Diabetics at TGI Friday
If you're a diabetic, then you must be extra careful while dining at TGI Friday. Try the salad menu at TGI Friday to keep your sugar and sodium intake in check. Soups are great to keep you full and satisfied without munching on the unhealthy greased meat-based dishes on TGI Friday menu.
Foods to Avoid at TGI Friday for Diabetics:
Sugar and sodium intake are crucial if you have diabetes. While the salads are the best option for you at TGI Friday, it is recommended to avoid the Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad containing over 1000 calories and 1,650mg sodium. Also, skip Warm Pretzels with Craft Beer-Cheese dipping sauce as it contains more than 3000mg sodium. It is wise to skip the dessert for diabetics, especially the Brownie Obsession topped with Vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and pecans.

About TGI Friday
TGI Friday is a casual dining American restaurant chain founded in 1965. The term “TGI” is an acronym for Thank God It's and together the name of the restaurant is often announced as Thank God It's Friday. Over the years of its existence, the TV commercials and other advertisement streams have also twisted the phrase a bit and used it as Thank Goodness It's Friday. The restaurant serves alcoholic beverages primarily. However, they are also known for their low-carbohydrate and low-fat menu items to promote a healthy lifestyle. TGI Friday also offers gluten-free items on its menu for those with gluten intolerance.
Besides the cool name, TGI Friday also has an interesting background story of its origin. The founder of the restaurant Alan Stillman lived in a New York-based neighbourhood full of a young crowd, especially girls from the airline and fashion industry. He started the first TGI Friday restaurant in New York in the hope of meeting single women as there weren't any such public place for young men and women to meet. He invested $5000 on his own and borrowed another $5000 from his mother to buy a bar named The Good Tavern and renamed the premise to Thank God It's Friday, inspired from an expression during his time at Bucknell University.

Good heavens, why are you thinking of eating here? Overpriced and over processed . Waitress suggested lemonade, perhaps a raspberry one. Imagine my surprise when it appeared I was served a melted blue snow cone with two maraschino cherries. And I'm not twelve. I tried the lunch special of cesear salad/shrimp entree. Portion was fine for the price, but was the salad ever bland. At least the lettuce was fresh. Paul Newman's dressing is better. Three tiny croutons on top and flavorless cheese. Meh. Shrimp seemed to have heavy flour breading with pepper and cayenne to disguise the flour taste. I won't be going back. You want to go chain, at least go to one with better food or better pricing. Service was fine.

My boyfriend and I went on a Wednesday night, there was no wait and our waiter was awesome! There were $5 apps and $5 drink specials. We ordered the wings which were great and I ordered the orange cooler drink and my boyfriend ordered the blueberry Long Island. My drink was way too sweet so we ended up switching drinks. Food- I order the chicken and shrimp and he ordered the ribs and steak. The food was good for the price but was not mouthwatering.
(4)Mica H.
Bottomless boneless buffalo wings for $10... That's a great deal, but the meat is not that great... The food is good, as can be expected from a national chain. I wish Friday's would get away from Jack Daniels sauce. Jack Daniels is ok for a bar, but STOP putting it on everything. It's seriously horrible on everything. Please stop! That being said, I'll come back... But it won't be my first choice.
(3)Lonnie M.
Went for lunch. Had the chicken skewers. Really good spicy but not too. Partner had shrimp very good he said and he's a complainer! Server pleasant and efficient. No complaints
(4)Dr. J C.
Look - My wife likes this place so I go there now and again just to make her happy. I know it violates the bro code, but I have to sleep with her. Me personally, I could care less about Jack Daniels sauce (which is basically reconstituted dried onion and molasses with some other 'secret' ingredients. Too costly for what you get. 2 thumbs down.
(2)Elizabeth R.
TGI Friday's is not a place you go expecting gourmet food. However, I was pleasantly surprised by my lunch the other day. I tried the 2 for $12. It came with a FULL appetizer and entree. Wow. I think, hmmm, how can they make money off of this. Nevertheless, it is comfortable and a great place to grab an easy meal with a friend. I had the mozzarella sticks and the chicken with angel hair pasta. The sauce was balsamic based with fresh chopped herbs and tomatoes. The food was filling and a great comfort meal. I had one of their specialty iced teas and was not overly impressed by it. I do like their drink specials and they have something different to take advantage of each day. Overall, for a chain place, this place is pretty decent.
(3)Ashleigh C.
I was there last night for dinner while on a trip. The fried green beans were as good as back home and my steak was cooked just as ordered for the sizzling steak and spinach. Bartender suggested a great local beer called spotted cow and gave me a few tips on spots to ck out. Great service!
(5)Bill S.
Started going here in college with my roommates when they had $5 burger Tuesdays. Yeah its a chain but they seem to do it right. Menu has the standard fare, with noticeable twists. They recently changed the recipes for some of their apps, not for the better in my opinion, but the green beean fries are my favorite. Waiters are generally really good, and their stripes card gets you free chips and salsa, as well as points for free food and desserts. Vanilla bean cheesecake is a wonderful way to end your tgif dining!
(4)Dominique B.
I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but the food was good and our server, Russ, really made our experience a great one. He was super attentive and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. Wonderful way to end a girls night with my daughters. Thank you Russ!
(4)Alison K.
Extremely slow drink service. Each drink took about 10 minutes to get to the table. Food was just okay and after all the waiting and poor service we were given a bill of 64 dollars for one app and 4 drinks. My double skky mixer was 12 dollars. Aka a full price single simply doubled, which, as a bartender I can tell you makes no sense. After expressing our concerns, the manager came over and was nothing but confrontational saying that was just the policy and too bad. I said okay that's fine just run my card and he continued to explain things away when I clearly had no further desire to talk to him. Pretty brutal experience.
(2)Pauline J.
They're not bad. The steaks are pretty good. The staff is usually good. I've had a few problems, but not enough to hate the place. Just enough to come less frequently. I love their appetizers. The drinks are usually over priced.
(3)Rikky S.
We stopped in for lunch today with my grandchildren, aged 4 and 1. We asked for a booth and a high chair and booster chair. After being seated at a booth and given menus, we were informed that we couldn't have a high chair because it would impede the walkway. We were moved to a table with narrow wooden chairs. We expressed concern about using a booster chair since there was no way to secure it. The hostess basically shrugged and walked away. My granddaughter ended up sitting on her knees at the table. I will say that the food was great as always. As we were leaving, I spoke to the manager and expressed my concern and disappointment about the seating. Her response was that 'lots of people sit their children at booster chairs at the tables.' I really don't care what other people do. I don't want my grandchildren falling off a chair at booster seat height. And I would like to see a little more concern than just a shrug.

Horrible food no flavor I went with my boyfriend he had gotten the boneless buffalo chicken wings and I got the shrimp and chicken pasta and we shared the Mac and cheese appetizer bites he had a couple of bites of my food and on the way home I started feeling sick when we got home he felt the same way and turns out he's got food poising I wouldn't go here again!
(1)Shelly O.
Great food! Prices are very reasonable for the amount you get. Always very busy when I've been in, yet service is still great!
(4)Corey K.
I only like this TGIFriday's. Their service is very good. I have never had to wait more then 10 minutes to get a table. The food there is very good. Always consistent. I always usually order their House Sirloin-10oz. It is always juicy and flavorful. They always keep sodas and other drinks full and their manager always checks on you to make sure that your experience is a good one. Keep up the good work!!!
(4)Nina O.
The Korean tacos are not half bad, and the kid really likes the burgers.
(3)Ian E.
I stayed away from this chain for years, but after a business trip forced me into their doors multiple nights, I gave my home location another chance. The food is predictable but getting more adventurous over the years, and the korean tacos are pretty exotic. I try not to eat here without looking at the nutritional information in advance; the one time I didn't, I ate half an appetizer (loaded baked potatoes) and a salad and found out that was 2100 calories. There were also pretty substantial delays in service. My other half dozen visits have had excellent service and well prepared food. Maybe the staff wasn't at its best because they were here on New Year's Eve? Though I seldom use it, they have a very nice drink list, especially if you're a fan of tequila. It's also one of the few restaurants I know that offers reward points for eating there. All in all, I choose to go here for a standard night out with people who can't agree on what they want to eat.
(3)Kelly B.
My boyfriend and I went here because we had a $25 gift card and thought we'd get a cheap meal. Too bad TGI Fridays is incredibly overpriced. Maybe it's my own fault for choosing something besides a hamburger, but the pasta dinner I ordered was just awful. It was clearly a frozen meal they just heated up (I asked for no mushrooms and they told me it wasn't possible). I know many restaurants do this, but when I get a $50 bill for food I could have heated up at home it doesn't make me happy. Might as well go to Denny's. Same quality food, way better price.
