G.I. Friday's

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

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!

Had a going away party to a great boss and the service was very mediocre, The manager came over and tried to help our party of seven but was pretty bad with the service as well. We ALL had a not so good experience, next time we are taking the party somewhere else. They lost our business.
