Diabetics at TGI Friday

Foods to Avoid at TGI Friday for Diabetics:
Sugar and sodium intake are crucial if you have diabetes.

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.

I enjoy eating here while getting my truck oil change by the near by dealer. They have great drinks and great variety of entrées. The place atmosphere is very relaxing and the noise level is better than average. Prices are very reasonable for what and how much you get. The lunch specials are awesome.
(5)Tim S.
Keep driving. Next place will be better, whatever it is. Endless appetizer took 30 minutes. Drink order wrong. Not even busy. Done with this franchise for life. $100 down the drain and I didn't get dinner. Third visit. Third location. All bad. Infrastructure broke
(1)Ronee B.
We were meeting family out of state so a place that was easy and familiar was necessary. The service was actually top notch. Drink refills came out in record time and I was never with an empty cup. I ordered the Korean tacos which was pretty tasty, but a tad too much cilantro for my liking. My hubby ordered a sandwhich very plain and he was very clear he just wanted meat and cheese on the bun as he dislikes veggies and sauces if any kind. His sammy came out with mayo slathered all over it. Also, he tasted a chip (the homemade chips are pretty darn yummy), and under a chip was a piece of paper wrapping that didn't belong there. The waitress took the whole thing back and got a new one and comped us the mess. Given the fiasco I rated less than three stars. We wouldn't go back. The menu is lackluster as well.
(2)Rich A.
Idiotapalooza! Where else would they bring out your entree first, followed by soup followed by chips - then offer to keep the entre warm instead of a fresh entree. Add to that no drink refill and you get king of sucksville! Well done tgif!
(1)Lucky C.
i only did take out so i'm not sure how their service was. Food was good, but the portion was a bit small.
(3)Rob B.
Food was fine. Typical of the chain. I sat at the bar and my eyes were burning from the strong disinfectant smell that permeated the area. The floor might have been really clean, but it was really off-putting. I hope they can figure out a way to rinse that smell out after they mop the floor, or I won't be coming back.
(2)James R.
Wasn't very busy, service was a little slow but had drinks the whole time. Food was good but was just warm instead of hot. Ok place.
(3)Oliver F.
Food is standard, staff is friendly, I wish they were open longer. Good thing is it's connected to the doubletree
(4)Shelly B.
Went to Fridays because was looking for something different than our usual. Was very disappointed in over cooked steak, chewy lobster topping and over cooked broccoli. The only highlight was the strawberry basil margaritas, as long as you don't mind waiting an hour between drinks...maybe I'm just a lush. Fridays just won't be on my Friday lineup again.
(2)Diane E.
Typical chain - consistent and large portions. I ordered the California Club Sandwich and the Southwest Wedge Salad. Both were good, reasonably priced, and fast service. Since this Fridays is connected to the Doubletree Hotel in Bloomington, there was no need to search around for a restaurant for a quick dinner. Friendly staff.
(3)Rob G.
I usually avoid chain restaurants especially when I travel but this was right next to my hotel and I was hungry. I am glad I tried the place. I was pleasantly surprised. The service was outstanding. Both times I ate here on my trip the servers were accommodating, friendly, and even fun. The food was also a nice surprise. I had an appetizer platter on one trip and and wings on my other trip. Many of the appetizers were very original and very tasty and you could get three kinds for the price of an entree. I loved this option. Since I like to try various foods. My favorite was the ahi tuna with guacamole. Drinks were also reasonably priced.
(4)Kristine J.
I go here a lot and it's one of my favorites. The food is great and the service is also. Busy nights (Friday and Saturday) expect a little longer of a wait to get your food. Their mudslides are amazing, and if I wanted to compliment the menu I'd have to compliment it all. The Jack Daniels menu is especially good, and I love the new 2 for $10 menu. Saves me a lot of money! I've never been disappointed in this place.
(5)M D.
Great food, both variety and quality. Good service. No wifi.
(5)Tj M.
I normally don't review chain restaurants however we always get a decent meal here.I really enjoy the ribs here and they are always cooked just right and they fall of the bone.My girl gets the fish and she really likes the salmon there.The service is usually good and they always refill our drinks which we both like to see(i hate to ask).Under normal circumstances we would only go here with a coupon because it can get expensive without one.
(3)Greg S.
I see TGI Fridays across the country and tend to pass them up for something unique and local to an area after all I can eat at TGI's at home. saying that I opted for the hotel connected restaurant tonight and am very glad I did. The bar staff was very attentive and the Blue Moon was excellent as usual but the meal was noteworthy in a very good way. I must say I will be back to try more of the items with the Jack Daniels sauces. The steak was tender with the JD sauce being sweet and a bit tangy. The vegetables were mostly green beans but still a bit crunchy and flavorful. Add a side of loaded mashed potatoes and you have a meal that is very appeasing to the palette and filling. Definitely give this slighted neighborhood establishment a visit from time to time.
(4)Jim S.
Went there (11/10) because I'd seen a commercial advertising a "2 for 10" special, just the night before. When we got there the waitress told us the special ended in October. A few days later I saw the commercial again and called (about 11:30PM) to talk to the manager and see what the deal was, but nobody answered the phone. So they don't sell what they advertise and they're not open until midnight, even though it says so on the door. Service was good and the food was fair. Drinks are way over priced for what you get.
(3)Jenna M.
Like all chain TGIF's, the appetizers and expansive drink menu are the main reasons to eat here. The main entrees are usually bland, and anything that says "fresh vegetables" really means "pile of butter with a piece of seasonal vegetable." Servers' buttons and uniforms are different than say Applebee's, but everything else is the same. Bar is usually overrun with hotel clients or college-age guys, and the restaurant is taken up by middle-age regular customers. Good place to go if you're looking to chill for an hour with friends and enjoy drinks.
