TGI Friday’s

We had the potato skins which are very over priced for what you get. Then we had baby back ribs which were outstanding. Our waitress was excellent. Always enjoy going here & will be back.

Stopped in after a day of shopping hoping for a nice meal and a cold beer. Xavier was our waiter and asked for our drinks. I saw on the menu their list of beers (since I couldn’t see the bar) and asked for a Fat Tire. He didn’t know what that was and I told him a beer and he said he never heard of it. He came back and said they were out. I asked for a Sam Adams and again he said they were out. He never once came back with a list of the beers they did have on tap and apparently is not aware that people who order alcohol tend to tip higher. I just told him to get me a sweet tea. We ordered and I asked for the Bourbon Chicken. He didn’t know what it was and had to look at the menu. He started to finish the order and walk away and I told him it said I got two sides and he had to look at the menu again. He brought the food and asked if it looked OK but before I could answer he walked to the table behind us that was loaded with teenage girls and stood talking to them. The chicken was a small little 5oz piece and the «seasoned fries» had not one flake of seasoning. I normally tip 20% but he got far less. Lack luster food and horrible service from someone who loves to eat out but knows how to cook and about customer service.

Justin was our waiter and while I feel he had too many tables for one person he was very professional and kind. Our food was hot and amazing. I absolutely love the Sizzling Chicken and Cheese plate. You can hear it coming to you and the amount of cheese they put on it is awesome. I also love the Jack Daniel’s Sauce they offer on different menu items. They are also offering unlimited refills on appetizers right now a great thing to have during game night! I’m happy that my family lives in Tyler and my husband and I actually get a dinner here together without kids.
Would I return? Yes, I missed TGIF when we moved to the greater Seattle area. This is one chain I am very happy to add to my dinner list when my husband and I go out to eat.

Horrible service! My food was ok, but my coworker’s pasta had been put in the microwave which left parts of the pasta cold. We will never go back!

Got the potsticker and cheese sticks they were great the jewel of the meal was the ribeye and mephis rib the ribs were great not chewy like most places the steak was cooked the way i liked it rare

Went here today for lunch with my girlfriend. Was greeted by no one at first until the host came from around the corner, smacking his gum. Even though I was talking directly to him and looking at him, he decided to stare at my girlfriend and talk to her. In fact, he stopped by our table at least 3 times to ask «if everything was ok» again staring at her. We were just fine with the attention our waitress was giving us. Our waitress had to tell the host to leave her alone (It seemed like he was more interested in picking up girls than doing his job). If for no other reason, we won’t be back due to the unwanted attention and staring from the host. Otherwise, mostly retired looking people eating lunch today. Our waitress was nice and checked up on us several times. We were hoping for a 2 for 20 menu but to no avail. My gf ended up getting skewered chicken (she said they were good) and I got the endless buffalo wings (which were alright). We had a clean table and quick service. Next time though, we’ll go to AppleBee’s for their 2 for 20 and hope we don’t get a stalker/​lurker host.

I love this place! I usually sit at a booth in the bar and get half priced appetizers which are all very good. My favorite is the pretzels and beer cheese. Their drink specials are some of the best in town and happy hour is all day! I’ve always gotten excellent service when I’ve come here as well!

THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD AT A TGI FRIDAYS!
I don’t even know where to begin. My family, friends and I were staying at the Villages resorts and decided to go here for dinner. We were a party of 10. Our server was the WORST EVER! My friend ordered a beer and there was a little piece of chicken floating in it! YES CHICKEN! Disgusting. We told the server, and she seemed unbothered. We had to literally go to the bar to find out what happened. Ordering took forever! One of the people in my party is a vegetarian and she ordered potato skins without bacon, letting the server know specifically she couldn’t eat meat, and of course they come out with bacon. Food took forever. Almost everyone’s order was messed up. Fries instead of mashed potatoes. and other mistakes. Drinks were BARELY refilled and empty plates were never taken away. Table was full of junk! Disgusting. I had a free dessert coupon and of course the wrong dessert was brought out! One of my friends went outside to have a cigarette and she let the server know that she would be right back, but she threw her food away anyway without asking, and she barely ate any of it. While paying, all the checks were mixed up and items had to be moved from check to check. I wanted to have my stripes added to my account and she kept telling me that my phone number was wrong even though I showed her directly from my account on my TGI FRIDAYS app. Finally she used the account number and it worked. Took forever to receive change. We had a manager come out and speak to us because of how terrible the service was, he removed the food that was taken off of my friends check but she still left hungry. DISASTER! I advice everyone to go somewhere else if hungry, this location is not worth the wait or the service. At least I have to compliment the kitchen though, the food THAT WAS BROUGHT OUT CORRECTLY was good.

Hadn’t been to a Friday’s in I can’t even tell you how long. My fiancé’s parents were in town so we all went and all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I always get the jack Daniels chicken with broccoli & mashed potatoes, yummmm.

Food was great as usual. Server was outstanding… I commend miss Shelby for her attention to my allergy. She took time to inform kitchen staff and manager to ensure my safety. Thank you Shelby we enjoyed every minute of dinner.

Took forever to be greeted by waiter. Seated near kitchen where staff are yelling at each other and throwing things. Waiter getting ice and slamming lid so hard it sounds like a gunshot. Yikes!
Bartender called wait staff over to sample a mixed drink before he sent it out.

Big menu, but nothing I have ever had would make me want to crave this place. The bar itself is a good place to catch a game. This place is never, ever crowded, so it’s a last resort if everywhere in Tyler is crowded.

Stopped in for quick bite, got 3 platter appetizer– green beans crisp, wing cooked well & pot sticker were excellent; but service was lacking– table next to us stacked dirty glass with «water» and silverware had to ask some to please remove that mess, got a go to h_​_​_​look and food came out and no more service. Afternoon crowd was lite no not sure where service was??? Will get same appetizers but will do it take out!

Young, inexperienced nervous server — took her 10 – 15 minutes to realize that we had been seated in her area — did not say a word when she came up to the table — took our drink order and fairly quickly returned with our drink order — and apologized for taking so long on the drinks. She ended up comp-​ing the drinks, and did not say a word about it. I had a party of two, and we were drinking soft drinks — not that big a deal from a $$ standpoint, but she sure made points with me by doing a class act for screwing up.
Food was good, not great — standard Friday’s fare. Portion size was small for the money.
Overall, it was a nice change. Decent, not great. I visit the area with regularity and have no hesitation on coming back. I will not visit every-​time, but I will put it into the rotation.

I love having a girl’s night out. I don’t go clubbing anymore and I don’t like going to bars. My girls and I enjoy going out to Friday’s in Tyler. We can sit there for hours and hang out having a blast. The staff and management are great and if you’ve ever eaten at at Fridays then you know the food is good too! This is a good place to go with your girls or even with your guys.
