T.G.I. Friday's

Don't know what has gone on before here, or in the evenings, but we stopped here to dine around 3:30 PM and everything was done just right (you see we were in town for a medical visit and decided to stop).

We ordered a full rack of those Jack Daniels ribs and some fried green beans and also a 1/2 rack w/petite steak, mashed and grilled corn along with another order of friend green beans.  We avoid the lime cole slaw like the plague (this stuff is hideous).

The food came to our table hot and looking very nice.  The green beans, if you've never tried them, are simply addictive as is the wasabi dipping sauce.

The ribs were served hot and falling off the bone with that wonderful JD BBQ dipping sauce (you know the stuff with the fruit in it that you could eat a piece of cardboard with).  The sides were good as well.  The petite steak that was served was the better part of the meal though and it came well seasoned, served medium (just a little pink) and extremely tender and tasty.

Our waitress was helpful and always there when we needed something.

Don't know where all the love is gone for this place, but they did us right!

The menu is always changing. Today I ordered the 2 for $10 deal...a select entree and my choice between an appetizer or  dessert. The spinach flatbread appetizer arrived cold and bland. The chicken/angel hair pasta dish was ok...very filling.

One word to describe our dinner here was hilarious. The last time I been to this Fridays was before the remodel, which was about 2 years ago. Now I remembered why.

Our server looked like she would rather be somewhere else. I mean who wouldn't?  I would be embarrassed to serve the food they prepare too.

The sesame chicken appetizer was O.K.  That should've been a sign. How do you mess up the appetizer?  Well, the main course took 40 minutes to arrive, at a half empty restaurant. At this point we were starting to worry about our dinner and we were right.

The BBQ ribs were hard as rock. We had to pull, grind, and use the knife to tear them apart. We suspected it was not cooked all the way through. My supposedly medium steak was extra extra well done. By that I mean it was burned in several place. I didn't have the heart to finish it. Not to mention the shrimp was tasteless and the rice tasted old.

We couldn't stop ourselves from laughing at our dinner half way through it. It was hilarious to watch my family testing the rib apart and worry about food poisoning later. Or, trying to scrape the burned steak looking for a part to bite into so it doesn't taste bitter.

I felt sorry for our server, she looked like she was too embarrassed to come by our table to ask if everything was okay. We were in a hurry to get on with our day so we didn't bother to take our food back. Needless to say that we will not be back again.
