Reviews & Ratings for T.G.I. Friday's

Every night is the weekend at this bistro, where families enjoy American kitsch and cuisine alongside partying singles.

In Short
The much-copied look of hardwood floors, decorative stained glass, checked tablecloths, brass rails and walls filled with knickknacks has been a staple at this restaurant franchise. Originally a hit for its frisky bar scene, Friday's is now known just as much for its kid-friendly entrees. The menu alternates between typical American fare (salads, potato skins, Angus burgers and grilled chicken) and modestly international cuisine like fajitas, wraps and pot stickers.

Below Standards

Years ago, I used to go to TGIF and have a good meal and time. About a month ago, my wife and I went to this one; what a disappointment!!!!! Extremely overpriced for below average food. No wonder why they do not post their menu anywhere, only after you are ready to order!!!! I will never go there again.

Poor, Very Poor

We went to TGI's as it was across the street from our hotel. The food was appalling. Baked potato was stone cold, the service was very unfriendly, the restaurant was very noisy, and it was very expensive for what it was. Only go here if your starving and can;t be bothered to cross the street to go to the Tick Tock Diner.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: , Ambiance, Price

Eat here if you're a masochist

When did TGI Friday's become hell? I'll tell you. Over the past year...

'Twas a beautiful wintery day in the heart of Manhattan whence we stumbled upon what we once knew to be good food at reasonable prices. We were seated, apparently in the screaming children's section, and much to our discontent found the menu to be both stunted and extremely overpriced. If I'm going to pay $50 for lunch for two people, I could just go across the street to Tir Na Nog. Anyway, back to the point...We finally got our order in and two different waittresses tried to give me french onion soup when I ordered a salad. When we finally got the right food, the breadstick was soggy and right out of the fridge and the sandwich and breading on the shrimp were soggy as well. Still reading? Still considering eating there? Good luck sucker.

Why? I mean, why?

by razing at Citysearch

Imagine yourself in the center of Manhattan, the cultural and culinary center of America. You have hundreds of varieties of cuisine at all price ranges within walking distance. Given these facts, why would anyone honestly wait 30 minutes to sit in pre-packaged atmosphere, eat average (but overpriced) food, and be bombarded with opportunities to buy the same souvenirs they offer at the TGI Friday's across the country? Those who eat there are most likely victims of marketing.

• Pros: No glaring health, safety, or fire violations.
• Cons: Full of mindless, uncreative, timid sheep.

Good service

by susanchenelle_citysearch at Citysearch

Decent food at decent prices, which is hard to find in midtown. Service is good, sometimes too good--they get a little overzealous with the drink refills, but that's certainly better than the opposite.

• Pros: Service
• Cons: Noisy
