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.

    I'm looking at the reviews and I'm like..."Really?" I really enjoyed my dinner here... The atmosphere was pleasant, the food was again, as good as expected, the service/server was exceptionally well, and...the drinks..."kudos to the bartender!!!" If you're going to rate this establishment, consider the area...but as far as I'm concerned, I would definitely come back! It's true..."Friday's Is Everyday!"

    Went there again yesterday for new year day lunch. As we were waking in 3 customers were leaving and warned us that the service was bad and that about 2 people seemed to be working and we would be in for a long lunch. We went in anyway and stayed for 5 minutes waiting to be seated. No one came so we left. This place is insanely badly managed.

    Food Awful Service Awful Experience Awful I was told i had to wait 45 mins so i said ok and decided to walk across the parking lot to marshals.(and told them that because i had the pager thingy) i was gone 20 mins and after the 50 min mark hit i asked how much longer they said they called me and i wasnt there so they erased me. but if i wanted to be seated it would only be ANOTHER 30 mins wait! Please rip down the bldg and put up a franchise that is more efficient.

    For those who do not want to read the entire story, short story is: This place is horrible! DO NOT go there!. Not only have I worked in a restaurant, my sister has also managed many different TGI Fridays and the service here was absolutely terrible. It all started with trying to get a drink. We ordered our drinks and it took the server at least 15 minutes for her to bring them to us. Then she walked away before we could order our food. It was another 10 minutes before she came back, that we were able to order. We ordered 3 appetizers and 3 entrees(2 for here and 1 to-go). The appetizers not only took 20 minutes to cook, they all came out separate, yet we ordered them all at the same time. When we received the appetizers, they were cold and we immediately sent them back. By the time the appetizers were finished being recooked, our food came out. There was another disaster in itself. The waitress then only came out with one entree. She put it in front of us and walked away. The entree that came out was what we ordered, but the food was not prepared correctly. After waiting 10 more minutes, I finally flagged down the waitress, and let her know that the food was not what we ordered and we were still waiting on one other entree. She said that she would fix the entree and check on the second one. She then came back to us and said that the kitchen is recooking the first entree and also stated that the second entree that we ordered, was no longer on the menu. At this point, I asked to speak with the manager. She came over and acted as though she did not care about the situation. So I told her to void everything on our check because we would not be paying for the food. The service was terrible and that we would not be coming back. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT BAD SERVICE AND A HEADACHE!

    Straight from the freezer, into the fryer and then on to your plate. That is how everything tasted. We waited a while to get our chicken strips and spinach dip and when it arrived the chicken strips were cold. The spinach dip had no actual flavor. This experience was enough to make me never come back to TGI Friday's again.

    This Fridays has the worst Service ever .. However it's closest to home so I still go sometimes . What I dislike about it is how long you have to wait for your food and even more so for a drink it's ridiculous . Also last time I went my husband ordered some kind of milk shake and the waitress told us the lady making drinks didn't know how to make it ...... Why in the world do you work somewhere and not know how to make somethin on menu like wtf !!!! Also lot of servers are rude and some of the worst servers I've ever had .. Note I said some not all

    We had to wait a few minutes too get seated but other than that it was a pleasant experience. The waitress was great, checking on us constantly and she even refilled our drinks without us having to ask. The food was great as well and didn't take that long. Overall It was great I would definitely go again.

    We were on a tight schedule to have lunch and see some of the Steelers game. We called ahead to see if they had it on and they said they could put it on. Got there and the manager refused to despite having 8 tvs and not many guests. And he was rude about it too.

    Just moved to the area. Came to this TGI Friday's on a Saturday night. Sadly disappointing experience. This place did not know if it wanted to be a dance club or a restaurant. There was a live DJ playing loud house music and he was trying to get the crowd "fired up". He did not seem to notice that most of the diners were more interested in eating, drinking, and conversing with friends than to pay attention to him. My girlfriend and I had to text our conversation back and forth because it was so loud there and we were at the same table! The server even messed up her order. There was also an armed policeman on guard near the front door which should tipped us off that this was not a good joint to hang out in for dinner. The best part was that the waitress was very friendly and corrected the error in the order without us having to say anything about it. Kudos to her as she was spot on with refills and making sure we were taken care of. To bad her restaurant is out of touch with the patrons.

    Visited along with my Dad tonight after a long two days moving in to the area. Our experience was on a Thursday during the late afternoon. The restaurant was active but not overly busy. Nevertheless, a full 15 minutes passed before we were approached by our server. We were about to walk out. The server was terse throughout the meal. The best aspects of dinner were the food, itself, (as in edible, though not exceptional) and the speed in which the food was presented after we finally encountered service. All other aspects were absolutely poor. My Dad ordered a Budweiser, which he found to be putrid; we assumed because of dirty tap lines. Thankfully, his beer was replaced by a Miller, which he was able to choke down. And the service, mostly because of its initial slowness, was awful. Quickly upon moving in the area, I have already discovered which eatery NOT to visit. Avoid this place.

    As a rule I don't frequent T,G,I Fridays but this one is so foul that I will most likely never set foot in another Fridays again. I am amazed that corporate gurus haven't shut this one down. RT 1 has always had a rough feel but this store has embraced that attitude and lack of class. If you value your person, significant other, and time, avoid this place like the plague.

  • Ash M.

    Wish I could give this place a negative star reason why is my fiancée waited 10 minutes to greeted which shouldn't even had took that long because it was busy at all. The second reason is we my fiancée order us lunch the waitress comes back with our food at 420pm mind you she ordered at 330pm food came out wrong and cold. My fiancée explained the order was etc the waitress decided to questioned my fiancée on the order and asked was she sure she said that etc with a attitude completely rude. But not only that the waitress paid us no attention while sitting in the booth even after we told her hey this is not what I order she decided to give me a small plate and told me to put whatever is wrong on the plate and she will go exchange it no I'm sorry no sense of urgency nothing she just went back to bar and continued to chat with the patrons over there I could go on but I will be even longer. Will not visit this place again.

    If you're looking for a quick bite for apps, look elsewhere. Be prepared to invest at least an hour here just to get your food, no matter what time of day. Service at the hightops in the bar is slow, even with only a handful of people. Sit down is a bit better but still not great. The food is Friday's but nothing to really complain about. Problem here is service.

    I typically don't do casual dining chains because my teenagers love this place we went tonight. I guess the rain brought everyone out today because there was a 25 minute wait in the dining area. so we sat in the bar area.....our server was slooooooow and had been out for some weeks so he was not familiar with the specials Fridays had.....had to get out of my seat and ask a manager was the 2 for 10 special still going on since our server was like we don't have that special anymore.....so the food come out some what hot.....need honey mustard for my teenager chicken fingers which it took a REAL 15 minutes for him to get some. by then his food was damn near cold. but as all teenagers he ate......then server disappeared from the time the food came until we were finish....that's was about 30 minutes or more. we talking while we ate....he lonely asked if we were okay 1time......I FORGOT....had NO utensils had to get out my seat and ask another server for that........I know the children love these places at TIME but will NEVER go back to this one..................

    This establishment has been going down hill, since there has been an increase of patrons that comes from over the bridge. My visit today will be my last the waitress provided me with 3 separate silverware sets each time food was stuck on the utensils. My food was not cooked as I requested (asked for well done burger), also a string of hair was on the table which leads me to believe the table wasn't cleaned. The staff is not the best.

  • Kerrie B.

    Arrived was told it would be a thirty minute wait, no problem. Waiting outside we are with another group waiting for their table. A hostess comes out and in one of the rudest tones I have ever heard goes up to the family and all she says is "you letta? " And the lady replays with yes and the hostess walks back inside expecting them to follow. At first I thought her name might be yuletta but no.. So waiting longer outside with just my group this time waiting for a "you kerrie" a large group comes out the door and while they are walking out we hear this very loud hip hop music flow out of the doors. This group is only talking about how loud the music got and how they could not hear one another. Since I was down from New York to see friends and family on base we were going to dinner to catch up. Two people from our group went inside to see if the music was just loud around the bar and maybe the sitting area was a little farther away and you could hear yourself think. That was not the case. Keep in mind we are a group in our low 20s so for us to think the music was inappropriate (both in lyrics and volume) this should tell you something. We (very politely) asked the hostess if the music was going to stay this loud (or maybe it was just a requested song or something) the reply we got back went as follows "uh yeah Saturday is dj night we don't turn that down" I didn't know tgi Fridays had dj night! I have been to many Fridays but this seemed more like a night club than anything else. Can't comment on the food we left after that comment

    This Fridays is awful !! Drinks terrible, couldn't even fill my cocktail glass. Service terrible, they don't care. Food burnt.

    If it were possible I would have given this restaurant negative4 stars. There was so much wrong with it I don't know where to begin. Horrible. slow service. Food took forever to be served and when it was the avocado in the club sandwiches was literally rubber. One of the diners with us ordered steak tacos and the rice was still in the microwavable bag! I can't believe anyone pays to eat there. It is awful.

  • Ryan J.

    A friend of mine dubbed this location TGI FIGHTERS! because he's witnessed several violent outbursts from the patrons of this location. The entertainment value keeps him coming back. Apparently people have become so unruly that there is a need for ARMED security guards over the weekend. And I'm not just talking a few grunts checking IDs out front. This place is protected by beefy, male gorillas who are combat loaded and packing heat. I like people watching as much as the next guy and the prospect of seeing anyone forcibly removed over a dispute concerning chicken fried steak is hilarious. Additionally, when there is the remote possibility that someone might get their dome split for skipping out on a $30 tab, disrespecting somebody's weave, chipping the gold embossing on an Affliction T-shirt, throwing drinks, or CUSTODY BATTLE, I am headed right over! Unfortunately, on the Friday evening I went over, the only real action was a dine-and-dash group who skipped out by way of the emergency exit, thus tripping the alarm system. But as I drank a delicious (and affordable!) Patron Cosmo Rita Shaker, I could tell that major shit had gone down here before. Anyone could see that the staff had thousand-yard-stares and the security guards were ready for anything. The service here is brisk and efficient. Depending on your level of sophistication, your enjoyment of the food may vary. No matter who you are, however, you will feel as though your presence really "classens up the joint." Be forewarned that the temperature here is meat locker cold - a technique which is typically used within the United States Prison System in an attempt to keep the inmates in a docile, sedated state. You may want to bring a jacket no matter the season. Also, you might be advised not to use the rest room alone. One thing for sure: I will come back again!

    My waiter was super nice... Forgetful, but he might have been a little slow....? He mumbled a little when he talked, and it was always rushed, so I don't know. And I'm serious, I'm not trying to be an asshole. But my food was great and my drink was strong. I had the Jack Daniel's ribs with a side of loaded mashed potatoes and broccoli. I asked for the broc to be well done, but I guess that was overlooked in the kitchen because it wasn't. I had a Patron margarita and it was niiiice! Gave my waiter a 40% tip. Can't go wrong with the JD ribs! They were tender and hot. I enjoyed!

    Ok. So... typically, we avoid casual dining chains. There's something super unappealing of eating something designed somewhere in corporate-land. We went there for lunch after all of our usual spots were experiencing heavy volumes. This Applebee's isn't mind-blowingly good, but we were impressed. The Korean Tacos were innovative and the Jack Daniel's Chicken Sandwich seemed to be made with at least a modicum of love. But the server, a tall Black dude, really put our experience over the top. He was not only friendly, but elevated the mood of this otherwise drab-looking establishment. If I had a choice on Friday night, sure I would go somewhere else. But compared to Chili's and the other cookie-cutter chains/franchises, this T.G.I.F. reigns king. 8/10

    I sat at the bar and saw the bartender struggle pulling the seal off of a mixer bottle. When she couldn't get it she pulled it off with her teeth and began pouring the contents in a pitcher. Sanitation....0 Common since....0 Management....0 Another bartender was coming on shift and walked by my seat...stunk of cigarettes and weed. I saw people walk in and have to wait for a hostess that never showed up or greeted them.

    Saying this place is BAD is an understatement. On July 4th, my husband and I decided to grab an early dinner before the fireworks started. We originally intended to hit one of our favorite spots on Rt 1...Famous Dave's, but there was a line out the door. We decided to go to TGI Friday's on a whim (because it was close and we had never been to this one before). When we walked in, there seemed to be a few people waiting for tables so we decided to sit in the bar area. We weren't sure if we should seat ourselves so decided to wait and ask the hostess (who was nowhere to be found). She did finally appear to take a call and though we were standing right in front of her while she was on the phone, ignored us and walked away again when she was done with the call. FINALLY another guy comes from the back and we ask if we can sit in the bar area, which WAS a seat yourself sort of area....If the original hostess would have acknowledged our exsistance we could have found that out MUCH earlier. Our server was nice (not good at his job, but nice) but that is the ONLY good thing I can write about this place. We both ordered hamburgers (medium). When the food arrived both our burgers were BURNED and mine had a piece of lettuce the size of my pinky finger...seriously?!! Who is working in the kitchen that doesn't give that much of a sh** about what they are sending out to the customers...I showed the server the tiny little piece of lettuce and my husband told our server that he should tell the people in the kitchen they should try caring a little bit about what they are sending out....he said he would bring me out another piece of lettuce, but I said no, at that point it was just a matter of principle (besides, I know that second piece of lettuce would have come out with some sort of bodily fluid on it). Needless to say, this is not a place I would EVER return to...EVER

    First problem is the parking, although in a shopping mall, convenient parking is a premium. Thanks to Virginia's smoking ban you have to walk through a gauntlet of smokers to enter the building and even though a sign is posted to stay 25 feet away from the door, my guess is that that rule is not strictly enforced. We ate here on a Sunday during football season and could barely carry a conversation due to the excessively loud volume of the game being shown in the bar area. I don't think there was a spot in the restaurant where the audio from the game could not be heard. Nice if you want to hang out with the buddies and listen to a game, but not what you're looking for when taking the family out to dinner. Our waitress seemed like she had somewhere else she wanted to be and thus service was lacking and forget about a pre-bus those dirty dished, I'm guessing, are required to stay on the table as long as you are there. The food was somewhere between OK and poor. Honestly we only went there because we had a coupon, but was it worth what we saved ... clearly not

    This is the worst Fridays I've ever been to. The kitchen manager PAUL was a complete douche bag. He was VERY rude to me and my girlfriend. The food is pretty bad. The only thing good I can say about our experience was our waiter Travis; he was a sweetheart. Please do not come here. Please read these horrible reviews and be advised.

    LOUD! Seriously they are screaming in the kitchen, banging things, throwing stuff and the place is sticky. Stopped because we were hungry bad mistake, been to many Fridays in my day and bay far the most disappointing visit ever. Will rethink next time I am hungry in this area.

    This place is always hit or miss. Never consistent in service. Sometimes I have received excellent service, other times not so much. I keep coming back because they close at 2am soooo I can eat rather late.....as I typically sometimes do. From now on I just don't take it. If I don't like the bartender or the waitress I just ask for a different one. Some of the staff that work there are on point....so I just find the diamond in the rough.

  • Tee G.

    The first and last time I ever sat at this Fridays. We all sat down at the table and waited about 15 minutes for drinks...asked for our waiter. They kept serving people around us but wouldn't even ask what we wanted to eat. We all had our menus so it was obvious we hadn't been served yet. 45 minutes in we finally left the place... really terrible experience. Avoid this location at all costs.

    Absolutley the WORST service I have ever had! It was packed around 7, so we snagged a table in the bar thinking we would get faster service. I stood near a dirty table waiting for someone to clean it and no one did. When I finally stopped a waiter he said he thought I was trying to pay. Pay? Why would I be standing next to your dirty table wanting to pay? Do you not remember who just sat there!? We ordered drinks and an appitezer which took a good 20-30 minutes to get to us. Finished that, waited around another half hour for the sever to even come back and take our order. We order a couple of different beers from the last time and then a different person comes up to us 15 minutes later with Coors Light. WTF? We order Sam Adams, told the lady and she walks away. 10 minutes later another girl comes over with 2 Coors Light... AGAIN! I told her that we just had this happen and told the lady that that wasn't our drink. Finally get the right drinks and our food, don't see the server again until after we've been done eating for 5-10 minutes. A quick casual dinner turned in to an almost 2 HOUR event! Yes, 2 hours! How is the crowd there on a Friday night? Absolutely ghetto. So ghetto and trash in fact, they have 2 paid security guards standing there just to watch the bar area and make sure it doesn't get out of control! T.G.I.Friday's doesn't have a great menu anyway, but we had a coupon. Definitely not worth the trouble. It will probably be another year before I make my way to this place.

    I decided to eat here before reading any review. After a long day in DC we decided to try this place. So we walk in and the place is not that crowded yet we had to wait ovet 5 minutes for a table of 5. The host guy was useless. He asked how many, we said 5, he said ok and left. I observed him wandering around aimlessly. We got seated by our waitress. I ordered a Guinness on tap. It seamed flat so I sent I back. The waitress was told by bar that it was fine because the keg was just changed out the day before. She apologized and offerred me something different. I just drank it. I ordered the blue cheese burger cooked medium. I got a warm over cooked burger with unseasoned warm fries. Neither was as hot as it should be. Other orders at our table came out wrong in that they ordered bbq wings and got buffalo. I do not know if the kitchen was having a bad night but for a big chain I would expect better quality and higher standards but tonight they lacked. As I sat and waited for dinner I read a few reviews and everything I read was true about here. I did discuss my displeasure with my waitress and told by no means was it against her. I don't think I will be going back to this or any other TGI Fridays for a long while.

    Had lunch here today. I had the spicy craft beer cheese burger with seasoned fries. Fantastic! It was everything I expected, delicious and spicy! Waitress was friendly, courteous, and fast!

    Well it's Friday's, good mix of people at the bar. Decent appetizers, that's usually worth the happy hour price of 1/2 off, and cheap happy hour drinks. I usually get pretty good service here, and I don't think I've ever been disappointed when leaving. Really can't say too much about the place, just because its Friday's. You usually know the rundown.

    This was my first and last time coming here. My boyfriend and I recently moved into the area and when we started looking for late night eats, we were pleased to find that with an incredibly short drive, we could have a sit down meal that came with service. We did get a meal, and service... sort of. When we first arrived the bar was full with customers, and there was no hostess to greet us. We flipped through the menu after five minutes of waiting to be acknowledged. We started to wonder if we were supposed to seat ourselves but the clipboard with seating charts suggested otherwise, so we continued to wait. Another five minutes passed, and we began discussing calling it a night when the hostess finally showed up. We were seated off to the side and were told that our waitress would be with us shortly. What the hostess meant to say was - our waitress would be with us when she pleased (meaning, when she was done flirting with the four guys in the booth across from us). We each ordered a drink and then perused the menu. Drinks came about ten minutes later while our waitress bounced back over to the guys who were taking advantage of the friends and family discount by ordering a continual stream of food. Finally we placed our orders, and after being asked to repeat the sides and how we wanted our steaks cooked (we were asked no less than three times as our waitress took our order by memory), we finally settled in and tasted our drinks. I ordered a "specialty" drink. A "'punky" cosmo that used cotton candy. The cotton candy did not completely mix in, so the drink was gritty, and had to be stirred often because otherwise it created a layer that tasted syrupy. I couldn't taste the pineapple or lime juice at all. Eventually, I diluted the drink by pouring it over a glass of ice water. Only then was I able to drink it. My boyfriend's drink which was supposed to taste like lemonade, required a squeezed lemon to taste of anything but alcohol, and was not even on par with what you can purchase in a bottle. Neither of us finished our drinks. When our steaks finally arrived, that was the last we saw of our waitress until she came to ask about desert and the check. Our steaks - 10oz ribeyes, were over cooked. We had asked for rare and medium rare, but they came out medium rare and medium. We decided that there was no point in asking to have them redone, and ate what we could. A third of his steak was fat and grissle, as was a quarter of mine. Sadly, the steak fries were the best part of the meal, followed by the slaw. The sweet potato fries and tomato salad weren't worth the effort. Suffice to say, neither of us were pleased with our meal or the service that we received. Including tip, we walked out the door $60 poorer, still hungry, and regretting our decision to not go grab a burger. I'm not sure what this place has going for it, but we wont be back. Our search for a late night stop continues.

    There are going to be people who complain just for the sake of complaining. We went for a late lunch, ordered off the 3-course for $16.99, and the food was cooked correctly, served fast, and the drinks were refilled as needed. The vanilla bean cheesecake was not fresh but frozen, but it still tasted very good. No complaints, and for a chain like Friday's, you have to go in there not expecting 5-star quality, but they did a good job this time, I would go back to try more of their new stuff.

    2.5 I had lunch here last Saturday. It was fine. I am not a huge fan of this chain, but I dig that JD sauce on occasion and this was centrally located to where I was meeting a friend. I ordered the JD chicken (cooked way too much on one side), a side of spinach and sweet potato fries. The server brought out white potato fries instead, but then brought out another serving of the sweet potatoes on the side free of charge. She neglected my friend's spoon when the only thing he ordered was soup, so it was cold by the time he got to eat, which was a bummer. He did enjoy the bread sticks, but hey what's not to love there? I did get some creepy stares from the bar area as I waited to be seated (10 min or so and was the only one in line - nobody even acknowledged my presence!), so if I wanted to dine alone, I would probably stay away from the bar. There are so many better options around. Never say never, but I probably will not be back. Server was a total doll, though.

    I had dinner there with my husband 13 yr old and mother-in-law. They had us wait 10 minutes to be seated in an area that had 8 open tables; our only special request being no booth. We waited another 10 minutes for the waitress to come and take our drink and appetizer orders. 10 minutes later she brought my child and MIL their sodas and said she'd be "right back" with our beer and mixed drink from the bar. When we finally got our drinks, my husband's long island iced tea tasted like melted ice and lemon juice. When he set it back, the waitress actually argued with him about it and took up for the bartender adding that he was "really busy". We ordered the new bacon wrapped stuffed jalepeno appetizer and were shocked to learn that for $10, you get 4. I was further shocked that the waiter who brought it out slid onto the table whilst passing by. There were no plates to share it amongst the table members until we asked for them. My MIL ordered a burger and said it was delicious. My husband ordered a steak and rib combo and said his steak was great, but wondered where the ribs were (they brought them out to him after he asked after them and when he was half way through his meal). My flat iron looked like a sirloin and was ice cold and raw compared to my requested medium rare. My son ordered a medium well sirloin and received a medium rare one. My son and I sent ours back and encouraged my husband and MIL to go on with their meals. 10 minutes after taking up our plates, the waitress returned to ask if we wanted our steaks refired or did we want new ones. I told her I'd already cut mine in half to check if it was cooked right, as she instructed so I didn't know how she was going to refire it. She agreed to start new ones. Why that question wasn't asked when she took up our plates I'll never know. My husband called the manager over and explained to him that we'd had some issues with his restaurant -- poor service, poor food, etc.. He listened intently and apologized and then asked my husband if he could comp his drink. Pretty sure my head swung around at that point and my husband caught it and told him no. Shortly thereafter, he came back by the table and offered to take 50% off the meals for me and my son, which we were grateful for, but wasn't the point of telling him we had issues. All told, we spent near 2.5 hours there for dinner and $75 (with the 2 half priced meals). After reading some of the reviews, I see that some of our issues have been ongoing for some time. Apparently the manager doesn't read them or he'd correct them. We've been to this Friday's before and always enjoyed it, but this time, it was embarrassing and frustrating and exhausting. If we ever return there, I think we'll only go there for drinks and apps and not a meal.

    Been sitting at the bar at the suggestion of the hostess...because they are "short staffed"...she said she'd bring us menus...no menus ten minutes later. Also, another table came in after us and got their drinks and order taken before us. I guess we should have gone next door to Famous Daves. Always check yelp reviews before choosing!!! Update to come based on food. :)

    Talk about an underwhelming experience. As someone who has an urban bias, I was hesitant to venture out into the suburbs, and especially for a TGI Fridays.! I let my co worker talk me into an after work happy hour here, and I was so disappointed. Going in, I had low expectations. Let's face it, it's Friday's. I knew better than to go in requesting a Moscow Mule at the bar. Or to experience a perfectly cooked, succulent steak or burger. But when I saw a Strawberry Mule prominently featured as a new item on the menu, I couldn't help myself. I ordered it, and the bartender had no idea what I was talking about! Once he figured out that I wasn't making the drink up, he had to scramble to find the ingredients for the drink. They weren't even at the bar! About 5 minutes later, he finally made a passable drink. I ordered a burger, which again, was passable. Will I ever go back here? Absolutely not. This place reaffirmed my refusal to frequent sit-down, national chains typically located in the suburbs.

    If I could give it a zero I would. I walked in around 10:30 Saturday night and sat at the bar (night of April 11). Waited for 10 minutes to be acknowledged by the bartender in front of me, only to have her look at me several times without saying a word. Eventually the guy next to me mentioned that I would have to flag someone down if I needed service because that's what he had to do. I had to ask another bartender to give me a menu and as he handed me the menu he asked the other bartender if she had me. He was friendly and cordial. But she did not speak to me after that either. She even cleared some used glasses from right in front of me and still didn't say a word. So this totaled about 10 minutes without her speaking to me. I left after that. I get it. I don't expect to go to Fridays and get pristine service. But of all the Fridays I've been to in the area this one has constantly and continues to be the absolute worst when it comes to basic customer service. It baffles me how other Fridays in the area seem to be fine but this one is consistently bad. It's tough because there are some good bartenders and waitresses there but the ones who are not good are so bad that they overshadow the decent folks and make you not want to come back. Which I will not be doing.

    I had a late night dinner with my girls, I was running late as usual, so while my friends were waiting on me the server didn't put silverware and napkins on the table. Actually, when I finally arrived twenty minutes later and we order appetizers and food. when the server brings the appetizers there still is no napkins, plates or silverware and in top of that she has an attitude. I had not ate all day and on top of the long wait for silverware, tough potatoe skins appetizer and food I had to deal with an unpleasant server. My food was fine when t came out but one of my friends food was incorrect twice. First the sandwich had to go back and then when her sandwich came back the fries were cold. This is unacceptable.

    This is the worst TGIFriday's I've ever seen! The service was awful, we ended up not ordering dinner because it took over 25 minutes just to get a drink.....then it took the waiter 15 more minutes to come back and ask us "what we wanted"....it wasn't busy enough to warrant the poor service and when I told the manager he really couldn't be bothered....this place needs some major training AND new management! (never seen a manager so clueless, thinking that's the problem.??? We went across the street to Chili's and had a great experience...we told everyone there about our experience, and they apologized for THEM! Wow.

    HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE place to go! The waitress named Mane, fraudulently charged my card for $310.50 after she charged my $35.10 tab last Saturday night. The managers there seem to be under the impression that it was ok and a "simple human error"! WHAT? Human error is: not remembering the order was for a medium steak not well done like she did that night, or forgetting to ask a group if they want beer refills as they watch an NBA semi-final game; like she also did! I have been trying to get resolution on this all week and still no one will own up or take care of this mess. I cannot believe the incompetence, ill-attentiveness and just general lack of caring for customers. IF you want to be ignored, eat at a dirty table, and ROBBED go here and get Mane as your server! If you want to have a better experience keep driving 30 seconds in either direction. Outback and Famous Dave's are better restaurants with more integrity and customer care skills.

    We decided to go celebrate my husband's birthday at Friday's with a mutual friend of ours. We walked in and noticed that the place was still pretty empty, granted it was a Monday night around 630pm. We got seated pretty much right away and the girl up front brought us our menus and said Chris would be right with us. We didn't expect "right with us" would mean 20 minutes of flipping through the menu waiting for our server to come. The server asked us if we were ready to order and I said, "water with extra lemon" and he replied with "how about the entrée?" Apparently he was upset that we wanted our drinks first and not the food with the drinks. Regardless, my husband ordered a tall Stella and the filet and ribs. I ordered the Steak Fajitas and our friend ordered a blue slushy drink with fried mozzarella sticks and the bruschetta chicken. So about 30 minutes go by and 2 plates of mozzarella sticks arrive on our table brought to us by some other person that was not our server. We didn't order 2 mozzarella sticks and yes, we still haven't gotten our drinks. We told him we haven't gotten our drinks yet and he said that's Chris's job. Apparently Chris heard us and got our drinks and set them on the table before we could tell him we didn't order 2 mozarella sticks and how I wanted mor lemons. Anyways, after another 15 minutes of no Chris G. my husband went straight to the bar and got the lemon slices on his own. The bartenders were busy chatting and chest pumping with one another to notice. Another 15 minutes we got Chris G's attention that the extra mozzarella was not ours and he just put it on the empty table next door. We should have eaten it because our entrees didn't arrive for another 20 minutes. So, apparently, my husband's entrée was luke warm and I had to wait until my steak and onion platter stopped sizzling before I got my tortillas, lettuce and sour cream (had to request the guac because they forgot it) and then our friend's entrée came. Our friend ordered the peanut butter pie, but after waiting for 20 minutes we got tired and I got up to approach Chris G. to get the pie to go and the checks. He then goes and tells the server to get the pie to go. Hmmm, I thought we ordered the pie 20 minutes ago? So, we were waiting for the pie that never came if we were just content sitting there. I had to go approach the manager. She did apologize and gave us 20% off saying that the front was seating too many people at tables and how each server was to only service 4 tables. 4 tables? And he still couldn't get our order straight?!? Chris G. said that it was not his fault that the kitchen staff was messing up everyone's orders. Hmmm, Chris, thanks for the no-refills, no asking us how our order was, no checking up on us and oh yeah, forgetting about the pie until I asked for it to-go. He then even asked me if I wanted the birthday thing for my husband. I had to say no...who knows how long that would have taken...tomorrow? The service is forgettable, the food is mediocre, and the ambiance is non-existent. Want a better serviced Friday's, go to the one next to Springfield Mall. Don't even bother with Route 1 restaurant chains...Oh yeah, his tip for the night, $2 and that was being overly generous.

    With all the interesting restaurants in the region created by local people, I have to wonder why anyone goes to places like this. I went there to meet someone. We sat in the bar. Service terrible. Food mediocre, of the microwave variety. The menu is a cliche. Decor is cliche. I felt out of place and unwelcome. The staff seemed more interested in whatever was going on between them than what was happening at our table. I guess there is something for everyone. This something isn't for me.

    Waiter was nice so I gave the place an additional star. The floor was dirty. The food was not hot. It tasted ok because I had already anticipated a low grade meal. Our food came out in record time which means it was just warmed up(I guess). Food not fresh at all but it is Fridays so I expect that. My mom forced me to eat here because she had a gift card.

    I guess I should've gone on a Friday and not Sunday...but this had to be the worst Friday's I've ever been to. Now I don't hate Friday's as an establishment, they have pretty good drink specials in certain areas and the food isn't completely horrible...but this one could've been run by a one armed monkey and a rabid dog for a sidekick. I only stopped in here for drinks, as I walked in, the floor kept trying to claim my boots, there was seating available but I had to wait 5 minutes and throw out an "excuse me" to get help...oh and let's not forget the lady that kept starring at me and when I starred back, I got an eye roll...LOL! The bartenders were good at keeping the other guests entertained by flinging drinks in the air and across the bar...thanks for the beer shower! Oh and for some reason there was a wet popcorn smell...Still wanna go?

    Worst Friday's I have ever been to. I love Friday's but not this one. The staff is rude and lazy. ESPECIALLY the wait staff who seats people not based on when they arrived but on how they think they look. I was standing by the hostess stand for a few minutes alone waiting for a table in my work clothes and no one offered to seat me. Two couples came in behind me and the hostess came over and promptly sat them down. The restaurant was packed. The couples even looked at me and giggled as they were being escorted to their table. I turned to leave and the door man said "mam wait let me get someone to help you get a table". He then called a totally different hostess and she said "its very crowded let me see if we even have a table". Unluckily for me, they did. So I sat down. My waitress was quick to come over and take my order, so I thought "ok this is going better". I ordered the usual Jack Daniels Flat Iron Steak - Medium. It came out over cooked and the potatoes were cold and stale. So Gross. I was starving so I ate it as I had to get to Lowes before it closed. It then took another 25 minutes to find my waitress to get the bill because she was off socializing. uggh...then I spent the whole night tossing and turning and sick to my stomach. I will NEVER EVER return to this Fridays ever again....If you have the choice try another one of the chain restaurants at Beacon Mall and not this one!

    Has anybody ever met the manager at this location? I have been there many times and never seen him. The service at this place is very slow. Takes forever to get a drink, order food, get the food, and then get the check. I tried to order to go just now but apparently the girl who answers the phone cannot figure out how to transfer a call to the bar. White collar clientele will not feel comfortable at this place as it requires a security guard.

    Even at 12:30am on a Wednesday night (technically Thursday morning) me and the dh were able to catch a quick bite without any hassle. The server was cordial and attentive. Ordered the California Turkey Burger which was okay...nothing special by far but filling nonetheless. My dh had the Jack Daniel's Chicken (oddly reminiscent of Famous Dave's own Cajun Chicken sandwich); he was satisfied.

    I thought this was a great TGI Friday's! My husband and I went on Saturday for lunch. It wasn't busy. We were at Lowe's, got hungry, and stopped in to eat. The food is just like every other TGI Friday's. Personally I am not a huge fan but they have some decent items. The thing that made me want to write a review was the service. It was great! The server was informative,truthful and attentive. I asked her about their new chicken sandwich with green sauce and the Honey mustard chicken sandwich. She said her preferred the green sauce but the Honey mustard one was more flavorful and probably healthier. I went with the green saice just to check it out and she was right the other probably would have been more flavorful. The green sauce was more like cheese than a sauce but decent. They had run out of the texas toast the sandwich normally is served on and the manager came out and let me know and offered a free dessert. The server followed behind to make sure we were aware and were ok orwanted something else, she too asked about dessert. I thought it was great that they apologized and offered solutions and made sure I was not dissapointed. GREAT service I will definitely be back. The service was much better than any other Friday's I had ever been to.

  • Jenny C.

    I do like coming here, sometimes the service has been awful! I never come for dinner, HH only--and prefer to sit at the bar. Good HH deals though. I also do appreciate a rotating menu, but sometimes their menu/specials rotate a little too much! Also, I don't know what was happening this one day (maybe a full moon?) but crazily the hostess was telling my party (there was three of us), we had to get on the wait list to sit in the bar area. Huh? Not a special holiday or weekend. So I get us on the wait list, twenty minutes later-still waiting, my friend thought maybe the hostess misheard us and assumed we wanted the dining room, so she decided to do what every chain allows, and go directly to the bar. She finds a bar table (no customers, but still had dirty dishes on it, she assumed someone must of JUST left) and sits down, then the manager comes to her and says that she was suppose to get on the wait list, but he's going to be nice to her and allow her to stay seated. So, given the dumb rule, she asks why is that set up that way? And his response was: well if you sit down without being on the wait list, then we don't know which tables to clean. Huh? So you don't normally clean the tables after people leave? Under his watch, nope! The entire time, our table had more dirty dishes than food on it. I think in his head, he really thought it was a good idea because as he elaborated: you might sit down at a table with dirty dishes on it and that table's waiter would assume they're yours even though he/she hasn't not waited on you within the hour (and common sense would not dictate that maybe you're a NEW customer) and because of those pesky dishes that should of been removed in the first place with or without someone sitting there, that waiter may not help you? It's a stupid idea for numerous reasons. Needless to say, we never see that manager there anymore.

    I went there with a friend on Monday night for their happy hour. I ordered a margarita and a soup and she ordered a cosmopolitan and an appetizer. The margarita was disgusting. I'm usually not picky, but I couldn't even drink it. I told the waitress this and asked for a beer instead. The waitress promptly brought out my friends appetizer and I figured since I ordered soup, it would take a little longer to come out. About 35 minutes later the waitress asked if I got my soup and when I said no she said they "must have forgot" and brought out the soup a few minutes later. Finally, without asking if we wanted anything else, she brought us out one check. As both of us wanted to order meals to go, we told her this and asked her if she could split the check. My friend ordered the same soup as I did and I ordered a burger. An hour and a half after we ordered our to-go meals they were finally brought out. When she did bring the separate checks over, she had still charged me for the margarita. At that point I didn't even bother saying anything because I just wanted to get out of there. Don't waste your money. In theory, the happy hour prices are great but the drinks are disgusting and the service is terrible even when there are almost no other customers there. If you do decide to go, I would suggest Tuesday when they have the $3 beers because who can mess up beer?

    Wishing I could give less than one star to this place.. The service is awful and the staff are slow. Every time I get food from here I always order out because dining in leaves you with awful servers... When I order out, it takes at least an hour for them to have my food ready upon my arrival. The food is good, but the service is awful. I wouldn't recommend going to this location if you're looking for a place to eat with a date or friend. Very ghetto location..

    Sub-Standard (I have low standards). One star is generous. 1st impression of pulling into parking lot was employees seen using the prime spots. 2nd impression: the place was maybe 30% occupied, but the "hostess" told us it would be a 15 minute wait. WHAT!?!? ( How about you let me sit at a table with a menu and glass of water for 15 min?) Then, once we were seated and handed menus, we had to wait another 10-15 minutes to order water/drinks.... While the "staff" was occupied giggling and playing grab-ass (including hugging each other). The food was heat-lamp'd and the broccoli soup was not even cooked (dumped right out of a can into the bowl?). I'm not a sharp guy, but I can clearly tell/see that the success of this business is not a concern, much less a priority. Total disaster.

    Wish I could give this place zero stars. Absolutely horrible. I'm surprised it's still open! Waited 20 min for a seat when there were PLENTY of open tables and then waited an additional 40min to order food. No exaggeration. We had to approach our hostess twice during the 40min wait to ask where our server was. She wasn't any help so we finally just asked a random waitress who passed by if she could take our order. We waited another 40min to receive our food. I only stayed because I have a gift card, other than that I would have walked out. This place is trash and the staff looks unprofessional/dirty. I'm seriously considering contacting their corporate office to let them know how bad this location is. Ughhhh. Just don't come here. Save yourself a headache and an empty stomach.

  • Aaron G.

    The service is slow. That should be clear from all the other reviews. We have, in the past, given up on waiting for a table due to the line that forms. Our experience today was nearly the same. It took over an hour to receive two drinks and two sandwiches. I imagine my hamburger must have had to sit around waiting for the other order, as it arrived below room temperature. It also arrived not cooked to order and with tomatoes I asked to be omitted. It makes some sense that the service would be slow enough that my food cooled, but its surprising that they also got it wrong. It was, of course, not very good and not worth the wait/money, despite being a signature Jack Daniels dish. My wife's experience in the bathroom was not something you want to see anywhere near food preparation. No toilet paper and a sink choked with paper towels. There is something very wrong with this restaurant, from top to bottom. It is not just a few slow servers.

    So checked in here earlier. Now for the review. Came for lunch. Really, really slow service. The hostess seated us quickly and the waiter brought drinks quickly. We ordered and waited over 30 minutes for our food. I ordered the steak skewers appetizer ,$7, for my lunch. Honestly it was the smallest appetizer. The 4 very small pieces of meat were tasty enough. The tiny amount of slaw was warm. I tasted it and it was warm and bland. Decided not to chance it so left it uneaten. My husband got the Pick Two for lunch. A bowel of chicken noodle soup and half a California club. The soup bowel was barely half full. The sandwich was fine and they included a handful of lukewarm fries. Overall long wait for small portions of below average food. I would skip this Fridays unless you simply want to hit the bar for drinks. Food is below average and service subpar.

    Dropped in with a friend, last night, and, once again, this Friday's is a complete train wreck. If you're looking for one of the most absolutely bizarre experiences when dining out, then you have to drop by Friday's at Beacon Center, because it's so shocking that you'll be telling all of your friends not to even think about walking into the place. I'm actually shocked that corporate hasn't closed down this location due to its bad food and bad service. What a disaster of a restaurant! Once again, DON'T GO TO THIS FRIDAY'S!

    Normally I wouldn't do a Yelp review for a chain store like this, but this one falls well below the standard. The food is (exactly) the same as all the Fridays, but the service here is terrible. I'll never go back. They basically ignore you. I should have checked other reviews, because it seems like this experience is pretty common. Too bad, because Fridays is typically a go to for me among the chains (good rewards and promotions).

    I went there tonight. I was going to have a few drinks. I sat down, the bartender didn't say hi. She looked ghetto, tattoos all over her, angry mean face. I asked her if they had bud light? She just shook her head yes. I asked her could I get one, another angry nod. She didn't say a word. It was weird, ghetto, unfriendly etc. If I acted like that I'd get fired within days! All the employees were black, pretty much all the customers too. I think the bartenders ghetto attitude scares normal people away. I know it did me. I got bad vibes, changed my mind and walked over to Outback. Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto!

    Stupid me....not going to play this game again... Went into the bar area yesterday evening by myself. (Not going to take the wife with me...see my first review). Sat down at a table. A plesent waiter handed me a menu after a few minutes after sitting down and said he would be back. Call me stupid but gun shy...after 15 minutes of waiting my spider sense went off and I left...did not even get a chance to order. Scratch this place off my list perminantly. Perhaps I should have waited longer....but when I feel like I am wanted in a place, I'll stay...I did not feel wanted....I left. I really wanted to like this place since its close to my work...but alas...it was not ment to be.

    I have given up on the place. I will only come here for a beer and sit at the bar. It is right by my house which is convenient, but the service and food prep is so bad I have just given up. Very Very slow service and the pretty much don't care, to the point where you have to go find the waitress.

    Terrible service. Not the first time I've been here. I've come after work and there's never a hostess. I always have to go to the bar and ask about a hostess. Then our food took 45 mins to come out. I got the mozzarella sticks, loaded baked potato, and wings. I got it as my entree but 45 mins? The food was okay. Nothing amazing about it. The only people who get decent service are the people at the bar.

    I gave the TGI Fridays 4 stars mainly because of the waitress and her awesome service and the fact that we had someone holding the door open for us when we entered and holding the door open again when we were leaving. The food was pretty good too, so there wasn't much to complain about. Our waitress Ashley and that simple gesture of the servers there (holding the door open when we came and left), has a family as fans of their restaurant, even my "picky" daughters really liked this place and were impressed by them...

    My friend and I decided to try TGI Fridays because we love watching football, and don't have NFL Network to watch the Thursday night games. Now to preface, we were totally aware we were going to a chain restaurant, and were not looking for gourmet food or stellar service. Well it's safe to say we weren't proven wrong. To start with, the main reason we went there was for the Thursday night NFL game which start around 8:30 pm. We got there around 8:05, and of the 10 or so TVs in the bar, none had the game on, not a huge deal as we didn't need to see the preshow. At about 8:20 we asked our server if the game was going to be turned on and got an "of course the manger will be working on it". 8:30 comes and goes with no football, by the time our server finally got the remote to turn one of the TVs to the game, 6 minutes of football game time were gone. They should get their act together if they tout their establishment as a place to watch the games, and there was literally no other sporting event on. I had a $3 margarita, which was pretty terrible as it tasted just of bad bottled sour mix, and my friend's long island was no better. We switched to beer/cider pretty quick which were good (but hard to screw those up). Our food was good, not fantastic but as I said we weren't expecting gourmet. We had buffalo boneless wings, a Jack Daniels burger, and a brownie obsession for dessert; all 3 were clear plates by the end. Service was alright, our server was nice, but slow. I'm not sure if it was her or the bar but all 4 drinks took a while to get and it wasn't that busy. We had low standards for a chain restaurant, but definitely were turned off. Next time we are looking for a place to watch the game we will probably head to Chili's across the street.

    Lord Jesus!!! Help this place and these unprofessional people!! Our server was great and patient with our many requests until the end. An extra drink was added to our tab (mysteriously). Manager was ghetto and unprofessional as well. Food was good and timing was okay. If u don't care about professionalism this is the place for you!

    I ordered carry out last night at 8:05pm. I finally received it at 9:00pm after waiting for 45 minutes in the restaurant. Then, after I got home, I discovered that the order was wrong and had to take it back for refund. To top it off, the restaurant was not busy. This is the last time that I will place a carryout order with then.

    I was thinking wings, so Friday's it is! I go in and its not crowded but someone did say they would be with me shortly. The waitress was pleasant and the food was just okay. I went to the bathroom and the floor was sticky and the smell was gross like it was mopped with dirty water. Other than that, my experience wasn't as bad as others, but I won't make it a point to return to this location.

    I have been to this Fridays several times ....but last night I couldn't believe the disrespectful way the bartender was treating me and my friends We come in and set at in the bar area and waited for 15 to 20 min before we have got a bartender attention and when we did get his attention he told us he wasn't serving no one then went to the other side of the bar and serve three other people The manager notice how upset I was getting and come over and try to help us but how it seen to me he couldn't even control his staff .... it was just sad

    If there was a " - 5 Stars's" , I'd give this ghastly place those! Gross, under staffed, food server was on another planet, kept disappearing bringing back wrong order! Greeter, ridiculous - 90% of place was Empty, yet said we had to wait 15 mins for a table!! At 7 pm! Ordered sirloin with small order of bb ribs. Steak was god only knows what - raw and inedible . Ribs passable. Server very busy at all other tables that came in 20/30 mins after we did. Loud offensive language constantly around us. Abrasive atmosphere and it should be closed as the standard for this USED to be pretty good. Just the pits! Run!

    I'm not sure what happen to this place, it's not the same. The service was terrible, we sat at the bar table for about 15 minutes before someone cleaned it off. Like really?! Our food was mediocre, nothing special; it took my sister almost an hour to receive a beer (sad). This place use to be the spot and now it's dead!! We went on a Saturday night around 8-ish.

  • Ricky J.

    Worst. Place. Ever. Didn't even eat, left after going to the bar, and waiting 15 minutes for someone to ask if we want a drink even. Oh, and before that I had to clean our own table. So no one cleaned it, and no one came by to ask if we even wanted a drink. Then when we asked the host, who was probably no older than 16, to be sat at a table he said it would be another 15 minutes!!!! We told him we had been waiting 15 minutes and even cleaned our own table. His response was "...I have to clean tables too..."!!! The only reason this hole got 1 star is the manager gave us some coupons for our next visit to any Fridays. We drove to the Tyson's one immediately after. Don't waste your time. You're better off at the Boston Market or Chipotle across the street...

    AVOID THIS FRIDAY'S AT ALL COST! Well, if you do go, you'll find out your 'cost' will be an absolute rip-off. This Friday's is located along the infamous 'Route One/Richmond Highway Corridor', so, that being said, people who live in this area don't usually find 'fine dining' anywhere on the strip, especially, though, at Friday's. First of all, service at this Friday's is absolutely TERRIBLE! We unfortunately dropped by the property on Tuesday evening, March 18, close to 9:30 pm. The restaurant part of Fridays was virtually empty, although the bar was somewhat full. Despite that fact, it seemed that they were somewhat overstaffed, with a lot of servers on the floor. Our server was completely and absolutely clueless, but she was polite. She seemed to be a bit 'out there', though, pensive, at best. We ordered boneless chicken wings, with barbeque sauce. The wings came out in a reasonable time, so there were no surprises there. But we both had ordered salads, which seemed as if Friday's might have had to go over to Outback or Chili's as they took almost 40 minutes to get to our table. That said, both salads were AWFUL, and really not worth eating. We both had chicken in our salads and it was overcooked, tough to chew, and lacked any flavor. The greens of both salads were okay, but they could or should have trimmed off a lot of stems. By the way, the whole time we're eating dinner, in our plain view, were two servers playing grab ass with each other, one big guy with a slight beard, and one overweight server with tattoos. They couldn't keep their hands off of each other, with both of them passing by countless numbers of dirty tables probably from an earlier dinner rush. Our overall experience at this mismanaged Friday's: WORST FRIDAY'S EVER! The lack of attention to detail makes me wonder why senior staff at corporate doesn't come in and fire everyone and retrain a new crew, or just shut the place down. As I mentioned, the management of this Friday's doesn't care about customers, and it shows. And, overall, corporate apparently doesn't care about this location, either. They probably figure that it's the 'Route One/Richmond Highway Corridor' and they can't do any better, anyways.

    I've been to this Friday's three times, I believe, and have had a great experience each time. The servers were friendly, the service was prompt, and the food is always delicious! I hope to be going back sometime in the near future.

    Just awful service. I've been here twice. First time, in February, our waitress was slow in every respect; she took forever to show up to the table in the first place, then was very slow bringing drinks, taking the order, bringing the check... you know, all those waitressy things that in general are associated with good service and ultimately with a tip reflecting appreciation of same. Last night took it up a notch though. We were given our menus by the host and instructed to find a table we liked. This turned into searching for a table that wasn't littered with the previous diners' plates, napkins, and/or crumbs. Found a clean table, finally, then commenced to wait. No sign of a waitress anywhere. 15 minutes later the host walked by, avoiding eye contact, and when I gained his attention he said someone would "be right with us". 5 minutes later and nothing had yet happened so we walked out. Never again. I echo Ricky J.'s sentiment: Worst. Place. Ever.

    Arrived and the place was about 60% full. we were told to wait 15 min for a table. We waited for a waitress/waiter and ...our Waitress kept disappearing for long periods of time Another waitress broke glass across from us and instead of apologizing to everyone in that area she said "Oh I always do that " Food took long to be served (remember it was only about 60%full . Food came... my food (sizzling chicken /shrimp and cheese) well lets call it burned cheese . I attempted to ask my server on why it came out so but .. she was to busy along with other servers and host in huddle just beside us discussing how "it was a large party coming and how no one wanted to take them . food was ok nothing special ..except the shrimp were awesome we ate our meal , sat talked and were ready to go ...but again no signs of waiter . we had to get someone else to find her and have her check us out . I was really expecting better service due to the time and ration of guest to staff on a afternoon. If I do come again I will only be going to the bar , I know its a chain restaurant but good service should still be implemented .

    Service was horrible!! The host was too busy to acknowledge us when taking our name. The place was half empty, it took very long to sit once we sat, out server did not even take our drink order instead she was cleaning the table next to us and chatting with the customers on that table. If I could I would give it half a star.

    I see what everyone said about their service. Restaurant was barely half full but they gave a 15 minute wait. After 20 minutes and overhearing how they're swamped due to a computer outage, we decided to just leave. Looks like they're kinda used to people just getting fed up and leaving. Also, they said their credit card machines were broken so it was cash only. And, because of the credit card machine failure, someone who ordered ahead left empty handed. Had to leave her fully prepared food behind because she didn't have the cash to pay and the on-duty manager said she wasn't going to compensate the lady for anything. The place is broken and the management doesn't seem to care.

    Arrived on Sunday to the bar and the humorless bartender with bad jokes. The margaritas were not filled to the brim of the glass and the potato skins were lackluster. I came to this fridays for a break from PG County BUT the awful svc and weak drinks will not have me coming back anytime soon.

About TGI Friday

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.
