Friday’s

just left… going to chili’s… you guys didn’t care about serving us in the bar area!!!
won’t be back ever or suggest your place.

They just can’t handle large parties of 8 or more. If it’s just you and a date they seem to stay on top of it. But a large party, forget it.

We’ve always been pleased! I usually get the salmon. My husband is all over the menu and has always been satisfied. The drinks have always been good. We really appreciate a restaurant that makes space for smokers, we’re people too. We always spend more money at the bar when they allow smoking.

UPDATE!!!:
After receiving a email from the manager, we returned and it was fantastic! Since then we have returned twice in the past 3 weeks. The last two waitresses we had were amazing and very knowledgeable about the menu. I can’t remember the first girls name but the second lady Patty, was extremely convincing about the alcoholic drinks and desert! Both times were amazing, ordering the triple appetizer again, and everything was good on it. The burger I ordered wasn’t burnt and the food also came out very quickly. So glad we returned with the managers help!

Worst dining experience in years. Arrived at 8:45, left at 10 PM after only having an appetizer and salad. Service was horrible. Waitress took our order at about 9:00 and didn’t come back until we were ready to leave. A second waitress delivered our food but nobody ever checked on us until after we had finished. Appetizer was average at best and the salad was acceptable. Knew we were not getting fine dining when we pulled in so quality level wasn’t unexpected. Overheard a manger tell someone else yet had 7 people not show up. Sorry but excuses don’t cut it in the hospitality industry. No drink refills. Had to ask FIVE times (and 5 different people) for our check so we could pay. Got the wrong check. Finally a manger or supervisor came by, apologized and comped our meal. No more picking bad options when there are so many good ones all around.

Just ate here tonight and have to say that my glass was cracked. food took 45 min to come and was cold. Also the waiter didn’t say sorry or anything. Never coming back here again.

It’s been a while since I have visited a Friday’s. My first time was probably about 25 years ago as a kid. Even this many years later, I remember that the ONLY impressive part of the experience was the fact I was eating out at a restaurant. That’s it. Visited a couple more times in different states, and once again left unimpressed. I haven’t returned in almost 10 years until tonight when a friend celebrating his birthday decided he wanted to eat here.
The food itself was meh at best. I ordered the pick three appetizer because the entrees just weren’t that appealing to me. What does it say when you can get better Friday’s loaded potato skins from the freezer section at your grocery store than you can at an actual Friday’s? I’m not really sure what they were trying to do with the potatoes here, but they were just odd. Also ordered some mozzarella sticks… came with four sticks and maybe, just maybe, about a tablespoon of marinara if that. Dip those sticks wisely. The boneless buffalo wings were probably the best part. A friend ordered the green bean fries and I will admit those were very good.
I also ordered the Casamigos strawberry ‘rita. It was good, but it wasn’t over $ 11 good. Seriously, it cost just barely under the cost of my food. Of course, George Clooney partly owns Casamigos — so here’s a prime example of paying for a name, because I’ve had better house margaritas at half the cost.
We might have stayed for dessert had the service not been soooo slooooow. Our server was very friendly and all smiles, but good grief it took forever to even get our drink orders in. To give you an example, a group of cops (about one or two more than our group of five) sat down shortly after we placed our food order. They had placed their orders and received their food before we got our food even though our order was in before they even had menus in their hands. They had paid for their checks and left before we even received our checks. I don’t know if people at the restaurant didn’t want to offend the cops or something, but our service shouldn’t have to suffer to benefit someone else who came in after us. I mean the restaurant was pretty dead. There’s no reason why everything should have taken as long as it did when it was obvious that they clearly had the ability to move more quickly.
All in all, it was a reminder of why I hadn’t returned in all these years. I think next time I’m tempted by Friday’s, I’ll just head to my grocery store and grab the frozen potato skins.

Used to love Fridays. Haven’t been here in forever, but service has deteriorated since the last time I dined here. I ordered soup to be delivered with the rest of my meal. I can’t say I was entirely shocked when it was brought early, but they were accommodating and took it back to the kitchen until the rest of the main dishes were served. Drinks were dry through much of the meal, but placing them and the very end of the table seemed to serve it’s purpose. Hoping for and better experience next time

Not many chains deserve four stars. I don’t claim to be a foodie or a localvore, but chains can sometimes bastardize simple menu items such as steaks or pasta dishes. Now having said that, barbecue sauce on a steak may fall into that category but the JD flat iron is pretty awesome. Menu is pretty clear and chain like as a whole but pretty well executed.
Service, at least in the bar section, has always been awesome. Bartenders have a pretty good time. Want a real tip? If going to a chain restaurant as a solo or twosome, belly up to the bar. Also, if you’re going to be a big group, lower your expectations. You’re not even pseudo royal so calm down if things take a minute and your plate isn’t perfectly symmetric.
Final word. What matters is how you feel in a place and I feel pretty good here. Awesome music in the bar is a bonus.

I came yesterday and my food, drinks and service was perfect. I come back for day two and had to keep asking for things I shouldn’t have had to. Starters I asked for extra cheese and breadsticks with a side salad. The bartender rings me in for a full salad. I tell the general manager I asked for a side salad, he said keep the full salad. I asked for the extra cheese that I was paying for. Today my breadsticks were not fresh. I had to ask for extra ranch, fresh bread sticks, extra buffalo sauce for my boneless buffalo chicken. I don’t know where the bartender went, but it took him a while to come back. Hineside he never asked if I needed anything. I guess avoiding me all together. So I decided to write about my experience. Should I tip? Because service has been terrible @ the bar.

On february eighth at approximately 3 o’clock in the afternoon we decided to eat at Friday upon arrival we were seated at a dirty table that had to be clean as we sat there we proceeded to order our food which eventually came out upon receiving our food we began to eat and suddenly my sister in law said she was done we looked at her plate and found a hair in it although they did remake the plate you would think they would have comped it taking it off the bill completely instead they discounted $ 5 if this had happened to the manager of that restaurant at a restaurant that he was visiting I’m pretty certain he would have asked for his meal to be comped instead of discounted $ 5 due to this experience we will not be visiting this restaurant again

J.D. Salinger reviews TGI Fridays:
«If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is what I ordered, and what my lousy food was like, and how good my waiter was and all while I was at TGI Fridays and all that Ruth Reichl kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty bad about their favorite goddam restaurant. They’re quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They’re nice and all — I’m not saying that — but they’re also touchy as hell. Besides, I’m not going to tell you about my whole goodam meal or anything.»

Ok… In full disclosure it’s been 2 years since I BOYCOTTED this place for a variety of reasons.
1. I would often get lackluster service, at best (If you’re working for tips, maybe being apathetic isn’t the best strategy?)
2. I’d often get servers who just thought by them being there, they deserved a tip… (Maybe try refilling a drink, JUST ONCE during my meal)
3. I actually had a bartender argue with me that the food was not too overcooked (was SHE the one eating it??? Nope, but strangely, she had an opinion on it without taking a bite of my overcooked food)
4. I had THE ASSistant manager argue with ME about my taste buds (the grill was oversalted, and on this particular day I was at a birthday dinner & about 8 other people agreed with ME, but me, being a «loud mouth Yankee devil» was the only one with any balls to actually SAY anything to management.
And like I said, the assistant manager basically told us all, the whole table, we were hallucinating the salt taste… YEA FRICKING RIGHT. Useless. Utterly unprofessional response from him, too.
5. On another occasion, my male server disappeared.
He decided to take his work shirt off, put on street clothes & watch the «big game» in the bar area. When I personally confronted him he said «Oh, I’m off the clock.» Even though he still had an UN finished table left. But he said just leave the tip on the table after the bartender drops off the bill. The bartender was willing to lie & cover for this guy. All the manager said to me was «don’t tip him». No I’m sorry. Not a «I’m sorry I have no control over my own staff that’s on duty right now.» Nothing.
I went & put up with their BS mostly because of coupons, which they always had an attitude about me using. (I guess they’re angry I got free stuff & deep discounts?)
It should be noted that without promotions like endless apps & the free survey appetizer, a LOT less people would patronize your chain. Tell the servers to lose the rudeness.

Good food with good sit down service. Avoid to-​go during any OU game or you wait double the time they tell you.

It sucked when I went there 4 years ago. It sucked this year. First I get an asian wrap, might as well have gone to Walmart and bought peanuts. Second time I planned on being fancy, got the salmon with cole slaw… it was a «fish stick» with 1 oz of flavorless slaw. I felt so full after everything. Full of lies. The pictures are a lie!

This TGI Friday’s is a testament to what is quality. The food, drinks, service, pricing, & ambiance are all first rate. This is a chain restaurant right? Well, yes… but don’t think of it like that, rather walk in thinking your going to a locally owned restaurant called Friday. Now that you have this mind set enter their bar and start with a cocktail made with fresh herbs or a margarita made by hand to order, or even an ice cold Stella in a custom chalice. Then order an app to share & have another round of drinks and enjoy the great service that you’ll get from your bartender who enjoys his or her job. After that try their Tapas style menu and pick up to five small dishes to share with your last round of drinks. Do all this during a Thunder game and it’s even better. Finally pay your reasonable tab and call a cab!
I should note that all the times I’ve been here I always enjoy the bar section so this review is for the bar.

Service here still rocks! Decided to retry this location and wasn’t disappointed at the service and friendliness of the staff. The food on the other hand, still subpar compared to other Friday’s locations in larger cities. Tried the mozzarella sticks and yet again tasted fishy. Tried a different cut of their steaks and it was just as crappy.

The food was technically «good», but I was shocked by the micro sized side salad and 5 potato wedges I got with my ½ rack of ribs that had maybe 2 ounces of meat on it. My husband ordered the same. How expensive is lettuce and potatoes these days? Are they cutting into corporate profits? If you are going to give me a small meat portion, give me a bigger salad and a few more fries. This isn’t an issue with this Fridays, this is probably all Fridays. I get a great side salad with my meal at Texas Roadhouse, red robin, Charleston’s, cheddar’a, well, actually everywhere else. Red robin also gives free fries. So many other places to choose from, I won’t step foot in Fridays again.
Luckily we got the survey on our receipt. I promptly went home and filled it out online and didn’t bother with the $ 8 coupon because I won’t be back.

The strawberry fields salad is in season! Yes! Was seated quick, my server was a little grumpy as to how slow it had been. In light of this over share I expected to get excellent service since he was board. However, I guess sitting around «behind the wall» with over servers was a better use of his time. But I wasn’t a very high maintenance table but had to correct 2 things about my order. Alas… anyways, good location, food was as expected. Nothing special to report.

I’ve been to this Friday’s once before but it wasn’t memorable enough for me to recall, so I went again today for lunch to give it another go around. TGIF, MANG. except it’s Thursday. I feel like I’m living a lie by going here on a Thursday. How can I expect anyone to trust me when I live like this?!
The place was busy but not packed, and the service was prompt. I feel so bad for these people. Those striped shirts are hideous. Gosh. But they manage to wear them with a smile so kudos to them!
My boyfriend and I got the 2 for 9.99 deal.
Mine (mine mine miiiiiiine miiiine /​seagull):
Balsamic chicken salad ⁴⁄₅: Quite tasty. But I have to say that the dressing was laid on a little thick. It wasn’t mushy or soupy, but balsamic vinaigrette is a powerful dressing as it is.
Hibachi chicken ³⁄₅: 3 skewers of medium sized grilled chicken over triangles of bread (it looked sort of pita’y, but I’m not 100% sure) with a bed of cole slaw over some thin crisps. I like the cole slaw quite a lot, but the chicken was very salty. Good, but… Salty.
So, a pretty good place over all. Just not somewhere I would crave to repeat. Especially as I explore more options.
