TGI Friday’s

Awful!!! Laughable. Monday evening at Happy Hour and they are out of well/​house Bourbon. It’s a bar! Who orders for the bar? They do not want to give a house pour with the next «cheaper» Bourbon. The excuse is we will overdo it on better bourbon. It’s Monday and I’m getting an appetizer and am 5’4 and weigh 120! Not my fault you can’t order properly! $ 4.75 drink turns to $ 8.75! It’s principal not price. I should have payed attention to Porter Ranch TGIF dismal Unilocal reviews. Save your money… food is only mediocre too!

My friend suggested we go here to have a few drinks. The drinks do meet up to standard however the food & service definitely does not. We were literally standing for someone to greet us and ask if we wanted a table for a long time. I had to ask the rude waitress if we can just go and sit at the bar. I ordered the wings and a side of fries… worst wings I’ve ever had! May I add it gave me a really bad tummy ache the day after. The waitresses seem to be by far the rudest employees there. My friend and I had to keep looking to stop someone and ask to order, and for refills. they basically just kept walking past.

The commercials make it look like a great place but when you get here the wait is long (30 min) and very lil space to wait inside, so most are out in the cold waiting. Prices on menu seem about average till you get your plate. Very small portions for the price. Service was ok nothing much to write about. We did not order dessert cuz did not want to be disappointed. I guess it’s a bar that tries selling higher end food but they failed. Good job to the advertising agency on getting us in the door but it won’t work next time… now where is that Del Taco?

Came here on a Wednesday night only to be told 30 minutes later that they ran out of ribs and maybe next time we should go earlier. We paid for our drinks and left. No sorry or discount in order to change our minds or compensate our time.

I really wish I could give this place –5 stars
We came here to celebrate my birthday and service was bad from the start. We added 1 more person to our group which «forced“staff to give us a bigger table at the bar. The booth was filled with trash under the table and filled with bad attitudes from our server. Server came to ask us what we wanted to drink and as soon as my friend asked for water the server rolled her eyes like it bothered her. Soon after we experienced this, we got up, asked for the manager, told him about our bad experience and left! Their loss! And seems like we are not the only ones with a bad experience!

Very convenient for us being located in our neighborhood. It is definitely a bar like setting which we often prefer. The food is good.

For service like the one I got Friday night… I rather stay home and order pizza!
Bad experience don’t go to the TGIF in Porter Ranch. Employees are so RUDE and LAZY!!! It took the waiter 15 minutes to acknowledge my table just to say I’ll be right back to get your order. When we told him we were moving because more people were coming he said «if youre moving I can’t take your order because its a hazzle to transfer tickets»…WTH… Are you serious ???
So they gave us a booth in the bar and service got worse. There were plates and trash underneath the table we told the waitress and she ignore the complaint. She also gave us an attitude, was snappy, and rolled her eyes because my friend asked for a glass of water. We got up and asked to speak to the manager. We told him what had happened and didn’t do much. So the best thing to do was to walk out. It was their lost not ours.

I used to LOVE TGIFridays but my experience at the Porter Ranch location on Wednesday changed that opinion.
I was seated in a booth area of the bar because I was by myself and requested a private booth. Although my booth wasn’t pirate at all, I was still ignored for 20 minutes before someone came over and asked me if I wanted a water/​drink. I even had to get up and go find my own menu because nobody offered me one.
Over the course of my meal I ordered a Long Island iced tea, a Corona Light, a water, combination fajitas, chicken shrimp pasta, Jack Daniel’s sesame chicken strips and a side of broccoli (the last three items were to go).
1) After waiting 20 minutes to order my drink, it took the bartender and server another 15 minutes to make my Long Island iced tea give it to me! And then he still didn’t give me a water and I had to request it again.
2) The fajitas were a 3 out of 10. The cheese topping that comes on the side was hard and dark orange, like it had been sitting out open on the counter all night. The chicken, steak and rice were all chewy and over cooked as well.
3) The pasta’s shrimp and chicken pieces were so small and there weren’t any bell peppers or other veggies in it, as described by the menu description and pictures. They also forgot to give me garlic bread with it, and since it was a «to-​go» order, I didn’t find out until I was home. The portion was SOOO small too… I paid $ 15.49 for something that looked like a small lunch portion!
3) The side of broccoli was only about ½ cup for $ 2.99 and was also chewy and over-​cooked.
Overall, I paid over $ 60 for one person for the worst experience and meal that I’ve had in a LOOOONG time. Save yourself from bad food, bad service, rip off prices and small portions and go somewhere else!!!

Absolutely ridiculous place, garbage food, ok service. That’s not even the worst part the hosts and servers are always gathered in the front having their own meeting always. Playing with their hair, discussing random bs and the guest always has to wait to get their attention until they’re done their conversation. Plates and cutlery are always dirty. Thought I’d give it another chance, but no difference.

Always great service fast friendly and fun… great appetizers also!!! Matt and the other bartenders at the porter ranch location are the sweetest!

Worst experience ever.
Rude rude rude servers!
They took about 30 minutes to take our orders.
They took another 45 minutes in brining our food out and they got my food wrong. It took them
About 10 minutes to get my food out. They mixed up two of my friends orders. They messed up my friends drink. Manager was unprofessional. When we ordered shots we asked for the price she said its about 7 dollars we told her well online it says 4 so she said I’ll speak to my manager. she brought out the drinks before speaking to the manager. We didn’t drink the drinks until we spoke to the manager. he said he wasent aware of the offer so we showed him the tgifridays website and he said «thats not our website» my friend said «you don’t recognize your own website?» And he stayed quiet. He offered to give us a discount on one of the drinks lmao so i told him «no thank you, we don’t want the drinks» we asked to pay and they took FOREVER in brining us the receipts and they even took longer to charges us. What a fucken disaster! Never again!

Friday’s was such a awkward experience.
The floor was so dirty and sticky.
Next of all our utensils that were checked and wrapped in a napkin were disgusting, riddled with food. Our waitress was weird. She stood so far away from us while taking our order like we had a disease or something… literally she almost gave our drink refill to a whole wrong table. Fridays step your game up!

Been going here for years and always got great service.
1 star taken away because not too long ago, i came in and sat at the bar and had ordered the loaded potato skins… it did not look appetizing at all. It was hard to bite into ’cause it was burnt as hell (i asked the waiter if the potato skins were supposed to look burnt with cheese that looked like it came out of a spray can) he told me they changed the recipe. needless to say, i’m not ordering that ever again. everything else is fine as far as service and other foods off the menu (can’t go wrong with their buffalo wings) and alcoholic beverages are up to standard.
one thing i like most is that i can go straight to the bar instead of waiting with full service!

Four stars??? This isn’t because of the food or the drinks. This is because of the great hospitality some of the bartenders have here. They make it that much more enjoyable. Especially Clayton, who has been nothing but a great host with making sure that my glass and belly is always full.
This is why I keep coming back to this place. Not because of the food, not because of the food deals they have, but because of how some of the staff welcomes me.
Thanks for always letting me have a great time there!

Being on a diet is super hard. Especially when it’s a no butter low fat diet. Everything in this restaurant seems to have a lot of fat & grease with a few exceptions. I came here for knitting meetup. I like the fact that they can accommodate large groups. Not only that, the restaurant is easily accessible from the 118. Great parking. Just needs to work on the low fat food options.

Only thing i like to do here is come at 10am on Sundays to watch nfl games. Food isnt that good no matter what i order. Some edible some regretful. Looks much better on the menu. But i did have their baby back ribs once and really was shocked how good it was. I never ever come for dinner or bring family. …its a nightmare and freak show off the valley.
Service so so.

Went back a few times after not having been in a while. Sad to say but place went downhill. Wait for food is always over 30 min and there are only 2 other tables. Chicken now always comes super dry. Ate here again and now I’m sick. Food tasted off, I just thought it was made poorly. Now I know for sure it was old.
Then to top it off there was hair in my ribeye steak.

I enjoyed my quick dinner date at the bar. The bartenders were nice and friendly. I could tell one of them were in training because of her lack of knowledge on the menu but she was nice so I didn’t get annoyed. The drinks were good and the atmosphere was friendly. I didn’t use the restroom but my date did and said the men’s restroom was filthy. Overall I give them a 4 star rating because everything was pretty decent. Clean restrooms are a deal breaker for me so I hope they get it together before my next visit.

The place can’t help this… But it’s always obnoxiously loud when we come here.
I’m sorry to drill in a terrible review, but when I was a child, going to Friday’s was a huge deal. It was pretty swanky, with juicy and delicious entrees. It was a really classy treat.
The past three times I was invited here, to be honest the food seemed like something I could have microwaved at home. I feel like at some point they started cutting corners and you can really tell.
It was so crowded in there that I think we saw our server once. We asked for condiments and didn’t get them until we were done with the meal.
I wouldn’t really mind the crowds or the waits, if the food was worth it. I don’t think it is anymore. It’s disappointing because I have great memories of this place.

This place shouldn’t have such low reviews. It’s a chain restaurant, yes, and it can’t be anything other than what the chain is, but for the chain, they are doing well.
I’ve been here twice in the last month for lunch, once a late lunch, once an early lunch. Both times, we’ve been seated right away. The server was fantastic both times. Both times, my teacher friends and I sat to grade for quite a long time, and they didn’t seem to mind at all. The server refilled our drink constantly. The lunch specials are a fantastic deal. I got the tomato soup (which is a little on the thick side) and a garden salad. Both were prepped well and tasted fresh. The new table top things where you can check out right at the table are really cool.
So… I can only speak for lunch, but I really don’t understand the low rating on this place. I think it is good for what it is.
