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.

    IMO, Friday's is the best chain restaurant. I rarely order a burger when out at a restaurant but I craaave Fridays burgers. They are amazing. Their fries are awesome too, great seasoning. My personal favorite is the Jack Daniels chicken sandwich. Apps are always on point and cooked well: cheese sticks, potstickers, wings. Their menu changes a lot so some past favorites have been taken off the menu, like the bbq chicken wrap and bbq bacon sliders. Still, always happy with my food and service is good.

    After Shopping We Decided to make this our family time Dinner Spot. Very happy that We did. The Service from the time We walked in the door was very nice. We were able to get Seated right away. Out waiter brought our water with lemon slices(by request) our right away. We all were able to take our time to place our drinks and Appetizers. The Friday night drink Special was house long Island ice tea. Great choice to get you Happy. All of our Dinner choices Was good and fresh. We was also doing some early Birthday Celebrating that was a extra cool and great surprise for my Son. But you have to sing your own birthday Song. And that was cool We can sing better than them on any given day Right. Lol. Thank you Friday's for your great service And thank you for letting my Sister buy 4 lime cold slaw to take home. I told her no eating in my car she said but it's so good. Happy Yelping

    Stopped here for dinner while working in the area. I like the specials that Fridays runs during the week. Coming in on a Tuesday it was Jack night. We started off with an order of Jacks strips which were on special for $3. These are some of my favorite, the sauce has a nice sweetness to it and plenty come in one order for sharing. Next we ordered a 2 for $10. For the appetizer we ordered the mozz sticks. Let's get something straight, I don't really mozz sticks all that much and I had a bad experience as a child (undercooked and I didn't chew, I saw the light). Anyhow, these were awesome. They had a garlic taste and I just couldn't stop eating them. The marinara was ehh, whatevs. For the entree, we got the chicken bruschetta pasta. That was pretty good, garlicky. But I consider that a good thing. The total bill was $14, not shabs for two full stomachs. Plus when you are a stripes member, you get free chips and salsa. Service was great at this location, we sat in the bar!

    Nice place for dinner with the kids and some gluten free options on the menu. The Jack Daniels Chicken was very tasty. We came around 5:00 on a Saturday and there was no wait. They had $4 long island iced teas which were mixed well.

    Normally I love this place. However, the past 3x I've been there its been horrible. Today, they took 10 minutes to even come our table to ask for our drinks. Then they brought out the wrong food for me and cold food for my mom. Then they remade my burger while my mom ate..so we ate separately. Everything was just horrible and disappointing. The only plus I have is the free desserts we received (bc we complained) and the brownie was hotter than the food itself. Lol. Not coming back

    My fiance and i went to this TGI Fridays on Christmas day. It was amazing! The staff was great. Our waiter, Bill, was awesome. He helped me decide which of the two drinks i wanted and which sauce i wanted on my ribs. He knew the food and was so helpful. The cook! I didn't see him/her but they were on their game! Our appetizers came out before our main courses, yes that's a big deal, and the Ahi Tuna was out of this world. I do not like tuna but i LOVED this Ahi Tuna. Dinner was great. After dinner i got talking to the hostess and she was very friendly. All and all i wants expecting as good a night as normal because it was CHRISTMAS but they blew my expectations out of the water! If i could give more stars i would.

    I love tgif sizzling chicken and shrimp. I order this same entree every time I go. The service is great and fast. Try the desserts as well. Can't eat it alone....would be good to share.

  • Dave T.

    Been going here for YEARS! It really needs an update. A refresh. Some new staff. Food is still decent. But it's just odd to be there with no other customers. I know the competition has surrounded this place but I still think if TGIF could update it a bit it would be better. I always love the jack Daniels grill! Mmmmm food seems consistent which is a good thing.

  • Meghan S.

    Had great service and yummy food. When I went they were having a deal that you could get an entree and dessert/appetizer for $10 but you had to select off of a specific list. The list had lots of great options so I recommend going while this deal is going on.

    Visited 08/02/2013. Server: Kevin M. Consistent. Same order as before. "Grilled Salmon with Langostino Lobster" still very good. Ultimate Bloody Mary was very good.

    Yep. I went to Friday's with the fam. Hey, they had a $5 sandwich/salad deal, and well. Who am I to complain when someone else is paying? Honestly, as much as I try to seek out local places, there is something comforting about chains. And Friday's is, in my humble opinion, one of the better ones. I'm a sucker for some Food Network and enjoy seeing the Ultimate Recipe Showdown stuff on the menu. I had a Thai peanut chicken wrap. I think the concepts of wraps (at least with tortillas) might be a little foreign to Thai folk, but what do I know? I do know that it was pretty tasty, the fries were nicely seasoned, but the whole thing fell apart halfway through and I had to shovel it in my mouth with a fork. The husband's burger looked pretty tasty (I think he got the Jack bacon barbecue something...) and the 4 1/2 year old with us gave a ringing endorsement by gobbling up all of his mac & cheese before we could blink. Service was good, too; I think the servers are trained pretty well. You know, it is what it is, but sometimes, you want something consistent and familiar. I have no quibbles with Friday's over that, and I'd pick it over Applebee's or Chili's any day of the week.

    We go to this TGIF's all the time. We went Sunday during a Bear's game. They had one guy serving the entire bar and all the tables in the room. We waited 15 minutes and left because we didn't even get water. 4 tables around us didn't get served either. The guy that was there waited on us before. He really isn't qualified for the job. We will avoid this place on Sunday. There were only 2 people at the bar during a Bears game!!!!!!! We should have known better.

    Yes, this is a chain, but I think it is pretty good! The employees work hard here, the food is good and now that smoking is not allowed-the bar area is even more popular. It is very packed and the wait is long on weekends, but I am recommending it. TGIFRIDAYS offers smaller portion menus and an under $10.00 specials. My favorite is the tower of Jack Daniel's shrimp, chicken and ribs which is a good deal for under $15.00.

  • Steven M.

    This is a nice place, but there is a lot of competition in the area. The server was spot on. We started with the loaded skins. They were very good. Needed more sour cream though. I had the Jack Daniels pulled pork sandwich. It had onion rings on it that were really not worth the trouble. The fries were just as soggy. The sandwich was pretty disappointing. They put the rings on top so you wouldn't notice they forgot the meat. What was there, had way to much sauce on it. And then they give you another cup of JD's sauce? Overload. My friend had the chicken caesar. Again, nothing to write home about. He said Chilli's was way better. The drinks were pretty good though. I had the Bacardi and lemonade. A little consistency would be nice. I had 3 and they all tasted different? I'm not sure that I would come back here. To many great choices to hook-up with another dud.

    OK it's just a TGI Friday's. But the service here has always been good, when we can get seated in a reasonable time. Orland is still a pretty over-shopped, congested shopping area. There's nothing special about TGI Friday's, but if you go there on a Friday or Saturday night there is a good chance they will put you on a half-hour or longer wait for a table. WTF? Wait 40 minutes for a meal at TGI Friday's? Gimme a f--in break. We won't do any wait for dinner longer than 20 minutes in the suburbs. There is hardly anyplace worth waiting that long for a meal. I could drive into Chicago in the amount of time we have waited for a table at a quotidian suburban restaurant. With that being said, TGI Friday's is a nice place to eat so long as the ignorant hoi polloi haven't descended on it like a plague of locusts.

  • Don M.

    The service is good. They keep checking back to see of you need anything else. I usually go for a salad and tried the chicken caesar and it was ok nothing to brag about. We also had the potato skins I am not a big fan of tots but these were good. Other comments were pulled pork was just ok. Drinks were good they make a pretty good jack sour. The place can get crowded and the wait can get long. The parking is a little jacked up to it is right in the entrance to the mall you need to pay attention or get squished. Ok place but better options all around.

  • Dana G.

    Ok yeah it's a chain restaurant, so what? I have 4 words in rebuttal: Crispy Green Bean Fries. That is what's up! Seriously. I would go for just that, but they also have some amazing staples. The Bruchetta Chicken Pasta is amazing although overloaded with garlic, the Cheesy Chicken and Shrimp is ooey-gooey cheesy skillet goodness, and their drinks (alcoholic and non) are fun and get the job done. I don't care how many pieces of flare these people wear, this will always be my favorite chain restaurant. TGIF! Welcome to Chotchkie's!

    I think the service here is good but the food isn't that great for the price. Feels as if the food was old or microwaved.

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.
