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.

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.

Amazing. Best donuts I've had in a while. Wish there were more around! Fresh donuts, friendly staff. Definitely coming back when I come to Iowa again!
(5)Matt U.
What a great addition the area! We've been lusting for a donut shop for month and we've got a solid one with Daylight. The selection is impressive with everything from you go to glazed or creme filled to the ecclectic, but necessary choices including the bacon maple bar. Only sampled a few, but the chocolate creme filled are excellent and the bacon maple bar is likely to be my new favorite food soon! Delicious bacon sprinkled amongst this sweet friend makes for a tale that will be told until time stops...or until something equally delicious comes along. The quality of the donuts is truly what sets it apart from the local grocery stores - who do donuts well, but not great. This place isn't quite a Voodoo donuts, but it's a great start and an excellent place to get your carb fix!

I went in craving a cake donut. It was prob 10am, on a week day. It was cold and dry....not sure why when every one talks highly. I prob won't drive across town again for them
(2)Mark G.
Stopped by on the way home and got two of them. They have a smaller donut option which I love! I like eating a few flavors at a time, so I really prefer smaller donuts. They have a good selection, so fear not those buying for a group everyone can be happy. Daylight donuts are fresh, delicious, and better than the grocery store options.
(4)Liz S.
Best donuts in Iowa City by far. Fresh every morning, you can smell them baking at night if you stop at the gas station. I love the maple bacon donut. It is salty and sweet and hits the spot. Definitely a treat on a Saturday or Sunday morning! Go early though because they sometimes run out of donut flavors.
(5)S K.
I've been to too many off-the-charts donut places to give this the full 5-stars, but these are very good dounts, plus pleasant service. And for sure the best in Iowa City I've found so far. (I'm amazed there is not a good donut shop on campus?)
(4)Keyla R.
We have only been twice now, so not through the whole menu, but the glazed, strawberry frosted and vanilla frosted are okay. These are slightly different from other donuts I've had, because they aren't super soft, moist and tender, but instead tend to all have a consistency closer to cake donuts. Not at all unpleasant or negative...just different, but still quite tasty. Definitely worth the stop if you want to grab and go in the morning.
(3)Sam B.
Got an apple fritter from Daylight Donuts last week that was burnt & so greasy I could've wrung it out like an iced dishrag... it tasted like the inside of a stank lard bucket & I had to throw it away... if I ever go there again I will check out what I get carefully before I pay for it... normal donuts have been ok that I've got from there before...
(1)J-Money M.
Alrighty so I preface this by saying that I am from SoCal and have been spoiled by really good local donut joints in L.A. but I have to say that this place is just plain ol' "so-so" for donuts. First off, its not "local" for anyone living on the West side, Coralville or even downtown..its out "there" in South/East IA City. But I went regardless because I had to try the best donut IA City had to offer. The trip out there was very underwhelming....the donuts are small in size as compared to a "standard" sized donut in any donut shop I have ever been to and they are quite expensive (cost me $7 for 6 donuts). Its probably because there is a major lack of donut shop competition in this town so they can charge what they want for tiny donuts. The donuts overall tasted good, not spectacular but average, the selection was strong and the customer service was outstanding with friendly, polite people helping out. Overall the experience was good, the product itself though left much to be desired, especially for the price but in a small college town this is probably as good as it will get for donuts.

Generally I don't get excited about donuts. But last Sunday I stopped in to pick up a dozen for my kids and their friends and I was impressed with the quality and the variety of the donuts at Daylight. Too many to list! But the cake donuts are quite good, my favorites being the chocolate topped with crushed peanuts, or the chocolate topped with toasted coconut. The blueberry cake donut is kinda like eating a fried blueberry muffin. That's a good thing. I also tried a fried apple pie ... Looked like an oversized Hostess fruit pie ... But with a lighter dough and lots of apple inside. I wasn't impressed by the maple bacon donut. I wanted to be. Unfortunately, for me, the maple frosting overpowered the bacon flavor resulting in salty maple without enough smoky pork fat. Too much frosting. I would probably be happier if the bacon was fried inside the batter, then maybe drizzled with maple syrup. But despite my nitpicking, other folks love 'em! I'll be back again. Good quality donuts! Fun family memories for the kids! In their eyes I'm like some balding superhero with a box of fresh donuts under my arm!
(5)Andrew L.
Best place for donuts in Iowa City. I've gotta give a special shout out to the orange glaze, fantastic! Now I'm not a coffee drinker but I've heard the cup of joe they serve is horrid. Maybe just pick up the donuts and have your coffee at home.
(4)Cliff T.
Friendly staff is a little short on space, but they hustle to keep the line moving. May need two cash registers for weekends, and, according to my neighbor in line, better parking (I walked). The glazed & cake donuts are delish though, and much better than grocery store/gas station options. Possibly addictive, as I've been 5 times in the last month.
(4)Ruta P.
The variety and the taste is amazing!! I'm not a big donut fan, and usually it's pretty easy for me to refuse one...but not these! The chocolate covered strawberry was unique and delicious..as well as jelly filled or orange glaze! Love them! And it was all topped off with friendly service. Definitely going back again soon!!

Finally, a donut shop in iowa city. I hated buying slightly stale ones from hyvee or the limited selection from the bread garden. Now we have a shop that makes fresh donuts with a wide selection every day. It looks like they're still getting used to the demand as that they sell out on the weekends. Best to get there before 9am if you want to have a wide selection. They also offer to take orders the night before so that you can simply come in and pick up your order if you don't want to get there early. I go about 2-3 times a week. The coffee is good too. Reasonably priced (not like Deluxe) and very friendly staff make this four stars. Almost everything is great, from the cake to the raised donuts, apple fritters too. Bear claws are a little too much like raised glazed donuts (only a little cinnamon filling). I'm more used to a pastry type bear claw with a paste-like filling. I'm hoping that they expand in the near future to include their cinnamon/caramel rolls every day and start selling croissants. If they do that, I'll most likely be going 3-4 times a week. This place is great!! Highly recommend.

I felt the need to write an update after an unforeseen event this weekend. Yesterday, my wife made me drive all the way across town so that she could buy donuts. My very same wife who has been incredibly ambivalent towards fried pastries up to this point. Daylight Donuts has accomplished quite a feat here, and they deserve 5 stars for this.
(5)Jeremy S.
My wife and I love doughnuts, and we were happy that Daylight Donuts moved to Iowa City, which previously lacked a good doughnut shop for years. Their doughnuts hit the spot--not too heavy and not too light. We love their variety, but we wish they had more cinnamon sugar options. However, they have plenty of great chocolate options.
