Tgi Friday’s

My waiter was so cool and down to earth! I like sitting in the bar area, the service is better!

Never have a problem here. If I wanted to complain it would be in regards to the menu constantly changing. There used to be a spinach dish I loved. Over five years we have been coming here.

It was cool until the cockroach crawled out of the booth where I was sitting at the end of the meal. It had wings…

I walked into the restaurant behind another customer. The hostess opened and held the door for me. And walked away. A few moments went by and another couple entered. The hostess ignored me and immediately offered to seat the newly arriving customers. Ok, this happens sometimes. When she returned she offered to seat me.
Once I as seated I waited 20 minutes for someone, anyone to acknowledge my presence. I would have loved to be offered a drink maybe some water. But after 20 minutes of waiting in a restaurant that was no busy I decided to leave. I gathered my menu and went to the front and returned the menu to the hostess. I explained that I tend not to eat in a restaurant where I am invisible. She thanked me for smiling and speaking calmly and not yelling at her.
Who knows, maybe I will try again later after shift change. I really like their food. Especially their desert.

Pros; the restaurant is accommodating to large parties.
Cons: the restaurant assigned one waitress to a 40 top! She could barely keep up with drink refills napkin requests and when it came time deliver the food orders were missed. 4 to 5 waiters were just standing around in the front section and it should’ve been assigned to our 40 top to be able to process all the orders. We spent as a party in extra two hours in the restaurant just waiting for tickets to get sorted out. If you have a large party of folks wanting to celebrate a birthday skip this restaurant altogether. Huge disappointment!

The manager, DeAndre, was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He was kind and cared about what we needed. The staff was amazing and the food was EPIC! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Omg this is the bestplace i have eaten in awhile. The steaks are amazing. Customer service is great.

Awesome food and service! Food was filling and served hot. It even had immediate seating available! Awesome chicken and shrimp!

We LOVE TGI Fridays but it appears the brand has gone down hill. Sat in the bar area and finally after being there 10 minutes asked the bartender who walked by us at least 10 times if we needed to go to the bar to order drinks and he was like — oh sorry, thought you had been helped already. Really, by whom? Drinks were wrong the 1^st time out but were corrected with the second round. We always order the Seasame Jack Strips and you end up paying about $ 1 per small piece of chicken. We won’t be back. Yes, I sent an email to the company on their site about the 2 locations in OKC and have not heard back so it seems they don’t care either.

A later afternoon stop for lunch found me at TGI Fridays.
I ordered loaded potato skins and the classic cheeseburger with fries.
First the potato skins.
A crispy salty exterior with a soft salted potato center. Topped with a pyro clastic cheddar cover studded with clumps of porcine remnants.
The addition of the supplied sour cream cut the saltiness to a tolerable level and gave the appetizer a more appetizing texture. A fair but salty begging to a meal.
Next the fries.
The standard small evenly cut strips of potato deep fried to a golden brown. Nothing remarkable but properly done.
Next the burger. At first glance I was afraid the meat would be sub par.
The bun seemed to outsize the patty. The bun was soft and quite flavorful a small breasts pillow for a patty of meat that far exceeded my first impression.
A slice of the knife revealed the tell tell color of beef properly grilled to the softest pink of ground bovine perfection.
The patty featured the thinnest layer of crust of well seared burger.
The cheesy cover was mild for a fromage boasting the name of sharp… A small disappointment on an otherwise proud burger offering.
As national chains go not a shabby burger and worth the ordering.

This place is terrific, I go here all the time. As a matter of fact, I think I’ve actually tasted everything on the menu at lease once. The food is always seasoned extremely well and served at an excellent temperature. My only complaint is that they don’t serve the pot stickers at breakfast!

I don’t know how to give zero stars… But I would if I could.
This place fucking sucks.
My friend had to send back his food bc the waiter (frank) doesn’t know the menu. Got his 2^nd meal 20 minutes before the rest of the table.
My food looks like David Hasselhoff after setting under the heat lamp for an hour.
It’s not even crowded.

I do not typically do this and my reviews always focus on the food and service which both were great, but when I made my way to the restroom before our entrées I was completely shocked by the condition! It looked worse than a ⁷⁄₁₁ on the south side and that’s being generous. Do they assume no one will use it? Very disappointing.

First drink delivered in a glass covered, and I mean covered, in dried spaghetti sauce. Showed it to the waiter and the next glass had what appeared to be a nose hair with a booger on it stuck to the rim of the glass. Classy joint. Yes, we did get up and leave.

I advise never going to this horrible location— OR CHAIN– in the OKC area.
The only place I hate more than this location is the OTHER TGIF location.
(Yet, I am judging them completely individually.)
I’ve been here a dozen (literally 12+) times— not a single time was stellar. MOST DESERVED NEGATIVE STARS.
Let me tell you about my «low points» with the service & staff here over a 3 year time span (I have since boycotted this location forever):
The hostess, an older frail lady, for some reason occasionally made us wait — EVEN when I saw open tables. I never understood why places do this (lie to their customers) and have lazy servers incapable of «work».
So… after a few times of being pissed off and lied to, me (and my ex, usually) would walk straight to the bar area. Usually, we would sit at the bar, because we THOUGHT it would get us better & faster service. Not usually.
There was ONE male bartender there that was good, & one that was ok.
The female bartenders however— HORRIBLE.
A specific one I’m thinking of always looked like she should have been working in a strip club. She had BIG Texass style ratty hair (which I consider inappropriate in a restaurant atmosphere – if only for the hair in food likelihood). On top of this, she was lazy, bitchy, INTENTIONALLY ignored female customers (NOT JUST ME), was possibly racist (since on 1 night a black couple got into a screaming match with her for her bitchiness), and she flirted and ONLY paid attention to guys (single males & solo married guys eating alone) to the point where she forgot she was working in TGIF and NOT a strip club.
I complained about this slut bartender– but last I checked, she wasn’t fired.
UNREAL… considering this was not a 1 time occurrence.
Apparently, «NO ICE» or «VERY LITTLE ICE» in my drink are 2 phrases that NO WAITER OR WAITRESS understands.
While eating this wasn’t something to flip out over, but in my 12 or so times here NOT A FUCKING MORON HERE could get this right — AND I KNOW I SAID «NO OR VERY LITTLE ICE» OUT LOUD.
Out of all places in the world— I would NOT tip here.,
The restaurant is OBLIGATED to pay their workers minimum wage.
(****THIS IS STATE LAW EVERYWHERE!!! Waiters never make less than minimum wage, regardless of their lies.)
MAKE TGI FIDAYS pay their workers rather than YOU tipping these useless overpaid, sorry excuses for waiters.
Another MAJOR, MAJOR COMPLAINT is that TGI Fridays charges a 21% liquor tax IN ADDITION TO THE 8 point whatever sales tax.
SO IF YOU ORDER ALCOHOL HERE, YOUR BILL IS AUTOMATICALLY 21% higher than the same bill and order in another state.
THIS IS BULLSHIT. because A LOT of other chains include this tax in the cost of the drink. I actually think by NOT including it, they are breaking the law, but I cannot find the right agency to complain to about liquor tax gouging.

Took my family here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon after church service. The food was good, but the service was just so so. This was our third time eating here and the service is always the same, which is mediocre at best. The waitstaff really dont seem to care and the place always seems empty — probably a good sign to go somewhere else.

Pretty awkward from the moment we stepped in the door. As we were shown to our table, one waitress confronted another on how we could not sit at the designated table as it was being saved. Do we sit, do we not sit? I also found it strange that while the restaurant had a large line, the managers friends could get right in… not s good sign.
An usual substitution in Texas seemed to yield additional charges in a Oklahoma… hmm weird.
Food was served cold and we shouldn’t have to ask that the food be microwaved. Waitress was nice but she seemed Too much in a hurry to rush us out the door.
Overall it was the least impressed I have ever been sitting in a IHOP.

A few months ago my date and I waited 20 minutes for a glass of water and another HOUR for the food. We thought it just might have been a busy friday night, and were annoyed, but we shrugged it off as a busy night until we got our food. It was cold. It had to have been waiting the entire hour in the pass. We waited a few months and tonight decided to try again. Went in and we were seated immediately. Lots of empty tables and waitstaff walking everwhere. We sat… and sat… and sat. At least ten waiters walked by and none would even make eye contact. 15 minutes later and not even a nod in our direction, we realized that it was shaping to be a repeat performance and we were hungry. We left to a chorus of have a great evenings and a bored insincere did you want the manager? from the hostess. No, thanks, we will eat somewhere else.

This is the last place in OKC I’d go to eat. You’d be wise to read on.
I’ve been to this Friday’s twice. On the first visit, we waited well over 15 minutes to be asked for our drink order. We waited over an hour for food that was cold and tasteless.
On the second visit, we left after the 15 minutes spent waiting for a drink order.
Don’t waste your time. There are plenty of other options nearby.

Love their pretzel appetizer! Service was slow and awkward. Waiter seemed to not want to be there or had other things on his mind. Spoke so quietly we could barely hear him and reminded me of talking to human eeyore!
My pasta had balsamic vinegar on it which didn’t go with marinara in my mind. Neither one of us could handle more than a few bites it was such a bizarre flavor combination.
