G.I. Friday's

I am a transplant to Rehoboth from the DC area and TGIF was a favorite lunch hangout of mine when I was still living there so I do like to stop in to the Rehoboth TGIFridays for lunch now and then.

Food-wise, I am pretty happy with the place. I don't order a WIDE variety of stuff from their menu as I have my favorites and usually order them, and then try a couple new things when they add new stuff to the menu. I generally get sandwiches, salads or appetizers at lunch, so I can't speak to the more "main meal" offerings.

I was recently in twice--once alone, once with a friend--and had two relatively new menu items off the appetizer or "share" (a sort of tapas) menu. I really enjoyed the chicken skewers that had a soy-type caramelization on them. Salty, but delicious. I also tried the Thai pork tacos, which are almost ridiculously tiny but tasty. I had issues with finding pork in one of them but they were otherwise good.

I don't generally have much of a problem with service at this location. What I HAVE had a substantial problem with is judgemental, hauty/snotty hosts/hostesses. This was not a problem on my 2 recent visits, but I had completely stopped going there for some months due to a particular young snotty host who treated me like dirt because I came in for lunch alone and deigned to request a booth, even when I came in right at the start of lunch service and the restaurant was EMPTY! He actually as much as told me that I wasn't worthy of a booth.

I am very short and have arthritis. I ask for a booth everywhere I go because most of the chairs at the tables in restaurants are excrutiatingly uncomfortable for me. This should not be a problem as long as I'm getting there when there are no or few other patrons in the restaurant.

When I lived in the DC area, there were 2 restaurants I stopped going to because of the snotty attitude toward my dining alone, whether I asked for a booth or not. Restaurants need to understand that my money is just as good as the next customers and I have a right to be served with dignity and respect!

Service was great. As far as the food well the fries were ok. Oh yeah my 5 year old liked the Mac&Cheese. Looking back I should have ordered off this kids menu.

We waited over 30 minutes for seating when we were told 10-20 minutes.  We finally got seated and were ready to order.  Took over 30 minutes for appetizers.  Then even longer for entrees.  Had we not ordered appetizers we would not be well. Total dining experience started at 7:15 and ended at 9:15.  That was way too long waiting for food.

We had to ask for refills etc.  so service was amiss and there were not that many people left after we got seated so but not sure what is up with the kitchen.  They should have been able to get the good out faster to get diners out but for whatever reason they cannot make it work.  Our server did his best but this was not a good dining experience with kids complaining about hunger from waiting for food to come.
