T.G.I. Friday’s

For the past 2 Christmases, we went to T.G.I. Friday’s for lunch. Despite how busy they were (as they were one of the only restaurants open on Christmas), the service was incredible. The staff was both friendly and nice. Even though they were busy and jam-​packed from the holiday crowd, the waiters and waitresses put in a great amount of effort into making sure our meal was pleasurable. Our food came out faster than expected. The food was both delicious and filling, and at the same time unique. The whole table shared an appetizer of deep-​fried green beans, and though we do not like green beans, we enjoyed them.
Overall, T.G.I. Friday’s is a good place to grab a quick bite to eat in Happy Valley.

Food was good but service was below average. I asked for water with my wine and meal which I never received. Also, nobody followed up on how meal was. I should add I was in the bar.

I used to think Fridays was the bomb.
Not so much anymore.
Only thing worth a darn on the menu is the Jack Dan. stuff… which is getting real old.

It’s no wonder there are only 2 left, I’m sure most people are wisely going elsewhere.
I ordered the French dip and was very disappointed. The aju was good, but super tiny sandwich.
Wife liked her burger, mainly the Jack Daniels sauce.
Son had American stacked burger and halfway ate it.
Overall, service was okay, food was so so, but way over priced. I will not come here again.

Really great service and food! There was 9 of us and the service was fast! Definitely will be coming back.

Super slow service, I’m talking snail pace and this is on a Wednesday night. Seems like a lot of teenagers running the place, too busy giggling in the back to let us pay our bill. Not that I ever expect much at a chain restaurant.

This was my 3^rd time being at this restaurant and I must say all 3 times this place was awful. I used to love Fridays and not sure what happened but it’s awful now at this location. The server was good but oblivious to what I was trying to complain about in regards to food. The mozzarella sticks tasted like chalk and had a bad taste to them. I ordered chicken tenders and fries and those came out chalky and gross. I tried to tell that to the server and she just smiled and said ok. I paid the check and left the whole food there because I didn’t eat any of it. The fries were also bad as well. I will not be coming back again. 3 strikes and you are out with me

Well the TGIF website says unlimited appetizers is ongoing however this location does not honor it?

The photos on the menu go beyond missleading. On entering a host seated the two of us in a booth meant for five. Drooping one set of silverware on the table, he slouched off without a word. The server took drink orders. She dropped waters off mid march like the table was a Forrest fire, no lemon.
On ordering steak and lobster, both distinctly tasted frozen and microwaved. The steak was lukewarm. The lobster was cool. The fries were unseasoned and cold. It seemed my order was sat in the window for some time. The steak lacked any salt and was drenched in butter. The lobster was charred dry and crunched sickeningly.
As a line cook in a french kitchen, this lack of pride in service and mishandling of entrees was appalling. I payed fifty dollars to eat this meal. I would pay more to forget it ever happened.

Placed a corporate order to go for lunch for four today.
They don’t seem to have an online system of ordering. I had to arrive 30 minutes before lunch, place the order and then sit there waiting for it.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the flavor of their lunches but they were ALL loaded into the to-​go bags upside down, so it was pretty messy.
My lunch, French Dip, was missing the dip. That really changed the sandwich, unfortunately. It wasn’t too busy today so there should’ve been no excuses.
Very disappointing to serve my boss such a mess. Doubt if I will use TGIF for corporate lunches again.

So my buddy thought it would be a good idea to go here after he saw the commercials for endless appetizers. Finally we end up going after a solid workout session and they made them endless for a reason. They taste cheap and are not even worth the $ 12 that they are. And to top it off when it came time to pay I gave the waiter my card and he charge it on someone else’s tab. It was 8 o’clock on a Tuesday, the place was practically empty. Not okay.

The food was very delicious and fresh, however, the first server we had sucked! We talked to the manager he gave us an amazing waitress and free dessert. So all in all it was an ok dinner. The manager there cares about his customers satisfaction.

So this is a busy Thursday afternwork and we come in with a group of 10 all reared and ready to get some half price happy hour appetizers. Unfortunately the half price apps are only available in the bar area. And the bar. Sadly was full.
We did our best to work our way into the bar but to no avail. Just when we were ready to throw in the towel the manager offered for us to get the half price apps but be able to sit at a table. We all rejoiced for the great fortune and awesome service and luck. The bartender was nothing but sweet and the food just tasted that much better
I went with the sriracha wings. Awesome. Also with the southwest quesadilla. Also good. I mean food is food. But service can’t be imitated no matter how good your chef is. That is why it’s 5

TGIF. I now know what it stands for — That Grimy Icky Feeling. Everything was dirty and sticky. The seat, the table, the menu and the salt & pepper shakers were sticky and stained. The burgers were ok, but you can get the same burger at Carl’s Jr. Definitely won’t be doing this place again.

Not that impressed. This chain gets worse with age it appears. They are charging over 25 bucks for the ribs now — last time I checked that was what fancy restaurants charge for that stuff. TGIF should not be featuring entrees over 20 bucks and their 2 for $ 20 menu needs a severe face lift as nothing has changed in a decade. As for the food ordered, the balsamic chicken salad was drenched in too much dressing, the chicken fingers were frozen and the menu system is confusing.
We tried to get happy hour, but that is only available in the bar which was too crowded. I could have ordered from the bar and brought it back to my table, but that seemed annoying. We then discovered another menu (on request only) that gave us access to cheap appetizers in the dining room only. Very strange and if I hadn’t looked at the website earlier, I would have never know about the secret TGIF menu. The $ 5 boneless wings were the best item with the new Memphis BBQ sauce, but beyond appetizers, eat at your own risk.

It has been a year since I was last here. The service was excellent, far superior from my last experience. New menu, lots of options. Service and food was great tonight!

The wife and I had the endless appetizer deal they have going on at TGI Friday’s. All the appetizers were good, except for one and our server made our experience really well. Prices are what to be expected at a place like TGI Friday’s so that was nice. Overall, it’s a nice place to eat at if you’re shopping at Norterra.

The service was really ridiculous
My family waited 10 min to get our drinks & appetizer order, then waited another 10 min. for drinks still waited ½ hr for just a small salad to come. Total of 40 min waiting and no food, and no appetizer came We left and canceled our order. We went to Red Robbins across the parking lot. Go there.

My dining experience at T.G.I. Friday’s started out exceptional. There was absolutely no wait (which I found odd for a Saturday night). The staff sat us in a booth (which was preferable due to us having four children). And our server was amazing and attentive.
As excellent as everything was up to this point it saddens me to say that the food itself was… off. My cheeseburger was under-​cooked. My son couldn’t finish his kid’s cheeseburger saying «every time I take a bite I feel like I’m going to throw up.» And my wife said something with her Parmesan crusted flounder tasted weird. She said she couldn’t determine if it was the fish itself or the breading but considering how sick it’s made her already I’m assuming it was the fish itself.
The rating I’m giving this experience is driven primarily on the quality of the food. When the food itself has your family feeling sick afterward it isn’t a good thing. I may come back someday, but it probably won’t be anytime in the near future.

Finally made it out there again with a $ 25 gift card. Steak and lobster time for this lady. Hubby had ribs and shrimp and we shared our sides, sweet potato fries, ginger lime coleslaw, and the tomato mozzarella salad.
My steak was very juicy and tender and the lobster was pretty good too. My husband’s ribs were also very flavorful and cooked just right.
They do however need to work on their sides. The coleslaw didn’t taste like lime or ginger and was kind of soggy. The tomato mozzarella salad needs some type of dressing, I suggest balsamic vinegar. The sweet potato fries are good– I really like those.
