Diabetics at TGI Friday

If you're a diabetic, then you must be extra careful while dining at TGI Friday. Try the salad menu at TGI Friday to keep your sugar and sodium intake in check. Soups are great to keep you full and satisfied without munching on the unhealthy greased meat-based dishes on TGI Friday menu.

Foods to Avoid at TGI Friday for Diabetics:

Sugar and sodium intake are crucial if you have diabetes. While the salads are the best option for you at TGI Friday, it is recommended to avoid the Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad containing over 1000 calories and 1,650mg sodium. Also, skip Warm Pretzels with Craft Beer-Cheese dipping sauce as it contains more than 3000mg sodium. It is wise to skip the dessert for diabetics, especially the Brownie Obsession topped with Vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and pecans.

Foods to Avoid at TGI Friday for High Blood Pressure

While the salads are healthy at TGI Friday, you must skip the Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad. You should also avoid Jack Daniel's Ribs and Shrimp at TGI Fridays for its high sodium content. Appetizers are the best to ensure that you don't eat too much while dining outside.

This place is better than the nearby Applebees, but it still was not that great. It was pretty expensive for what you got, and also the music is soooo loud that you have to shout at your friends so they can hear you, that made it unconfortable dining there. Overall, this place is Ok, even though our server was nice, I would probably not return.

Two stars is generous, it should really be one and a half. The food is decent and they have a good happy hour, that's about it though. The service sucks overall and the staff doesn't make you feel welcome at all. It seems like they are more interested in socializing and goofing off with their friends than doing their job well. There are also bouncers or whatever for the bar who check your id who are really rude, unprofessional and unpleasant....unless you're a friend of theirs or a chick dressed like a skank. The bar is the only good part of this place. They have good happy hour deals and the bartenders are always pretty friendly. It can get real busy at times, and once when it took forever to get my beer the bartender gave me a free one after I finished. I like coming to the bar for happy hour, It just sucks having to deal with those guys at the door. The one time I have sat down at a table the service was unimpressive. Our server looked bored and she would ignore us/disappear for long periods of time after saying our food was "almost ready." It doesn't matter if our food is taking longer than usual, JUST TELL US instead of leaving us hanging like that. She also forgot to give my boyfriend his credit card back after he paid and we had to return the next day. There are tons of other places at Union Landing that has employees that can actually communicate with people, you're better off going to one of those. Unless you dress like a skank, then your experience will probably be awesome.

I haven't been to a TGI Friday's in a long time, mostly because there are other options however I had a "Buy one entree and 2 drinks get the second entree for free" coupon so my friend and I went there for dinner. I am beyond confused as to how they stay in business, let alone are always jam packed full of people. Hostess: says hello then stars at us blankly. I had to say "um.. two please.' Upon which she walked as slow as possible to our table. Waiter: I think speedy here had about 500 cups of coffee because he spoke so fast I could barely understand him. I even mentioned that he was speaking fast and he said it was because he knew I was going to say something so he wanted to get it out... but he talked this way all night. Service: Slow as heck. There were a lot of people in here, but being it was a Tuesday it wasn't packed. It look us over 30 minutes to get our very simple order. Food: I guess the bun was bigger than the burger patty so they cut the burger patty in half to make it look like it took up the whole bun. They forgot my bacon and the green bean fries were cold. We split a piece of the red velvet cake... very little flavor and super dense. I have had better from a grocery store. I give it 2 stars because it wasn't horrendous but I will not be going back here. Ever.

Having read some of the reviews about customer service at TGI Friday's I have to say I am a bit surprised. We had Ottilia as our server and this was one of my, "Food Always Taste Better When You Have A Great Server" moment. My daughter and I were impressed at how attentive Ottilia was, recommending her favorite soup, and stopping by our table several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I overheard her getting compliments from the booth next to us so this girl is doing something right . Management, PLEASE acknowledge this employee for having a great attitude and above average customer service!

Compared with Chili's, their 3 for $20 and 2 for $10 are comparable in value but gives me more versatility. The atmosphere is definitely more active and service a bit better than Chili's. And there was a bit more options here. Maybe it is a Wednesday but, there were no real crowds and it was very safe without any rowdy bar crowds. To me however, I liked the Chili's steak dinner (2 for $20) than here (3 for $20) because Chili's steak was more tender and the mash potato more flavorful (maybe it was the bacon). However the dessert and service made up for that gap. I believe there eagerness for the grill marks or the way the steak was cut, ruined the steak for me. If you are really picky about the steak, at this price I would recommend Chili's (the nachos and guacamole was also good). However the flexibility and offerings is your thing, then this is a better place for the price. Because of the steak I wanted to give this place 3 stars, but the other aspects earn them an extra star. If the steak was better they might have even gotten the last star due to the price and value.

Went for some dinner bartender serve me a glass of beer three quarters full one quarter foam, I don't think they know how to serve beer, I got NO napkins for my food order not to mention they downgraded they can't even serve your burger and fries on the plate!! I got my order on a clipboard with some wax paper underneath that's VERY SAD!! that's why I'm giving it one star everytime I go there now its like the service gets downgraded with every time, bartenders are checking their cell phones instead of the customers, I should have sat a table instead for better service, plus i wasn't even asked what side i would like with my burger they assumed fries, I actually wanted the chips, and of course there's always that friend of a waiter or bartender always coming up and showing stuff on their phone to them while working, I think that's the last time for me going there atleast sitting at the bar, what's funny the shift mgr is right there and is oblivious to the whole thing!!

If you read my reviews you'll see a recurring trend - any place that messes up my Jameson + ginger order usually gets a low rating (it is just 70/30 ginger ale + Jameson, after all). Friday's swung and missed three times on this one. 1) It was listed in their special drinks menu. That alone was a bit suspect. 2) When it arrived, the color was dark as cola. I knew something was wrong before I even tasted it. I gave it a sip and sure enough, it had a strange spiced rum flavor to it. Even my friend, who was trying this for the first time, knew they messed up. 3) Usually when this drink tastes off it's because the bar blends their own ginger ale instead of just using Canada Dry. So I asked the waitress, who then checked with the bartender, whose response was "we do use Canada Dry but it's dark because we added extra Jameson." Bullshit. That may fool any other unsuspecting patron but not me. I regularly hang out in what is known as the home of Jameson and ginger ale, the Marina in San Francisco. I've drank so much of this shit that I've become a Marina douchebag and am one shot from being a Marina hipster. So don't even try to lie to me about Jameson formulas and just admit you fucked up my order and poured Parrot Bay or whatever the fuck that poison was in my glass.

I don't like giving bad reviews but seriously, This place doesn't even deserve the 1 star I'm giving.. Poor Jessica (my fiancÃ©) got food poisoning from her broccoli and cheddar soup... Our server Jesse was about the only this that was decent. The food was microwaved, and cold.. And when i confronted the manager about it, i told him, "if I wanted a cold microwaved dinner, i would have stayed home." This is about the time when he decided to comp the bill.. Whatever happend to "cooking" I guess chain restaraunts don't do this anymore.. Very dissapointed T.G.I Fridays.. From the tie i walked in the door, you failed miserably, you sat us at a table that was missing a chair, next to the computer kiosk that all the servers hover around to snicker and bs... Who are all too busy watching the game(s) to notice anything or anyone else in the restaraunt. You guys couldn't even give us clean silverware & glassware.. :( Needless to say I won't be visiting a fridays again.

This tgifs IS better than the one in Pleasanton but its not as amazing as a few others I've been to. They do make reservations for parties more than 8. I went here for my 21st birthday with a group of 16. It took me so long to make the reservation though, they passed me off to 3 or 4 people and none of them seemed to know what tgey were doing. When I got there at my reserved time, they told me they wouldn't seat me unless half my party was there, and shuffled us aside. Its not my fault if some people in my group were late, and they should have let us know beforehand that they wouldn't seat us until half the party was there. I arrived with 7 and they still wouldn't seat us, not to mention they didn't even have a table set up. Even when they did set the table up they wouldn't seat us, even though wer had an oder lady with us with a broken foot who couldn't stand for long. Once everyone did get there, we must have waited maybe an hour and a half for the food. I didn't time it, but it was at least an hour. That said, the food here is pretty good. Not as good as some but certainly better than pleasanton. The 4 stars is for the jack daniels chicken and shrimp and they nice wait staff who have always been attentive

Yay for TGI Friday's! My review will be on the bar, and not the restaurant. Never had experience with any of the hostess' or waiters. Everytime I come here, I walk straight to the bar. Usually come during happy hour (3-7) and appetizers are 50% off! yay! Beer is still 3.50 (typical price). Came here Saturday night with my friend, and since appetizers were 50% off, we ordered more appetizers than we could eat. $4 for a big plate of fried green beans? Common, who can beat THAT?! Same bartenders everytime I come here. Really friendly, curteous, and professional. Everytime I come, I eyeball (mean mug) the mexican bartender, because my first drink at turning 21, I came to Friday's, and he didn't card me.. aww, NO FUN! Haha, but he's a friendly guy. The patio area is right outside the bar too, so you can go out there and chill and smoke too. My favvvvvorite place, and I'm a regularrrr!(:

terrible!!! came to have some good laughs, talks, food, and drinks with some folks (4 of us) on 8/10. the waitress we had in the bar area ashley fullbright (yes ill put yo scamming ass on blast) so we had about 30 mins to happy hour and she was ok until she came back the second time. felt like she pushed us to order. as 10pm came around we ordered exactly a three for all, 4 margaritas, 1 electric blue lemonade, 1 raspberry tea, 2 burgers, and buffalo wings. chips and dip are free if you have a fridays card (which we had). so as we get our drinks, food, etc... ms. ashley never served us (wasn't even busy) she comes back once asks us if there was anything else we wanted we said yea more water, and a raspberry tea refill...she never comes back with water or the refills, but was sure to bring the bill. Bill came out to be 78.68 not excluding the chips and dip. i asked her to take it off since i did have a card...she comes back and gives me change for it. so we pay with 62.00 cash and i put the rest on my card which was 16.86. the bizzie puts 26.86 on my card which wasn't right so i tear the store copy receipt and told her to bring a new one thats right...she never did. so we leave. i then look at my acct sunday morning and she charged the whole damn bill to my card and took the 62.00 as her time. first off you weren't deserving of any tip, second thats your job don't like it get another!!! i go back and a manager by victor tries to help me by saying that my card was only charged for 26.86 told his thats not what is on my banks end, told em i want a copy of the card swipe, and new receipt since she should of gave me one! i get the info take it to my back just in case and now just waiting...if you go there make sure you dont have ashley as your waitress!!! will i go back...depending

Got their Stripes Card and registered for a free appetizer. When I got there they said I didn't exist as a card member... And then they took about 45 minutes to bring out our appetizer...and another 15 till the food came out.... And my dessert was stale... And our waiter was ugly.

I am SO GLAD, I'm not the only one who thinks the service here sucks! I've been here many times for a beer but lately I've tried to have food here and each time its been a disaster. Including MAKING ME SICK! Honestly, This is such a long horror story I don't have time to write it all down. It would be pages and pages. Let me sum it up. Trip #1 *it took my substitute waiter 30+ minutes to take my order. I had to go to the waiter's station and get him to come take our order. *He gets my order wrong and then complains that he has to take it back. *the food arrived and looked like S**T. I've complained about food twice in my life, and this was one. I tell him and he says "Well...don't shoot the messenger" WTF?! act like an adult and at least attempt to take care of it. *I point to the $4 beer special on the menu. My tab says its $8. I ask what happened? "Oh, the $4 one was the 16oz. you had a different one." Yeah I stiffed the waiter and I've never EVER done that before, but he had it coming. I even wrote WHY I did it on the back of the bill. Trip #2 Same waiter arrives (whoopee) *everyone's food arrives. Theirs is fine. - 5 hours later I'm throwing up and thats the only thing I had eaten all day. COINCIDENCE? I've only given Two, 1 star reviews. Congratulations on being one of them.

let's keep this short and sweet(well salty in this case) this is for dinner: (we had a huge party) half the table was helped then the other half was helped 15 minutes later. thus resulting the other half gettin their food 15 minutes later. wtf. come on. like relaly? and they just dont really care everything is very salty. the price was not all that. parking sucks too. and we had to wait like 30 minutes before gettin seated. just, not good. lol. BLAH. not coming back thats for sure. probaly not even for their happy hour. lol.

Apparently Fridays is the place to be for the Union City crowd on Friday and Saturday nights! Ive come here both nights and it is PACKED. During happy hour, they card at the door, so I guess you can't grab a food unless you're 21+. Since it's so crowded, it's hard to find seats at the bar. Fortunately, they have a lot of tables off to the side considered part of the "bar" for happy hr. Seating isn't the big problem, it's getting served. After the first round of drinks came out, one of my friends was still missing his. 15 min later, we asked again about it and the waitress tried to play it off like it was still coming out, but it was clear she had forgotten to put his in. A crown&sour can't take 20 more min to make than margaritas! Our food and later rounds of drinks also took a long time to come out. It got to the point where my friend ordered 2 drinks right after receiving one, knowing he wouldn't actually get them until he was way past done with the first. In the end, that didn't even work and we just hauled our asses to the bar to order them for ourselves. BUT I do have to give 1 star for $5 large margaritas, $4.50 spinach dip for which they'll gladly give you more chips, and green bean fries, buffalo wings, potato skins, etc. all for hella cheap!

I go here mostly for happy hour. I like it cuz they have afternoon happy hour and night happy hour so it's a chill place to go at nights. Half off appetizers, cheap margarita's/long islands.. They have that $4 blue moon special (not sure how long they'll have it for) but i LOVE blue moon now ever since i started getting it here. Service is not always consistent, they have their good days and their weak days. I also like the Jack daniels food.. especially the Jack Daniels Pasta.. it's not on the menu anymore, but sometimes they'll still make it if you ask. =)

I've only come to Friday's a few times, as a matter of fact I could probably count the times using one hand. I've heard they have a good Happy Hour(and I'm ALL about happy hours, lol) BUT I have yet to try it. Each time I've come in the food and service has been okay, but definitely not exceptional. The last time I came here our server, I forget her name(probably because I didnt HEAR her name), was suuper quiet. I could barely tell if she was mumbling to herself or if she was talking to us. Friday's should invest in getting that girl a microphone or something! We settled on eating the 2 for $20 which INCLUDES dessert and is a pretty great deal because some other restaurants 2 for $20 deal doesnt include dessert. The experience was just okay, and the service wasnt exceptional. Nothing spectacular of memorable about the evening.

It happens on occasion. I end up eating at a chain. I'm not a fan of chains, but sometimes you just don't have a lot of options and Friday's was by far the best choice. Me and two of my girlfriends (one VERY pregnant with twins) and I entered and waited for-ev-er to be seated. The place was not busy at all, in fact pretty empty and we stood there as employees passed us by. A good 5-6 people ignored us until finally we were seated. I was somewhat annoyed. Our server was sweet and took our order when we were ready. It took (again) for-ev-er for us to get our food. The place was pretty empty so I have no idea why it too so long. All of us ordered sandwiches as well, so I was slowly becoming annoyed again by having to wait so long. My club sandwich was good and I ordered for a few buck extra sweet potato fries (yum). Imagine my disappointment when I hardly got any. I mean the fries were so scarce you could see most of the plate. I really was (again) annoyed that I paid extra for this side only to hardly get any. So the theme of my visit is obviously "annoyed". My visit reminded me (once again) why I detest chains and the lack of decent food and portions. At least we had a very sweet waitress that gave us good customer service.

Before I say anything more, TGIFriday's in Cupertino has always been a pleasant experience for me, so this review is strictly for this location. I've had 3 experiences here, and only the first was passable (hence one star). The last two times I stopped in here I had to leave before even being seated and/or served. That's how ridiculous it was. They seem to have a sufficient number of staff on hand, but for whatever reason they like to flock around the servers station playing grab ass or whatever it is back there that makes customer service not a priority. My most recent visit was just last week. They had some construction work taking place in the doorway, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was just standing there. There was no host ready to seat us (even though it was obvious to them we were there), and nearly vacant but for a few people @ the bar. Once seated, we were completely ignored once again. Throw in the fact that it was freezing cold in there and I could take no more. I finally walked out and have NO plans of coming back here. If you're looking for good service, and a respectable meal within a reasonable amount of time, this isn't the place to go.

I love Fridays and was seriously depressed when they closed all 3 locations near me in the north bay. So we took a mini road trip to Union City just so we could get our Fridays fix. Drinks and food were delicious, as delicious as my past Fridays experiences in San Mateo and Cupertino. Unfortunately they took the tostada nachos off the appetizer menu. Very sad about that but everything else was yummy. Service was not bad either.

Usually have a pretty good experience whenever I come here. Prices are nice and the food is good too. The portions are nice for the price you pay too. I am usually here with a group of friends because the atmosphere caters to that. I don't drink so the noise from the bar can be irritable at times but not insufferable.

Devika A.

Been to TGIF several times for lunch and dinner with friends and families. This place use to be so much better in terms of customer service and food quality. Well overtime management changes, and so do the staff but that didn't stop me from coming back. It's close to home, and what more would I want than to have dinner and go watch a movie at the theater which is at a walking distance. The Jack Daniels chicken strips, french fries with cheese, sizzling chicken and shrimp are my favorite at this place. They do have meal coupons and happy hour so if you ever stop by you should check out the happy hour menu as well. They have a bar area on the right side as you enter. It has open seating with little outdoor patio. I hardly see people seated outside as the weather can be unpleasant. If you want a quiet and romantic dinner, you should find some place else, It can get a little noisy at this place. They have TV monitors and during the games people come to have drinks and watch TV at the bar. Note: They are open late on Friday's and Saturdays.

This is a shout out to the bar staff. They're friendly and they've made me tons of mixed drinks without messing anything up over the years. I've been here a billion times and I've never sat in the dining area (bar or patio only) but I'm sure it's fine. And this isn't to say that I've never eaten here. Anything with Jack Daniel's sauce works, even though they get fry happy sometimes and you can no longer tell what's under the batter. My current favorite is the Fiery Chicken Popper Sandwich-cream cheese, jalapeno habanero jelly, jalapenos, oh yeah, and chicken. Unfortunately, I can't forget I'm eating at Friday's, hence the 3 stars.

This place is only good for the happy hour. Came here to eat on sunday. Took 25 minutes to a table even though it wasn't even busy. Our waiter was nice he got all the orders correct but when all the food came out it was all cold even the appitizers. When we got our fries it was cold and soggy and the burger was over cooked and super oily. If it wasnt for the all day happy hour on sunday i would rate this place a 1 star.

Paige B.

Went to happy hour on a Friday in the bar and the server with the head wrap was our server. We ordered a margarita each. An hour later, she came by asking for more drinks. Are you kidding me? She came to our table 2 times within 2 hours. Terrible service, I'll stick to chilis from now on.

Elizabeth B.

I debated a two star vs a three star but settled with a three since my overall experiences coming here are A-Ok. I debated the two because they are never consistent with their food and service. My food was brought cold on one occasion (my "sizzling chicken and shrimp was def. not sizzlin'!) and on another, our waitress was clearly busting too many tables and couldn't focus on happy customers. However, sometimes we get great waiters and other times the food comes out amazing. This place is NEVER consistent and I'm always a little anxious walking through the door - how will tonight's experience go?? Overall though, I really love their food. I just wish they could bring it out fresh EVERY time.

The bar is always going crazy, as are the cops that are circling the block outside. Food is always subpar, but the drinks usually don't fail. We have held one-too-many birthday gatherings here, and plan to do so again in the future. Thanks for putting up with our BS Friday's :)

Came here with a group of 15 last weekend and it was my first time at this TGI Friday's. I have been to the one in San Mateo and remembered it being a decent place. I was a little surprised at how horrible the food is and how many people were still waiting to be seated at 10pm...but then again, most places at union landing is packing on a Friday night regardless of their food quality. I got the Korean tacos, the rice was burnt, the soft taco shell was hard from sitting under the heat lamp and the insides were also very dry. Was only able to get the opinion from a few other adults at our table since kids usually thinks everything is good when they are hungry. Another person ordered chicken and it was super dry and the third person got a burger and said it was the worst they had. I leave 2 stars because they got us seated within 20 min at 7pm and our server was very patient and sweet.

Ryan Y.

I normally don't curse but... F--k this TGIF location, F--k why did I even leave a tip after waiting 1 hour for my food? Why the F--k did I wait 30 minutes to get seated after they forgot to write my name down the first time, why the F--k would I buy Barefoot Chardonnay for $5.75 a glass when I can get a bottle for $3.00 at the Albertsons across the parking lot, selling Barefoot Chardonnay at a restaurant should be a f--kin' crime. why the F--k did everyone around us get served first even though we ordered first? why the F--k was my table sticky like peewee's seat at the peep show? ...and now I got the runs from eating at this f--ked up establishment. f--k f--k f--k this TGIF location and for shame on the corporation to allow this f--king place to keep running...

They have a fantastic array of drinks. Sundays are happy hour ALL DAY. What can get better than that? The food isn't the best but the drinks def make up for it. The service was also pretty decent. Our server was friendly and very attentive. She made sure to come by and check on us often but not so much that we were crowded. It isnt the place to go party but you cant go wrong if you want some decent drinks and a friendly atmosphere.

Okay. My grandpa and I came here only because we recieved a gift card from my friend. First problem# the parking. A Saturday night and the parking lot and parking all around it was full with cars crowding and surrounding the area. An empty parking space was un-imaginable. Second problem# Maybe I'm a bit pickey, but there was so much screaming and yelling with all the crazy drinking teenagers and adults. Thirs problem# the prices. Over 10$ for a cheeseburger and a tiny side of fries? Not worth it. I had the sirlion and shrimp which was over 20 bucks and the meat was really red even though I asked for well. I did have a blue raspberry slush which was actually pretty good though lol. Fourth problem# Okay please note that I came here with my grandpa and not my brother or sister. So my grandpa doesn't really know everything and can be a little you know...at times. SO: We used the gift card and had to pay an extra 15 bucks. Was that the problem? No it wasn't. My grandpa thought their would be a cashier at the front (which I think is not a crazy thing to do) and so here's what happens: Grandpa: I would like to pay for my order. Where's the cashier? Waitress: (not ours by the way) WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YOUR WAITER/WAITRESS IS THE CASHIER Grandpa: Fine! I was really dissapointed by how this lady treated us this evening. I wish she was fired, but this will hopefully be the last time I come here because hey, there are so many places that are so much better to eat at. For corn sake, In-N-Out is better haha!

Food: 8/10 - I'm a meat lover, so I always order something with steak! Music: 6/10 - I rated 6 because sometimes it's too loud and you can hardly hear your friends speak! But their selection is good. Service: 9/10, very friendly staff! Haven't been here for their Happy Hour, but I will soon! LOL I just have to try it, I really do! I'll keep you posted on that!

Christine S.

Okay, so all Friday's were created equally, right? WRONG! I don't know what it is about this particular location, but the bar is always CRACKING! You can come here on a random Tuesday night and guess what? It is ladies' night! Drink specials, prize wheel, and a DJ! I came here last night and there were jugglers at the bar, bartending and making drinks! Of course, they aren't there every Wednesday, but they were celebrating their [long, overdue] bar expansion! It's crazy how a franchised restaurant in good ol' Union City can bring in people from Oakland, San Francisco, and the South Bay. Yes, I have met people from all these areas here. P.S. I don't like to review chained places and I realize 4-stars is a lot for a chained restaurant, but it'd be wrong for me to rate it anything lower since I frequently come here. (Oh crap. Did I just put myself on blast for being a townie?!?)

Never was a huge fan of the place but went in there recently for the first time in ages and was pleasantly surprised. The TV's they had the last time I was in there were literally there when the place opened in 2000 and they were up above the bar yet behind all the glasses so you couldn't see the anyway. Now it is completely modernized. Looked to be 10-12 flat screens so you could see them from wherever you were sitting and they also got rid of the top part of the bar so it's completely wide open so you can see what's happening everywhere in the restaurant. Kinda like that. This place seems to attract many attractive woman for some reason so I like to be able to scope out the whole scene. As far as food/drink aspect the food used to be terrible but I had a couple different items and was pleasantly surprised. Grilled Chicken Nachos were tasty although a little cold in the middle. Bacon Cheeseburger with Sweet Potato Fries was much better than expected. And as with any Fridays there is a full bar but I tend to stick with beer so the fact that it was ice cold was a major plus. All in all nice upgrade and a much better experience than previous visits. Can already tell this is probably going to be my new fall back spot when I just wanna get out for a bite to eat and a drink or 2. Also they stay open til 1:30 AM Friday and Saturday nights so it gives me a local option other than some dive bar.

Trinity G.

I don't go here to eat, and I wouldn't recommend that you do. The food is just as you expect at many chains--unappealing and not worth the money! I don't know if every TGIF has a full bar, but this particular one does. I'll stop in whenever I want to grab a drink with friends and feel like mingling with Logan alumni. There is always at least one group of Logan alumni in the bar area! Which is cool. My older brother's friend bartends here and I'm grateful that he sometimes sends me drinks I've never even heard of. For example, a Shit on the Grass, which is Bailey's over green creme de menthe. Lol. Ask for Mike. He is a cool dude.

Service was really slow in the beginning but definitely picked up after a bit. Jesse 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.

Michael M.

I got here early before the lunch rush and parking was more than adequate. Seated off to the side and menu in hand, my server got my drink quickly and she NEVER let my drinks get low the entire time I was there (either my Coke or water). I ordered their babyback ribs and got two side-orders (fries and cole-slaw). Fries were not hot and the cole-slaw was neither cold nor crispy. Forget the side-orders for a moment since they were only a scoop of them. The Ribs were top notch and the meat easily came off the bones. It came with a small cup of extra BBQ sauce but I used it because I liked the sauce and not because it was dry. This is something I want to eat all the time. Ribs tasted like ribs covered in sauce, not like sauce with meat flavoring. For dessert, I had their red-velvet cake with ice cream (I can NOT believe it was that many calories!) I was disappointed since the cake tasted dry (ice cream made it better). But honestly, do yourself a favor and just order a dessert and ignore the calorie count printed on the menus! I think reading that might have made me give an excuse not to give their cake a higher score! I don't know how loud this place gets during major sporting events but I am told it does get loud at times. Service is prompt and friendly! Thanks for letting me enjoy my food!

I ate at this place one time, and it was enough for me to never go back. The wait time is insane. Once seated, it took forever just to get a waiter to take our drink orders. By the time he came around for the drink orders, we were ready to order our appetizers and dinner. The appetizer came out super late.. late enough that they brought it with dinner! No drink refills. Never came to check on us. The food wasnt that great. Seriously... come on. I am a huge believer in giving tips where tips are due. You sir, do not get a tip. And i will never again come to TGI's... and not just this particular part of the chain. TGI's is ruined for me. Sorry.

I love T.G.I. Friday's and that is only based on the fact that I can't really get their Jack Daniel's sauce any other place, plus I love their maison butter. I used to go all the time just to have the petite sirloin with loaded mashed potatoes and fries but their service has been lacking for let's say the past 2-3 years? Busy day or not you will spend quite a while waiting for your server to get to you. Once you get seated sometimes it takes a while for them to even ask you for what kind of drink you want, then they get you drinks and take even longer to come back and get your order. It would be great to have had a server who is always checking up on you and not you having to look around for your server just to get a refill, extra sauce or even just the check. My point is, they need better servers and I'm sure they actually have decent ones but this review is based on the not so great ones.

Christine Y.

Came here for happy hour, and got deceived. The bartender told us all drinks were 1/2 off, and with that decided to buy a couple drinks. When the bill came, each drink was around $9 each! Not happy hour price, it just so happened that only a "select" few drinks are considered happy hour, Long Islands being one of them. Another thing is, there are seating booths on the left side of the happy hour section when you enter. We sat there and ordered happy hour appetizers, and when the waiter came he said that if we sit in the booths we don't get happy hour deals. So basically if we moved 2 feet and sat at the bar area and ordered food, we can get the happy hour appetizers but not if we sit in the booths. Sort of uh ridiculous ? I don't know if I would ever come back here, but if I do I sure know where I'll sit and what to order next time.

TGI Friday!!! Thank God its Friday and Im not in there.. :) This place looks good from outside and pretty good from inside. Sat close to the bar so was close to the tv.. The service was very bad. I waited for like 10 mins for someone to get me the menu and me being a nice guy got up and went to the front desk and ask for the menu. I wasnt so hungry my other friend wanted to eat so we ordered the "Jack Championship Slider Sampler" and "Buffalo Wings", with Buffalo Wings asked for the wild kind (which is supposed to be spicy/hot). The Burger was ok, meaning lacked in flavor but had meat in it and was small and cute. But the wings was not at all spicy I asked for hot sauce, the waiter brought me a small Tabasco sauce with the bottle almost empty. I was disappointed with service, but would rate the food with little less average.

Hollywood. Promises you all the glitz and glam, then throws you out as a one hit wonder, not much richer than you were when you first got there. That's how I felt after I came here for their "happy hour." They're happy hour is, in essence, advertised as being 7 days a week, times just vary on the weekends (understandable). But when looking to see what items apply "ask your server" probably isn't the best idea when our server directs us to the menu, which keeps directing us to our server. It's a vicious cycle. I felt like I needed a college course in Fridays happy hour. Finally we were told it was beers, well drinks, and ultimates as well as a few appetizers. It also specifically said that sliders were 1.50 Anyways, the bill comes and two beers, two ultimates, sliders, a JD sampler, and nachos come to $52. Sliders were $4? FAIL. Our server took awhile to warm up to us, maybe he was upset because they changed the tv to the Laker/Cavs game.. but after awhile he was nice and deserved his tip :) Thanks for changing our small nachos to an actual nachos grande!

I typically don't prefer reviewing chain restaurants too much, but this place has become such a regular spot for me since my high school years, it's hard to ignore. Though it's not my favorite joint for a gourmet dinner, it's become a "default" restaurant when my friends and I don't want to go out of our way for a meal and just need a quick fix. Lately, it seems like their menu is constantly changing, but I like the new dishes and the "right portions, right price" section. I hate, and I mean absolutely HATE, wasting food or having leftovers to take home. It just doesn't taste the same after being nuked and half the time, I don't even bother eating my leftovers because I tend to forget about it. That leads to perfectly good food being tossed away, which makes my heart break a little every time.....ANYWHOO, smaller dishes for a cheaper price = thumbs up in my book! My favorite dishes are chicken tenders, sizzling chicken & shrimp (the cheese is delish!), and the stuffed potato skins. What really wins me over are the mashed potatoes. I don't know what they do, but I can never get enough of their mashed potatoes. Mango mojitos here are excellent as well as the AMFs - knocked me out during one of my birthday celebrations. The bartenders are well trained. Happy hour is cool: Mon-Fri 4-7pm, all day Sun. Plenty of booths by the bar and even an outdoor patio to enjoy cheap drinks and cheap appetizers. Half off appetizers (except for the sampler and Jack Daniel's tower), buck-fiddy sliders & fries, and $3 beers. My new discovery tonight: Ladies' Nights on Tuesdays...and there's usually a dress up theme. Too cute.

Happy hour - all day on Sundays! Drink specials - $5 margaritas (no salt on the rim even though we asked for it) $4 well drinks $3 - $4 beers In my opinion, their drinks were not strong enough. Too much of a heavy hand with the mixers. Appetizers - Green bean fries were fried nicely. Tasty! Buffalo wings were undercooked and pretty soggy because they doused it in sauce. Blah Service - Mediocre.

I will never go to the Friday's in Union City again! The service is consistently horrible. The waiters/waitresses are rude and so sloooowww. Tonight was the final straw: Waiting 15 minutes to just be greeted by the waiter/waitress - strike one. Waiting 30 minutes to get the food (we ordered 3 appetizers) when the restaurant is empty - strike two. Trying to get the waiter's attention after he walks by 4 times!?! - strike three. The last 4 times I have gone to the restaurant I left unhappy. I'm not wasting money here anymore!

I wish we had checked the yelp review first. We waited half a hour on a friday night to be seated... which is to be expected. Then we sit down and order our drinks and appetizer. Our appetizer comes before our drinks. We have no water no drinks. Then our drinks come. Mind you we waited for our appetizer for ten minutes. Then we order our food food and I order the half rack of ribs and two sides like maria said. Also I forgot I ordered coffee at the very beginning of this. No coffee yet. I get my food and I have one side. So I ask maria and she says oh there is only one side. I look at her like... wtf... so in a bit she brings me the other side of mine and says.. I shit you not she says "well next time know that this dish comes with one side".... really arent you supposed to know... not me... Then she comes and asks if we want any more to drink and i ask for my coffee again. Finally we ask for our bill. The bill comes and I steal it from my friend who thinks he is going to pay... I look at the bill and my coffee isn't there. Good one good thing out of the night she is going to give me free coffee for her crappy service. The bill is $57 and some change. I give her my card and away goes my bill. It comes back for me to sign and it say $60 and some change... HUH?? I look, there is my coffee on there. Well that's it, here's my tip $1 (which i have never ever done, i tip 15-20% because I know how hard servers work) and I write Thanks for the slow service. I walk out and my friend goes and talks to the manager. Well, the manager, Teressa was a really pleasant lady to speak to he said. She was really apologetic. If it wasn't for her I would have given it a one star. I will go to the Valco TGI Friday's and never to the Union City one again.

The food isnt bad at all. The service is horrible evrytime that I go there. It took forevr to come to our table aftr bein' seated, gettin' our drink orders, gettin' our drinks, takin' orders, then receivin' our meals. I tried comin' on differnt days, but no diffrnces. I personally havnt had the best experiences here as some. I dont recommend, but it is a decent place to eat.

Pretty bad here. Friday's is not first class, but the Friday's in vacaville is a lot better, cleaner and with better tasting food and drink. This place needs a bit of elbow grease and a new staff. Or at least a few more waitresses. And you really get the feeling here that all the food is bought at costco frozen section and quickly heated up. Even the jd chicken was not as good as v-town. I never eat dinner here, but go for a drink or two. but sheesh.

Went into celebrate my brothers birthday and we were disappointed in the food..all 4 of us all ordered the endless appetizers and were disappointed to find the food was (temperature) not hot enough potstickers...especially the spinach dip. It was warm and runny. Otherwise the service was great!

THE WORST SERVICE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! Don't go here if you actually want to eat a good meal and pay a good reasonable price for what you getting. If you like waiting then this is the restaurant for you!

The service is soooo bad. Their food is not all that good either but the dessert is good. The service really got to me, it seems like the employees don't want any customers to walk in and kill the "free time" they have. What I don't understand is who the hell is the manager here? I walked in Tuesday afternoon and there was no host to seat me. A few employees were just chatting up in the corner staring at me while I was tryna figure out if I should just seat myself, walk out??? Or just go to the bar area?, or are they even open for service???? The manager should put in some effort to fix this issue.

My last visit at fridays was awesome! My waitress was halarious and she made us feel important. She also had this other waitress working in the bar area with her ... They were so funny together. Great service they love their jobs and they know how to have fun with it! Thank u Jalaine and tammy for a wonderful evening... They made this restaurant feel like it was our own private party!!:-)

Came in here for brunch with 2 friends. I hdnt seen them in awhile and chose this place since I've never eaten at it. It was pretty empty but is was 11AM. We weren't expecting it to be busy. It was pretty clean. No messy tables. Our waitress was pleasant. It took us about an hour to order. We hadn''t spoken to each other for so long that we were catching up and had no time to look at the menu. Our waitress was kind enough to wait and she frequently checked on us to see if we were ready. I ordered the korean wraps, my friend got the salmon and my other friend got the fettuccine. We all had some mozzarella sticks for the appetizer. They were good but i wish they offered more sauce. korean wraps were BOMB!!! I'd order them again. It doesn't come with hot sauce and I had requested some. She said they only had tabasco and wing sauce. she said the wingsauce was pretty hot and I told her I don't mind as long as its okay for me to have some. she brought both of them and i ended up just using the wing sauce. it sure was hot and i only used it sparingly. but it didn't add that kick it needed. if you like spicy i recommend you requesting the sauce its so good!!! i was very happy that the accommodated to my needs. the beef was cooked well it wasn't tough. it came iwth a side of rice and had some cilantro in it. i was kinda confused about it since it was on the side. i guess you can add some in your wrap or eat it on the side. i did both. and it both worked. Its a pretty healthy meal. not friend or drenched in cheese. i was very content with the portion too. DEFINITELY WILL ORDER AGAIN. I had a bit of my friends salmon and shrimp. It was pretty watery. The fettuccine was alright. For the most part my friends didn't finish their food. They thought theirs was okay.

We were worried about service because of all the bad reviews. But our experience was great! We arrived at 6:45pm on a Friday and were seated within 10mins. Our server, Deseree (spelling?), promptly brought drinks, then hot appetizers. Our entrees were ready and waiting for us before we finished the apps. Deseree let us eat in peace and discretely placed new drinks on the table as needed. When done, she showed up with a to-go box and the bill. Very happy with service and food.

Can you give less than one star? I've been sitting at the bar for almost 20 minutes. There are three people tending it. They've walked past me literally over a dozen times and not once have either of them say "what can I get you. I'm going to sit here another 5 minutes and walk out... Do I look horrible? Maybe I smell... I can emphatically say no to either... This crew really sucks...I wish I could get their names but they don't wear name tags... It's now 6:42 and this kid just asked me "can I get you anything?" Hmmmm. I sat down at 6:15 Also WiFi sucks, the waitress I stopped to ask about it says so...

Came here for lunch about a week or so ago and this place has TERRIBLE customer service. We waited at least 5 minutes at the front door before anyone even came to seat us. I saw an employee and we even made eye contact, and she just walked away, which is sad in the restaurant business. The food was subpar. Burger was greasy, appetizers were greasy. Almost everything was greasy! And our server was hardly anywhere to be found. She'd come around every 30 minutes or whatever to go put in another order for our appetizer (which was unlimited by the way). This place is terrible with terrible customer service. Sorry T.G.I., don't expect me to come back. Don't send me free food coupons either. I've seen and tasted your food, and I do NOT want to have my stomach pumped after. Deuces.

I was so excited to go here, but was disappointed. Their online menu (which we checked out before going) does not match up with what they have at the restaurant, so we didn't get to order what we had our hearts set on ordering in the first place. I was still stoked to order my chicken burger, which ended up tasting like the inside of an overused BBQ. Nothing impressive about either of our meals. TGIFriday's is an overpriced Red Robin, except Red Robin is way better.

Coming here for the unlimited apps is a hit and miss. They are extremely skimpy on the ingredients and they are not how they advertise. Potato Wedges are wedges of deep fried slices of potatoes with little cheese and maybe a green onion or two. They also taste as if they where pulled out of the freezer and thrown in the fryer. Very unappetizing. Sitting at the bar, it seem like after the first beer and serving of our first and second serving of apps, we became invisible and literally had to wave dramatically to get out bar keeps attention. As for the reason why we came here, to watch the playoff game(WARRIORS), they were very accommodating in putting that on and tuning in with the sound so I give them one star for that. ;)

This place sucks ass!!! How is it even still open?? Waiters seem to be hiding from you whenever you need them. No one is walking around helping. Not sure if it's because we sat at the bar area, but the waiters don't come back to you until 50 minutes later. The people who bring out the items send the food to wrong tables... I put 1 star because I am being generous.

Met up with my friends after work today at TGIFridays. Best drinks in Union City, by far! They pour heavy, and the bartenders are super cool people. I always meet my friends here for after work drinks.

It's Monday night and it seems likes there's only one waiter working the floor. We waited awhile for anyone to come and offer us drinks. Once we got attened, the waiter was polite and refilled our drinks promptly. Now for the food... we ordered a rare burger with some fries. I've posted a picture of my WELL DONE burger with 20 fries..... Literally 20 fries....

Service sucks!!! I waited 45 minutes for my check! Our waitress didn't even check if we needed anything! Ridiculous! I called the manager who didn't even bothered to come to our table! I'm only giving this place 1 star cause it won't allow me to do ZERO

Had a blast at this location. All of the workers there were very inviting and full of enthusiasm. Great food and great service. Love the atmosphere of the newly remodeled interior. Great place to unwind and enjoy some great company and food. I'll defiantly be back for more Friday's!

I went here with a friend and I ordered a plate (I forgot the name) that had shrimp, chicken, and mashed potato. It was mediocre. The shrimp was a bit dry on the inside. This place is expensive in my opinion. Especially for the food you get, which I heard can sometimes be really good and sometimes not that great. Again, my experience was mediocre. It wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't worth the 18 dollars I paid for that one dish.

Came here for unlimited appetizers. Food was pretty good. We ordered the boneless wings, potato wedges, and mozzarella sticks. We ordered the $10 deal but didn't realize that you couldn't change your appetizers with the $10 deal and that there was a $12 deal on the back of that menu that allowed you to change your appetizers. (Our mistake). Our initial waiter just seemed extremely inpatient with us. He was the type of waiter that while you're ordering is kinda walking away and talking to you behind his back. Made us feel super rushed and angsty. it also always took us forever to flag him down. Which made us really annoyed. The last straw was when we asked him to change our $10 deal to the $12 deal. He was so apathetic to our mistake saying no no no, you cannot do that in an extremely condescending tone. So we'd had enough! We called the manager and luckily the manager was so kind and sympathetic to our mistake and changed our deal. He also frequently checked up on us. What a great guy :) made it worth coming here. Cheers to great management!

The food is usually pretty good but the service sometimes leaves something to be desired. I encountered a hostess and a waiter to determine which my friend had asked for a bag for our leftovers 5 minutes prior. Both acted irritated to answer my simple question. I wasn't really offended until they both proceeded with other duties, neither offering me a bag. After a minute I just left. That put a bad taste in my mouth about T.G.I.F. Never ignore a customer. Never.

My boyfriend and I usually come here because it's the closest location to us. Our first visits weren't short of what was expected. We came in, got seated, server took our order, we ate, and we left. Typical restaurant visit. On our last visit to TGIF, we had the most awful experience. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted. I didn't think anything of that. It took the host a while to seat us and I had no idea why. There were so many tables open. We didn't feel welcomed. It was BLAH to say the least. Our server, Ericka, paid absolutely no attention to us. She walked really fast past our table a few times. No smile. No greetings. Nothing. Just "what can I get for you?" I was thankful that the food came out fast, but after two bites of my food, she came by with our check. My boyfriend and I felt rushed. We wanted to enjoy our dinner. We never order dessert at restaurants and that night was one of the rare nights that we wanted dessert. After about five minutes, she came back and asked if we wanted anything else, as if she didn't just put the check on our table. We didn't feel like getting dessert anymore. My philosophy is, if you don't like your job, GET A NEW ONE!!

Last time I was here was in 2011, so I can say that I haven't been to a TGIF's in years...literally. My younger sister and I just finished having dinner at around 9:30 PM at Tadamasa so we decided to go walk at Wal-Mart and buy some thank you cards to send out for our mom's wedding from last week. We bought our cards and decided to stay at that McDonald's to write the cards so we can get them out of the way. While we were there, we had a few unwelcome visitors stop by so as soon as we were done with the last card, we hurried our little behinds out of there and started searching for a nearby spot to hang out and chat. When we found out that TGIF doesn't close until 1:30 AM, we made our way over. As soon as we both walked in, we were sweetly greeted by the hostess. She was about to show us to our table, but since we had just eaten, we just asked if it would be ok for us to just sit at the bar. She looked at us and smiled. She told us she'll check and brought back a guy to check our ID's. We were both surprised, and thought she was so cute that we'd need to be carded since my sister and I are both in our 30's. She already gets 5-stars right off the bat. Lol Once we made our way to the bar, we were sweetly greeted by our bartender, Rabi. He asked us what we wanted to drink and I asked for a virgin pina colada and my younger sister asked for a vanilla shake. He was probably thinking "what the heck are these women ordering?" Lol But he was so sweet and just smiled and told us he would have our drinks in a few minutes. I don't think they normally even make vanilla shakes, but he made it for us any way... We ordered two appetizers, even though we already had dinner not too long ago. The bacon mac n cheese bites was on the salty side, but the Tuscan spinach dip was actually good. Although the tostada strips smelled like it was deep fried in old cooking oil. I would normally rate the food at a 2, but the service definitely kicks it up to a 4-star. Being that we were seated at the bar and ordered non alcoholic beverages, the bartender was still sweet and friendly. He checked on us multiple times to make sure we were doing alright and according to my younger sister, she says "we'll definitely be back if Rabi is working." Lol

Normally the male Bartenders know what they're doing at this location and are tentative to the customers. For the rest, especially one Bartender named Summer, should keep in mind that the job you're in is a Customer Service based job. If you don't want to deal with the public and want to have a chip on your shoulder and have the demeanor that you're doing the PAYING customer a favor by assisting them, well then reality check Summer! Maybe you should just apply for food stamps and worry about your fake eye contact lenses, tacky acrylic nails, take a seat and stay home! Employees like this ruin businesses! Useless waste of space!

Food was bland and dry. Table was never cleared of appetizer plates or salad bowls. Soda was only refilled once. Had to ask. Over priced Denny's food. Our server was "Hector" P.S. Took over 15 minutes to pay for the meal. The card was in the check holder waiting to go for 15 minutes...

Manas G.

Can I put down no stars? This is incredible - the food is basically the half frozen/barely cooked stuff that is apparently marketed as being suitable for consumption. Even browned out drunk people would spit this stuff out. I was tolerant about the service for some off reason (although that should've been my first cue that what was to follow was not going to be any better) - took 10+ minutes to get a server to distribute menus and about a solid 35 minutes to get my appetizer sample. If that was a plan to somehow coax me into buying alcohol in the lull, it sure didn't work because all I wanted was to satisfy my hunger. Imagine my dismay and disgust when I received half cooked items that appeared to be edible but were repulsive upon biting and chewing. It's a mystery to me how they stay in business - hopefully something changes but I'm absolutely never going back.

Worst customer service ever. The host has the worst time of voice and attitude. A lot of tables were open and would not sit the 6 of us who all fit in one booth and we were ahead of everyone else. They would not sit us and made us wait while they sit everyone who came in 10 mins after us. And still did sit us down.

The reviews are horrible for service here which is kinda sad. I've been here many times over the years and I always have a good experience on my visits. Today was no different as we were greeted then shortly after seated by shareen. Shareen was our server and has amazing customer service skills. Once we were seated she asked if we already had an idea of what we wanted to drink. Shareen told us to take our time and let her know when we were ready to order...she walked by several times making sure she was visible. As soon as we were ready to order, shareen was available. She took our order and made sure it was manicured to our liking(no sesame seeds please). I ordered my usual sesame jack chicken strips with extra sauce and no sesame seeds, my friend got the Parmesan crusted chicken with mac n cheese, and the Parmesan crusted meat balls. The food came 15 minutes after we ordered. The food was fresh and tasty as always. We ordered another drink(non alcoholic) when we were finished eating with to go boxes...our waitress shareen asked if we wanted to go cups for our drinks and I thought that was pretty cool as I didn't know there were to go cups there. That was never offered before and we have left many barely touched drinks before :) Cheers to another good experience. The full 5 is for Shareen and her service.

We did it to ourselves, really. But who am I to argue when the phrases "unlimited appetizers" and "gift card" are combined? That's how Boyfriend, myself, and a mutual friend of ours ended up here on a Monday night for dinner. We ordered the baked potato skins unlimited appetizer and then, sadly, each of us also ordered an entree as well. The potato skins were over-fried to the point that they were beyond crispy -- they were essentially burnt. We only got 2 plates (though we could've had unlimited plates) of them because they were so hard to eat. Our friend's Jack Daniel's burger wasn't cooked enough to her taste (she asked for medium-well, I believe) so she only ate about half of it. My parmesan-crusted chicken was stiff and dry. The mac and cheese was okay, so I ate that, but I was pretty weirded out by the "fresh tomato and mozzarella salad." I didn't think it would literally be little cherry tomatos and globs of mozzarella cheese (looked like they had used the cold insides of their mozzarella sticks). I think Boyfriend ordered the Jack Daniel's chicken sandwich and he was disappointed by the lack of chicken in the sandwich (there was so much more bread than there was meat). I used to come here for late-night drinks and appetizers to share with groups when I was younger (see: freshly 21) and they seemed alright then. Maybe I've just grown up and my tastes have changed. We had the gift card, so we had to use it. But I don't think I'll be back unless it's on someone else's dime (and even then I'd probably think about it pretty hard first).

Stephani M.

My friends wanted to run in for a quick bite and beverage...so I am like, "ok." We get to Friday's and it is so crowded, like always, but we show ID and make our way through. Found a spot at the bar, ordered drinks, food and got ready to watch SNF. I do not really eat the food here, but I do like the people who work here. The atmosphere is friendly, busy, loud and welcoming. I have played dominoes here with my friends Tony and Juan many nights at the bar, and the people who work here have always treated us well. Stephani Smiles for TGIF ;)

Brynda D.

I don't normally give 1 star but in this case I was being generous. Worst server ever. 20 minutes just to get drinks and then he breaks the drinks as he is bringing them. 30 minutes to get kids drinks. Asked for a manager and one never came. The order was completely wrong, had to ask for it to be corrected and it was still wrong. Cucumbers when we asked for none, no cheese on salad when we asked for goat cheese, sides missing, salads came after the meal. While I was looking for a unique dining experience, this level of unique should best be avoided. Food was great, service, however, left a lot to be desired.

This review is only for their endless appetizers deal. It's the only reason to visit TGI Friday's other than for their booze because otherwise you'd spend too much for mediocre food that you can just get in the frozen food section of any grocery store. Endless choice apps for 12 bucks a person. They really are endless, and the servers don't judge you, and they make sure to keep the apps coming quickly. It's very nice for a fattie like me. I mean, foodie. Yeah, foodie. The downside is that not all of their appetizers are available on the endless apps menu, it seems like the best appetizers are left out (pretzel sticks, sliders, bone-in wings). Good apps: Any of the boneless wings, mozzarella sticks, potato skins. Bad apps: Chicken tostada (really terrible) and potstickers (overly salted mystery meat).

Charmaine D.

Came here recently just to try their Unlimited Appetizers promo going on, and was like "I got my group of friends, why not?" Strike 1: Each person could only order 1 unlimited appetizer, and it was $10 each, for only unlimited refills of that one appetizer. What's with the fine print, Felicia? Dang.. Strike 2: The appetizers took very long to come out. It didn't help that there was a birthday party RIGHT next to our table, so we couldn't hear each other talk or flag down someone easily to ask about the wait. Strike 3: They weren't even good! We got the bruschetta, potato skins, cheese sticks, and wings. Of all those, I only liked the wings, so I guess that's safe.. As for the others, the bruschetta was nasty, the potato skins were hella skimpy (don't recall potato skins being potato wedge with a tiny bit of cheese and 1 tiny piece of bacon). The cheese skins were only okay. Not coming back if I were the hungriest person alive. Because I would die before getting my food!

Ordered steak with spare ribs. Ordered medium on the steak. I was given a steak which was 1/3 rare, 1/3 medium rare, and 1/3 medium. I wish I just went to Black Amgus. Just wasted my $30. The meat tasted old.

I came here for the endless appetizer deal, but they discontinued it! So sad. I was just here a month ago when they had it. I sat at the bar area yesterday and the waitress was super nice and attentive. I wish I remembered her name!! But I definitely come here for their happy hour. Half off appetizers. Woot woot! Anything else on their food menu is pretty pricy for the quality.

Okay soooo my experience was great. Perfect server he was on top of everything! He was refilling our drinks, constantly asking us how The food was... It was great. Half off appetizers, come on people don't expect this place to be super fancy it's TGIF, expect what you know to expect then rate from that... The appetizers were cooked amazingly surprisingly!!! It was a great night to go. Happy hour of course. I wouldn't come another time. For 6 drinks (non happy hour) and 6 apps happy hour it came out to 100$ for 3 people. Not bad.

Franzin C.

Sigh I understand it's late, but there shouldn't be a reason we should have to 1) wait 20 minutes for water 2) practically be unassisted the whole time we were here 3) have to wait days for a refill on apps especially when it's not busy. I'm only upset cause I work in a restaurant that's much more understaffed and hectic. I'd get my ass CHEWED for not dropping off water within 2 minutes. I'd be in even more shit if I didn't pay attention to my guests and didn't give them refills especially when they're hella obviously looking at everyone for refills. Wow soooo originally I was going for 2 stars but now I'm gonna go with NO STARS. Sorry Edgar. It's not cool to be rude to guests and not listen to what we have to say. I understand it's late but dude. Trust me. It's still not acceptable. I never really make these typa posts but hey. Upset guests gotta say something for the world to know. Also Edgar. Please tell us that the sliders aren't unlimited. I mean cmon we did walk in and asked the first time around. So please TGIF. Listen to us. Lol NO STARS.

Ordered Jack Daniels ribeye medium rare. No jack sauce on it AT ALL and it was raw in parts. Gristle and marbling are not the same thing and this was gristly and chewy piece of meat with huge chunks of chewy fat. Part of dinner was baked potato where I asked for all toppings on the side. No sour cream??! That's weird. Also ordered hot wings as an appetizer and it all came out together. Seriously? Tough tough tough to get good service in Newark, Fremont, Union City, Milpitas, Hayward. I'm so disappointed because, done right, the Jack Daniels dishes are great. I'd pass

TGI Friday's is on of the better chain restaurants out of Applebee's, Chili's, etc. Their food is decent and I love their happy hour. I usually get their wings and some beers. Service is a hit or miss. I've had excellent service even when it was super busy and I've had shitty service when it was slow and vice versa. It seems to always be busy and packed here.

Today was one of the worst experiences that I have had a TGI Fridays in Union City. My server's name was Tatiana she got both orders wrong and we has to wait 15 minutes for silverware and condiments. Then it didn't get any better because the food was gross.

Horrible service in the bar area especially the Latina bar tender with the 1990's hair style. Her attitude and hair style had be taken back. The manager is extremely nice, but has no control of his staff. I probably wouldn't come back.

My husband stopped here for dinner after an A's game on a Saturday. We arrived about 6:15pm. When we walked in the resturant was appropriately busy for a Saturday evening at that time, about a 30 min wait. We proceeded to seat ourselves on the bar area which had 2-3 open tables that were dirty, but available. Within moments of sitting a busser came over to our table. Apologized for the dirty table and promptly wiped it down and got us silverware. Unfortunately it took another 15 mins to get acknowledged by a server. Another few more mins for OUR server to come to our table (no apology for the wait) to give us menus and take a drink order. The food seemed to take a long time coming out. Our server was very slow to round back around for refills. The food was good, one of the very few highlights of our visit. Lastly, the music was very, almost ridiculously loud for a resturant!

Saachi G.

Happy Hour wasn't correctly advertised so getting there and finding that out was not the greatest surprise. The Jack Daniel's chicken was very good it was the first item on the top left corner of the Jack Daniel's items page. Garlic fries were sitting in a base of oil which made all of the fries on the bottom very oily and inedible. Not worth it for the regular prices but for happy hour I would come back.

Rich C.

So I have been coming here for 10 years now! The staff has changed over the years but has stayed pretty consistent. The food has been up and down over the years. There happy hours are OK. The entertainment (TVs) are better than most. I think this place can use a little better management skills. The costumer service department needs season vets to teach these young workers how to serve a little better. This place is roomy and has an outdoor patio. I will continue to come here on principle and the fact that I live right by the place. Ha

I used to frequent this Friday's A LOT as a high schooler. Coming back, the memories of looking forward to those sweet sweet margaritas are long gone. I used to eat some of their items with pleasure as at that time maybe Friday's paid their workers better. After my experience today, it's safe to assume their quality has plummeted. Came in here right after a movie for lunch, and boy, I thought working fast food was crap but to express it on your face is worse. Walked in to two workers, maybe hosts (?) and I felt bad for how empty her face was. It was a Sunday morning, so I guess the church rush ended but to have no life in your eyes when you greet customers? Damn. Must really hate working here. Anyway, me and the boyfriend were seated promptly and greeted enthusiastically by Tatiana. She was sweet. Placed our drink orders and waited no more than 10 mins. Mind you, it was dead. We got the drinks and I ordered a frozen strawberry margarita. I tasted ice slush and strawberry flavorings. Yeesh. I'm not one to complain; I grin and bear it. But either way, wow. That's bad. Boyfriend got a beer, can't review because, come on, how do you ruin what's on tap? I had the 6 oz. Sirloin, medium, cut it open and grimaced. It was like I cooked it. Clearly the chef didn't watch enough Food Network or even read his menu because medium has a pink center. I saw none of the sort. I thought it was the lighting so I took a bite. Nope, tasted well done. So much for flavor. I had the side of cheddar mac and cheese with mashed potatoes. How could you ruin either? Taters were fine, but the mac and cheese was dry. I felt like I was eating a lunchables equivalent. Blegh. Tatiana was attentive and with her customer service she deserves better than to represent a failing franchise. Don't go here.

The food was cold and took about 20 minutes to get my beer. Waiting area very small inside and outside uncovered so don't go when its cold or raining on a weekend.

The servers seem to dislike their jobs ( in my opinion). It was lunchtime and not very crowded and the food still took forever to come out. Forget about someone checking up on you, I had to hunt down an employee so I could pay my bill and leave.

For once, my server wasn't slow. However, she brought me the wrong drink then took forever to bring the correct one. It came after my food was brought out. Also, order just ice cream for my niece and that also came after our food. When we sat, table was dirty with crumbs and under the table was hella smooshed food. The music was so dang loud...it's a family restaurant not a night club!!! And the bathroom...stall had no toilet paper and the garbage was over flowing with paper towels. This location is always busy so going out of business is probably not a concern but come on, get some better service and keep ur restaurant clean.

Went out for dessert at almost 21:00... A ten-minute wait regardless. Out of Oreo Madness. The Ultimate Strawberry Shortcake had the flavored sauce but no strawberries; the pound cake was refrigerated and hard. Vanilla Bean Cheesecake was not too sweet. Service was friendly.

50% appetizer happy hour lured me in.... what was I thinking? The food was disgusting and I felt sick the next day. The service was crap. It took forever to order food, drinks, and get the bill. The waiter we had never once checked on us and we had to grab him and ask for more drinks on two occasions. Never again. TGIY - Thanks God I Yelp!

Swung by before heading to the movies on 9/9/14 - we had the options to sit either at the bar or the high tables. We chose the bar because I wanted to watch the game and get my drinks faster. We ordered some buffalo wings and a couple budweisers from the HH menu. Thinking we'd make the movies on time .. For a first time EVER at a TGIF's .. this place proved EVERYTHING anybody has ever said in regards to the chain to be true. Food is bland and overpriced .. that's about it. It has a bar and the ambiance looks a little higher quality than applebee's but .. that's about it. Buffalo Wings - I looked at it a good minute before eating it .. and that's a good minute on top of already being late for the movies. So it's from some scrawny chicken - that's fine. I think they oven roast it then twirl it around in some buffalo sauce .. because the drumsticks and wings weren't just small, they were pretty much dehydrated and on their way to being burnt, too. Service - The girls were nice. They didn't seem to care for being at work, though. Smiled and everything but it was late and they were working - it just makes sense. Left the place leaving a 20something % tip because our bartender/server was really nice and did her best to smile every time she asked us if we were okay. I wouldn't come back for the food though .. ever. I made the choice of ordering buffalo wings saying " you can't go wrong with buffalo wings. no matter where you go. " - I now stand corrected.

Horrible, I originally ordered to eat at the bar, but had to leave early and asked for it to go. What i got when i got to the house and looked at it , was a freaking joke. Two thin chicken dry chicken breasts, 5 freakin shrimp covered in mediocre marinara sauce and a slice of semi melted american cheese. $16 for less food that I could have from a hungry man dinner?

I remember coming to Union Landing a lot during high school, and even now, it's the to-go place for my friends back home in Hayward. It was close enough to my high school and now it's where all the food is. There's not really places to hang out in Hayward, and here, we get a movie theatre and several food options. Choosing TGIF was kind of a spontaneous decision amongst my group of 10 and we came in at around 4. The wait was around 5 mins even though there was literally no one there... we were seated and served pretty well, until we ordered. Food took forever to arrive, around 30 minutes despite not being rush hour. I was a bit disappointed honestly. I expected food to be of somewhat decent quality, but their brocolli on my dragonfire shrimp wasn't fresh. Rice was of questionable quality too. My friend ordered the firecracker shrimp and her cole slaw just looked like someone pulled it from the bottom of the fridge. Needless to say, I probably won't be coming back due to severe quality issues. The food was a bit pricy for the poor quality as well.

Ridiculous service!!! Within the last year, we've probably came to here a handful of 15 times and each time, we've become even more disappointed, therefore this place is not on our go-to list anymore. It's happened a couple times where we walk in, I go up to put my name on the list and the hosts are either chit-chatting with each other or they just aren't paying attention and I literally have to stand there until I'm noticed. I've also been seated toward the back of the restaurant where there's a cash register and I've heard some of the waiters/waitresses gossiping in the back. I've also experienced where we've ordered, our waiter drops off our food and leaves and comes back just to give us the bill, like come on. I shouldn't have to get up and chase down someone to find my waiter for a refill. I have no idea what the mangers are thinking hiring such unprofessional staff. I'm extremely disappointed and won't be spending my money on bad service.

Free wifi in Union Landing! I sometimes need to get work done around here and I don't like the vibe at that little coffee shop downtown, so I was really pleased to find out that this place has wifi. Super nice service. How's the food? Sysco processed junk, but you know that already.

Mr-Big B.

I was there tonight 2-27-15...I sat in the entrance for 20 minutes, waiting for service...during that time, I watched the 'host', talk bad about the customers, give away shots to employees, and be a complete juvenile punk bitch...when I asked for management, she was quick to defend him, without even hearing my side...the red tie dude was a prick...I offer a zero star rating...especially against the dope fiend manager who obviously didn't care.

I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE NO STARS!! Hostess was no where in site when we arrived. My daughter had to ask a waiter if we should seat ourselves. Finally a girl came and never apologized. The waiter was worse, he didn't care how long we waited. Oh and we were the only guests at the door. So it's not like we went during a busy time. This staff is awful. We will never spend money at TGIF.

Both of the time that I was here, I've always left satisfied. The food itself is great, first time i got the afredo, forgot what its called but it was the one with "fav" next to it. It was okay, nothing really special about it. Second time I got the rib eye with a side of sautÃ©ed shrimp with fries and mash potato. It was great but mainly because of the fries. I don't know why but I'm just in love with their fries. It's so tasty and different. My boyfriend thought it was okay but i'm fuckin in love with it. Service was alright, could be better. Barely check up on us and it was quite slow. The Long Island tasted different, don't really like it but every bartender has a different way of making it so I'm sure someone else will probably like it. Other than that this place is not bad and I'm sure i will come back, mainly for the fries.

This place was pretty bad. When we first got here the hostess was sitting outside on the phone. So we stood inside for a few minutes before she came to ask us where we wanted to sit. We sat at a booth and ordered some appetizers before our friends arrived. When they arrived we realized that the booth wasn't big enough for all of us so we told our waitress we were going to switch tables. She said it was fine but we were going to have a new server. So we moved tables and no one let anyone know that we had moved so we sat around waiting for about half an hour before asking the hostess if she could find out waitress. Another 15 minutes and we asked one of the other waitresses if we could order who also told us just to wait a minute to find her. Once we found her she promptly apologized for not coming since she saw our appetizers and thought we had been served already. She was great and nice. But after already waiting almost an hour just to be served the food took way too long. Then for some reason they decided to turn up the volume on the music so loud that we had to yell at each other. None of the other waitresses seemed to be doing anything that didn't involved their own tables. When we left they were all standing in a circle by the front door just chit chatting and no one greeted or said bye to anyone in our group.

Food is pretty good. My bf loves string beans and the string beans fries (appetizer) were good, his fav! He also got a bacon burger. It was delicious he said. I didn't get anything because I wasn't hungry. Our waitress was nice. She made our visit enjoyable. Bf made me tip her $6 for his $18 lunch! I guess she deserves it :)

Came here at 945 and they close at 11pm. They told us the kitchen was already closed last call was at 930pm. That's still an hour and a half before they close. Are you kidding me? We ended up going across the street where the restaurants kitchen closes the same time the entire restaurant does. Horrible!

We were on our way to City Bistro and drove by TGIF and saw the BIG $10.99 Wednesday Full Rack of Ribs special so we decide to pull in. It's been years possibly even a decade had passed since I stepped inside a Fridays. When I was still in school, I used to think the food here was bomb (most likely influenced by alcohol). The absence of alcohol, my family in front of me and years of developing a more sophisticated palette has led me to the conclusion that this place is no Bueno. (at least when it comes to the entrees). I hope this Friday's nothing but the best. Every time I check the news you hear about a Friday's closing down. With very limited choices of places to enjoy a cocktail or some brews and take in a game in Union City, this place is sure to stay open for a while.

Poor service, poor food quality and quantity. Ordered a pasta meal and was shocked at the amount I got for the price I paid. Server never came around to refill glasses or check on our party. I had to finally waive her over. Also took a very long time for our food to come out and it was not busy. Won't be coming back here ever.

I've never had a server roller eyes at me after they forgot my order. My table of 9 waited 40 minutes for their food and my order was forgotten as well as the birthday girls. There was no apology and no further service from this waitress after asking why my steak was overlooked. Terrible service. A lot of the servers sat a few tables down from us texting on their phones the entire time.

Mr. P.

The bartenders are so nice, but when I order a sizzling platter and it is borderline warm, no pop no steamy smell.. Cmon guys. That's why you order that entree, for the sizzle. I took it home and threw it in the microwave. Total buzz kill.

I went here recently with a couple friends to grab some all-you-can-eat appetizers. We went in pretty late, proabably between 10pm and 11pm. Almost no wait to get seated, which was cool - and not always the case at this location. Everyone in the restaurant was just hanging out it seemed. Not much energy in the air, though. The hostess was nice enough to let us wait for a booth seat, and then take it once her busser was done cleaning it up. That got some brownie points, for sure :). However, we already knew what we wanted and we had no clue who our server was. We inquired with the hostess, who wasn't much help, then I asked another server to help us out and he said he'd let our server know. After a bit of waiting, I finally saw our server approach the booth next to ours, so we finally flagged her down...but then we had to wait while she prepped for a birthday at the table across from us. It took a really long time for her to get things ready and finally come out for the really short birthday song - quite unenethusiastic as those go by the way. Then she FINALLY come and took our order. At this point, we had been waiting about 20 minutes already... The fried mozzarella sticks were very good in my opinion, the buffalo wings were slightly above average. Better with the scorching hot sauce plus the buffalo sauce! The potato skins, however, were terrible. The three of us all started reminiscing about Elephant Bar's potato skins ON THE SPOT! Pass on the potato skins - they're HUGE let-down! After the huge disappointment, our server was nice enough to let us get the Bruschetta, which was SURPRISINGLY GOOD!!! I usually hate bruschetta, especially from places like this. It's usually too stale with not enough good toppings. The bread was just right, and the toppings were very good, especially the tomatoes. The server stepped it up for sure after the long wait, and a couple of the items were quite good, so this balanced out to 3 stars for me.

This experience was awful. The waitress ignored us on many occasions while the guests beside us got all the attention. It took 20 mins between unlimited appetizers and then the waitress didn't want to put in the next series of appetizers. We asked for more napkins but never got them. We ordered kids pasta but got pizza instead. It took 30 mins to get a kids meal. Maybe short staffed. But clearly not a place i would come back to. Finally we got our paper towels out of the bathroom. Would love to hear from the owner regarding this place.

Evelynn C.

I'm still quite baffled by how much quality has gone down over the years at this particular Friday's restaurant. I used to be such a big fan of T.G.I. Friday's, I might even have called it my favorite restaurant. Unfortunately from my past visits, I have slowly watched the quality slowly die. Last night (Sunday), Friday's was crowded, but it wasn't exceptionally crowded. We were able to be seated within 10-15 minutes vs. the 30-40 min wait we were used to. Which is good. Except -- after we were seated, we had to wait another 15 minute before a waiter came by and introduced himself and asked us if we wanted anything to drink, by then all four of us had already decided what we wanted to eat for dinner. Meanwhile, we watched 4-5 different waiters/waitresses walk past our table serving everyone else food. - 1 5 min later, he brought us our drinks, there was something in my drink. But he noticed it as soon as he put it down on the table, which is good. Except after he brought me a new drink, there was still something inside... -1 Another 10-15 min went by and we all got our orders. Reasonable amount of wait time at a Friday's restaurant, so I figured what the heck, no complaints here. Except my sirloin that I ordered medium well was super well done, dry, and difficult to chew/swallow. My mom's, on the other hand, was ordered well done but her's was juicy and semi-bloody. Either the chef/waiter got it mixed up, or they have consistency issues. Either way, -1. Also my GRILLED shrimp was cold and flavorless, and my sweet potato fries amounted to barely a small handful. Waiter overall polite enough, not especially friendly or memorable. It really used to be whenever my parents asked where I wanted to go for dinner, I would by default answer "Fridays!" But now, I have several choices, and it's usually not Friday's anymore. Verdict: Would go, but only rarely.

I enjoy coming here most of all we makes friends with the employees we always come back cuz of Lala she's nice sweet and friendly she's always quick multi tasking she was was not in a good mood cuz her manager kept poking her buttons but she kept her cool and kept us costumers happy not rude or mean but her manager... Someone should talk to that manager she was rude mean and if she had a problem she could've taken her to the office and talked to her about it cuz everyone heard how rude she was to lala and that wasn't professional I love Fridays but the manager was wrong for what she did... Plus food and prices are awesome

Tumay A.

Wow! The teenagers that run this joint really don't give a rats ass!! Our server looked like she hated her job. We were in a great mood when we sat down. Ready to spend some money and drink some silly drinks. Sadly we didn't get to order any because she never came by to get our drink order. When we went to the bar instead, we got told that they don't like to serve people who have tables. Really? You just lost $35 bucks +tips. Look, I am not the one to leave bad reviews but COME ON! People come here to spend money, eat food and drink silly cocktails so treat them with some respect. Don't ruin people's experience. I am sorry I came here tonight. Do yourself a favor: if you hate your job so much then Quit or try harder to be better at it. I wish I can give no starts.

Greg L.

Went to this location for lunch and the hostess was visibly yawning and looked like she didn't want to be there. Was with my wife and 2 kids, so a booth is pretty much mandatory for us whenever possible. She brought us to a table with chairs, so we asked if we could get a booth. She quickly responded that she has no booths and walked away. That's it. No "sorry, we don't but if you don't mind waiting we can get one for you" or something along those lines. We looked at each other and decided to go eat at Chili's instead. The one star was for the hostess, not the food. Not sure if we'll be back anytime soon since that left a bad taste in our mouths...

My husband and I went to Friday's in spite of the fact that their appetizers have gone totally down hill. We decided to forgo the 1/2 price appetizers and just have cocktails. We ordered margaritas regular flavored. When they arrived, there was a random piece of an orange and a dried up slice of lime thrown on top. Who puts old limes and oranges on a lime flavored margarita? When I took a sip, it tasted like the bartender put water and a slice of lime in the blender, poured it into a glass and put crappy fruit on top. We decided that this was the last straw. We politely called over one of the waiters and advised him that the margaritas tasted like ice water slushes. We also advised him that there was no way that the bartender could fix these drinks, and that we were leaving. He didn't seem very surprised and just as politely said okay. Mind you, these margaritas were going to be $6:00 each at the happy hour price. For a good margarita this would have been a bargain, for the crap that Friday's served, it would have been highway robbery, had we paid. We left and went to Chaplains, and had $4:00 house margaritas (3:30 - 6:30 happy hour), that were a 1000% better than the mess that Friday's served us. I don't like to leave negative reviews, but this establishment should be ashamed. The bartender should have been too embarrassed to serve a drink of this caliber. Hopefully enough people refuse to tolerate this type of service and they either close or improve.

I don't know what else to say but absolutely slow service on a very busy Sunday noon. They need more servers period and it didn't help that our server had no sense of urgency (I think he's new). I also had the pleasure of seeing a couple walk in and walk out within 10 min cause no one greeted them. There were 3 servers in the bar and each had about 6 tables (poor servers). How would they make good tips when their service sucked (unless they're playing the numbers game lol). Even saw buss boys serve drinks lol. Where is the manager? Shouldn't he be walking around greeting tables? We did see him on our way out running food, how convenient. This lunch experience just was unacceptable probably won't come back here for lunch.

Honest D.

horrible. We went there for late happy hour and arrived to an empty restaurant...awesome! We were greeted by an extremely unenthusiastic hostess who told us we couldnt sit at any of the empty booths in the bar, only the high top tables that hurt your back or the bar......okay... we chose to just skip happy hour and sit in the main dining area and that's where our problems began... We were given another server, who seemed to be in a bad mood....but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and was very polite when I placed my order....I ordered the stacked philly burger which features roast beef, peppers, and pickled vegetables on top of the burger.... we then went on about our business for the next 15 minutes waiting for our food to arrive....... My girlfriend's food was fine, everything was cooked perfectly....but when i got my burger, I noticed it had bleu cheese, mushrooms, and onions and none of the toppings from the stacked philly...... they had given me the bleu cheese burger instead.... I was totally cool about it and just politely sent it back, when the manager came out to make sure everything was okay with me... I explained the situation, and she offered me a salad while my new burger came out....i took the salad since my girlfriend's food was ready, so she wouldnt have to eat alone.... When they brought my burger back......to my shock....IT WAS THE SAME EXACT BURGER! Bleu cheese, mushrooms and all!! I immediately got the manager again, and she bends down next to me like I'm some kind of child, and explains that this was the burger I ordered, and often times customers wrongly send it back, but she was positive that this was how it came on the menu..... I had to have this manager bring me the menu, Break it down for her ingredient by ingredient including having to explain to her what giardiniera was (essentially explaining the ingredients to her own menu to her) I had to point out that there were green peppers on the philly, and mushrooms and bleu cheese in the other, and waste my breath arguing with the manager that I must have been wrong!! The manager then flipped her switch and started profusely apologizing and offered to remake my food herself (I'm sure so she could spit in it). I politely chose to leave without eating. Thanks, friday's!

Food was great! My daughter & I ordered the steak & lobster. Steak was perfectly cooked. Lobster was steamed just right. I'm not sure why this restaurant received such bad reviews. It was my first time eating at this restaurant but my daughter has eaten there before and has not had a bad experience. We had absolutely no wait when we arrived. The waiter was a little slow bringing my son his milkshake after asking him for it a few times but other than that, we had a great overall experience.

Best happy hour food! Even better with the selection of hh drinks. Seriously, we always go overboard ordering food straight from memory here. Happy hour apps that's half off, regular (big!) portions and extremely tasty? I'm so there. My regular menu: -chicken wings, sauce on the side. Always crispy and juicy! -beer cheese pretzels. Always comes out with crispy edges and piping hot. A fave. -$1.50 cheeseburger sliders. Love the char grilled taste, with cartelized onions. Makes it seem gourmet. -fries basket- simple, extremely cheap and good. - chicken quesadilla - large portion, pretty good. Can get a variety of good drinks for $3-5. Tip: try their Wednesday special. Rack of jack Daniels ribs for only $10.99 I think. Plus, add on a gigantic beer for $3. Love their fall off the bone ribs! Service isn't always prompt, but food and drinks never disappoint.

I came here last night with a group of 8 people and it was a horrible decision on our end. THE WORST SERVICE. We sat outside since the bar area was packed. Our server literally came out to check up on us within every 45 mins for the first two hours. Ordered drinks, waited 40 mins to get it. Fries came out another 20 mins after that. Another 10 for my ranch. Another round of drinks 30 mins after that. And wings 30 mins afterwards. No napkins, plates, utensils, etc. We were all irritated how our server never came out at all after her first two appearances. At one point, one of us decided to go find her. No luck. It was random people dropping off our orders. Finally we made a complaint to the manager. Another server came out and said, "Hey guys! Sorry for everything, I don't want to go into much detail but your server is really upset over something and crying over the phone in the back..." Are you serious? Coz she sure looked fine when she FINALLY came out minutes after that staring at us blankly, waiting for us to say something to her. DON'T YOU OWE US AN APOLOGY?! Overall. Slow service. Applebee's happy hour is way better anyways.

This should have been 1 star.. But I gave them 2 stars because they are generally good.. Defiantly better than the kind of service I got.. I like tgif.. And I love the location of this place.. I generally come here on sat/Friday nights For food and drinks..Robbie always serve me... He is a nice guy and always does a good job.. But this time he wasn't there. I couldn't catch the names of the bartenders..one of them was a very attractive girl and the other was a guy with a ghotti..But they were busy having their own conversation.. With a bunch of other employees.. The side that I sat by.. Was still dirty from the previous customers.. The lady eventually got to me after awhile.. Then she was gone.. After awhile she came back..I wasn't the only one in need of service... the people next to me were looking for someone to serve them too.. But the bartenders and the employees continued their conversation.. At the end they actually costed themselves the tip..I realized that I shouldn't be there on nights when Robbie is not there..

This was my first time at TGIF and the food was decent... Appetizers were MUCH better than the burgers but decent nonetheless. (MAKE SURE YOU TRY THE TUSCAN SPINACH DIP!) Our waiter was very friendly and food came out fairly quickly considering it being dinner time and such. Thanks Devin for being awesome! Took off a star because of the table next to me.. Ugh! Super annoying!! Came in towards the end of our meal but that didn't matter - they were drunk in minutes and hitting on the other waitresses. Glad I didn't have her because she probably wouldn't have visited our table since all her time was with them!

This place has gone way downhill. I used to really like it. I got the chicken fingers and they were extremely dry. Even my side salad wasn't that great. It was probably one of the worst restaurants meals I've had in awhile. The prices have gone up but the quality has gone down. Overall disappointment.

We had a server named Veronica. Worst server ever. We asked for JD sauce and she never brought it. I had to go to the kitchen and ask someone there.. we asked for refills, we waited 15 minutes... got fed up and I asked another server to get our drinks, and he said, let be get your server... instead of helping us get drinks. Then we asked for our bill and it took another 10+ minutes for veronica to close out our bill. Glad to have left, and am never coming back! #worstcustomerservice

I forgot the last time I came here for dinner but just recently I came here for their Happy Hour which was at 10pm til closing for my friend's 21st Birthday. At first it was really packed even on a Tuesday night and we thought we weren't going to get seats but luckily we found two tables that we could put together with a party of about 9 people. Their Happy Hour selection is pretty good. Drinks are good and fairly priced and food is delicious and pretty cheap. Depending on the time you get there and what day you go on, it is usually packed near the area near the bar because of Happy Hour. I would say my two favorite drinks on the Happy Hour menu is the Strawberry Margarita and the Mango Margarita. Both are fruity drinks and don't have much alcohol in them. They usually serve them with fruits as well. The food that I always get during Happy Hour because it is worth it because it is only $1.50 is the basket of fries. Had their loaded potato skins too and I have to say it wasn't that bad either for the amount they give you and the price of $4.50 because it was half off. I also have to say that the Jack Daniels sauce is the bomb! I will come back to this place for Happy Hour again and try more of their drinks and food! Cheap and good! NOTE: Happy Hour is 3-7pm and 10-close :)

Came on a Friday to meet up with friends and celebrate. We went directly into the bar area and into a booth that was empty. Bar area = open seating .. right? WRONG. So tell me why we were seated for a good 15-20 minutes, servers and busboys passing by our booth taking glances, yet no one ever acknowledged us. Then finally a server asks if we've been helped and when we replied no, she says, ''Oh ok, I'll be back'' (she was on her way into the kitchen after clearing a table) So we think alright, cool. WRONG. Insert Mr. Douchebag stage left: "Hey guys these booths are actually not part of the bar/open seating today so I'm gonna have to ask you guys to wait on the list to get a table." (Note he didn't apologize) Apparently the booths INSIDE the bar area are NOT part of Happy Hour and/or Open Seating when they are 'busy' And don't even try to argue with him because he'll just talk over you like a real douchebag would. The manager of this place really should look into whether or not these kids they're hiring for a customer service oriented position knows ANYTHING about customer service. The apathy we witnessed was really pitiful.

Let me start off with that I like TGI Friday's. I just had a bad visit here - got the lobster tail & steak and chips & spinach dip. Lobster tail tasted burned. Steak was fine. Chips tasted stale and old. Service is slow, despite it not being busy.

Walked in. A waitress walked past. No eye contact. . Actually looked away. The hostess was absent. After an embarrassingly long time, We waived down some guy that looked like he worked there. He sat us next to a table of kids. Left. Won't be back.

Was waiting in line for seating, waited for about 20, but we decided not to go since the wait. Never even got to talk a employee. OK is you are able to wait. Not for kids, because most people are drunk

This review is about Edgar for his unwelcoming and poor service. I arrived at this location for a quick late night meal. It was 2 hours before closing on a weekday, it was not busy at all. The place itself was clean and the environment was welcoming. My boyfriend and I were immediately seated and given menus by Edgar. He returned shortly with our orders of water and while we were still obviously looking at our menus, rushed us by asking what we wanted. After politely explaining to him that more time was needed, he left us alone for a full 15 minutes (yes I timed this) and by the time he returned I was starving. Again, keep in mind that this was not a busy night. I ordered my sirloin medium and was returned with a well-done tough piece of meat that had obviously been sitting out. The reasons I have for this is that 1) the jack Daniels burger my boyfriend ordered was beyond soggy, room temperature, and falling apart when he received his and 2) my sirloin was room temperature and felt like it had just been warmed up. The lack of quick execution of our meal was no big deal to me at first because hey, everyone has a bad day right? Again, Edgar proved his incompetence by leaving us alone for the rest of the night, walking past our table several times and being unaware that we were ready for our check. After we finally received the bill did I see any pleasantries from this gentleman, which made me feel as if he were happy we were finally leaving or happy that he was about to receive his tip. It takes a lot to bother me and I still provided Edgar with a tip that I soon realized should not have been given to him at all. As my boyfriend and I walked to our car, I looked through a window on the left side of the restaurants main entrance. Who do I see? Edgar with his hand inappropriately groping his girlfriends ass while watching the basketball game. He may have been on his break or off work, but displaying this conduct out in the open where customers can assume the worst is unprofessional. Images of his hands touching my food made me cringe. For crying out loud, have you no shame Edgar? Is this behavior okay for you to present to young children who may walk by at any second? Is this the reason why your service was terrible and had a lack of speed? This is what made me upset and prompted me to write a review. Edgar is an embarrassment to this restaurant, so much that I would never think to revisit this place or any other tgi Friday's restaurants. Usually one person doesn't make me hate a place because that seems unfair, but it makes me so angry to know that this man is still hired and allowed to tarnish a restaurants reputation. It's sad to see that I am not the only one who has had much to say about this gentleman either. Fellow patrons, please beware.

Benjamin the waiter is the best! We had a party of 16 and he remained calm and extremely attentive. I will always ask to have him as our waiter. Good food and he made our experience beyond awesome. We were still taking about him when we left. VOGUE

Man, TGIFridays are becoming a dying breed, good thing they have a store near a guy I am dating in Union City. Anyway I remember why I fell in love with them all those years ago plus I've fallen in love with a new item too. The following summarizes my latest adventure here: PLUSES: Great vibe Cool new decor (dark woods and adult fixtures) Delicious food (Sizzling chicken and cheese, ALWAYS a favorite) Friendly staff My date likes so much he keeps talking about it MINUSES: Ummmmmmm Uhhhhhhhhhhh Hmmmmmmm ORGASMIC: Whiskey Cake (the word favorite is so understated!) See you next week perhaps?

I don't frequent TGIF but saw a commercial for their new burgers and had to try one. The burger was excellent. I ordered seasoned fries. There's an extra charge for them but they look exactly like regular fries and they tasted like only salt and pepper was added. They're supposed to be bottomless but the waiter charged for them as a separate item. I have to say that service was lacking all around. The entrance is odd in that there isn't room to check in and step aside so everyone stands around and it's just a cluster.... no one is ever at the front when I arrive. This last visit the host showed up, he never welcomed us. He didn't even say hi. He just asked for the number in our party, said, "hold on, let me see if there's a table" and walked away, then returned with, "over here" and proceeded to walk away. I'm smart so I figured out I was supposed to follow. The server had too much to drink the night before and said he was recovering so he wasn't on point. It was more than between five and 10 minutes before he arrived to take drink orders. Besides the fries, there were delays in getting drink refills, and long delays between checking in on us.

This is a horrible place to eat. We waited 35 minutes for our food. The food was cold, tasteless and overly greasy. The staff stood around talking instead of checking on their customers.. This visit was the worst restaurant experience ever!!!

Went here once with my mom and had chicken tenders and fries and she had a salad I believe. Service was slow, whatever no biggie. Went again with my husband a few months ago and everything was awful! Both of our knives and forks were filthy, posted pictures already. We sat in the front where severs go to get drinks and we were annoyed that the severs used that as a hangout spot to sit and gossip. There was always a crowd of severs over there. One girl was off the clock, I'm assuming, and was grabbing herself and her friends drinks. No one seemed to know how to close the door to the ice, which was right below the soda dispenser and there was a lot of crap falling into it. We got a sampler platter as an appetizer with mozzarella cheese sticks, potato skins, and boneless buffalo things. The ABSOLUTE WORST I've ever had in my life. The cheese sticks weren't ooey gooey, the potato skins were over cooked and bland and the buffalo things were just as bad. The food was even hot. I ordered steak and lobster tail, there was no flavor to the steak and it was grey(????). the lobster tail wasn't terrible, but not that great. My husband had a steak and mashed potatoes, same problem. Our waiter checked on us a few times and didn't bother checking to see that we needed more water. We watched him socialize the entire time while we were eating with the rest of his coworkers. Now I see why so many of these restaurants closed.

If you read one review of TGI Friday's, you've read them all. I came here to watch game 7 of the NLCS and this place was wild. Everyone was cheering and it was the perfect environment to watch the game. The female bartenders were pretty quiet and timid but the guy bartender who came right at game time was awesome. He was hyping up the bar and was super nice. There was however one sleazy guy cracking really vulgar jokes and was annoying me. It was weird that the staff knew who he was and encouraged him! I wouldn't keep pumping him up since it didn't look like he was ordering a whole bunch of stuff and just annoying customers (or me at least). Anyways, this location is pretty nice with lots of televisions and the food was decent. P.S. that Jack Danial's sauce is addicting. Its the only reason I go to TGI Fridays.

It's been years since I ate at TGIF. I used to like it when it first opened... Maybe it's just this one site now, but my lunch experience was very bland. Lite lunch. I just had the French Onion soup. The broth was like a weak tea with no flavor. Not many onions, and flavorless white cheese made it perfectly forgettable. I almost sent it back. But my companion had the Caesar Salad which consisted of a small amount of Romaine with some grated (not fresh) cheese and no dressing. The waitress brought a side of bottled Italian dressing when asked and was apologetic that it wasn't pre-dressed. For the price? and the soup? I would have done better at the IHOP next door. Next time I will. It's stale and old. Originally they had some fun things on the menu. Now it felt like a low-end Denny's.

After a busy morning at the office, I wanted to get out for lunch instead of the usual nuke the frozen meal for lunch at my desk routine. I drove up the road a couple of miles to the TGI Friday's at Union Landing for lunch -- overall, not the best choice. When I arrived, the two girls at the front seemed a little confused but seated me promptly at a booth and presented me with the menu and walked away ... no drink order?? She came back about five minutes later and asked if I wanted something to drink and I ordered an iced tea. She brought me an "iced" tea -- sans ice and room temperature. Another 10 minutes passed before my server, Devon, came by to take my order. I mentioned that it had been 10 minutes, and all Devon could seem to manage was an "I appologize" and a weak excuse that he had been taking care of a large party.. I could see his large party.. all of six people!! Hmmm??? I had the Dragonfire Chicken with jasmine rice and broccoli. The meal came out in about l4 minutes (yes, I timed it). The meal was just OK, not a lot of flavor but at least the chicken was fully cooked and still moist. I was never asked if I wanted a refill on the "iced" tea as my empty glass sat at the edge of the table for the last half of my meal. Devon eventually came by and asked if I had finished and wanted the check. Still no offer to refill the drink. The food was OK but the service stank like last week's fish.

Came here for the first time! It was delicious! The server was very nice our food was spectacular. Was a party of 6 all our steaks were very flavorful and juicy, veggies and baked potatoes so good. We went during the week it was empty so maybe that had to do with it. I'd go again!

Steak and lobster: steak way over cooked. Lobster was ok. Service wasnt much better. Wouldnt go there again. If your waiting for wild wings or something just stick it out. Its worth it.

This was the second time we have visited this restaurant and I have to say it's not up to the standard I am accustomed to from a Friday's. When we walked in the hostess tried to push us into the bar for happy hour. When we refused, she rolled her eyes and seat3d us right next to a large group with a child's birthday party with a lot of empty tables other places in the place. Then it took our server over 15 minutes to acknowledge us and get our drink order. We received our drinks and then our soups. Still no silverware or napkins. Had to flag our server down to get utensils. No refills on drinks. Food was decent. Not sure if I'm willing to return here. We will see.

Arvindram R.

Crappy Food combined with an equally crappy service. For Instance I ask the server "What kind of chicken dishes u got" Her Reply "I don't know U have to look into the menu yourself" with an attitude. We were 6 people and all that we ordered was stale and dry the one that stood out as the worst ever was Jack Daniel's chicken something worth $18.99 a plate which had a piece of stale rubbery chicken. Seriously TGIF u really got to look into something called "Quality and Value".

When you walk in, prepare to be ignored. No smiles, no greeting.. If you DO get noticed at the front, you get blank stares. Yes, from all 3 employees (2 girls and 1 guy) standing there. Umm hello, arent you supposed to ask me how many are in my party, or are you just really stoned right now? Don't you realize there are many people who are unemployed and would love to have your job? Sorry, I didn't realize it was THAT hard to be a hostess..!

Ben L.

Not a big fan... The food all tastes the same. Watch a movie like office space and you want to like this place. Center bar, lots of flair, giant menu. How can you go wrong... By making the good all taste the same. I'm assuming the executive chef is the same one from Applebee's who specializes in bland. After thoroughly dunking all menu items in ranch dressing I found they still taste the same but at least it's masked like a fabreeze shower before a date.

If I could give it zero stars, I would. Worst service ever. "Bouncers" are rude and bartenders are unfriendly. I am so upset after just a 10 minute interaction with this establishment. I would not recommend this particular TGI Fridays to anyone!!!

Aimeree R.

The food was good. My server was horrible though, her name is Tiffany. Like she seriously checked up on us three times while we were completely finished with our food and didn't offer us the check. Then when she gave us the check she just didn't do the whole "any desserts for you guys tonight". I got here at around 10, got seated around 10:15, then she took our orders. But then we didn't get our food until about 11. The food was already cold but I didn't complain because I just got off work and was starving. She wasn't tip worthy.

Everything we order here was so damn good. I had a rib eye steak cooked medium with grilled shrimp, mashed potatoes and some fresh vegetables. Even though I could not finish all of my meal, it was delish. I also had some wings and a wedge salad with blue cheese dressing, loved it!! Plus the service was great!!

LORRAINA SHOULD BE FIRED! I have never felt so unwanted and ignored by my server/bartender. We got a weak greeting, waited forever for her to pour our drinks because heaven forbid she not finish her conversation with friends first. Then had to bother someone else to get our food order in, she knew we wanted to order but never came back to us till it was time to give us the bill. She was fishing for a tip. Oh I definitely wrote her a note tip at the top of my bill.

This place can be hit-or-miss depending on when you go. Forget getting a table here at happy hour here on a Friday night (10pm to close). Going to happy hour on a Monday night (3 or is it 4pm? to 7pm and 10pm to close) , sure, pick a seat any seat. Sat in the bar area at the high top tables with a friend of mine for happy hour on my recent visit. TGI Friday's has a OK to decent happy hour here with half price appetizers, cheap beer, though I would have rated it a star higher if they actually included all their beers on tap with the happy hour prices (like they once used to), but instead they now only include all the mega brand, no-flavor beers (Bud, Budlight, Miller) - 16 oz beers are $2, 20 oz beers are $3.50 and all bottled beers are $3 - Ultimate Margaritas or Long Island Iced Teas are $5 if you aren't in the mood for beer Our waitress was friendly and helpful and gave us good service and was happy to split the bill for us at the end of the night. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program "Stripes" so you can earn free food and drinks if your a regular here. Speaking of being a regular here, not sure that I will become one since they made their recent decision to not include their "premium" beers in the happy hour prices. At least at the Owl (Hooters) in Fremont, all drinks including mixed drinks at the bar are half price at happy hour.

I want to give them a 3.5 stars but since I can't do half star so I am giving them 4. My fiance brought me here because he loves their chicken wings in the Jack Daniel Sauce. We came here on a Sunday right when they open at 11:00am; the hostess looked sleepy when she "welcome" us without a smile; we sat down and was immediate served by a waitress, she was very friendly and helpful. We ordered an order of chicken wings and an order of steak in J.D. sauce. The chicken was amazingly good! I don't know how they did it but it was very flavorful, crispy on the outside and tender in the inside! I would love to order one more if we had the time to dine longer. Not to mention it was half off; Happy hour on the appetizer menu all day on Sunday! The rib eye steak though, I wasn't too impressed because the beef was not a good quality of beef, it was like something I can get from Denny's but in J.D. sauce. We also ordered their Bloody Marry with Grey Goose, it was in a huge glass cup that only costed $8; we will definitely coming back here but I will probably only order their chicken wings and some drinks to go along with it.

i came here with my coworkers meeting up with a vendor for a lunch meeting. it was pretty empty on a wednesday afternoon. we were seated immediately. our waitress took our drinks order but was bad at refilling our cups. it was here's your drinks and never really checked if we needed refills. bad bad. i ordered the korean tacos -- i don't know why would i order korean tacos at an American chain restaurant... but the picture in the menu looked delicious. When our food came it was looked delicious, but when i took a bite.. the beef was super dry. flavor wasn't consistent. i took a bite of the rice -- omg.. it looked moist but it was SUPER DRY! YUCK overall, the service wasn't great. no refills, didn't make sure everyone had utensil, we weren't checked up upon. come back? eh i'll rethink about it.

Karla C.

Reading the reviews I can tell that TGI is consistent with one thing, horrible quality and quanity. I chose to dine in tonight because it was open late. I ordered a flounder, they didn't have any left I then asked to substitute for salmon but couldn't because " We cant subsitute because the flounder is sent to us like that" ok??? I thought we had moved on to salmon, guess I was wrong. Finally we were able to agree on a plate. When I received it I couldn't believe my eyes. That price for THAT portion I think not. The chef's choice of vegetables was brocoli, and my plate had about three spoonfuls of rice. The salmon didn't have much flavor. Overall we left still hungry and unsatisfied and are now waiting on our IN N OUT order after agreeing we will never return. The management could of also done a better job, working at a restaurant myself I know for a fact my manager would of came to speak to an unhappy guest and gone out of their way to fix it. Keep your free dessert.

Today. December. 4th. 2014. At 8pm i wanted to try something. New so i went with my wife and 2kids. we didnt even get the drinks. It took 10minutes. And nobody came so we left. Thats really sad because their was alot of people working and nobody came to even say the waiter will be with you or anything... They should put more people so they can give a better service:-(

Debbie R.

The services sucks!!! Sat at the bar area for 1/2 hour NO ONe came up too us!!! I had to say something to a server before she can help us!!! She said oh I'm sorry no one told me I had new customers at the table!!! What the heckl it doesn't matter if we're new or old you should be coming around your area to check if we need anything!!! This place sucks!!

Personally I find TGI's are over hyped, it's just a sports bar themed restaurant, I do like to come here though simply because of their 2 for $10 menu. Granted there isn't a huge amount of choices within this option but it does include some of their staple dishes such as the spinach sirloin, bruschetta pasta, friday's shrimp, etc... Places like this either leave my wallet burning or my stomach empty so its nice to get a decent meal (appetizer and entree) for just under $13. And if you come for lunch there's rarely a wait at all. Dinner well that's another playing field, If you know you're going to be eating here and you're a group of more than for your best bets to avoid a wait that can go from 30 minutes to even an hour is to make reservations unless you guys are okay with taking over the bar and even than that's hard to do during happy hour.

Leo F.

Place is okay. Always clean. Food quality was better at one time. Now it is of cheap quality. Example the "Jack Daniels burger". Burger size has shrunk and is not as tasty. My favorite waiter is Angel. He already knows who we are and knows what beverages we like. Worst waitress (without mentioning any names) is L. One time I paid with a gift card and went 15 cents over. She had the nerve to ask for the .15 cents. A good waitress would of taken care of it and since we were regular customers. I was expecting that she would of taken care of it. Anyway the laugh is on L. Every time I go there I always request Angel.

I met up with an old friend here last night an it was my first time at TGI Friday's. The service was prompt and efficient--our waitress was so nice and made sure our drinks were always filled. We ended up ordering two appetizers and one entree and a dessert and splitting all of that; needless to say, we were stuffed by the time we stumbled out of the restaurant. It's your typical American chain restaurant--dark, loud, noisy, and mediocre food but something about this place charms me. You HAVE to try their potato skins. So good!

Wil G.

I like this Union City Location because the management take pride and operate it like a local business. The staff is friendly and I like the happy hour times, because it gives you a decent price for happy hour food and drinks, not some sucker punch where the drinks are cheaper but the foods not. I was there a bit during the football playoffs and the management decided to extend happy hours to all the 49er playoff games. I sure hope they continue to "bend" the happy hour times to tweak the crowd. I like the fact they have a lot of TVs and parking is not a major problem... I love to tall beers for $3. Be sure to sign up for the stripes account

Totally recommend this place for Happy Hour if you love being ignored! - 40 minute wait for 2 iced drinks. Watered down and LUKEWARM. - Greasy, rubbery, food. With a pissed off face as the cherry on top. But I get it. Not much to do in this area, and everyone gets thirsty eventually. But you DON'T even get what you paid for here. Invest the few extra bucks and avoid this place unless you want to start off your weekend with a bad taste in your mouth!

Bliss F.

We thought we'd try Friday's since we hadn't been to one in years. Now i know why....this place sucks. Extremely slow service. ..waited 40 minutes for our order. During the wait our waiter never came to check on us or update us on our status. Only after asking another waiter what's up did he come over and say it would be another 5 minutes. He looked like he had been eating while we were here hungry because his teeth were filled with food. And the restaurant wasn't even very busy. After 20 years in the business myself i can be patient if they are busy but the weren't. When we finally got our food it was hot but nothing special. Silly me for attempting to eat here. Don't recommend this plac e unless you want a loud place with slow service and okay happy hour prices.

was heading into Applebees but their happy hours ended at 6, did a quick Google and TGI's happy hours is until 7, I don't usually go into TGI cause it looks more expensive, but it wasn't. alcohol price is about the same, but the appetizers selection is double of chili's and applesbees. The waitresses were great, Alex and another girl working at the bar, even check up on me twice in 20 minutes. I get more cellphone signals in here, service was great, lighting is excellent, atmosphere is perfect what a bar should be. My sesame chicken did took over 15 minutes which was kinda long for an "appetizer" item, which is the only star deducted. overall very nice experience, will repeat for sure.

Avni S.

If your vegetarian, there is limited selection. There's hardly any vegetarian entrees. Only a couple of items from the appetizers can be made vegetarian. I've tried the spinach dip, loaded potato skins (comes with bacon on it and I had to remove it myself) . Both are decent. TGI Fridays- its time you get your act together and come to the 21st century by putting vegetarian offerings on your menu! On a positive note, TGIF is a cool spot to meet up with friends. I do like the atmosphere but unfortunately, the atmosphere I cannot eat. I won't be back anytime soon.

My GF and I were staying at the Holiday Inn Express which was around the corner from this place. And so we went in here not once, but twice! We went back to TGIF by default because we pretty much were convinced this place wouldnt let us down since one of the local seafood place dropped the ball on us the day before. And when we went to TGIF both times, we sat down right away and this is during dinner time during the week. Noticed the bar was always full tho, but Im stoned cold sober now and am on the wagon so no sauce for me tonight. LOL! We like to share, so when we order the entree's we just split it in half and get to enjoy two different entree's in one sitting. But first of all the appetizer : TUSCAN SPINACH DIP is pretty darned good. We ordered it both times on both visits. Its yummy. I think we might have even ordered a double for that. So on both occasions we ordered off the Jack Daniels menu. She ordered the JACK DANIEL'SÂ® RIBS & SHRIMP and I was hungry and ordered the JACK DANIEL'SÂ® MIXED GRILL* Hella good on both! Very tasty. My GF is from Beijing and this menu is one of her favorites when she comes stateside. Its a treat for her so she doesnt mind doubling up on it. LOL! And for dessert, we shared the SALTED CARAMEL CAKE, that was good. The previous night we shared VANILLA BEAN CHEESECAKE Made with real vanilla beans, layered with white chocolate mousse and baked in a graham cracker crust. Topped with white chocolate shavings. A little too sweet but washed it down with lots of water and a cup of coffee! LOL! This is a good place. Very quick service and the food gets to you quicker than the other places in that mall. Maybe the only other one is Appleby's, which I think is a notch down from this place IMO. no complaints from us and this is from two different visits in the same week. Will go back here for sure and will recommend to anyone in the area.

Wife and I wanted to enjoy a "fatty day" so we were headed to Lowes and saw this place and we both thought that this chain had closed down since we hadn't seen on in years. We were greeted immediately and sat down. Our server, I forgot his name (we were there on Sunday the 3rd of August around 11:45) was quick to offer advice, get drinks and other "server duties". We ordered a ton of items, as I said we were having a "cheat day, to last the month"! The food was fine, it wasn't great but it hit the spot in terms of what we were craving...greasy goodness!! Our server was great, he had a personality and wasn't a robot at all, which is always good to see at these big chains! I'm sure the wifey and I will be back, or at least find another reason to go to Lowes so we can stop by here.

Jose O.

Where do begin ??? Poor service , waitress walked by at least 4 times before we were acknowledged. Then when our food arrived the waitress handed me my HOT plate without warning. Her reply " im use to it as I did'nt notice cuz I just handled drinks" WTF , I dont work here and I'm not use to hadling hot plate. Thanks for the warning. It will be reflected in your tip. The food was just as bad as the service, dry tasteles chicken. Maybe it was overcooked beacuse it came from " Foster Farms" I wont be coming back any time soon.

Came on valentine's day after a movie, about 10 pm. Expected a mad rush and weren't disappointed. We're fine with servers being busy, but not slow. The female bartender moved a glacial pace. It took at least 10 minutes for her to take our drink order and another 10 to get them. We ordered 3 appetizers which took at least a half hour to get to us; two were overcooked and had clearly been sitting under heat lamps for at least 15-20 minutes and one was undercooked. Couldn't finish the food; I guess it's lucky we weren't that hungry. Got the inedible food taken off the tab but it still took 10 minutes for the bartender to look our way and see we were ready to leave. There has to be somewhere better than this to go after a movie!

This place is my go-to place when hungry late in the night. I love the the ambiance, everyone is there to catch a game and just relax with some bar bites or have a drink with some friends. It most definitely gets packed when a huge sports game is being shown other than that its not too shabby. The happy hour menu is bar seating only and that is usually open bar so first come first serve. The bar bites on the happy hour menu are so reasonable. All the appetizers are half-off and the sliders are only $1.50. Drinks are not more than $5. (what a steal) I always get the $5 margaritas and they are huge!! The sliders, chicken tenders, nachos, and the chicken wings are a frequent for me. By the end of the night I am completely satisfied.

Went in October 2013 on a Saturday it was packed but we were seated in 25 minutes. Myself and husband and 10 year old son. We sat in a huge wooden booth near the Bar. The music was old school and jamming and very loud. I had the rib eye steak it was so good with shrimp. My husband had the jack Daniels ribs as always he loved his meal. My son was adventitious he had the kids chicken tenders and he hated them. Our waitress kept the soda's coming and was surprising attentive. We live in Emeryville, CA but my husband and I can't wait to go back. We wish it was closer but we will go back again and again.

I only come here on Sundays because of their Special because everyone loves a deal! My date and I each ordered the Jack Daniels glazed wings and split the Loaded Potato Wedges. Our total bill was 15.00 and we were more than full. I couldn't even finish the all the wings.

This place needs intervention by Chef Ramsey. Or probably divine intervention by Jesus. I'm really sad that my experience there wasn't an episode of Kitchen Nightmares, because God knows I felt like that's what I was experiencing. Biggest rule for anyone eating anything: IF YOUR BODY WANTS IT OUT IMMEDIATELY, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. First you meet the horribly unprofessional and ill-mannered hosts/hostesses. That is, after you go seek them out to put you on a list, where the hell are they anyway?! They don't greet anyone! Wtf! Most of the time they were arguing with other hosts and servers. ARGUING LOUDLY. And there's no way to distinguish who is waiting, who has their name on a list, or anything because you're supposed to wait for your seat in the tiny doorway, so people are coming in asking us, "How do we get on the list?" Dear god. Then, as they are calling names, half of the people on there have already left anyway. But instead of going down the list, they cross the name off and walk away. Wtf? Empty tables, 15 people waiting. So we finally get seated and meet the only nice person there, our waitress. But then the food comes (not quickly). Oh noooooo... First, you have to pay for bread, which is the first indication of a horrible restaurant. The "garlic parmesan breadsticks" have NO seasoning, let alone cheese on them. I got better breadsticks at the pizza place outside of my high school. Then, my lemonade comes and it is MINUTE MAID. Ewww!! My date and I both ordered burgers. These weren't just ordinary burgers. THIS WAS BURGER SOUP! WOW. The bottom of the bun on both of our burgers were COMPLETELY soaked through, sopping pieces of bun that ripped as soon as we picked it up for the first bite. Now, I'm not one of those people who is afraid of any kind of food, or afraid of certain textures or anything. And I DON'T have a queasy stomach. I eat Mexican and Indian food with no problem. So believe me when I say this food was DISGUSTING. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I tried to eat it, I really did especially because they charge $12 for a damn burger. But less than halfway through, I had to go to the bathroom because my stomach wanted it out out out! Looking in the toilet I found that my shit looked just like the sopping mess that was on my plate. Lol. So instead of going back to my table, I had to get straight out the door of this terrible place. Even Denny's has burgers that are better and cheaper and more liable to stay intact than this shit was. I would rather eat Burger King than a burger from here.

Outdoor patio which is perfect for my debacherous crazy friends when we're having happy hour. I like the service - as getting drinks is really easy, except on extremely rushed times - even then the bartenders do a really good job of making sure they attend to everyone. Typical bar food - which is fine with me, don't go expect a 5 course meal though!

We attended TGI Friday's last night for a birthday party and we got food poisoning from the cheeseburger that we ate off the same burger and we were both vomiting all day today I would never recommend going there again

Been here a handful of times and I usually don't review chains but today was terrible. Only come here because my boyfriend loves the jack Daniels sauce more than the actual steak. Five o'clock on a Wednesday you think it wouldn't be bad... We were wrong. It wasn't full and there was no wait. Took 15 minutes for a server to acknowledge us, another ten to get our drinks, and our food came out half an hour. That's almost an hour to see food from time of arrival. Bf ordered steak medium rare and it came out well done. We asked for it to be replaced and it took another 20 minutes. I won't go into details about what I ordered, but my Mac and cheese side was f$&@!n penne with bread crumbs!!! There were more pieces of penne noodles than shreds of cheese! The cheese was basically sprinkled on to penne noodles and melted... So once the cheese was gone it was plain old penne noodles again, what the fork?! To get a to go box for our potato skin leftovers- the only things decent took forever and so did the check and getting the card back. I know chains can't hire some world class experienced servers but I'm sick of these kids foolin around with my meal time! FYI I've served In a restaurant before and I know the hard labor it takes to keep one running but these kids man, I would never not tip but they are pushin it!

WARNING!!!! DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE SEATS OR FLOOR OF YOUR CAR. I was there last night for a quick dinner, car was parked IN FRONT of the floor to ceiling window first set of stalls. My window was broken and belongings stolen. TGI could care less, I spoke with manager, they don't have outside cameras, just inside cameras. Union Landing is getting to be a scary place so be safe. The food...it was ok, salmon overcooked, service was slow. I will find a better and safer place to eat. I say this because this is a nightly occurrence in Union Landing.

I've never liked coming to this place. Pros: ~ The service is nice. NOT GOOD. Just nice. The servers are very friendly. Crafty people trying to make me feel bad about giving one star but I'm going to do it anyway. ~ Clean. ~ They have good taste in music. One time I came here and they had The White Stripes playing. Awwww yeah. That's about it. Several things I have to complain about: SLOW. SLOW SLOW. I came here with my family the last time and I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered a side of mashed potatoes. Just a little side of it. Tell me why it took 25 minutes to arrive. Slowest service I have EVER experienced. 25 minutes would be fine for a big plate, but a small cup of mashed potatoes? It wasn't even that good either... Very microwaved, powdery, and tasteless. I tried to make up for it by ordering a red velvet cake. ... How can you mess up red velvet cake? Why did it taste like dark chocolate and not red velvet light delicious spongey? Why am I eating in your shitty establishment? So many questions. I'm sorry, the servers are awesome. But TGIF, how many damn chefs do you have?

When we first moved to Union City, I was excited to be near Fridays. Unfortunately, this place has really gone downhill. The service is just okay, but the food taste like they pulled it out of a can, freezer, bag, or some other sort of cheap grocery store purchase. Service - 3 stars Food - 1.5 stars

Lately their service has been pretty bad. The last 2 times I've been here, they've messed up my orders. Today, it took them over 10 minutes to come over and ask me about what I wanted to drink. They didn't have the wine I wanted (Robert Mondavi Private Selection), they screwed up my drink and the way things are going, I'm sure they will also mess up my order. This place used to be a nice place with geat service, but quality of service has significantly gone down. At least the new booths and chairs make the place look better.

Food was decent but love their happy hour menu. Haven't been to many restaurants with happy hour on weekends. Love their half off appetizers: Nachos grande was good, baked potato skins lacked cheese, buffalo wings was bomb, and bbq chicken flatbread was okay. Brownie obsession for dessert, omg amazing!! Friendly service and had a a good time with friends.

lets start with I ordered a french dip but when it came it didnt have the cheese, mushroom or onions as described. then my waitress was going to bring everything out on the side for my meat to get cold and build the sandwich myself. I will not come back here again.

The place should be Thank. God. It's. Cold Inside. Why does a place like this has to be so cold during the winter time. It just don't make any sense. I feel for the person who waited on us. But the food is so overrated here. Granted a lot of chain restaurants use pre-cooked foods. My baked potato should have been hot not luke warm. Even though I ordered steak on the mid-rare. It came out to be rare and chewy. It was not the right cut for a rib eye. I'm a steak professional. I know my steaks. They need to do their veggies better. Instead of steaming them. They should saute it with olive oil and garlic. Then maybe people will eat more healthier it if was done like that. My mom's dish was overcooked. Her steak was too dry hard to chew. Her lobster tail was way over cooked by a couple of minutes. It looked like a goofball not a lobster tail. The air in the place made my food cold. A lot of customers still had their jackets on. I was not comfortable in that place because of it. This place still needs to be improved so does their food. I don't mind the service at all.

This place needs to have a chat with their staff...I ate here a few days a go with my husband and we were seated right away, but after the waiter came by to take our order things went down hill from there. We ordered the BBQ chicken pita bread something fairly simple and should be quick to make, it came out later than expected, but it was ok since sometimes food comes out a little late. Our dinner however one being steak that was medium rare which was more like medium and very chewy and a burger that came out very dry all came way later than the appetizer! Forty minutes is way too long for what we ordered, that and never asked to refill our water, we had to wave them down. I remind you this place was in no way busy! Next time going to go to Texas roadhouse instead...

The day before Valentines, I took my wife out to dinner, since 2/14 is always crowded wherever you go. But on this day, Friday's wasn't that busy, so we were seated right away. We started with the Crab Cake appetizer, which came out very quickly. The two cakes were very large and mostly crab with very little filler. They didn't have much of a taste on their own, but the dipping sauce provided a must-needed kicked. Both my wife & I ordered a steak and shrimp meal, though with different sides. My wife got the Jack Daniels Sirloin and fried shrimp with a side of Parmesan Garlic Fries and a Tomato Mozzarella Salad. Her steak and shrimp tasted fine, but the fries were drenched in a really heavy sauce, and she barely touched it. I ordered a Rib-eye steak and added some scampi shrimp, along with a baked potato and the salad. I ordered my steak medium rare, but it came out of the kitchen very rare. It tasted fine, but was a lot more chewier than I prefer. Next time, I'll order my steak medium to get the right texture. Overall, the meal was just fine. Not bad, but not fantastic, either. Our service was exceptional, though, with our server refilling our drinks frequently.

I have to say that I really like the bartenders but the service you get when seated is less than par. We ordered some drinks at the bar and some appitizers while we waited almost 45 minutes for a table on a relatively slow day. We wanted a table around the bar area but was seated right by the bathroom and it took 1 hour for some buffalo wings which came out wrong the first time and we had to wait another 20 minutes for the right ones to come. If you sit at the things come out better and faster...

TGIF/UC had become a favorite restaurant for me... but, today's experience will definitely change that! The server had attitude that was noticed immediatey... I checked with my friend to see if she noticed ... "Yes!"... She had all kind of issues taking our simple order... So, my food arrives and my MEDIUM petite sirlon was dark brown and tough... My replacement was burnt on the outside with the taste of greasy charcoal!!!... btw... I had finished the veggies (those that I COULD EAT) and BAKED potato by the time the replacement arrived!!!... My friend's shrimp w/fries looked that the boxed stuff you can by at a good dollar store... They ALWAYS have the worst looking/tasting broccoli... yellow... white... soggy... yuck!... Then came the bill!!!! My goodess... The "manager" had come to address the food issue and agreed to compute the bill (w/adjustments). We had the 2/$20... and now my half is being deducted... A takeout order was a stripes comp/ as well as the chips and salsa... but the bill came to $29.??!... My calculation= @$10.00 +tax... So we finally get the bill straight at $12.58... I put a $20 bill in the folder... The server finally took it and returned it with $7.00!... I asked about the change= 42 cents and she sad... "oh. I don't have any change..." Huh??... " There's no change at the register......" What? (with curious look)... Server: "Do you want me to get some change...?.... Duhhhh.... "No" (I'm out of here!).... Have you ever?????? $3.00 tip is the best I could do... and that was overtipping for that experience (usually I do 18-20%)... This may be long, but I could add more... The meal from #$@&!

Went here with coworkers last night after a long day at the office. We all rushed over, worried they closed at 10pm. Too our surprise they were open...and until midnight! Things kept getting better when we realized happy hour started at 9:30pm M-Th. Our table ordered 2 of the Jack Daniels Tenders (always a GREAT choice,) a Chicken Quesadilla (a little on the soggy side ,) Thai Pork Tacos (good, but didn't look anything like they do in the advertisement...3 VERY small tacos, and not half off on the happy hour menu.) and the BBQ chicken flatbread (on the low cal menu...only 340 calories!!) Our table was drinking LITs and Guinness...drinks were great for the price!! Ended up getting out of there with a $20 tap/pp. Not too bad!! Will certainly return in the future

Went here last minute with my bf, felt alittle bad because it was so late. But we got seated fast, and the service was awesome! Also the manager was still there that late and took the time to make sure our order was handled good and that we were happy. I haven't had great service like this in a restaurant in some time. So thanks to the TGI Friday's crew and we will be back!!

Courtney K.

This Fridays has been remodeled recently, at least the bar area has been and it looks pretty good. I usually don't come here to eat lunch or dinner, me and my friends usually just hit the happy hour on weekends when we want to stay local. Can't beat half priced appetizers and cheap drinks. When it gets warmer they also serve outside in the patio area which is nice.

This is my first dine in experience at TGIF on 6/14 dinner time, I came here with my dad and wife to for father's day dinner. MY ADVISE IS IF YOU PLAN TO USE A COUPON, DON'T COME HERE We always wanted to try eat in here and we finally did because we received coupon in mail for buy 1 entree and get 1 free with 2 orders of beverage. Perfect! After we sat down, the waitress greeted us. Then I showed her my coupon and asked if I could use it. The waitress told me "sure you can use the coupon but you can not use it to order anything with lobster on the entree menu." I double check the coupon but it doesn't has restriction listed for entree choice. We didn't know there is restriction and we wanted to order the entrees with lobster. I asked why we couldn't use it for lobster and the waitress told me their manager told them that but she can ask her manager see if they allow us to use it this time. After a minute, she came back after asking the manager and told us her manager said we can use it for THIS TIME ONLY .. (OK.. good) We ordered Appetizer: BBQ chicken flat bread $10 Entree: lobster & ribeye entree $24 Entree: lobster & ribs entree $22 Off the entree menu: we ordered a burger $12 Drink: Gold Medalist $3.5 Drink: Another fruit drink $3.5 After placed the order the waitress told us they can only free the Burger because it free the cheapest entree out. I told her the burger isn't even from the entree menu, are you kidding me? I re-read the coupon to her that says buy 1 entree and get 1 free with 2 beverages equal or less value. My dad got angry and asked what if we need to split the check will we get the second lobster entree free then? The waitress said yes if we don't mind doing it and she will ask her manager if that is OK. After a minute she came back and said she got it taken care of. (OK again.. fine) We finished our meal and I asked for check. The waitress really brought us two bills to free our 2nd lobster entree. I tried to pay with credit card but I waited 10 minutes the waitress never came back to pickup the check. After 10 minutes someone looks like their manager in red shirt asked if this is ready. I said yes and asked if I could use same credit card to pay for both bills. Then he misunderstood me and thought I asked if I wanted to them to put two bills back into one. So he did it for me.. OK so he just put two bills back into one after the waitress tried so hard with her ideas to stop us from using the coupon and not letting us order the entree that has lobster.... TGIF Management, if you don't want your customer to use your coupon then don't send me the freaking coupon in mail. You want your customer feel embarrassing for using a coupon then you did it. THANK YOU FOR MAKING US FEEL EMBARRASSED The food was excellent but really the experience trying to use your coupon is a joke. I don't think I will be coming back in a while.

The only thing keeping this place active is the discounted happy hour and the good food. I came here to watch the giants game after getting off work on a non-busy Sunday. Last time I was here (1 year ago) the service was bad, but not horrible. Sadly the service has recently changed to worse. The waiters ignore you when the place isn't busy. They don't frequently ask how you are doing. Then when you want to give them payment for the meal and service (20% tip) they still ignore you. I am not the only one who has to flag down the waiters in a non-busy time. No one is even being loud or rowdy. The only people the waiters showed attention to were people who came in groups greater than 2. This TGIF has just lost a customer, and I will tell everyone I know not to go to this place again. Hopefully the managers improve the customer service or this place will go out of business.

Ate here this weekend, and it was the most disappointing meal I've ever had. We waited 40 minutes for nachos. When they arrived, they were cold, and the jalapenos were NOT on the side, like we had requested. 30 seconds later all of our food arrived. My husband got the wrong side, and his ribs were only warm. My crunchy parm crusted chicken had sat under the heat lamp and was neither crunchy nor hot. Room temp is being kind. The sauce on the side of tortellini was all glazed over, like it had been sitting for too long, and the tortellini was borderline cold. My daughter's mac and cheese was only just warm, and the broccoli was cold. With an antsy one and two year old, who had been waiting for food for 40 minutes at this point, we opted to just eat it, but I complained. The server was apologetic, as was the manager, and he removed the nachos and ribs from the bill. That was nice of him, but still.... it was a waaaay disappointing meal. I was a waitress for many years, and I know "stuff" happens, but our server and food was was terrible. We will not be coming back.

Our food took awhile to make its way to us. However, our waiter and the rest of the employees were all very friendly and extremely hardworking. A baby at a nearby table knocked over several glasses of water & a bus boy came around to clean it up and couldn't have been more pleasant about it. I don't fault any of the employees for the amount of time it took us to get our food. Friendliness and hardworking attitudes count for a lot in my book. ;) Clearly, this place needs to hire more people.

Went here as a nod to my wife's preferences. Decent service, but probably the worst quality rib eye that I've ever seen. Just awful food quality. To top it off, ordered shrimp with the steak and got a nice bout of food poisoning. First time ever! Thanks TGIFs!

We went here last night. I ordered the jack Daniels mixed grill (steak an half slab ribs) I asked for another half slab since I knew my guy would want some too. He ordered a chicken cease salad an a french dip. I should have known when the server brought his soda out wrong that the dining experience was going to suck... He ordered a sprite no ice... got ice.. taken care of right away... my drink took over 20 mins... fast forward to getting our food... my order came out full slab of ribs no steak. When I question it I'm told that I can't add a half slab to my order so the server just put in a full slab without the steak.. I am soo upset I just wanted to leave. I told them to box up my food. They add on the steak. Told them to box that up too. The person who delivered our food was insistant that they dont offer what i ordered... server comes by and says no reason to be upset my order is being cooked..My guy never got his french dip. Got the bill and it wasn't even on there. He asked for the manager. Manager came and listened. Said that our server was a trainee. If he's a trainee why wasn't he following a more experienced server? Long story short. Manager comped what I ordered and the French dip and a drink. Which is why they get one star. I doubt I will ever go back...

This place sucks. Came here with a gift card and bought myself a 2 for $20 dinner including dessert with some friends. The food was okay. The only reason why i'm giving this place a low rating is because our server was a horrible waiter. Our total came out to be $33. We paid with our $25 gift card and $20 in cash.. the problem was that they gave us back 7 dollars back on the gift card. WHY would we get back a gift card with 7 dollars on it? What are we supposed to do with a $7 gift card for a restaurant with bland food?? We complained to the manager and finally got our cash back. Never coming back to this place.

Every time I have been to this Fridays I have had terrible customer service. The waiters and waitresses never seem to check in on you or anything. A few friends and I had gone on a Sunday for their happy hour, which is one plus they offer on Sundays. All day happy hour with half off appetizers and fairly priced certain drinks. My friend ordered a plate of fries, when they came out they were cold and stale! We had to flag down another waitress and she replaced them. We all got various appetizers from the boneless wings to the nachos. It took forever for our food to come out, and when it did they too were cold and stale. The wings were hard and not fresh and the cheese on the nachos looked like it had been sitting there for a while. Definitely only coming back for happy hour drinks if that.

I LOVE this place. Awesome Happy Hour and awesome staff. I usually sit at the bar area and enjoy a game. Last night they had a bartender competition and it was AMAZING. I thought I was in Vegas for a second there. Next time you are in, ask when the next bartender comp is going down. You will be entertained for free! A+ service on price and location. Cons-Finding a parking spot and a seat can be a challenge but it's worth the wait.

Michelle B.

HORRIBLE! That about sums it up! If I could give this place a negative, I would! You must be asking why? Well here you go.... 1. Service was "holy crap, how is this girl still employed" below standard. I think everyone in there was right out of high school and didn't know the meaning of "costumer service." It took forever before our little high school server (with no personality) took our order. I believe I gave her an order for a cocktail. Guess what? Never came! Was she deaf or stupid? Both? Not quite sure. Either way, I settled for water. 2. Even though everyone else at the table seemed to like their food, mine...NOT so much. My broccoli tasted like it was steamed in toilet water. No joke! Being completely serious here. It was brown not green. Why would anyone even put something like that on a plate? The salmon was good but that was about it. And thanks for bringing the appetizers out without any plates or utensils. I'll just eat this wilted salad with my fingers. Thanks! 3. The bathroom was disgustingly dirty! I think someone had a paper towel fight in there. This place sucks and yup, I won't be going back EVER! Dang, and now that I think about it, I should have looked at Yelp before going here. I have learned my lesson. Anyone who rates this above a one star, you must have seriously lost your mind or have never seen food before and thought this place was the next best thing to white bread.

I'd say the rating here is a pretty accurate representation of the place, went here for happy hour and it was packed. However there were a good number of tables that were unoccupied but had not been cleaned. After claiming a table I had to go find a waitress to clean the table and she clearly saw me waiting to talk to her after she was done talking to a table and purposely walked the opposite direction, I had to chase her ass down to ask her to clean the table. So there's how i feel about their service, sub-par to say the least. The happy hour prices are pretty good though and the foods pretty decent, I wouldn't go here for their regular menu. My best advice for you is to call ahead of time, find out when the happy hour is and go (happy hour is bar area only) and don't be afraid to fight for your table! Appetizers are half off during happy hour too!

Still a good place to bring family and friends. Love the decor which can have a relaxing affect which is a good thing specailly during the mid-day.Service was great for drinks I had a rum and coke and the wife had the peach sangria. I must say the my drink was perfect youd be surprised how many bartenders there are that can't make a basic mainstay drink. This was on the money! The wife had cajun shrimp with chicken pasta, was delish! Daughter had ribs with shrimp. The ribs very very tasty,my daughter didn't offer me a shrimp. I had the ribeye steak medium with shrimp scampi. The shrimp were prawn size and flavourful, the ribeye was tasty but a tad on the chewy side.The wait staff , what can I say they were there for us!

Came in here for lunch with a friend after church to watch an nba playoff game. We normally go to BJs but decided to give Fridays a chance. There was a crew of employees that gathered at the table in front of ours, not sure if they were on shift yet, but they talked about everything that happened during the week and cussed like there was no tomorrow. They were so loud. Needless to say it didn't make the experience very memorable, but the food was good and there were lots of people watching the game so the atmosphere was manageable. We had a couple of orders of buffalo wings and the jack sampler. Not sure if this is the place for family if this is how the staff behaves normally. May try it again, but during a different time when there is a different staff on call.

One of the last stop on the Union City Bar Crawl. This place has an awesome happy hours. Probably the best around. Seriously the drinks specials here are unrivaled. The food is something disgusting though. You don't want to touch this crap. It's all out of a package and deep fried. Everything tastes pretty much the same. Like poop. If you're really getting the drunk munchies after hours of destroying your liver; keep your eye on the prize. Your taste buds should not be wasted on this junk.

Bryan C.

Food is decent and price is alright especially during happy hour. What I knocked 3 stars for was that I had to wait literally 45 long minutes AFTER being sat for the server to ask me if I would like to get started with a drink. After I ordered the food it took 45 minutes to get my food, which wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't already wait 45 minutes. I can also be more understanding if the restaurant was packed. This wasn't the case. It was nearly empty during happy hour (they have happy hour for a reason, to encourage more customers to come at late afternoon hours since it usually is slow). The problem was that they only had 1 server for possibly 8 tables or more. Shockingly understaffed. Also, this isn't the first time I've had terribly slow service. This happened at least 3 times already.

I understand some employees have off days... But when u come to work leave all the drama outside the door.First they want us to stand for 15mins while there's a table available right in front of us.Then we order drinks and they tasted like water downed kool aid. Instead of offering us a different drink this mF just takes um off the table n don't say nothing. Smh wtf is that. We're paying customers.we ain't trying get nothing for FREE.Do not go here.This place is Officially INVALID!!!!!!!!

WOW!!! After 45 minutes of waiting for our order we wave our waiter down. It so happens that MIKE (tall, bald guy) FORGOT TO PUT OUR ORDER IN. WTH? It wasn't even busy when we got there! At this point, I'm already irritated and hungry. We asked him if he can do something about it, like comp us an appetizer, anything. He said, "No, it'll come out of my paycheck." I don't give a F about your paycheck. ONE star for MIKE Service is obviously inconsistent here. Meh.

Walked in and wasn't even properly greeted. I just stood there awkwardly while the 2 hostess girls and one hostess (hoster?) dude talked and ignored me. Like what the fuck man I'm not that short. So I had to ask the guy cause we made eye contact how long the wait was. Then one of the girls answered me and said 10-15 min so I said okay cool and then they went back to talking to each other so I had to ask him if I'm supposed to wait or stand in line (it's been like 5 years since I've been to TGIF) and he said I had to write my name down. And then he just fucking stood there. So I told him to put 2 under my name and THEN he went and got the damn clipboard and put my name down. So after waiting for about 20 minutes we were finally seated. Our server was nice and quick. Not very attentive cause it was so busy but what can you expect from a TGIF, right? Needless to say after we ate we got the fuck out of there asap. But yeah, the hostesses should be the main people to set the mood in the beginning and these hostesses did a horrible job. Singing and fooling around on the job while ignoring customers. It was really annoying. If I had more time I probably would have complained to the manager. Most likely will not ever come back.

I've never been a fan of American chain restaurants. Chili's, Outback, Applebees, Marie Calendars, BJ's etc..They are all the same to me.. BLAH!!! Howeverrrrrrr, I came here for a birthday a few weeks ago and discovered their HAPPY HOUR MENU!!! Every weekday from 10- Close- Half off drinks & $5 margaritas!!!! They also have a prefix menu, where you can pick an appetizer, TWO entrees, a dessert and a margarita for only $22 dollars!!! Crazy, isn't it? I felt like slapping myself for making any pass judgment about this place. My apologies.

I hadn't been here for year or so, but some things have changed. The most apparent one being, their prices seemed to have jumped from the average entree being around 12 dollars to around 18 now, and the food quality has stayed the same. I think their food is decent but if im having a 60 dollar dinner Id probably rather be at a nicer restaurant, not one that has a college bar vibe My drink (pomegranite cucumber cooler) tasted great but must have been pretty weak. I felt nothing from this drink and normally one drink is all I need for a nice buzz. Speaking of the bar, our server really meant well when she apologized on the wait for our drinks and I appreciate her stopping by to apologize. But next time you could leave it at: Sorry for the wait on those drinks. Not "Sorry for the wait on those drinks, one of our bartenders is really sick and had to leave early" um.... o_O do I need to take vitamin C after this drink?

Called to order something to go. Had me stay on hold for the length of two songs only to tell me that the items featured on the FRONT of their official site was not available. Not because they ran out, but because they just don't offer it.

Spending an evening with my friend Becca, we were in the mood for munchies 'n movies. We decided on a flick at @ Union City and had about 45 minutes to spare before the movie. Plenty of choices within the parking lot, we didn't feel the time crunch would be an issue. Even if we missed previews....an hour to spare? not bad at all. This was during the week, not a weekend but still. It was 9ish pm & we first attempted to eat at pasta pomodoro, closed. Sushi place, closed. Fuddruckers, closed. TGI Fridays.... seated immediately. That's when service took a nose dive. Did not even get greeted by any servers beyond the door person seating us for a good 10 minutes. Next, the server takes our drink orders (easy enough) 2 shirley temples. Ten more min. later he comes back with "Here's your two waters!" My reply- Ugh. Shirley Temples? Oh yeah (haha, sorry) be right back. The overall order consisted of salad for me with a side of blue cheese crumbles. And an appetizer of pot stickers. In my opinion, easy enough to prepare and bring out. All of this took up nearly an hours worth. Even after bringing the food, the server forgot one LAST item. The silverware, no joke. I was so impatient I had practically eaten most of my salad finger-style before proper utensils arrived. Very poor service. Not worth the efforts of being open later. We could've found more decent food options at the movie theatre itself. I rate this chain restaurant with 3 stars because the food/drinks were good despite poor service with a lack of focus and unmotivated staff.

This place has THE most terrible service I have ever experienced. Came here with a party of 12 for a friend's birthday dinner. I ordered the Honey Salmon Pecan with side order of the basket of fries. The waiters waited about half an hour before they took our orders. It took them about 45 minutes more for us to get our food, after we complained twice! On top of that, three of us didn't even get our order (not even side dishes)! So we had to complain yet again, and it took them 15-20 minutes longer to get the food out. My salmon was stiff and flavorless., and didn't even come with pecans... I had a better time eating my fries. On top of that, the bill was ridiculously high! Given, there were a few incompetent people on the other side of the table playing pink lemonade pong and "jerk the straw in the water to make it splash everywhere", but seriously?! The service charge+tip+high prices of meals=ugh. Never coming back.

Our server really did a lousy job. We were really close to having the manager come to our table, before we paid our bill. I really wanted to argue with the $1 tip my friend left, but i couldn't. I did have a talk with the manager before leaving, to explain our dissatisfaction. She was understanding and apologetic and really wanted to make it up to us. As a server, Maria did a lousy job of representing the business... as a manager, Teresa did a good job of trying to salvage the situation. I'll probably give them a chance to get a better rating from me.

So, I was here for my friends birthday and just hoping to get a good meal because I was starving especially since I just got off work and didnt eat anything.First i want to say is that the service was decent, no complaints here, the servers were polite and took down my order quickly. Other than that the vibe is good, not too loud and not too quiet. The only problem, that I can say is the prices for the food did not match what they gave me. Its like they were stingy on the food or something because I ordered a burger and I thought it would be at least decent size because it was bit on the pricey side. The burger was pretty small compared to the picture and they gave me like a size small fries that looked like it was from Mc Donalds. Honestly, I would have gone to applebees because at least there portions are decent size, enough to actually get me full. I only gave it that extra star because of the service and the setting, other than that the food, is not worth spending money over.

One word. AWFUL. Awful food, Awful Service. I came here on Friday with a few friends to enjoy a dinner out. By the end of the meal, the service was so horrible and we were so hungry, we were almost not even friends anymore lol. When we arrived, we put our name down on the waitlist. I stood outside the front doors for us to get called. About 15 minutes later, I walked in again to check on our table, the host gave me mad attitude and told me he had already called our table and next time I should stand closer to the restaurant. Excuse me? I was right outside the front door, maybe you should use your legs and go check. Wtf? I actually mentioned out loud that I had been right outside, and he gave me a death stare. Then he proceeds to seat us at the back most table next to the bathrooms and the kitchen. Again, WTF? Next, our waiter was "on a break" so we got another waitress taking our order. She put in our order (we ordered nachos) and almost 40 minutes later, they came... that too COLD. I ordered a drink, which she never brought, and then after I asked our REAL waiter to cancel my drink, it magically had already been made and given to me. Then we ordered a salad, again, it took another 30 minutes for a simple SALAD to arrive. We didn't even eat it, we had to box it up and leave. Our waiter was not at all apologetic, and he barely came by to check on us. He pretty much ignored us everytime he went to the kitchen... hmm maybe it had something to do with the crappy seating. Overall, I am not cool with this place. I don't like spending my money on a useless meal with terrible service. I could cook better food and be happy eating in. This place is a terrible chain, and for the price of their food, I expect some better service. Needless to say, I will never be going back here again. And a note to the host with a terrible attitude, you suck at your day job.

The bar tender mike is really nice and friendly. We bought drinks from him all night because he had great customer service and always had a smile on his face. As of the other workers they looked miserable. I definitely would come back to the bar at least

I went here all the freakin' time when I was still in high school just for the food and the entertainment. Now that I'm way over 21 years of age, I go here for the HAPPY HOUR!! The bartenders are always nice!! =) As for the wait for the food, it takes awhile to get to your table... I don't know what's up with that shit?? I go here seldom whenever I'm in the area with one of my girls!! Now the lastest news about TGI Fridays.... They have this new "Give Me More Stripes" rewards card program where you can get a FREE DESSERT with a purchase of an entree on your birthday! Of course, you'll get a FREE birthday song out of it...... Plus, just for signing up with their program, you will get an email coupon for a FREE APPETIZER or DESSERT and a pass to go in front of the other customers that was ahead of you. =) Nice!!! You will receive a coupon for an $8 coupon for free food for every $100 you spend and other benefits too!! =)

I love TGI Fridays. It's always been great service. However last night.. our waitress was sooooo super slow... Right when we were seated the waitress came back 3 different times of which, everytime she came she said, I will be right back for ur order.. then our drinks took forever to come out but somehow she was politely rude, if that makes any sense.. lol.. anyhow, we 'll be back in hopes that we won't get the same waitress again!

Robert M.

It's hit or miss with the service here. Sometimes they are prompt and the food is piping hot, or sometimes you wait 30 minutes to see your server. The happy hour use to have a lot of beer options and great food choices, but they have narrowed the choices and now have narrowed the time. I will probably be trying the other neighboring loctions to see what they have to offer during Happy Hour. The Bartenders are usually pretty nice and work fast but it is not always easy to get a seat at the bar or the bar area.

This rating is really for their drinks and happy hour. Love their drinks, the fruity drinks don't have a strong alcohol taste to it and their ultimate drinks for happy hour are made w/top shelf alcohol. If your in the mood for steak, know this isn't a place for great steaks, I order medium rare cus they usually are dry and over cooked. But when you get it don't sit there and complain because what did you expect from this type of place. The food is actually good, if you know what to choose. Think of this place as a fast food place, since the better choices are anything fried and burgers. Every time I come its always for drinks and always at happy hour. When hungry, the usual choices are fried green beans, fried mozorella, fried shrimp, or burgers.

The food is okay. The buy 1 get 1 makes up for it (1 star up to 3). Service,like what others have stated, is not this place's forte. We got seated promptly since we got there around 5pm, still early and not quite dinner time yet. Our waitress didn't get to our table until literally after 5 minutes later (seemed much longer than that). By that time, we were ready to order our food, she took them promptly. At this time, there were no utensils/napkins on the table... which we saw all set up on the table across from us. Drinks showed up and so did the appetizer... still no utensils/napkins. Finally our entrees were being delivered... still no utensils/napkins, my wife asked for them. Now at this point, I thought that our waitress would make getting the utensils her first priority... no stopping at other tables, just really quick get the utensils. Or grab the ones from the other table for us. It could have been a really quick fix. After waiting for a short while, she decided to grab 2 sets from the table across from us. And then the waitress showed up with 2 sets of utensils... a little too late. After that things got better. I'm guessing she was busy? But still, what I see here is a lack of time/customer's management. Observing the rest of the crew, I saw many of them walked pass our table without even a slight glance and maybe only 1-2 of them were smiling. I understand that each waiter/waitress has his/her own designated tables, but they all still work for the same restaurant. A bit better team work would've made things go much smoother. Maybe help keep an eye out for customers who are ready to order or need something... relay it to the designated waiter/waitress. Be eyes and ears for each other, instead of everyone for him/herself. Or maybe designate a person or two to do this 'spotting' job, engage the customers. Look and smile to all restaurant's customers, even when they are not on your designated tables. It might seem so small and simple, but it can add a lot to the overall service impressions and atmosphere. As I stated above, the service did get better toward the end, also the reason why it's a 3-star review. People will always come for great service. Many would even tolerate the food a bit if the service is great. Fix the service, I can see this place getting more or updates to 4 stars (at least).

I come in for drinks sometimes. Try the Roscato (red moscato) and the sangrias. The staff is friendly and quick and it's other patrons mind their own conversations even while they're next to you at the bar.

typical fast-food-sit-down joint with a bunch of teens running the place. nothing stands out. nothing worth complaining about. had the jack daniels sampler and korean tacos. not enough meat. it was more like a veggie taco. it was made with lettuce, and minimal cabbage. MY BAD. i wasn't at a korean place... i will say this: i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the jack daniels coconut shrimp. it may be worth the slow service ... maybe.

Avoid this place unless its the last place left on earth!! Been going to this place for more than 10 years and were decently satisfied with employees and food/drinks quality. However, we were turned into scapegoats thru conspiracy by the security guard and hostess' on our last visit. All seemed to be fine on this last night that we were there, the bar was closing around 2am, we were asked to close our tab, which we did and paid with a debit card. Meaning that funds had to be available for the damn thing to even go thru. FYI - about 15 mins before we paid and left, a group of patrons (also a party of 4) was asked to leave the restaurant as they were arguing and being rowdy in the restaurant. The security guard quickly escorted them out and let them go. Tons of people saw them leaving. 2 mins after we exited the parking lot of TGI's, Union City police stopped us for not paying our bill. We're like: "is this a joke?", but apparently it wasn't, the security guard and maybe other staff gave the cops our license plate number as the guilty party, when clearly everyone saw the other group of 4 create a ruckus and leave. We explained to the police exactly what happened, but management was unable to clarify this for almost 1 - 1.5 hours, we got home @ 4am that morning. How hard is it for cops to call a restaurant and ask the manager to go thru the last 5 - 10 merchant copies of signed receipts and clear up the matter. My inclination: the security guard was trying to make sure his friends could get as far away as possible while cops could harass an innocent party. SO, just in case your planning to be disrupted by rowdy crowds, harassed by cops and be conspired on by security guards employed here, feel free ! Otherwise, there's tons, literally tons of places, 100 times better in food quality and options and much more decent client base in the area.....

My wife saw an add on TV for an offer of a 2 for 20 dinner, what a run around we got, the hostess seated us and brought us menus, our server came and we told him we'd like the 2 for 20 menus , he brought some funky looking cards that we're small and nowhere near what my wife saw in the T V commercial, when asked about it he said that they were printed on some sort of paper, I told him that the whole thing was a scam just to get us in the door, we left.... Went around the corner to the Texas Roadhouse and enjoyed a great meal without all of the smoke and mirrors this place demonstrated

Chorii M.

Call me modern yet, I feel at a family friendly establishment the atmosphere is suppose to make you feel welcome; however to be seated at a table with the hurtful homophobic word F***ot scracthed into it was offensive and unprofessional and after we where seated some where else they seated another party to the same defaced table. It makes no sense for the manager to not have been notified about this when the tables are "suppose to be cleaned after each party. Not to mention the horrible service of our first waitress who had a terrible attitude tall short black haired African American girl named Amber who never advised us our server would be changed. The next waitress I must say was very sweet and attentive, she took care of the situations and troubles she had not caused mind you this was only her third day as she stated I feel horrible I do not remember her name.

Thought we'd get there early and celebrate my kids' bdays. Got there around 4:30 and the place was clearly not busy at all. No one in the front to greet and take you to your seats. Took about 3-5 minutes. Got seated and I discreetly asked if they do something special for bdays and told her that we're celebrating two. She smiled and said she'll take care of it. There were only four of us so it wasn't like we're keeping her busy. Got the drinks and appetizer just fine. Took a little longer for the entrees. Food was just okay...nothing special. But the service was clearly lacking when you can't even get drink/water refills. Server came around once, probably after we'd each taken a bite or two to check on us. That was the last time. We sat around a long time after we'd all finished our meals, when someone else (not our server) asked about dessert. I guess our server totally forgot about the bday celebrants. I asked for a couple of minutes to peruse the dessert menu. Kids picked out what they wanted, then our original server came around 15 minutes later. We ordered dessert (still didn't jog her memory and I didn't bother mentioning it 'coz it would take away the element of surprise) & asked for water refills. Before she could move too far away, she asked a colleague if she could get us water. The other's reply was "I've got people in the front" & turned her back. 30 minutes later, we finally got our dessert--a couple of ice cream-filled oreos served on a plate with choc/caramel drizzle. 30 minutes!!! At this point I got up to take a look around. Sure...other patrons but definitely not crowded, especially when you see 4-5 servers standing around in the soda station chatting...but no one could be bothered to give us water refills! We picked this place 'coz the kids said that out of all the places in Union Landing, we haven't gone back to this one in a while-- at least a couple of years. Now we all remember why. We always get spoiled @ Chili's & Chevy's with the fast service, so I think we'll be staying away from Friday's for at least another couple of years.

Gave this two stars because it wasn't that horrible. It was a rainy day in union city, and the boyfriend chose to eat at TGIFridays. We ate here once before. Once we walked through the door , there was no hostess to greet us and I think I said "table for 2" to a person who didnt even work there. Come to find out the hostess was sitting her ass on the customer waiting benches. Gave her a dirty look, like are you serious, this is your job. She was kind enough to recognize that and freely changed her direction to the booth section instead of the regular tables. I can't complain about our waitress, she was cute and on top of her shit. The restaurant itself was ehhh..and the bathroom was gross. Didnt even want to sit my ass on that seat. So disgusting.

***Happy hour review only*** All day happy hour on Sunday deserves a 5-star review alone, unfortunately the food was mediocre and their beer specials sucked. Our service was good. Alcoholic drinks were strong enough. Details of the review: Sunday All-day happy hour = Success in my book. We came during the World Cup Final and the bar was packed, nearly all the high tables were filled too. Our waiter was still attentive, friendly and funny. Great start! Sadly, the food was okay. Crispy green bean fries - usually these are my favorites but the ones from this restaurant was over battered and didn't have the lightness that I am used to. Nachos - Good but they held back on the chicken. It was just sprinkled on here and there. Buffalo wings - Good sauce but needs to be more crispy. The drinks were good, strong but not disgusting. We ordered a second round. But they need a better beer selection on their happy hour menu.

Typical chain restaurant. There was so many people there and the wait was so long, but the food was only so-so. My sister and I's favorite appetizer is the fried green beans. Its so unhealthy, but you can't go wrong! The dipping sauce is good too! The dishes are just normal, chain restaurant food; if you know what I mean. Not bad, but not good either.
(3)
Alex C.

Let's be honest here, the food is really subpar. That being said, I enjoy coming here after work because it's a great place to just sit down a table with your friends, order some drinks and chat while watching whatever game is on the TV. The green bean fries and Jack Daniels wings are fantastic, and most of the waitresses are friendly and attentive. The drinks vary in strength in that if you order two rum and cokes, it's entirely possible that one will be super rummy and the other will be mostly coke. If you're looking to get hammered, look elsewhere. That being said, I still like coming because of the appetizers and the drinks, and that's good enough. Manage your expectations -- the entrees are usually very subpar.

Went for happy hour with my friends and some co workers the appetizers and drinks were good only thing that kept me from giving them a higher score was the service the waitress were not attentive and were just chatting among themselves not paying that much attention to customers i had to waive my hand multiple times to get there attention and also to pay lol someone didnt get a good tip thats all i have to say.

WHY DID YOU GUYS TAKE OFF CHAMPIONSHIP NEW YORK STEAK AND ANY NEW YORK STEAK CUTS!? That was the ONLY thing I would eat here. Once those are gone, everything else is just average. This place lose track of their guests all the time. Waiting time is just crazy. They make you wait when there are many available seats. We've made a reservation for a graduation party of 20 one time and guess what? When we arrived, they said we never did. Even the phone shows we called their number but they've denied everything.

Another chain review... Sometimes I wish I lived or drove more to the city, because when you live in suburbia, you're kind of stuck with these types of restaurant chains. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Cheeseburger (with bacon) and fries. The burger is dry and not worth the $10. No hate, but I'd much rather get an Angus burger from Mcdonalds for half the price---and that includes a drink.

Erin K.

I agree with some of the other reviewers.... Horrible place. The 1 star is for the service. Waitress I had was nice, but not engaging and seemed like she didn't want to be at work. The food is disgusting. Instant mashed potatoes, stale meat and over cooked vegetables. Never coming back here again. One time was once too many.

Came here for Happy Hour...the service was great, our waiter is very patient and nice. The only thing I'm disappointed with was my Santa Fe salad, little cubes of chicken and one piece of avocado wow! never again. The three stars is for the waiter and $3 beer. Yay!

Melissa T.

This is a review for Happy Hour only. A few girl friends and I came here on a Tuesday, which is apparently Ladies' Night. Their Cosmos are $3 and strong! Their margaritas are $4. I recommend the Strawberry and not the Pomegranate (tasted nasty). The people there are super friendly and helpful. We ordered 2 orders of the Fried Greenbeans (good but probably only should have had 1), Quesadilla (not awesome), and Nachos (Chevy's is better). The drinks are good, the food is ok. I wish they had like chips or something else to munch on. I felt really fatty leaving the place. So maybe I shouldn't come here that often.

Ashley M.

I feel like every time I come here I'm gambling. I really like some of their food but I hate how inconsistent it is. Example, my fiancÃ© and I ordered the cajan chicken and shrimp pasta, which is really good (typically), but it seems like every other time we go in there it's a different recipe or something. One time it tasted AWFUL and all the waitress said when we brought it to her attention was "oh". The next time we went in it was great! I don't get it.

Angel R.

My husband and I just got back from dinner here. It was Sunday night happy hour and extremely packed, it took a long time to be served out meal and my husband's Fire Grill Chicken didn't come out looking like he expected at all, he thought the picture looked like rice with broccoli mixed in, but when his plate came out with a huge serving of broccoli I thought he was going to send it back. He decided the chicken and the rice looked fine and he started eating it instead. I ordered the Jack Daniels Rib-eye and lobster tail, it was really great! I would have given it a 4 stars minimum for my meal, but my husband was annoyed with the really long wait times and his meal.

Amy C.

My coworkers and I come here all the time because they have a good happy hour and they are open later than us. The happy hour deals are great, $3 beers, $4 sangrias, and $5 "ultimate drinks", among other deals. The appetizer deals used to be half off, now they're all $6, which, for many of their apps is only a dollar or so off the regular price. The drinks are ok, and the appetizers are the usual chain restaurant fare: wings, potato skins, mozzarella sticks, etc. Their potstickers are pretty good, but they're a little pricey. Holly always takes great care of us, when we get another server its sort of hit or miss. You kind of get the feeling that they know we work in a restaurant as well, so they know they're gonna get a good tip. Holly, however, is a total sweetheart and has always given us great service. The bar is reeeaaaally packed on most nights, so order a water along with your cocktail, because it WILL take at least 10 minutes to get your drink if you're sitting at a table on a friday night.

Diana T.

Came here on a Saturday night and the experience is horrible. Service was terrible. I understand that the restaurant was packed, but after being seated, the waitress/waiter did not approach our table for a good 15-20 minutes or so. They got our drinks, and left us there. We were sitting at the table waiting for someone to take our order, no one bothered to stop by. We kept waiting. Finally someone came and took our order, appetizers came out within 10 minutes, after we finished, no one came and cleared the table. Entrees took over 30 minutes to come out. Once the entrees came out, my colleague had requested sweet potato fries instead of french fries, they gave her french fries. After being able to get the attention of the waiter, he brought out a dinky plate of sweet potato fries. Really now? The portion of the sweet potatoes was half of the portion of the french fries. Such a disappointment. The tables near us had the same experience. The waitress/waiters were not constant, we had other waitresses and waiters from other sections of the place to serve us. By the time we left the restaurant, we spent a good an hour and a half in there. Disappointment. Will not be going here again.

I love this place for a quick dinner... quick and cheap.. seriously, this place has the best 2 for 20 special around the UC area, also for a few more bucks you can pick from the more hearty options, always a plus in my book. They make some pretty good sweet potato fries that you can get as a side with just about any meal :) no extra charge like at other places. Friendly staff, great happy hour menu, good drinks that won't brake the bank, I like this place. Oh and it is never super full, except maybe on Friday nights but at that time you should be home sleeping :)

Najla N.

I usually come to Fridays after work and order appetizers. Service is ok the staff is friendly but last time I came two of them were arguing about some personal stuff. It was unprofessional and kind of annoying trying to get their attention. Jack Daniel chicken strips is a hit for me. Cheeseburger sliders not so much. Made me sick twice. Always check for happy hour. Appetizers are half off. Don't order the steak its obviously not a steakhouse... It's dry and has no flavor. Bad experience with the entrees. Perfect place for cocktails and appetizers

Got here a little before 6 pm on a Sunday night. I was driving home to Sac when I got hungry all of a sudden and remember those TGIF commercials. Luckily there was one nearby. It looked like there was a wait, but we walked in and waited to be seated for about 30 seconds when the manager comes to the front and asks us if we had been helped. I said no and we got seated right away. I asked about happy hour and he said Sunday is happy hour specials all day long! Half off all appetizers except platters and seafood. If I wasn't headed back home I definitely would have ordered a drink. We ordered a basket of fries for $1.50, a bowl of clam chowder, garlic parmesan wings, chicken quesadilla, and nacho grande. Came out to $23! Great deal for tons of food. Our server was friendly and fast. It was really busy, but he kept checking in on us. Will be checking out our TGIF in Elk Grove soon. Hope they got the all day happy hour too. Would have given them 5 stars if their wifi signal worked in the restaurant.

This place gets pretty crowded since it's in Union Landing. I guess it's worth coming here but I'd much rather go elsewhere. I just feel that the atmosphere here isn't as great as other places like BJ's or somewhere along those lines. They card you if you're going to chill in the bar area. There's bouncers inside--that was different. The happy hour is pretty legit although I still would rather go elsewhere. I don't know, there's just something about TGIF that's really generic and I don't feel like TGIF can hold its on. The appetizers are alright, I'd prefer elsewhere. On the bright side, this can be a last resort place. Two stars because the bartender was good.

We're not regulars here, but the times we've eaten at this TGI Fridays were during the afternoon (before 4pm), and we've been pleased each time. While the mixed drinks don't need so much ice (which ones do?), everything else was solid. Hot food was hot, cold food was cold, and all of it was tasty. The servers/bussers were pleasant - even if they weren't working your table - and the hosts/hostesses were on the ball.

Sherry L.

Today I decided to torture myself by dining at TGI Friday's. Actually, I had to kill time while my car was being serviced at Pep Boy's. Why oh why did I not choose Chilli's where I could order a yummy black bean cheeseburger? I guess I wanted to try something new; well, something that I have not visited since the 1990's. It's amazing how we think a restaurant or food is so delicious when we are kids and later discover the reality of the situation. That sums up TGIF's in a nutshell. Due to the scant vegetarian options on the menu, I ordered potato skins and a basket of garlic breadsticks. I guess they removed veggie burgers from the menu several years ago because vegetarians only like salads, or so they believe. Anyway, the kitchen still managed to mess up my order and scattered bacon bits throughout. Sigh, they had to redo my order, so I munched on some generic breadsticks dipped in ranch. Olive Garden offers better garlic breadsticks for FREE. Anyway, the potato skins eventually arrive and taste horrible. Even though the menu describes the skins as "cheezy", there is barely any cheese on top. What a generic and plastic-tasting meal. The prices are also pretty expensive for chain standards even though their food is on par with Denny's. For dessert, I ordered a peanut butter pie, which honestly tasted good. However, it was so small and not worth the $5.79 price tag. It seemed half the size of a Cheesecake Factory slice. Meanwhile, the utensils seemed dirty. If I could rate this place with zero stars, I would. However, I will grant the server one star because we was nice and helpful. I cannot blame him for the poor quality of food.

Last time I went to a TGIF's a few years ago, it seemed like it had turned into an overpriced Denny's, with bland institutional quality food, so I stopped going. But last Saturday night, the date and I found ourselves in the East Bay feeling hungry for a late dinner. Where to go? We wanted something a little more substantial than the fast food places that litter 880, and it seemed all the restaurants around Union Landing were closed. Reluctantly, we settled on the TGI Fridays. It was past midnight, but the place was bustling and still serving a full menu. I had the petite sirloin with sweet potato fries and broccoli. The steak had that delicious "just off the charcoal grill" flavor, and the sides were surprisingly fresh and tasty. A plate of onion rings were done just right- crunchy and juicy. It all hit the spot. A good satisfying meal, friendly service, a festive atmosphere (ok, a bit noisy, but it was Saturday night), for around $30 for two. This place is definitely now on my short list of places to go for a late dinner

TGI Friday's is usually on the bottom of my list of chain restaurants. Food is always just mediocre and is certainly not worth it's price. With that said, the Union City location makes me dislike the restaurant even more. Service and atmosphere is always lacking, borderline of ghetto. It gets way crowded and it's definitely a place where you'll run into people if you're a local. I'll ususally try to avoid the place by all means, but when I do come here, it's for the drinks during happy hour. Pros: - Cheap Happy Hour drinks and food - Patio seating Cons: - Way crowded - Hard to find parking sometimes Recommendations: - Come if you like happy hour drinks, and loud music banging.

Dear Yelp Journal, After completing a 10K race in Santa Cruz in the morning, for lunch I traveled to the East Bay to visit my cousin, and we opted to go here for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised to see that each food had its caloric value in parentheses next to its title. I chose the Dragonfire Chicken -Under 500 calories! I must comment the meal's picture and the actual food were spot on. I enjoyed the meal presentation and the quality and quantity on the plate was filling and flavorful. I was not left feeling hungry or under-satisfied . The chicken was grilled and moist throughout, and the pineapple pico de gallo was a sweet addition to the dish. The rice was light and fluffy and complimented the complete dish. The service was good, however, the lighting in the restaurant kept flickering on and off, and seemed too dim for my dining tastes. Overall, I enjoyed the meal itself.

Service was Slooooow. The Server tossed the menu's at us and while were trying to conduct a semi-unformal business meeting, we had to continue to yell across the table because they were singing that annoyingly creep "HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY" song over and over and over... Dude, there was only like 10 people there eating..wtf? Were they practicing? OMG... Food was alriiiight. Soup was kinda salty and the ciabatta bread seemed a bit stale.

I went to lunch here a few days ago and all I can say is meh... The food we ordered was ok. I liked the food better at the TGIF I went to in Campbell...more lively and open crowd when I went. The place was just lame and quiet. My cheeseburger was WAY too salty. gross. and the cups...i never bug about plastic cups but theirs were gross.

This was a pretty good dinner for a Friday after a bummer week... Positives: *Call ahead and get on a waiting list *Petite sirloin w/ 5 cheese mac & cheese was pretty darn good *Kid menu items were tasty *Good place to watch *interesting* people *Music Negatives: *Music was really loud *Parking was SWAPED *Our GPS couldn't find it *Their kid menu/color mat doesn't have enough white space on it

We came to TGIF's to relax and have a few drinks before a movie. We literally sat at a table and waited for 20 minutes before we gave up and went to the bar to order our drinks. The bartenders were inattentive, and I had to actually scream out at them to get their attention. Finally, when we did get a servers attention at our table, she was clearly very annoyed with us and was actually kind of rude. When we got our food we did not have silverware and had to actually hunt someone down to get us some. This was perhaps the worst restaraunt experience I have ever had. I will never be going back to this Friday's again.

I always tell my wife we will never go back to this place because of mediocre food and poor service. I broke my promise and went there tonight--first time in about a year and 10th time in 10 years. Same dated, boring looking interior with all the crap hanging on the walls. When are they going to update this place? The TV's are circa early 1990's and have blurry pictures. Spring on a dozen big screen LCD's, guys!! We had to wait for 10 minutes for a table, even though the place was 2/3rds filled at 5p on this Friday. Not enough servers probably. Got seated at our booth, which was very plush and comfy, but the table was very icky sticky. Strawberry milkshake for the wife was lame. Tasted like powdered strawberry milk. Just sent it back and got a soda instead. Potato skins were good but not enough sour cream. Small sirloin steak was bland and the Mac & Cheese was crap. Chicken w/strawberries salad was the best part of the meal. The 40-something waitress was out of it and had the bill wrong and was blaming another worker for it. "I knew he wouldn't take the shake off." Well if you knew that, why didn't you take care of it yourself? So this place hasn't changed on the bad service and mediocre food. I swear I won't ever come back here again...until next year I guess.

Happy Hour at the bar only if you must because of the half-price appetizers ,otherwise this place feels kind of dirty or sticky. The food is not great, the service was mediocre, I would say don't go here at all but the happy hour deal could prove otherwise.

In the same genre of bland, suburban strip mall fare, TGIFriday's is no better than their competitor (Chili's) at Union Landing. I recently came back because I got a couple of coupons in the mail for buy one entree, get one entree free. Prior to that, I was on a TGIFriday boycott because their food and service sucked so bad. (Seriously, I think the last time I came here was about 2 years ago!) So I went with two other moms and their strollers and this last time was terrific. We had a server with a kick-ass name - LaLa - who was attentive, genuinely nice, and had great timing. We split the Jack Daniel's appetizer combo, the Jack Daniel's ribs, some chicken melt dish, and the green bean fries. The appetizer combo was actually pretty good. The sauce made everything taste great, though the deep-fried shrimp was a bit cold. The ribs were ok - a bit charred but again, the dipping sauce made it ok. The chicken cheese melt dish seemed to be pretty good, though I only got a couple bites of it. Finally, the green bean fries were their usual consistently good. Time before last was a semi-disaster. Our server was an older woman who basically disappeared between seating us, taking our order, and giving us our food. I felt sorry for the server in the adjacent section because we ended up asking her for everything. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich which was AWFUL. Charred meat and nothing else. The best part was during the bill - we had to ask the other server for it and our server couldn't figure out how to chop it on three credit cards. (WTH??? There's a button that automatically divides it for you!!!) So she ended up jacking our charges but we didn't want her to have to run everything again and screw up once more so we just whipped out our calculator and figured it out ourselves. Awful. Given a choice, I don't think I would choose to come back to TGIFriday's on my own. In the meantime, those coupons save me some money so I guess I'll just settle for some mediocre food and service. *sigh* What has my food life come to???

So so shabby. Tables are super sticky, and the waitress that brought out that apple/ice cream heap put on a fake show of "MmMMm.. it looks soooo gooood!"---it wasn't. You wouldn't eat ice cream with hot apple sauce sloshing around a skillet would you? You would?? You're disgusting.

Katie F.

So I only go here cuz its close and the food is good. Its usually REALLY crowded. Sometimes they give out coupons which is pretty cool. I like that. -1 star for expensive drinks -1 star for NEVER asking for my ID. (anyone could buy drinks then, and I JUST turned 21. I dont look THAT old.) the servers are always pretty nice and get you what you need and check up on you alot. there was this one guy who was a D**K but thats another story. this is a good place for late night deserts. but dont get the brownie obession its TOO small. get the strawberry shortcake. thats the best value.

I used to come here ALL the time. That is until they decided to turn this one into a bar instead of a restaurant. Yeah who wants to take their kids out to dinner with a ghetto bar inside the restaurant? Not me. Hopefully their bar makes them more business then when it used to be a kid friendly restaurant.

I like TGI Fridays food.. not the best, but it isn't the worst either. But that's not the reason for this review. If you ever decide to own a restaurant and you want to see how a waiter/waitress gives bad service or underperforms, this is the place to go. This isn't just one occurrence either. Whether it be missing my meal, a fork that I was asking for 20 minutes ago, burning my chicken and saying that's "normal", waiters waiting on the bar customers more than your booth, never having your drinks refilled unless asked, etc. This place is not the place to go. And it's only this TGI Fridays I have issues with.

With all the restaurants in the Union Landing mall, you'd think the competition would make restaurants step up. Not so, apparently. I ordered two meals "to go" (chicken picata pasta). The person taking the phone order seemed to have better things to do -- and had to ask more than once what I wanted. She repeated it back, finally, --and hung up. No reference (like name or phone number), no estimate of when the order would be ready -- just hung up! I immediately got in my car and went to pick up the order. After being asked to wait when I told her I had called in my order (and she asked what I had ordered), the young woman came back after a while and told me they didn't have it. Apparently, it was a "new item" on the menu (I had looked at the menu on-line) and they didn't "stock" yet. Come on, people. First of all, Friday's needs to get their act together. Second of all, Friday's needs to make sure their people are trained so they know what's on the menu and what's not. I should have been told on the phone that they didn't have that dish. But probably MOST important, their people should be trained to act a little more professionally. Hanging up on customers without so much as a good-bye isn't very hospitable at all -- isn't that what the restaurant business is about? Final result: I said, "Never mind..." and went and ordered take-out from Applebee's. At least the server there was pleasant and seemed to know what I was talking about when I ordered!

Happy hour is awesome and that's about it. Ordered two margaritas last Friday night and knocked out like Ricky Hatton. For five bucks a pop and gas prices rising, this is a steal. The cheese burger sliders weren't good. Better off buying white castles from Target and serving them here. My mac and cheese with grilled chicken that won the ultimate recipe showdown was a disgrace. How the heck did that get on the menu? On a sweeter note, I liked my sweet potato fries. They were crispy, little bit sweet--just right. For dessert, we debated on whether or not to get red velvet cake a la mode. We went back and forth and finally decided to order it here. Tasted ok, seemed like it was old, it wasn't moist. The waiter came up to us and stated that this was his favorite dessert. I laughed and thought to myself this is the worst red velvet I ever had. Next time I'm just coming for drinks and the game.

I have been to TGI Friday's several times and have enjoyed it very much. It is similar to Chili's (a little on the higher end though), Texas Roadhouse, and Tony Romas as far as food, service, and affordability. Last night was an anomaly as we waiting 1.5 hours from the time we ordered, to the time we received our meals. Although the waitress was honest about her mistake (she had apparently forgotten to put in the main order after the initial appetizer and drink order was processed), we continued to wait nearly 25 minutes. Not 5 minutes after telling the manager to forget the food and to just give me a bill for the drinks and appetizers, we received our food. I was impressed that as soon as the food was delivered, the manager came over and comped us for everything but the drinks. I wished I had gotten his name as I would have called the TGI Fridays corporate office to tell them that this is how business should operate. Mistakes will be made - but you can make up for them if you are honest and are willing to take the hit for the long-term gain. Because of this managers and waitresses honesty and free meal, I definitely will be back. TGI Friday is a decent operation overall and the food is on par with the mid-end restaurants in the UC Mall area.

After a traumatic experience at TGIFridays in pleasanton, I vowed to never eat here again, but low and behold, as the facebook-woody-free burger promotion came into play, I was back on the horse. And good thing because the food was deeelicious! As the promotion goes, you add Woody on facebook and if enough people add him then everyone gets a coupon for a free burger. I'm not really much of a burger person, but free is free. We got there and I half expected the waitress to roll her eyes and avoid us for most of the meal, but she was attentive and friendly the entire time. We also ordered a cup of soup and a soda and a beer. The clam chowder was amazing. It was one of the best I've had to be honest. The burger was nothing short of spectacular, it was savory and yummy and so much better than I had ever dreamed it could be. If it had not been for this burger, then I never would have come here, and now I'm hooked. I will probably be here again and again. My only complaint bringing it from 5 stars to 4 stars is the family at the table next to us, The had a child with a portable dvd player and we could clearly hear the dvd playing. This stupid mom and dad think they are in their own living room! It was so obnoxious. Other than that it was awesome. I only wish we'd saved room for dessert.

0 stars. Cold dinners, 2 hour mealtime for basic dishes, my 94 yr old grandma said it was the worst dining experience she's ever had in her life. Waitress was mean, manager apologized then left us waiting for 20 more minutes! Utter nightmare and we went hungry! Horribly run Do Not Eat Here you will be sorry.

This review is strictly on some of their food, service, and on TUESDAY's LADIES NIGHT HH. First of all, I did not know that Tuesdays were Happy Hour all night for the ladies... on top of their regular happy hour times. Most of the appetizers are $6 and their "ultimate" drinks are $5 - I tend to get margaritas and mojitos... both relatively good and worth the amount. Food - if you order a sandwich or burger and like your side to be hefty... do not get the side salad, it's pretty tiny and not worth it. The California sandwich itself was pretty good, but would have preferred more turkey over the amount of ham that was in it. The Jack Daniels chicken appetizer is pretty good too for an app. I've also had the sizzling chicken and cheese entree which is really good! - I'm also a big cheese fan so I can't complain when something savory has cheese on it. It comes with 2 chicken breasts with some mixed in grilled bell peppers and onions plus 2 scoops of mashed potatoes. I managed to finish half of the entree. Service - the service is inconsistent, but it's almost as if the service in the bar area is MUCH BETTER than if you're sitting in the regular dining area. The servers and bartenders are just more personable so it's easier to get what you want from them. When we eat in the regular dining area, the server messed up our order, triple charged us for our food, and did NOT attempt to apologize for it. One time, my friend ordered a chicken entree and she mistook it for a chicken and shrimp entree.. we brought it to her attention in a very chill manner and she told my friend to "scoop off the shrimp onto the side dish plate" and that she would bring out the chicken on another side dish plate - WTH?! That was extremely unprofessional and, not to mention, TACKY. I mean, I know this isn't a fancy restaurant, but sheesh. This is completely different in the bar area - we are always checked on, asked if we need anything else, etc. - and, no, this has nothing to do with drinks consumed. My advice - sit at the bar!

When a friend says, "Lets go to TGI Friday's"... just say no. I've never had a meal here, that was even close to being good. Horrible service, super slow, getting my orders wrong, bringing me cold food, and all around being a lousy. The food? I've eaten with friends in the past, and got to the point where I refuse to eat here. When it is suggested, I literally refuse to go. I tell my friends to call me later, because I don't want to waste my money on a horrible dining experience. I COULD go along just to hang out, but then I'd be wasting my TIME, and as we all know, time IS money. I even had a friend who was a manager here, and with discounts and free drinks and food, I still refuse to eat here. Steer clear of this establishment at all costs, especially with so many other places to eat at so nearby.

From the moment we walked in til' the moment we left, it was completely and utterly AWFUL. The wait was forever but that didn't bother me as much as the space in the restaurant. The waiting area is honestly the size of my hand! There was no room to sit or stand. Everyone was everywhere. The hostess was in the worse location, we could barely even find them. FINALLY after waiting for forever. They finally sat us down. We sat in a booth next to the bar. This booth was located in front of the door. So the whole time we were experience the wind blowing in our direction. It was a really cold night too might I mention. Trying to disregard this awful seating and wind, we looked over the menu. Now, I've been to TGI fridays a few times. I've never been satisfied but this time was the worse. The menu LOOKS like it has tasty entrees to offer all at a great price ($7-13). YEAH RIGHT. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan over penne pasta. It was pretty awful. I got like 20 pieces of penne pasta (no lie) and over fried greasy chicken. DISGUSTING. The other entrees my friends got were pepper crusted porkchop or something with mash potatoes and onion rings. They got ONE porkchop, two small scoops of mash potatoes (it tasted like the ones from the powder mix), and 3 onion rings. YES, THREE PIECES. Our server was OKAY. She was nice but didn't refill my water at all. Not even once. She was quite slow. The only thing that was good was the AMF. Adios TGI Fridays. NEVER coming back. NEVER. So, overall..the service was whack, the food portions were small and the quality was nasty. OH YEAH, and the music selection was TERRIBLE. Better off listening to the radio. ..I rather eat McDonalds then eat here.

Well I obviously did not read the reviews before coming here, otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered coming. We ordered the cheeseburger sliders, which were ok. We also ordered the Jack Daniel's burgers, very well done, no pink, and they came out like a lump of coal. Our buns were toasted, and obviously kind of old because they were hard. Mango Margarita didn't taste like alcohol at all, BUT the worst part of this is the HORRIBLE service. Our food took forever, it was gross, and the waiter hardly came to our table. We saw him high fiving his friends, we saw him on his cell texting someone, we saw him walking around goofing off with his fellow waiters. He was doing all except serving his tables. We waited for the check for so long, when he brought it out they charged us the appetizer twice. It was pretty dead in here. Bad food plus Horrible service = Not coming back.

I would go 3.5 , maybe 4 stars because the happy hour kicks ass. $3 for a 20 ounch beer on tap, with a great selection, $3 glass of wine and half off apps..The only reason that this place gets a lower rating from others is beacuse it attracts a bad clientele after 6...But if you get in and get out for the happy hour, you wont be disappointed..Great value..Best happy hour in the east bay

We came here for last minute drink. It was crazy cuz the security cards only the people they want to card. We sat at the bar it was pretty tight since they had that dumb ass poker machine there! The drinks were ok. We wanted air so we went outside, the heaters weren't even on! Ugggg! Anyways thank goodness the drinks weren't watered down or else they would have received 2 starts.

I usually like this place except for last night. It was friday and busy probably because there was nothing else open late. Our waitress was slow and kept forgetting things. ie. utensils, ketchup, napkins, straws, drinks.But she did give us our check real quick. She came to our table and said sorry I forgot to put in your drink orders, I was caught up with some of my high school friends.....Seriously the guys who were flirting with her and her annoying voice got their drinks quick. Sorry that was mean but she needs to learn how to not get side tracked.

First off, TGIF puts all the nutrition info on the menu. So when you're watching your caloric and fat intake, that's a bit of a buzz kill. After all, knowing that you're getting ready to eat two days worth of calories isn't how I like to start a meal. It was hella crowded so the food was tasty and fresh. I had the sizzling chicken and shrimp and hubby had baby back ribs. We waited about 30 mins. for a table because we went on Valentine's Eve. The margaritas were on hit except for they had a bit too much ice in them. Our waiter was pretty good and when he went on break, his replacement was REALLY on the ball. We ended up tipping him $7 and tipping her $5. Overall the experience was pretty good. I would go back.

Went here after a party at iFly around the corner. 2 adults, 7 teenagers. Waitress was friendly and responsive, and the food was OK. It didn't all come out together, which made some cold and others overdone. My biggest complaint...they're too nice...to the point of nausea. Look...it's OK if you want to open the door and great me, but then the person right behind you did the same thing...then the person right behind her. Then the waitress...then the manager...then the hostess again. Give me a break. I must have been there right after "politeness training" or something, but they apparently forgot the part about "everything in moderation."

This has got to be the wrost resturant ever!!! The service sucks!! I worked in a resurant before and I was trained to introduce yourself, our server never did that. The food was not cooked the way we asked and all the high chairs had broken set locks on them!! This place is the worst ever!! Do not eat here you will regret it!!

Seriously had terrible service here last night. A friend and I came here last night to watch game 1 of the world series (go giants!!) So we sat at the bar where most of the tvs were. We sat there for about 15 minutes and still not 1 person had said anything to us. I finally asked someone if we could order and they didn't help us for another 10 minutes. When we finally ordered our drinks I wasn't pleased at all. I ordered a blended strawberry margarita with sugar instead of salt it seriously tasted like not 1 drop of alcohol was in there. My second one was the same. After being here for about 3 hours I talked to 2 different servers. Seems like this always happens when I come here.

I like TGI Fridays because its a cheap place to get drunk, espeically during their happy hours. They currently have a promotion where its unlimited long island ice teas and margaritas for 5 dollars. So i came here today with my boyfriend and his two sisters. We were seated 20 minutes later and our waitress was nice. We ordered our drinks and food and everything is okay. Then when our food comes out, I wanted another thing of sour cream for my potato skins because the small ass cup that they gave us was surely not enough. So she happily brings us another and yea, we start eating. My bf had the Jack Daniels ribs and steak and it was okay. It was a little salty for me but my boyfriend lovessss salty food so he wasnt complaining. Then the bill comes, everything looks right except they charged us for FREAKIN SOUR CREAM!!! WHAT THE DU MA?! ITS SOUR CREAM, JUST GIVE IT TO US FOR FREE!!! It's not the .59 cent charge that im mad about, its the fact that they would charge us .59 cents without saying anything because its just SOUR CREAM!! Like 1 tablespoon of it. I think the next time i come back, will only be for margaritas and long island ice teas.

I've had TGIF back in Arizona and really dont remember how it was. We decided to try something different tonight so we gave it a try. There was about a 5 minute wait for a Saturday night which wasnt bad. Our server Mindy was very nice and friendly. She got our drink orders in right away as we sat down and then proceeded to take our orders but since we weren't ready she came back in a enough time for us not to wait. She also refilled our drinks without having to ask. I ordered the chicken and shrimp griddle thing which was hella bomb but the griddle thing was too hot so my food wasn't cooling down to eat i kept burning myself. I must say that their broccoli and cheese soup was really delicious. I also ordered garlic breadsticks but they were good. It just tasted like plain bread and the bottom breadsticks were all soggy and wet from either water still in the bowl it came in or some liquid spilled in it. So when I took a bite into it it tasted like soup or chemically. I also tried some of the jack daniels chicken which was very flavorful. Prices were a little expensive.

I went to this TGI Friday's a couple of weeks ago with some friends. I had been to other ones over the years and don't recall a really bad experience. About two years ago I became a vegetarian. Most restaurants have a minimal selection of vegetarian dishes. I don't mean order a meaty dish, without the meat. That defeats the purpose for a humane-focused vegetarian. I do not want them showing selling a meat dish. I want to show them selling a vegetarian dish....if they had any...which to my (and my non-vegetarian friends) amazement, they did not! How does a restaurant, in this day and age not have a single vegetarian main course, not even a veggie burger patty? The Mac n' Cheese even had meat. C'mon!!! How frikken' crazy! With more and more people becoming vegetarians and vegans all the time, for humane and health reasons, how could they not have options for them? When I asked the waitress what vegetarian options they had, she actually said (with a smile...) "We don't have any". Uhh??!??!?!? I will say that the chef did make me a nice veggie quesadilla, which I only was able to get after a rather painful conversation with the non-helpful waitress. I will not go to any TGI Friday's until they have changed their menu. What crap!

I will never goto this place again! The environment seems a bit unsafe to be at. Lots of people wondering in and out and you're wondering "WTF! Did that guy just take some food off my table?!". We had a table of 7, the waitress was ok, food wasn't great, I am not a great cook, but I could honestly cook tons better than the dog food I was served, and the music was too loud to even hear your own neighbor. It was like a sleezy club -- with the crappy food, drinks and occasional drunk guy/girl walking past you.

I use to go here for happy hour. The happy hour prices are good but Chevy's is even better. The bar area is big, the food isn't the best and the service sucks all the time. Go here and get a beer or two and go eat somewhere else. Most of the time there is a crowd here during happy hour. They try to run promotions but be sure to read the fine print but it's not clear cut.

TGI Friday's are usually all the same. Mediocre menu, mediocre food, and ok drinks. The only reason we continually come here is for the late night happy hour from 10pm - 2am. The security guards have come to known my friends and I. We always enjoy ourselves, BUT that's mainly because of the company. They recently changed it, so there is no smoking allowed on the patio anymore which is a bummer, because we always sit outside so that the smokers can smoke without having to leave the table.

This particular Fridays has horrible customer service. If you go when its busy they rush you and the food is not good. Watered down drinks

I hate this TGI chain restaurant, I waited some 20 minutes just standing there at 12am on a Weds night trying to get my grub on because Union City sucks for not having any other late night eatery besides IHOP and Denny's. We tried to get their attention, but stood there looking like dumb@sses, like WTF? They saw us, but ignored us, Me and Christian B. were like, "fuck this joint". We ended up in Milpitas and the Chinese cafe treated us better than those a-holes!! plus, they opened til' 3am. Having five years of experience in the restaurant/customer service business I say fire those @ssholes.

Friends have told us TGI Friday's is not a place to order meals, they were right - we found out the hard way. My meal tasted like it was not prepared fresh, but just warmed up from who knows when. I had the fish and chips ... the fries were soft and wiggly, and the batter-fried fish was not crunchy. My friend had the garlic chicken primavera which he said was good although the chicken portion was a little small. He asked for "no zucchini" in his order and was told "there's no zucchini in the house" ... so...guess what? his plate arrived with sliced zucchini mixed throughout his plate, so he spent all his time picking them out. I love zucchini so I ate them, but that's not the point. When you ask for something to not be on your plate, they ought to honor that. Suppose you're allergic to it or something. The Margaritas were good, I started off with their new Ultimate Pomegranite Margarita which was not very tasty. My second Margarita was a strawberry one which was delicious and I should have gotten that in the first place. The best part of the evening were the drinks and appetizers ... we had the "green bean fries" and the Parmesan Quesadillas - very good - but the overall experience just leaves me with just 2 stars.

TG[It's not] Friday's! That's what I thought this afternoon at lunch... Yesterday my friend and I went to TGI Friday's. Neither of us had ever been, and thinking it was a safe enough bet, we ventured inside. The service was quick, if not a little annoying. When we say we're newbies and need some time, don't come back one minute later. sheesh! As for the food, my chicken parm pasta was total crap. It tasted totally bland and the crumb coating on the chicken was completely soggy, even though the whole dish was piping hot. Ick. My friend got the Cobb salad. Eh, it's pretty difficult to screw up that one, so I suppose it sufficed. Their beer on tap selection is superb, which I took advantage of by ordering a Guinness. I wouldn't order anything besides appetizers (we had the parm-crusted quesidilla, which was pretty good) and drinks. If you want a good meal, go elsewhere.

Food prices are ehhh a little over priced. Service is hit an miss. Sometimes you get a good waiter sometimes you don't. The drinks are also hit and miss sometimes plenty of alcohol sometimes just a splash. But it's a decent place to bring a group of friends.

booooooooooooooooooooooo. ok i put in my dues and worked at the san bruno store for over a year and after 2 years without any jd glaze in my life i figured it was time. we went in tonight and the first table we sat at was infested with fruit flies. awesome so then we go to the next table and i have no clue who our server is. our food arrives and it meh. i guess im used to the old kitchen guys making master pieces with the fryer. the bill was almost $70 and i think this was the first time since i became a waitress that i didn'tt leave 20%. i doubt we will be back.

I was never really impressed with this place as a chain. Out of pure boredom and going to the same restaurants all the time, we went there the other night. I must say I was impressed. They have changed the menu and have some real yummy things on here. I am sure it is not all the best for you fried/ Jack Daniels sauces/ creamy mashed potatoes etc.... but it sure is good The service we had the other nite was really good too. Would I go here on a weekly basis? no Would I go back again...definitely.

The great thing about chain restaurants is that they provide consistency. You know you will be able to get some appetizers, and fun drinks and catch up with an old friend. And maybe get hit on by an old man.....Wait....that doesn't happen to everybody? Oh well, back to the main review. Since the food here was no surprise, the review is for the service mainly. We had crap-tastic service. It was hit or miss. At one point we waited about 15 minutes for a drink......That's just not ok. When the check came we didn't initially realize they had overcharged us for a drink. After they ran a credit card we realized it, and refused to sign the slip until they adjusted it. Welllllllll, eventually they came back to the table and said they weren't able to void it, they had to give us a cash refund. That seems like BS to me. And they made no effort to make any accommodations for the overcharge. This is NOT good customer service.

Some friends and I went there last Sunday. We didn't have reservations and there was a line for a wait but we were seated rather quickly. We started with potato skins and some drinks. I had a strawberry-mango margarita. My goodness the drink was AWESOME! I ended up ordering a California Veggie Burger, with some avocado to go with it. One of my friends also ordered a burger but she went for the sweet potato fries (apparently they were not what she expected. It seemed like they had been fried and refried or something.) Our meal was alright, the music was nice as well though slightly loud. I understand that it's loud so that those waiting outside to be seated can also listen; however, why not have it slightly lower? It was a big hard to have a conversation because the music was really loud. IAs for customer service, it could improve. Don't get me wrong now, some of the people that work there were pretty nice, but then again the waiter we had was a little off. He would forget some of the things we had ordered. I think I would go back again but not anytime soon.

I haven't been here in a few months and the menu doesn't really appeal to me anymore. The menu seems to just rehash the same thing but add jack daniels sauce to it and then bam!, its a new item. Today for lunch I had parmesan crusted chicken and a cup of french onion soup. The soup was decent. I'm glad it wasn't salt in a bowl like some other places. The chicken was average and so was the tortellini pasta that came with it. I didn't really care for the tomato salad? side thing that came with it. It was served cold with cheese balls, onions and cherry tomatoes i think. Next time I'm just going to stick my usual whenever I go to a chain restaurant.... chicken nuggets.

Went here with a friend on a Saturday game night. First off it was happy hour and bartender did not tell me until after I ordered a top shelf margarita :/ which was to sour. There was people behind us SCREAMING at the football game going on very annoying! Bartender was friendly and good service. Got a burger and my friend had spinach dip food was par. They had 4$ long islands for happy hour which was delicious!

abby l.

we were here on a really busy friday; it was hard to find parking. but we were seated within 10 minutes, our waitress got our drinks right away, and we didn't even wait 15 minutes for the actual food to arrive. our waitress candice was so sweet and genuine! i'd hate to be alive if i was working here at this time of day but she was sweet and took care of us. we also did the 2-people-3-courses deal for $20. ok, so it's $20...i'm not expecting anything fancy. and it wasn't...it was all meat and cheese, no veggies at all. i guess that's how they keep the prices low. but who cares...people come here for cheap drinks ($4 beers, $5 margaritas!) and greasy onion rings, and they meet these expectations.

John D.

I went there last weekend and I would say they have degraded their service in last one year. The staff is polite and welcomed us. But it seems either our server was new or careless. Our food arrived 40 mins after we placed the order. They forgot to bring one dish. I asked for extra napkin and the server forgot. I had to remind him twice. Overall, its not worth it if you have special occasion.

where better to celebrate jesus birthday than TGIs?... and u call yourself.. *humph nah jus joke.. pounded couple cups of jonny walker at the hotel before heading over to TGI to get a head start on my buzz all 3 nights to watch Lakers toy wit GS and Seattle demolish the 49ers. had to say for a family environment restaurant, was getting loud in there for the sad face bay area fans. food was good and everybody was in good spirits, no sissy boys trying to start shet, and plenty oppertunties to holler at the hollerable... had the lobster tails drowned in butter and steak w/ lobster sauce. was very filling. i like the vegis and would reccommend opting for the sweet potato fries, and avoiding the cheesy. they offer a full bar with couple pages of mixed drinks, and wines, but mostly had beer. wait staff was able to customize my order. was a pleasant evening. applebees only stay right there but wasn't as crowded. TGIs was worth the wait.

I used to hate Friday's food. Then some years ago they changed the menu or something and I started to like it. So we hit up this place on a Sunday afternoon....They weren't all that busy...we were told 5-10 minutes for a booth. Well they didn't have a list at the time and the host that we originally talked to was off somewhere so another guy came to seat people and of course he skipped over us. When i got his attention to this he found a table for us right away. I was highly disappointed with everything except my Pina Colada and our appetizers. I had the Cajun chick and Shrimp pasta. The sauce was supposed to be alfredo so a little think. Well mine was runny and just didn't look very appetizing. I ate what i could stand but gave up pretty quickly. Jenn C barely touched hers. So I'm back to not liking their food and I think we've resolved to only order appetizers and drinks from here on out.

Kim R.

Their food is way toO salty period. The only thing I like here is the alcohol and their Jack Daniel sauce that comes with those steak/salmon combo meals. Also if your table is near the front window on the bar side the service is real slow. The only reason why this place gets more business than the other chains is because its open late. TGI Last Resort

If there wasn't a TGI Fridays sign outside, and if they hadn't been serving food, I would've mistaken this place for an 18+ club. The music was blastin', which was actually a good thing because, after all, it was a Saturday night, aka party-time. Oh and they played everything from Tupac to Green Day to one of my faves, Linkin Park. AND, I got to enjoy three helpings to my ultimate most favoritest (not a word, I know) alcoholic beverage in the WWW (whole wide world)....Ultimate Mango Mai Tai! Oh and the hot fudge sundae..."off tha heezeeeeee!"

Michelle D.

Yes I am a fan of good ole' Fridays in Union City. I, and all of my friends have been going here since 2006. This place is cool for the most part. The bartenders are friendly and actually know us all by our first names. I guess it's b/c we've been there sooo many times. HA. Anyhoo, the food is usually decent - I've never had any problems, AND the drinks are always on point. This is a cool spot to go if you: are meeting friends, are looking for somewhere to eat for lunch, just got off of work, need a drink after class, or had a bad week. YAY for Fridays :)

A good place to have a shitty overpriced drink before you see a movie at Century 25. Another crappy TGI Fridays. just like McDonalds...they are all the same. crap. Good place to run into someone you want to have sex with more than the person you are on a date with. lol end of story. 3 stars becuz it is what it is.

Joon Y.

I love their jack daniels steak and shrimp. The service here is so so and could use some improvements, and the lighting is too dim. I come here with some biker friends once in awhile, and they let us park on the curbside without giving us a hassle. Not too shabby for a chain restaurant.

it's a fridays..... i'm just reviewing because we walked in today and they had frikken white girls by e40 blastin.. thought it was an interesting song to be playing. Oh.. actually i DID try the new buffalo chicken sandwich and i'm coo... nothing special about it besides the fact they skimped on my fries.

Jennifer R.

Went here on a Tuesday afternoon for a late lunch. We ordered drinks and appetizers........ it took a while to get our drinks and they werent even that busy... The food was alright. We had the potato skins for appetizer and the crispy chicken california club. The chicken sandwich was proboly the highlight of the meal. The server wasnt all that great either. We kept on having to repeat ourselves to her, she must not hear well. Could you imagine if they were busy and the place got any louder she wouldnt be able to hear crap.?! Well there are other Fridays out there.. maybe it was the time of day.

Leigh N.

I come here only because I'm addicted to the green bean fries and their specialty cocktails. If not for those 2 things I would not be able to stand this place. Service is really, really, really slow and none of the workers are especially friendly. Last time I was here for lunch it was midweek at about 12:30 and fairly empty. Our server took our drink and green bean order first while we looked over the menu. It took over 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive and the green beans didn't make an appearance until after all the other stuff we ordered was served. If we didn't ask what happend to them I'm positive we wouldn't have gotten them at all.

Dee H.

The food is marginal, and they have an inconsistent pet policy (and from reading the other reviews, obviously this isn't the only thing they are inconsistent about...). Anyhow, the first time we went there, they were more than willing to sit us in the patio with our dog, who sat quietly under the table the whole time. We had a good experience with the service. When we went there again, we were told dogs were not allowed in the patio. We had specifically made our way to Friday's because we were with our dog that day, and they changed their policy on us. In fact the person at the door did not know the answer about whether they allowed dogs, and went to ask his manager. I saw her hesitate when he asked her, then she decided that the answer was no. I guess they do not follow any standards or consistent training practices. Well, 2 stars for the first good experience, and no further stars as after the inconvenience they caused us, I'm never going back again.

Yesterday was the first time I visited Fridays. In the past, the waits would be so long so we'll just skip and go somewhere else nearby. So my boyfriend decided to go there since I've never been there before. We went early hoping to skip the crowd. So when we go in, got sitted right away and ordered the 3 course meal. I ordered the house salad, Chicken Bruschetta Chicken Pasta, and the oreo cake. The house salad was alright, they put too much cheese in it though. Halfway into eating the salad, the pasta came out. Right when it came out I wasn't please already. The plating presentation was off and it didn't even too appetizing. Had my first bite into the pasta and the texture of the angel pasta was soo gooey. It was wayy over cooked and just really nasty. The sauce, well I don't know how to describe it, but it was not good at all. Then the desserts came and the cake I liked. Overall, the food here is gross and wasn't worth what I paid for. The only reason I gave this place two stars is because I received great service and the dessert was good. This is definitely not a place I would go back to.

I've been going to TGIF afterwork for years now and its a great atomosphere to meet with friends. The food is good (not Great) but I've had a few dishes I ended up ordering a second time. The Bartenders are friendly and attentive. Funny to say but we are on first name basis. Also the regulars are so great and friendly, they too call me by first name when I sit up at the bar. It's nice.

The food is always pretty good here. Service on the other hand.. not so much!..Our waiter seemed kinda spaced out when we were ordering. Table was sticky when we sat down. and they told us 10 mins when we got there, it was about 20.. granted, it was expect since they seemed busy, but they could have been a lil more precise, be honest with the customer instead of tryin to keep them by lying, they'll appreciate the honesty instead of being disappointed.. probably will come back, because again, it's convienently close.

Considering the price i paid (i understand this is a chain rest). The food was not good, portion - aveage and slow service. Not sure why ppl wait for this place. I'll never go back again. Over priced and ....food.

Breanna M.

Went here for lunch today. The host didn't seem to be too thrilled to be at work when she greeted us as we walked in. We sat in the bar area for happy hour. There wasn't much table selection though, not because they were busy but because all the tables were dirty. The only table open was a big six seater and I felt weird sitting at such a big table but we did anyway. We waited a few mins before anyone even brought us a menu. The waitress was pretty slow and quiet. The main reason I wanted to sit in the bar area was because of the good prices they have on tap beer. But come to find out they were out of Heff, Blue Moon, and Stella. The biggest bummer ever. I got a Bud Light instead, was a big let down. The food was great, it never seems to let me down. Anything on the Jack Daniels menu is excellent. At the end of the meal I ordered a Sam Adams, which I wasn't pleased with but I had ordered it just to try.

jen t.

Woo Hoo!! The $4 margarita was wonderful, my pasta plate was hot and yummy and the wait person was super friendly and helpful. This is a great place to sit and talk with friends when you need to get away for a few hours to relax. It's a great atmosphere and you can see a movie after if you want! Bonus!
(4)
Jonathan C.

the Friday's bar is always cracking! great atmosphere, especially nights. it gets packed on the weekends. any time theres an important game one TV they usually play all around the restaurant. last time I went I noticed the recently added a digital jukebox. 25cents a song. as far as the menu: I always recommend the Cheesy Bacon Cheeseburger with avocado and Jack Daniels sauce on the side. All there burgers are delicious, as well their boneless kung-pow wings. Hit up the Fridays bar on a "friday" night and watch see for yourself! Tip your bartenders/severs!!!
(3)
John B.

Been here twice and both times someone in my party have found bugs in what they were having. WTF!!! First a fly in my cousins mixed drink and now an ant in the shrimp cocktail. A person in the kitchen tried to tell us in was probably the vein in the shrimp, the dam thing was crawling and had six legs. I'm pretty sure it was an ant. Besides the unwanted protein in the food and drinks the food here is alright. I'm never going to another TGI Fridays again.

anonymous i.

i used to come here a lot in the past.. but i finally had the time to drop by here again after i think a year lol.. originally we wanted to sit by the bar.. since it was a saturday.. and we wanted to get some drinks..but man..it was sooooo crowded!!! in the regular dining area it was empty!! i guess everyone wanted to sit by the bar as well.. so instead.. we sat near the bar.. our server ( i forget his name) was on top of his game! we ordered the deep fried string beans w/ wasabi ranch dip and the jack daniels burger, which we shared.. our server was even kind enough to have it cut and served on separate plates! as our other friends came.. one ordered the nachos and this brownie dessert.. by then i was too full to try the nachos.. but i decided i think i might have room for a bite of his dessert.. wow.. it was like eating a spoonful of sugar.. (yuck)

olivia s.

I haven't been to a TGI's since...forever. I think the last time I went was when I was in Taiwan. Yeah, the experience was much different.. Anywaayyyy, my friends wanted me to meet them here one Friday late night. I think it was their happy hour? Service was really good. We didn't sit in the bar, but the server didn't seem bothered that we were just going to drink, no food. I ordered a lemon drop martini, SO good! And really strong. They were having a special of these classic cocktails for $3.50 each, and my friend decided to order all 6 of them. Yeah, the server kind of laughed, but was accommadating. Despite them being really nasty because I didn't like the alcohol in them, they were super strong. I'm sure if you liked that kind of alcohol, you'll love it. Don't know if it was just the one time, but all the drinks were strong. Happy hour doesn't include a lot though, unfortunately... I had a good experience here, I'll probably come back.

Chris K.

Yuck. This place is totally on my wall of shame. TGI Friday's is not usually very good, but this location is the worst!!! The last time I ate there we got seated outside on the patio and were forced to order at the bar b/c there weren't enough servers (we also had to prepay?). On top of that what I ate made me totally sick. Eww. Will never return!!!

Emma C.

first off the food wasnt that great...and our server was crap...we tipped her like 13-14%...when we walked in there were 3 hostesses at the door not really doing much...one offered for us to have immediate seating at the bar...and i said no thanks well wait for a table...she gave me this dirty look and said...oh...okay then fine...wtf...some rude ass fat girl...we came in asking for a table and she tries to push us to eat at the bar when we clearly stated we wanted to sit down at a booth...our waitress was definitely crap as well...she had an upbeat tone in her voice...but she took forever to come to our table and she was very rude to us when clearing things off the table...taking our check...other people brought us our food and drinks...we barely saw her...i felt that we should have given the tip to the people who served us...she took forever...and she didnt seem interested in us until the check...i wanted to leave her a dollar...thats it...i will not go back here again

Tito R.

WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER EATEN PERIOD. SERVICE IS FAIL FAIL FAIL - HORRIBLE !!! WORST SERVICE EVER! Bar & Restaurant alike, both are staffed with disrespectful arrogant punks. Nothing but smart ass brats working here. They do not care about customer service, they are obviously locals who work there to be "cool" & hang out with friends. I've been to this place a few times, sometimes it was for drinks others to eat. Each time I left annoyed to hell. Why i went back I don't know, but I know now I am never ever going back. The management here needs to all be FIRED !! Just one example of the bar service, after waiting FOREVER to get one of the PUNK bartenders to take my order he pours my drink (margarita on rocks) & its really really weak & sugary, I mean all mixer & no liquor. My friend tastes it & agrees, I kindly notify the bartender & he appears to get really annoyed then rudely snags the drink out of my hand, spilling some of it on the counter AND my hand, then proceeds to pour liquor down the straw before passing it back to me with a serious "Eff you" attitude. I stood there dumbfounded not believing what I just witnessed & debating whether i should smack this jerk to hell. I try to tell him that was not cool & I wanted to speak to a manager, he tells me "no problem", walks away but no manager ever comes. I was so pissed I drank the drink & left without paying for it or leaving a tip. SCREW THESE GUYS!!! Sorry, but there was NO excuse for that!!! Another time I went to eat with a few friends. The waiter was a classic case of someone who has no business being in the customer / food service industry cuz he speaks way too much ghetto. WTF !!! WHO HIRES THESE PEOPLE??? And lets not forget to mention... THE FOOD IS HORRIBLY PREPARED. TGIF's is supposed to have some good food & I want to say they still do but the parolees cooking in the back here absolutely destroy the dishes. Beware eating here! It will NOT look anything like what you see on the menu, sh*t I bet the menu itself probably tastes better than the food itself. These people screwed up the appetizers & got really testy when we complained. I sincerely hope they shut this dump down, there is NOTHING good about this place!!! Do beware, it's a magnet for local youngsters & troublemakers, you will often see cops or hoodlums in the parking lot. This should be a bad sign about this place & speaks volumes to the clientÃ¨le & staff alike. I don't know what else I can say about this place but do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS PARTICULAR TGIF AT ALL COSTS!!! I wish I could give it Negative Stars!!

so i just moved to the area 7months ago so i was looking for a place to be my REGULAR spot..i found it here at Fridays..this place has amazing staff!! bartenders are awesome..treats u well..good food! great happy hour! security is great..i really like just being able to walk in and people knowing me..seeing good local faces..good spot to also meet people (friendly or intimately) only reason why its missing the fifth star is bcuz of they're bathrooms! lol hate that part..but in the end..im there nearly every weekend night or even some days during the week having a great time with the great staff or with the local people! awesome spot!

Me and friend came here on a weekday dinner. The place was ok, food was ok, but the service? NO! Our food came first and we waited for 3 mins just to get our utensils. It wasn't that even busy because it's only a weekday. I give the two stars because of the great drink. I had the Mango margarita which was really good!

5 STARS ALL DAY LONG. Its fun, friendly, not that pricey, has happy hours, cool people. It just recently became one of my fav. places to hit up. Easily accessible too. Alot of free parking and tons of places around TGIF in case you wanna do a movie or smth afterwards.

Maria D.

Why I keep coming here I have no idea...wait yes I do! Its the idiot I live with being like oh let's go here. And every time I remind him that the last time we went it sucked. But he forgets and again we go, and again the food is terrible. Always sounds good on the menu but falls seriously short. Except for the fried mac and cheese, thats what got it one star. How do you get cheese and noodles into a fried batter?
(1)
Brandon D.

I have gone here several times when they've forgotten to charge me for a soda or dessert. And it tends to happen when I go with just one other person. I guess they tend to be nicer when they think you're there on a date. My experience has actually been the opposite of what Jay P. wrote. I have had good service in smaller groups. There were times when I've seen lots of people waiting outside and I come up and get a table instantly. But that doesn't always happen. I usually get the Flat Iron Steak or something from the Jack Daniel's menu. For dessert I normally get the Brownie Obsession, although one time they messed it up and put way too much fudge sauce. I love their long island iced teas! They're a bit pricey but you get A LOT; you get a good buzz before you even finish it. In general the food is decent, but I go here for the atmosphere more than the food.

The appetizers are really good and I like the fact that they stay open until 2am. There is plenty of parking, even behind the Extended Stay hotel nearby. My GPS could not find this place though!

Adrian D.

Uhm...hella crowded. And since when were the booths by the bar not considered part of the bar. Also when did they have to get a bouncer to check ID's before you get into the bar area. Man this place is kinda ghetto. Kinda sad when you see girls dressin all hoochie tryin to have a night out at...TGI Friday's.....hmmm... Also check your bill before you close out at night. We ordered some drinks on the happy hr menu and they charged us regular cost. Hey guy we weren't that drunk to overlook what we ordered. We pointed it out and he fixed it but still...don't mess w/ a guy about his alcohol.

Jac B.

Next time I go here I will make sure I bring my sawed off. This place is so ghetto. The food sucks and the drinks, well you need to spend about 100$ to get a buzz. There is one perk... the extra security!!! They call themself the Union City police!!! There were so many fights at this location that the cops just can't stay away. If you want to dodge some bullets go to TGI Fridays in Union City.

Jessie T.

I would give them five stars, but the food sucks here. The bartenders are super nice and funny!! They rock! Justin and Mike are the best!! Oh, and lu-heffner.lol. B.T.W. This place is not ghetto. Some other lady that wrote a review said it was. but it's not!( anymore)ha!

Robert H.

I hate to take it out on this TGIF's in particular but my kids sometimes have dragged me to this location so it's the only one I have ever been to more than once. I have come to loathe TGIF's. I have given them more than one opportunity (mostly for convenience) but no matter which one I have tried anywhere in the world the service has been consistently atrocious, and the food mediocre. My first experience with them was co-ordinating a group banquet back in the 1990's. I brought over 100 people which they said they could handle and they totally hosed it up and embarassed me by how totally inept they were. I should have known better than to think this one would be better. Trust me, it isn't. If you just want to go there and get rowdy on Friday night, that's probably all it's good for. Me? I'll spend my money elsewhere. I'm giving it one star because I might be willing to eat some of their greasy fried zuchinni if someone else pays for it and I'm starving.

Came her for my bday with one of my girlfriends. Our server was stupid. Seriously. He'd rather talk and conversate with you than take your order and get what you ask for. I had to ask this mo fo for water five times. How hard is it to get water? I know there's a drought, but shit, I have a ginormous mango mai tai infront of me and am avoiding a hangover. GET ME SOME WATER. The appetizers were good, and this place was really popping on a Saturday night. I'll definitley come back, but I won't sit in mo fo's section, that's for sure...

This place is just wrong it should be closed. The wait is insane to get in. Also to get service. The food quality is not worth the effort to even eat there.

I like nice place, right, and so when I come to chain like Friday's, I don't expect much. One night, our server named "T" went above and beyond my expectations of this place. She was friendly, happy, fast... What was she doing there? I don't know. Been there one time since then and didn't have the pleasure of having her as a server. Unfortunately, she had to go on her break and some horrible server took over. I hated leaving him a tip but left him a note on my bill to split it with "T" She's great! Also like the Jack Daniel's Chicken Strips appetizer. I think it'll be a bit before I return.

If I could give this place lower stars, I would. I have no idea why this chain restaurant is still packed, but I think it has more to do with location than anything else. The food here is your typical American bar and grill fair, as no dish stands out as fantastic, but the biggest problem with this particular restaurant is the service. I cannot say enough about the horrible service at this location. I used to frequent this particular location with my friends but the service has taken a nose dive in the past couple of years. For the most part, the waiters are much nicer to larger parties and tend to ignore the smaller ones, and sometimes seem very rude if you approach them for something first rather than them coming to your table. Other TGIFridays may have great customer service but this one does NOT. Stay away and pick another restaurant in the area. The wait in line is definitely not worth it.

Great late night crowd last night here... busy bar, busy patio, busy wait for tables, busy everything! Smooth and strong drinks, great idea for a late night happy hour (food only, though, no drinks... that's from 3-7pm), but still a fun crowd nonetheless. Drop by on a Tuesday night and see Chris at the bar... tell him the folks from Chili's down the street sent you!

the bartenders last night were HELLAAAA SLOWWWW. i understand when a place is busy or they've had a rough day, but really. to see other people get served while we've been sitting there at the bar for 20 minutes without having someone even greet us? IS IT BECAUSE WE'RE BROWN!? haha jk. but forreal... hurry that shit up. all i wanted was one drink!

Last I heard these guys no longer require 15 pieces of flair (ala Office Space). Yes, it's been that long since I've visited this place. I've gone here a handful of times during their flair days and each time was a horrendous experience. Rude waiters that can care less if you need a napkin or an extra plate. They might as well rename this franchise Dick's Last Resort. The nail that sealed the coffin for me was when I had dinner with a friend, and we got waited on by this cat who was just too cool for school, being a little more casual than you'd want out of your waiter. To make a long story shot, rather than carrying our meals on a tray like he should have, he decided to balance all our plates with just his arms. Sure enough. he dropped our entire order in front of our table. What did this guy do? He laughed without any apology. The only thing this place has going for them is that they serve alcohol. If you eat here, you'll need to drink lots of it to digest their horrible service.

My sister ordered the short ribs and she said they were delicious. I ordered a piece of sirloin steak and 5-cheese macaroni. The steak didn't have too many spices, but it was good since it was simple. I wished I got it medium. Remember to get one level below your preference because by the time it gets to the table, it'll be a bit more cooked. Don't order the macaroni even though the price is reasonable. It is topped with a very strong cheese. It was basically chicken alfredo because there wasn't any cheese taste to it. However, the red velvet cake topped with ice cream was awesome. The cake was a bit too chunky or thick. TGI is not too expensive if you order pasta or low-calorie foods. If I knew that we were going to eat ribs and steak, I would have gone to Texas Roadhouse.

The food is what it is - typical burger, fries, wings, etc......nothing special! I visited approximately 4 times there now cause in the East Bay area it seems it's "The Spot" to go for some odd reason? RU fu$%$in serious? Everyone in there knows each other and/ or has dated one another! I go wit my East Bay friends and its the same routine over and over again. Talk about small town mentality. I guess recycling dates or ex's is the thing since theres not much choice and not much to do! If your one of those "let's party at the Strip Mall" by all means it's for you! Doing and seeing the same ol' routine places/ people are ok with some - not my thing. LIving in SF - Thank god I do!!

This place is always packed and always a good time. The staff is fun and if you go, look for the bartenders Mike and Anne. They will make your experience even better. Enjoy the drinks, but choose wisely on the food. Always a great time. Make sure to ask for a "Tea de Rico" if you like real drinks.

I live in Union City for about 7 years now, I love going out to eat at Union Landing, lots of great places to eat at. But the TGI Fridays here in Union City is horrible. It wasn't busy at all. So we were greeted and then seated. We waited over 10 minutes till the waiter came and asked to order. Ok took the order, and I was telling everyone, "it shouldn't take no more than I say 15 minutes." It was like dead, no one there. Ok well that 15 minute mark had passed and still no food. Well 30 minutes passed and finally the food arrives, but out waiter didn't give it to us, instead it was some guy from the kitchen, which was odd, because it wasn't busy. Ok as we ate, the waiter did NOT check up on us to see how was everything. By the way, their food isn't all that great. You don't get even a side with your order, like a salad or soup like most restaurants offer for free with your meal, and also always they serve it COLD! Ok so he pops up from no where and gives me a refill and said, "here's your Coke" But as soon I took a sip of it, it was root beer (blah) I got mad a little, BUT gave my sister a refill without her asking or him asking for one. And her drink isn't a free-refill. Ok we all had finished up our meals, and waited for at least 20 minutes to ask for the check! After getting the check, we waited another 10 minutes for him to pick up our check. What was funny was, we haven't left the Fridays and the bust boy came to clean our table (I was like WTF) all this trouble was for nothing, I did not tip the guy for which he and his staff was horrible. I've been there 4 times in 7 years of living in Union City! Never AGAIN I will dine at TGI Fridays! Please stay away and go to Texas Roadhouse its worth the wait!

i have been here once, and i think its relatively nice, i do agree with the other reviews that it is packed most of the time, but i guess that adds to the atmosphere. The staff there is quite friendly, even though i was in a really small group (3 people). I like how they have someone who makes balloon animals. I cant really comment on their food since ive only had one thing there and it was the "grown-up Mac & Cheese" and i thought it was delicious. I like this place, but parking is a bit of a hassel.

We went to the restaurant and the girl (the short one, available in the afternoon) who was giving us the sitting wanted to give us the worst possible sitting. We requested a booth and she said all the booths are taken, when we saw that there were couple of booths open; still...... We saw that there was an open window sitting, so we requested that. It was very obvious and she couldn't say no. With a great hesitation, she gave us that table. So, if you go there during afternoon and come across the short girl allocating seating, avoid her big time. But later on, our waitress was really good. Her name was Terri and she gave us the best possible service on the earth. We will go back to the restaurant for Terri's service and will avoid the short girl at the front.

Too bad I can't give negative stars for this place.............Anyone who knows me or has read my past reviews knows that I'm a stickler for good service. I mean, I'm paying all this money to go out and not have to cook at home-i expect decent, or really amazing service. With that said.........Friday's is not going to deliver that kind of service. I went out to lunch with my husband( he had a longer lunch, but I didn't have that much time to spare), and we were seated right away (that's where the one star comes from). We look at the menus, my husband goes to the bathroom, we were chatting, menus were close, and still no one came by even just to stay, we'll be right with you. I HATE that so much, it makes my blood boil! Three, yes, THREE servers came by and looked at us and kept walking. So, I walked out and my husband followed me out asking, why didn't you let me flag someone down? I told him because I don't have time to waste on idiots that work there-the management SUCKS there! and the servers are even worse DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

food: 3 stars service: 0 stars husband likes it: 1 star AVERAGE: 2 stars Let me start off by saying that I'm not a picky person. I am very forgiving when it comes to people making mistakes, waiting long because it's busy, or just because. I work in retail/customer service and let me tell you it is not easy. I understand that if an establishment is short staff due to unforseen circumstances (i.e sick calls, recent termination of employee). But tonight's experience at Friday's was HORRRIBLE!!!! Our server was a young gentleman who at first looked distracted and rushed. He greated us quickly and said he would be right back to take our order...great no problem. After a few more minutes he came back asked what what we would like to drink. He then began to act as if he was going to sneeze or hyper ventilate or something and proceeded to excuse himself. After awhile he came back and we gave him our drink order and he left without even asking if we would like to order an appetizer (which by the way we did). He eventually came back and gave us our drinks and asked if we were ready to order. We gave him our order: (appetizer) Crispy Jack Chicken strips, (me) Peruvian Herb Chicken with sweet potato fries, (husband) Jack Daniels New York Steak and Shrimp, and (daughter) Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Our food arrived and my meal came with regular fries instead of sweet potato fries. I flagged down the server and he apologized and brought me the sweet potato fries explaining that he was confused since he had just had a table who ordered it with regular fries. Ok no big deal totally forgiveable! Easy fix no harm done. As we ate our food our server passed by asking how were doing so quickly as if he was just saying it just to say it. He barely glanced at our table to really look and see if we needed anything...(i.e refilled drinks). He did this about 5 times every two minutes. Finally I did need something from him A REFILL!! I only got it because I asked for it. We have frequented Fridays enough times to point out that we have NEVER had to ask for a refill. My refill by the way came with no ice. I did not ask for no ice. He just filled my glass to satisfy my request, if you could even call it that. After he dropped off my luke warm beverage, my server proceeded to lead one of the hostesses behind the server station in a warm embrace giggling with glee. Ok I have no problem with a little flirting while on the clock....I met my husband while at work!!! But I did not neglect my obligations to my job!!! As our server passed by I told him we needed 2 boxes and he returned with 2 boxes and our check. UMMM....we were going to order desert but appearantly our server didn't want us to and he gave us our check without the black holder thingy they usually give us with it to conseal our tab and securely place our credit card for payment. He grabbed the check as soon as we set our card on top of it and returned it us in one swift motion. I gave him a 10% tip and signed it. Out of nowhere he came back within a second of me setting the pen down...grabs the check thanks us for visiting them this evening and shouts "You're my last customer. I'm outta here!! Thank You for Dining with Us!!" OH MY GOD!! I work in retail I kow how badly I start wanting to go home as the time ticks closer and closer to quitting time, but GEEEZ!!! oh and our booth kinds smelt like piss....bathroom's were kinda dirty with toilet paper everywhere. Normally service and food wise Friday's is a solid 3 stars for service and food...but I'm losing faith...now all I have to do is convince my husband to never return.

About TGI Friday

TGI Friday is a casual dining American restaurant chain founded in 1965. The term “TGI” is an acronym for Thank God It's and together the name of the restaurant is often announced as Thank God It's Friday. Over the years of its existence, the TV commercials and other advertisement streams have also twisted the phrase a bit and used it as Thank Goodness It's Friday. The restaurant serves alcoholic beverages primarily. However, they are also known for their low-carbohydrate and low-fat menu items to promote a healthy lifestyle. TGI Friday also offers gluten-free items on its menu for those with gluten intolerance.

Besides the cool name, TGI Friday also has an interesting background story of its origin. The founder of the restaurant Alan Stillman lived in a New York-based neighbourhood full of a young crowd, especially girls from the airline and fashion industry. He started the first TGI Friday restaurant in New York in the hope of meeting single women as there weren't any such public place for young men and women to meet. He invested $5000 on his own and borrowed another $5000 from his mother to buy a bar named The Good Tavern and renamed the premise to Thank God It's Friday, inspired from an expression during his time at Bucknell University.
