TGI Friday’s

Been to one in Compton and the food is better there but the service is better in south gate. Ribs were smaller portion and they were burned.

PLEASE PLEASE DON’T GO TO THIS LOCATION. Bad service is an understatement. Food is not well prepared and staff doesn’t care, from the cooks to the servers, but their carelessness is just a reflection of management. When you see the pictures of how our sizzling chicken and cheese came out you will understand.

Worst services by far!
This my first and last coming to this «Friday Resturant.»
Unprofessional they messed up my order and the wait was horrible.

This place sucks bad service bad food hostesses bad Manager didn’t even came to ask how was service worse experience
Cerritos TGIF is the best !!!

I should have looked at the reviews. The cook is awful! They have no idea what a med-​rare steak is that was my 1^st experience with this restaurant 2 weekends ago. Today went in for plain old hot wings and apparently that cook works all the time because my hot wings were super dry! Someone didn’t put sauce on them! Not going back for a 3^rd time. That cook needs to get fired! I would been better off at rallys. Find another tgif and save yourself the aggravation.

I would never go here again. we had a party of 6 we were told it would be a 30 minute wait which took 45 minutes. There were 5 greeters standing around chatting, laughing while there was a large table available for our party. I had to go tell them if we can have that table I was told it dirty and had to wait so it took another 15 minutes just to get seated. We finally get to order and our server was super nice but our food was super cold didn’t want to complain because we waited so long for a table. The food was terrible nothing compare to TGI in long beach.

Food ok, but the service was horrible. First they asked us about 10times how many ppl in our party which I found funny lol but that wasn’t the issue. Main problem they ran out of «tap beer» which I don’t understand how they could have that happen, especially on a Friday night?! So ok aside from that got a shot one for me and one for my girl took about 15mins.
Overall service is horrible, takes wayyyy to long to get drinks and honestly my girl wanted to walk out which I found again funny lol cause she isn’t that type but I should’ve listened. Not worth the money I spent. Wouldn’t visit again

Sucks ! Fries were cold we sent them back and not even two minutes later they sent basically same batch with less fries and seemes as tho they place on high in microwave. Also not the best potato skins … We haven’t even gotten out main dishes and already wanna take off and go somewhere else even home and eat a plate of cereal ;) … Sucky ass restaurant … Didn’t even greet us at the entrance

DO NOT COME HERE!!! Horrible service!!! It was a late Sunday night, the restaurant was EMPTY and everything took FOREVER!!! We asked our waiter for refills and he never brought them out to us. Twenty minutes later we asked another employee for refills.
Will not be coming back to this T.G.I.Fridays! No thank you!!!

AVOID THE SOUTH GATE TGI FRIDAYS, DRIVE THE EXTRA FEW MILES TO A DIFFERENT ONE!
If I could give zero stars I would. We came here thinking it would be a nice experience since they bearly built and opened this one, but the service was HORRIBLE. The waitress, Ana, never checked on us and they weren’t even busy, got our order wrong and overcharged us, then the manager, John Llamas wouldn’t even fix it for us when It was clearly her fault.
Then they could not accept my coupon because the system was down, but before I even ordered the «free appetizer» I asked to make sure it was the right one for the coupon, that’s the only reason I ordered it because it would have been free. Ended up paying 12.59 $ for it.
The manager, JOHN LLAMAS, I don’t even know where to begin, I don’t know how he even qualifies to be a manager. No customer service skills what so ever. Doubt he graduated from college. NEVER going back, I recommend driving farther to another one than come to the South Gate TGI Fridays.

Been here numerous times and was always happy, until today! My husband and I liked to come here on weekends, the food and drinks are reasonable specially when it’s Happy hour you can’t go unhappy.
Usually we sit right away at the bar but today our son joined us so we had to wait for a table. The hostess informed me that it would be a 45 min wait which was ok until I saw numerous tables empty & not cleaned. That is when I asked for the manager to see what was the hold up. Immediately the manager apologized and was able to seat us within 5 min after I spoke with him.
Our waitress, Nancy, was nice. Our first round of drinks came within 5 min of ordering as well as our appetizers within 10 min. One of the appetizers was The Jack Daniels Sliders, which we’ve had, was missing the caramelized grilled onions so I brought it to our waitress attention who apologized and offered a new order of the same, free of charge, served correctly. We waited for about 30 minutes for another manager to tell us they ran out of grilled onions. This was my husbands appetizer so they offered the same but without onions, he said that was ok. That excuse was absurd because who runs out of onions at this type of restaurant?
Lastly, I didn’t use the restroom but my friend did and she has one word for it: DISGUSTING! She said the 3 stalls were filthy with feces and paper all around on the seats and floor.
All in all, I’m disappointed this time around. My friends will definitely not join us here if there’s even a next time. Clearly management has changed.

The beer is great but the service is the worst waitress never came by to ask if anything was ok came in with a huge appetite ordered appetizer to start and she never came back to check if was ready to order my buddy had to ask another waitress for assistance not cool he ordered and I refuse to eat here. Gonna finish my beer pay my tab and off to WINGHOUSE Never again will I come back

Down the street from my house I can even walk. Service was good, food was good can’t comain with happy hour. It’s convienent for me and my
Friends because we can walk down the street enjoy drinks and food at an affordable
Price and best of all neither of us have to drive.

The manager of the night shift on Thursday night 12÷3÷15 is the worse! His server messed up our orders all night He refused to take responsibility after his server accepted the bad service. We all talked to him but denied any discount for our bill. Never going back to this location. Stay away!

This must be the worst TGIF I have ever been to. The waitress, Donna, was not attentive and rarely checked up to see if we were doing fine. I had to ask one of the bussers to give me a refill.
The food was okay. For some reason the food here at this TGIF did not taste as fresh as others.
I asked for a Strawberry Passion Fruit Tea. As soon as my drink arrived, I took two gulps of it and that was it. 3 quarters of the cup was nothing but ice! This is unacceptable. I told Donna about the situation and asked her to bring the Manager. The Manager’s name was John. He didn’t give me a refill nor did he do anything about the situation. All he said was that just because its tea you have to fill it up with ice. When have we heard of this? Never have I gone to a restaurant and my cup is almost full with ice. I can not believe this.
I truly do not recommend this place to any one around the area. This was the second time I tried this place. First time was a disaster as well. My girlfriend and I encountered a fly in our drink and once again nothing was done about it and they still charged us for it.
I’m going to pay my bill now, and I will never be back to this place.

Friday’s on a Friday
Black Friday at that
It’s great enjoyed happy hour and might be the luck of the draw but some nice company to bring in Saturday.
The bartenders did me right and service was on point if not slightly sluggish.
The atmosphere is what did It. A couple of beautiful women to lighten the mood

Had dinner with family last night after a long drive that day. The service was just okay. We ordered drinks and they take so long to make them. My family ordered a mojito and two Mai tai’s that tasted like just a sugar rush. I ordered a tiramisu martini that was definitely not what it looks like in the picture or like the last time I was there. Every time I chi back to that place the drinks are less full but you get charged the same price. I asked the waiter to make sure the next martini was not a half martini and when he brought it I just laughed a little. The presentation of it was ugly and again it was pretty low in the actual martini. Although I was told that «that’s how a martini is» I’ve been there previously and they did not look like last night. Very disappointed but especially disappointed that they don’t put the clients first.

I went to this restaurant for the special occasion, and this was my very first visit to TGI Friday’s. The dish I order was the baby back ribs dish with side of vegetables. This baby back ribs was more spicier than the ribs in BJ’s. I’m looking forward to visit this restaurant again.

Service was really slow in the beginning but definitely picked up after a bit. Waiter was really friendly, and more importantly, patient with us. Very enthusiastic and fun to talk to. Probably the highlight of our visit there
Everything on their menu seemed so irresistible, but we settled for 2 person $ 20 special since it was such a great deal. You get a select few appetizers to choose from along with their list of entrees, which isn’t half bad. Not to mention your choice of dessert at the end.
The prime steak pasta was ok and the steak was actually really tender. Not chewy at all. I had my first red velvet cake here and it was delicious :-)
They’re open late so its a great place to grab a bite after a night of shopping at the nearby 24-​hour Walmart

Met my sister and nephew here for lunch. My sister raved about how she enjoyed the $ 12 app option at the Compton TGIF, so we opted for that.
First off, the service was slow. It wasn’t that crowded, so couldn’t understand why. But, our hostess was nice and accommodating.
As far as the food, meh! I first ordered the pot stickers. They were not cooked properly. There wasn’t a crisp to them. Then I got some boneless wings (aka chicken nuggets) with I think was a bourbon sauce. But I wanted the miso sauce, but they didn’t have it. Anyway, my wings tasted like chicken nuggets with teriyaki sauce. Alright I guess. My son and sister ordered the loaded potato skins. Both couldn’t eat them because they were too greasy!
After paying my tab, I wish I’d just took my money and went to In N Out or Chipotle. I would have paid less and been satisfied.

Desde que llegamos la camarera tenia mala cara y antes que pudiera saludarla, ella levamto la mano y me dijo «one miment please» y se fue… al poco rato regreso otra persona nos asigno la mesa. La mesera muy amable, peeo la comida … Espantosa, yo pedi unas costillas en BBQ wue estaban mas que resecas y mis vegetales estaban como viejos,. Mi esposo pidio algo wue miro en la foto que no se miraba nada igual… era una montaña de pasta reseca y dos pedazos de pollo sin sabor. Pedimos alguna salsa para darle un poco de sabor al plato… pero nunca llego. Mi hijo pidio unos chicken fingers y no pudo comerse ni uno de lo duros que estabam. Espantoso!!! No vayan porfavor
