T G I Friday's

Long wait times!!! Move on!

I frequent this Friday's location due to it's proximity to my place of employment. It is your standard American chain restaurant with the usual bar-food offerings along with a full menu.

What really makes this location stand out for me is the bar staff--they are the reason I keep going back. I never sit in the dining room of this restaurant because most of the bar staff is so wonderful! My drink and meal orders are promptly handled and I am always treated very nicely. You don't even need to order alcohol to sit over there, which is great!

The food is good, too. I've never ordered anything at Friday's that I didn't like. My boyfriend normally gets something from the Jack Daniel's menu which he is quite fond of, and I typically go for a burger or pasta. Their New York Cheddar and Bacon Burger is always good; it has a huge patty covered with cheese, crispy onion straws, crisp lettuce and all the other usual fixings. The Bruschetta Chicken Pasta is also pretty decent, it is a spaghetti dish topped with bruschetta, grilled chicken, and balsamic vinegar which makes for a savory combination. Sometimes the spaghetti is overcooked a little, but that doesn't happen too often.

My only complaint is the service in the dining room. It really does suck in comparison to the service in the bar area. My boyfriend and I sat in the dining room once and waited nearly 20 minutes without anyone taking our drink orders. We just picked up our stuff and moved to a table in the bar!

Typical chain restaurant with a waitress that doesn't listen. I had the New York bacon and cheddar burger.  Of course it came out wrong but I didn't complain.  The burger was nothing special; just a typical burger you can get at any chain.  I would save your money and try going to a locally owned restaurant where the staff care about what their customers want.
