complaints on that!
So overall I give them a three stars for our kind server and a good meal! I hope they improve on their overall service and food quality because I will be going back, but maybe I’ll try a different location… Thanks for reading! Happy Unilocaling!

Eh. The service was really good, but the food wasn’t superb.
My friend and I had their unlimited $ 10 appetizer deal. She had heard about it and wanted to try it out. Once you choose your choice of appetizer, you’re committed to getting that item throughout the course. The first plate that’s brought out is a full portion. The plates thereafter are half sized.
We ended up getting the spicy chicken tostada and spinach dip. The tostada was pretty tasty. The spinach dip had too much spinach and not enough cheese. We also ordered a side of mozzarella sticks to satisfy our cheese crave (not part of the unlimited deal). That of course definitely hit the spot. :)
Overall, the food was about average. The service from both the hostess and waitress was above average as both were genuine, friendly, and courteous. Parking was pretty plentiful. Even after 2 ½ hours of being there, parking was still pretty available when we headed on out.

I can’t really comment on the food or service because for the 10 minutes my wife and I sat at our table listening to the staff laughing and joking in the kitchen, and a few workers walked past us, we never even got a glass of water.
So now, we’re across the street at O’charles were a waiter has brought us our drinks and is currently taking our order.
