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.

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.

Horrible food! Went there last night . The food was the most disgusting thing ever. We ordered an appetizer with the drinks and it arrived two minutes before the meal. We had to wait another 5 minutes to ask for plates so we can share. We ordered the three for all and the string beans look disgusting and the cheese sticks were cold. Also, the waitress kept messing up our drink order. I ordered a mango lemonade she brings me a strawberry one. And it was super sweet, yuck! My husband and friend kept having to have their drinks redone all through the meal . The actual good wasn't great either. It wasn't even warm to think it was just done a few minutes ago. She never brought out our orders and only came back to our table after 10 minutes of getting our meals. The worst service and food. And as people were walking In another waiter says out loud still more people coming in. Really?! Then why are you a waiter. I hated this atmosphere ! Our waitress brings us a check and we split the bill with a friend. I pay cash and she brings back without a receipt. She didn't even bring back the original so I can calculate how much tip we owe. She was such an airhead. Will never go there again!

Long wait on Friday nights... Met up with some friends for dinner and it took quite a bit of time for the 5 of us to be seated. Was in the area visiting and met up with them at this location. Our server was good, not great. The prices are standard for all TGI Fridays: decent price for casual sit-down dining. Ask for their monthly drink specials... tried one of the July specials and was quite pleased! Overall a good experience...aside from the loooong wait, it was good.
(3)Lissette P.
Came here on a Friday night. We arrived around 6:30pm and avoided the long wait- only 5 minute wait to be seated. Our waitress was nice and greeted us quickly. After ordering our food came out fast, about 10-15 minutes. We ordered the Jack Daniels Ribs and Shrimp: the ribs were fresh, fall off the bone, the shrimps lightly battered and fried. The fries had a bit too much salt. When we were ready to pay checkout was fast. We had a buy one get one free entree- no problem. Great deal, good experience.
(4)Ms J.
One of my favorite spots, in & out quickly. Great margaritas & great appetizers. Love the hot wings & fried shrimps. And the salmon & veggies are fantastic. The no waiting section have big tv's & all the sports we like.

Please note, this review is strictly for the bar. I live in a bar dessert (like a food dessert but more depressing). With not many options around, I reluctantly went to TGI Friday's with a girlfriend after having our nails done near by. Thank goodness we did. It changed my opinion of this restaurant and chain restaurants in general. Let me start off with the prices (because that ultimately determines how long you stay at a bar for). They have specials that change by day. Sunday was Mimosas and Bloody Marys for $5. On top of that, they have set specials from 3-7. Yes three pm! Finish brunch, go to the bar. Well drinks for $2! And some other specials like beer and wine and things. I stick to well drinks needless to say. In addition, they have apps special. Not sure what the percent discount is, but the selection is large (about 10 plates to choose from) and has something for even people on low carb diets. The vibe is fun. Lots of energy with the people dining, the smoke room like decor, and the TV as back up. I've always had nice wait staff who pass no judgement on teeny tiny tabs. I recommend this place to anyone in the neighborhood. You will be glad you went.

I always eat here mainly for the appitizers. The happy hour and the after 9pm menus are great!
(3)Dee C.
Gross!!!!! Don't bother going here or any location. All the Fridays are disgusting I can't believe they are still in business
(1)Rafael O.
Slowest service ever. I got here at 6:30. It is now 8 p.m. and my family has not been served so much as a drop of water. Never again.
(1)Jen C.
Went here for a late lunch. We were seated after a few minutes. Waitress was kind but never out a smile on her face. She took our order and food took more then 30 minutes to arrive. Wasn't busy at all. We ordered the trio with wings, potatoes skins and potstickers. My bf had the Cobb sale with chicken. One chicken breast on the whole salad. Smh. Food was mediocre. They do have happy hour drinks. I got a applet ink for $3! Can't beat that. It actually had a kick to it .
(3)Luis H.
Never again soup was cold steak tasted awful ordered certain things waitress came back and said they were out . Only thing good was that the waitress was fairly nice.
(1)Jermaine J.
Whitney was our waitress, she's the one that I'm actually giving the five stars. She was a sweetheart, kind and so quicker than most to help. Great job to the hr department for that hire.

My husband and I had not been out to lunch on a Sunday afternoon in quite some time. When we moved to Downtown Pembroke Pines, we decided that we'd go out more often. Since there's a wide variety of menu options on "restaurant row" at Pines and University, we had to make a decision on WHERE to go. A co-worker of mine told me how TGI Friday's is encouraging more families to dine out by offering its "Right Portion, Right Price" specials. My husband and I ordered the Green Bean Fries for our appetizer. Green beans are dipped in a tempura style batter, deep fried, and served with an Asian inspired wasabi ranch sauce. They were DELICIOUS! For the entree, we both chose the 1/2 Rack Baby Back rib meal. The ribs were delicious, but I would have loved my fries served HOT. Although there was a large crowd, we didn't have to wait long for a booth. Unfortunately, we were in the most undesirable part of the dining room - across from the bar and next to the kitchen. We would have preferred a window seat near the entrance. The exterior and parking lot are presentable, but the restrooms are not well maintained. The stalls in the ladies room could use replacement and I noticed that there is a damaged wall badly in need of repainting. Is this the kind of impression Friday's wants its guests to have? The dining experience does not include only the dining room and the menu, the "facilities" are also important. All in all, we enjoyed going out to lunch. We're glad we have Friday's in our neighborhood :)
(3)Tom L.
I've been to a lot of Fridays and this is by far the worst. Our server first if all took over ten minutes to come to our table. We were fine with that. Then we both ordered burgers (the same ones we usually get at Fridays) she never asked how we wanted them cooked, took the order and walked away without saying anything. I guess the bottom line is that the service is horrible. Better idea to walk across the parking lot
(1)Peter M.
This is your typical Friday's except this one attracts the upscale African-American crowd from the surrounding areas. The bar gets quite crowded on Friday and Saturday nights, stop by and say hello to Beverly the bartender who has been there forever.
(3)MICHELLE C.
TGIF....Love their name so much. This is one chain that I frequent often. Why? Well usually the food and service is quite consistent. The menu is filled with delicious bites to please anyone. They seem to always change their feature menu by offering three course deals, etc... keeps it exciting IMO. And let's not forget about their awesome cocktails. Most range in the price of $8 and they are huge with a good amount of alcohol in them. The prices for the quality and size of food items I find very reasonable My favorite dish ever here is the grilled chicken with onions and cheese, mashed potatoes that can feed three people. You get two grilled chicken breast covered on the bottom with cheese and onions brought to the table on a skillet so it's sizzlin hot. Well that is the name of this dish "Sizzlin Chicken". For appetizers I adore their green beans with a side of ranch, very lightly breaded, they are a bit crunchy and delish. And for the dessert lover's out there, trust me check out their Oreo pie. Oh dear I thankfully have only ordered it once as I try and forget about how darn good it is. But I must stay away, hee hee Casual, fun, good food, why not, they do a good job.
(3)Roxanne M.
For the service alone so far the 3 times I've come with my husband, has been Amazing. The spinach deep is real good and OMG for The whiskey cake, my husband loves it! I do too. The pretzel with beer dipping, angus flat iron, sizzling chicken and shrimp taste AWESOME!! Definitely will return.
(5)Nicole V.
I have not been to Fridays in years. However, we were promptly seated and the waitess was very efficient with taking our order, pacing the food, and refilling drinks.. The food was good for typical American fare. I may go back sooner than a few years now.
(3)Zorin D.
Friday's is my standby when I pretty much don't know what to eat. It's not great by any means but it isn't bad either. You can't get much more reasonable than $155 for dinner for five adults and a child including tip. I was underwhelmed by the steak tacos (serves me right for going against my staple Jack Daniel's Burger). But the appetizers didn't dissapoint and I was well fed.
(3)Mimi C.
Pack a SNICKERS bar!!...cuz you'll be waiting for a WHILE!! I've been a customer at THIS location for YEARS and no matter the day or time - crowded or not - the service HERE is always S-L-O-W!! It's very frustrating especially when you have kids. The food and drinks are not so expensive and always made well but they just take TOO long to serve it. A few times they've taken so long to bring the main course that by the time they did I was no longer hungry and/or in the mood to eat and had to pack it up to go. So much for "eating out"... The wait staff is not terrible but they're definitely not great, and they're friendly but not very knowledgable. In all the years I cant think of ONE waiter that has left a lasting impression on me. Tip: I've noticed that I've gotten faster service at the bar so I would recommend anyone to sit there if they could.
(2)Jeremy C.
The new Duo chicken is awesome. Service at lunch is normally good.
(4)Brittney W.
little known fact about Friday's, they don't advertise it, but they have bread sticks (six for $2.99) that come with a side of melted garlic butter. they are delicious. i didn't think bread sticks could get any better than Olive Garden but man oh man! anyway, like all chains, once i've seen one, i've seen 'em all. nothing wrong with this location. the food is mediocre. service was great. what i loved especially was seeing the place totally decked out for christmas. the waitresses were dressing the walls, lights everywhere, and the bartender even wore a santa baseball cap. i left the place still feeling hungry, but Friday's is pretty much one of very few places to eat on University Drive.
(3)Cassandra M.
I give this place a 3 for the service. The food is the same as every other TGI Fridays, good in my opinion. Its never been packed when we went. We live close by & have eaten in or out many times. I think once we had a pleasant server. I work around this industry & it annoys me when servers are walking around with their cell phones, MIA when you want to order food & forgetting stupid things like your drinks at the bar. Not to mention just rude. If this place would have higher expectations for its staff I would give it a 5.
(3)Rick H.
Food was decent, but service was SORELY lacking - had to wait a long time to get drinks, waiter brought wrong appetizer (corrected quickly), and no refill request at all by the time we finished. Our waiter was very busy flirting with the bartender and cleaning up after he dropped someone's plate a few tables behind us. Will wait to return until the current employees are refreshed in a few months as is usual at places like this.
(1)Silvio S.
Really... REALLY... Rrreeeaaalllyyyy bad service. Please do not attend this restaurant unless you hate your mother in law and you are with her. Bathrooms are gross, service is worse. Manager acted like he didn't give a truck about our needs.
(1)Nadia N.
Wanted to get a few drinks and it was happy hour time so we stopped at this Friday's. We decided to sit at the bar and were greeted fairly quickly. We immediately had to change seats though because the pungent smell and fruit flies radiating around the drink pick up area made me want to gag. A good deep clean is in order pronto!!! Finally settled, we told the bartender what we wanted and he made drinks right away. They have drink specials Sunday thru Thursday so we went ahead and got the margarita and martini listed under Monday's $3 specials. Now knowing this is Friday's and not a boutique restaurant somewhere, I didn't have high expectations. Just wanted something tasty and simple. Hubz got the Jack Daniels burger and I got the mozzarella sticks. Now... my appetizer came out fairly quickly. However, the burger took a full 25 minutes to come out. As I am sure these patties aren't freshly ground and molded per order, I was a little baffled about the hold up. Then it came out without the accompanying fries. Now during our wait we ordered a 2nd round of drinks. Hubz hated his margarita so he switched to a martini. I was good with my first drink so I got a second. Unfortunately, within our half hour wait the bartender was now slammed. He had a full bar plus three high tops in the bar area. Not to mention the drinks from table orders to make. I kept waiting for another bartender to come help him but that didn't happen immediately. He asked another server for help with one of the high tops and was shot down. It was a pretty rough thing to watch - he was in the weeds. And apparently this wasn't just an issue at the bar. At one point a man came in to pick up an order he called in. However, the food wasn't ready. Why you ask? Because the hostess who took the order got busy seating tables and never put in the order. Fail. Fail. Fail. Eventually the night manager came on and helped out the bartender but I really think this location needs to do better. Hope for the best prepare for the worse. More staff and some cross training is necessary. Fortunately, we weren't in a rush or I may have been quite pissy. With previous bartending and food service experience I understand that things happen, but some things can be easily rectified. Overall, my experience wasn't horrific. The bartender was a nice guy, drinks were good and the food was decent. Plus, with my rewards points the burger was free. Will I go back to Friday's? Yes. Will I go back to this location? Probably not anytime soon.
(3)Shaan P.
If there was an option for no stars I would've selected. Service okay. Food.... Smh. I was better off staying home eating cereal. Potato skins were the oilyest crunchiest disgrace of my favorite appetizer. It was filled with some orange looking cheese wiz product and a few crumbles of salty bacon. No sour cream. The Jack Sliders were pretty good I should've just gotten those. Like three things we requested they didn't have. Luckily we only ordered the pick three apps so the bill was under 50 bucks. Over 50 bucks I probably would have walked out. It's a shame the quality of food chain restaurants are serving people, and people outside of the culinary industry don't even know there are places out there serving great food everyday no matter the time of day. I don't even blame Friday's. I blame myself for eating there. Definitely not going back.
(1)Gabriela R.
My burger was dry & tasteless, the cheese did not come with the burger but as I was almost done. My strawberry daiquiri had a tiny slice of strawberry and that is all about strawberry it had, tasteless like the food. Waitress was nice, I think the cook is the problem.
(1)Tara I.
This place needs some serious cleaning and a new staff!!! Never again. I feel bad for the hard working people here, they are out numbered.
(1)Julie R.
Came with a friend to have drinks since we hadn't hung out in a while, and $3 martinis on a Wednesday is a pretty good deal that's hard to pass up. Also noticed that they changed their menu up completely since the last time I was there (had been like a year or so). Of course while in the middle of our first drink we decided to order some appetizers. We tried the Ahi Tuna Crisps-very good, the Hibachi skewers-good, and the Garlic & Basil Bruschetta-very good too. No complaints about the food. I believe our servers name was David, and he was great! Very nice, friendly, and since my friend asked him so many questions we got to learn more about him too, lol. I felt bad and felt like it was a little prying, but he was cool and handled her crazy self and questions very well. Now I was gonna give this place a really great review, until I went to the bathroom and that really made me question it all. It was a hot mess, looked like the toilets might have overflowed a bit (cause there was water all over the floor), there were paper towels on the counter and floors, etc. I realize the priority may be the food and customers, but we, the customers go to the restroom too, so that needs to be taken care of. My visit this time around had been like a 4, maybe even 5 star, but the bathroom made them drop to 3.
(3)Ashley S.
The kitchen was clearly backed up, multiple tables complaining about the slow service. Took 20 min to get drinks, and I ordered water (not alcoholic). There's really no excuse for not serving someone water in 20 min.
(1)Dionne E.
I haven't been here in over a year. Location at University Dr and Pines Blvd. We went out to celebrate a birthday on 8/8/15. Got there mins to 7 ... I know their service was going downhill but I didn't expect it to be so bad. We waited for a table for about 30 mins. 5 of us in a group. They gave us a table beside the bar. Super loud, bartendar mixing drinks, waiters who were waiting for drinks talking and laughing. We asked if we could get another table, we were told it would be another 10-15 mins. So we kept the same table. Took them like 20 mins to get our drinks. I dont get it why drinks took so long. When the drinks came, they were out of a beer that 1 of us ordered .. THEN it was about 45 mins to get our food and our waiter, he passes us like 5-6 times back and forth. Not one time did stop & apologize or say u know let me go check on your food or get refills. I have never had such poor service ... I did feel like walking out while we waiting for our food but the thought of going somewhere and having to wait again :( Oh oh! the over 1 1/2 hour wait wasnt the only thing! When our food came, 2 out 3 of burger buns were toasted too long so they were crisp, buns were crumbling. I ordered Sirloin with coleslaw and sweet potato fries. I got like 1/3 less of fries than everyone at our table. They kept looking at my plate and saying why does ur fries look so small .. i was going to ask waiter about the fries but having heard what some waiters/chefs do when they take ur food back. I let it be .. when we were almost finished eating, thats when the waiter offered refills. OMG! Awful. We usually tip higher but we gave him the least amount of tip .. Never again!

Im going to keep it simple.. I have tried giving this location many chances but the feeling is the same..They need to do better as far as food and service goes.. My friend burger was dry and so was my chicken.... (blah) Ps: They are no longer allowed to sing happy birthday for the table.

So how could a national chain like TGI Fridays be bad? Easy, understaff the restaurant so only two servers attend to the 20 or so tables. The result, drinks and orders that take forever. Now I came here around 11p as most restaurants are closed by now. At midnight the restaurant put their lighting on "clean up" mode which if you don't know, is it's brightest setting. When asking the server why, he responded by saying that's what they do to indicate last call at the bar and then he went on to say that 1230 is when the kitchen closes. So I ask, when do you close? He says 1a which means if I Yelp or Google Fridays cause I'm hungry and it says they close at 1, but I show up at 1230, all I can order is a Coke cause the bar won't serve me and the kitchen is closed. Come on TGIF!!!!! Everyone knows the damn kitchen closes when the restaurant does. It's unfortunate the after 11p TGIF and breakfast joints are our only options. Shame on you TGIF for taking advantage of that. So I don't come off like a total negative person, the food was consistent with all other TGIF.

If I could give this Fridays a 0 stars I would. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GOOD SERVICE AND DECENT FOOD. Came on a slow day and it was still terrible service and incomplete order. Waste of money to come here. You are better off choosing somewhere else to spend your money. I will not be coming back to TGI Fridays ever again.

I went to this location on 7/24/15 and it is safe to say that will be the last time I attend this TGI Friday's. We arrived in a small group and after sitting down we waited about 20 minutes before reaching out to another hostess because we were yet to be attended.The place had many open tables so it was weird that they had not attended us immediately, but we thought less of it. After finally having a waitress assigned to us we ordered our drinks and their deal of "endless" appetizers. The drinks took roughly another 15-20 minutes to get to the table. At this time everyone in the group was irritated and we all felt the service was ridiculously poor. About 15 minutes after the drinks arrived we got our first round of appetizers. This was exactly over an hour since we had sat down. Outraged already, we asked the waitress to please place the order of the second round as we figured it was going to be taking longer than the norm. About 30 minutes later we received half of our order and the plates were not even complete (Missing food/sauces). At this point we politely asked the waitress if there was something we could do on our end to speed up the process as it was getting close to the two hour mark of us being there and only half our order was out. She stated she was going to see what she would do. The time passed by and nothing. When she was walking around to another table we just asked her for the bill as no one was interested in staying there any longer. She did not even have the courtesy of coming to the table to apologize for the delay or bad service, she instead just walked by, dropped off the bill and did not say ONE word. I totally understand that sometimes places may be understaffed or there just may be some event that is causing delays, but never had I experienced such poor service anywhere else. I urge those around the area to stay away from this TGI Friday's as based on other reviews it is a trend they seem to follow. It is unfortunate that a chain has to receive such bad rep because the ones managing that location do not take their customers into consideration.

I really tried to give this place a chance, and I have been to other TGI Friday's and enjoyed them, but this particular location is horrible. The booths are dirty and the food quality is nowhere near worth the price. The last straw was when I went there on a Friday night and they 86'd (didn't have any more) about half the menu. No beef/steak at all. I started with the Onion Soup and it was bland, cold and appeared as if it were scooped out of the mens room. The only way I could imagine enjoying the food at this particular location is if I got tanked at the bar beforehand. The waiters/waitresses are not bad, but there's only so much they can do with the disgusting quality of food they are forced to serve you.

There's nothing spectacular about the restaurant. The service is always hit and miss. The food was just okay and not worth making a special trip.

Met the family here for a last minute dinner. I usually hate to eat in these places as this is like fast food for me but I did because I was desperate and starving from not eating all day. Really not good to go hungry to this place, but I did. It was ok. Food was good and the waitress was really nice. There was a huge party next to us celebrating a birthday so it was a bit noisy and felt cramp. At one point another waitress was taking away the plates and dropped a honey BBQ sauce on the floor and it got all over the chair and hit our feet. The floor was so sticky and no one came to clean it up, At one point someone tried with napkins to clean it up but it was so sticky it needed water and soap. It was kind of gross and we ended coming home to clean out feet. So yeh.. This place is OK.. Not the best. It was a last minute stop.. Note to self dont go all day not eating to make a poor dinner choice afterwards. You will pay for it later.

Posting for my family who told me about their experience today when I asked about going for dinner next week. They were practically ignored. No waitress or waiter in sight. My mom flagged the manager and complained, but not much was done. They left and won't be back. I personally haven't been to that location in years and it looks like I won't be anytime soon.

If I could give this establishment negative stars, I would. Whatever you do, do not come to this establishment on a Monday evening. I got sat around 9:30 and put in my drink order at 9:45.. It's now 10:36pm and my drink has yet to be delivered. I demanded a manager and I have yet to meet him/her. Everyone around me seems to have their food besides the table that's next to me, the bartender seems unoccupied so why is my drink not at my table? This is seriously the worst restaurant experience I've ever had.

We ordered steak and lobster and steak had veins running through out it and lobster could have fit in a tablespoon. Very small not worth the money for 22.00. Coffee came with bad creamers 2 times. Waitress was very apologetic and did a good job. Manager came over and got me another steak asked for medium got really rare. Taking it home to re cook.... Good luck will not go back to this location

I'm not a fan of them, but need to used a 25 dollar gift card. To start wife order one of their specialty plate that comes a sirloin steak (medium rare) with two sides. She told me that was not to her expectation, meat was hard and dry not for the quality expected on that type of meat. I had the Chicken special entree, with red sweet peppers onions and two sides. At least the dessert was OK. We share the Jack Daniels cake with vanilla ice cream. By the way it was a late lunch (we were seated around 3:30 pm) Now to my surprise ( I thought the gift card will covert the lunch) the total of the ticket came to $30.40 with out tax or tip.

Dined in service on Sunday around opening time. First customers in and had terrible service. Drinks were ordered first. Cherry limeade and water. Limeade tasted terrible so we asked for a water instead. Waitress took our order and never brought out the water. Our appetizer was asked for a specific way and it didnt come out the way asked for. Waitress admitted it was her fault and then took it back. They didnt make us a new one, but instead picked out most of the tomatoes. After bringing out our food she never came back to check on us. Would be 1 star but my burger was excellent. Had the all star burger.

went to FGI Fridays in Pembroke Pines on 5/18/15, the place was swarming with flies and i found 2 live maggots in my food. the manager filled out an "Incident Report" and said someone would contact me in a few days, well it's been 17 days and no one has contacted me. i've called customer relations 3 times and been told each time a district manager would contact me but no one ever has. Apparently TGI doesn't care if they serve customers maggots !

First of all came here for little cousin's bday dinner with some of her friends and family members. As soon as we walk in we were told to sit in our booth, so we're sitting and some ratchet white lady comes out of the bathroom with her boyfriend yelling at us to get up because that was "her" table, yet we were seated there. She ignored that statement completely and decided to stick her ratchet fingers in some nachos that were on the table and ate them right in front of us, called the manager saying that we stole her table, so the manager came to tell us that we need to move and go to the front to be put on the wait list when we had already made reservations the day before since it was a large group but accommodations were not made for us. Then the manager made the birthday girl get up because she was in a chair at the end of the table, saying it was a fire hazard. Then we got moved about three times until they finally found an area for us to sit. No one acknowledged that we were sitting there, no hello, no "can i help you?" , no eye contact, nothing, we were invisible, it was like high school all over again. Then we finally ordered our drinks, all we ordered was water which came one hour later. Then the appetizers came about 40 minutes later. We ordered burgers. When we bit into it we realized that the meat was undercooked, super pink. I didn't even finish mine. They only gave us two napkins and I wondered where are the rest of my napkins. I went to use the restroom and when I was washing my hands there were no paper towels but guess what I found, the rest of my damn napkins, two huge stacks of t.g.i Friday's printed napkins. When we ask the waiter for some utensils he says they have no more silverware because they were being washed so he brings us a set of plastic forks and spoons and this did not occur until the end of my meal. This is the worst eating establishment I have been to. Please do not come here. This whole place stinks. The people are rude. There's only one decent waiter, little Johnny, what a doll, even though I don't think that is his real name because no one even wears any damn name tags. This whole place is a fire hazard.

Service is great, they have a friendly staff. Both the sizzling chicken and shrimp and the salmon are good choices. Overall it's a nice place to go
