G.I. Friday's

Sucked tonight. Service slow food got cold while eating. Not good will not be back for dinner anytime soon. Guess because they are  a national chain they don't have to give good service.

I have to give this a 3-star for overall value.

Don't get me wrong, the food was very good. The Green Bean Fries are a good starter (probably the cheapest app), and wife had the triple stack Reuben with side salad (very small). I had the Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. That was nicely drizzled with a slightly sweet balsamic or BBQ dressing. The Reuben is very substantial...the triple is for three slices of bread. Wife thought it was a bit light on sauerkraut. Her side salad was VERY small. I had this on a previous visit with the seasoned fries and it was a 4.5* meal in my view. I can do without the extra slice of bread...just bring on the generous ingredients.

Where I come out on this is for these three items plus one iced tea the tab with tax was $29.55--not including tip. That's a bit steep for lunch at a "casual" chain. So figure $50-60 for lunch if you add two drinks and a dessert to share.

I am one that thinks most of the chains are hiking prices much faster than the cost of living, and I can't keep up at their pace.  So while the food is overall 4, service average (3) and value 2, the net score is 3.
