TGI Friday's

Can't believe they are still all over, premade garbage overcooked burgers and standard service( that's about the only positive). I would prefer the burgers at Wendy's and would not even entertain the idea of trying anything else. OUTDATED don't bother wasting both your time and money. Better off keeping your choices to local restaurants from this decade, 80s-90s were cool, the food not so much.

I used to spend weekend nights at Friday's ever week when I was in high school (in the 90's)I suppose there must be a reason that in the past two years I've been to  Friday five times or less and after today I can say I will never be coming back.

Every time I've been here I have been less than impressed and today was the straw that broke the camels back. Walking into the restaurant was challenging because of the giant group that was seated at the front. I had to squeeze through and I am average sized and I still bumped into both chairs on either side of me. To me this is annoying and a huge safety issue if there were to be a problem inside it is single file lines out of the dining area. Yikes.

We get seated and I take a seat in a chair with my back to the "aisle" and within the first 5 minutes of sitting there my chair has been jostled no less then 10 times by people trying to get in and out. Absurd.

Service was the slowest thing ever. A freaking turtle could have brought me my beverage (sodas and iced teas at our table, nothing from the bar) 10 minutes is about 8 minutes too slow.

We all order the lunch special (unlimited soup, salad and bread sticks) Unlimited sounds nice, I usually like to indulge in two bowls of soup (gasp! I know) However we sat around at our table after finally ordering our food and we never saw our server again. It took at least 20 minutes to get said soups and salads to our table and then at least 10 minutes to finally track down our server to get our bill. Which of course turned out to be wrong because we got charged for drinks.

We were here for over an hour and had a bowl of soup and salad. I could have gone to Panera and had a much more enjoyable experience.

Goodbye Fridays, we're officially broken up. Forever.

Vistied this store on 10/30/12 12:30 during lunch with my dad ( he visits 1-2x a week). We were sat by the kitchen, so we could hear every word the servers and people on the line were saying. Our server was Heather, who was extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. The food we ordered came fairly quickly, and my ribeye was cooked a perfect temp. With that being said, my problems came from ordering one of their slushy drinks, and recieving a small black bar straw that made it impossible to drink this particular drink. When I asked the female bartender if they had any normal sized straws and she looks at me like im crazy and simply says "no" I again asked her If they had any restaurant sized drinking straws to drink this with, again, the answer was simply no. Sorry.
Now my problem was with her attitude, her lack of caring or sympathy for my problem, and her apparent lack of respect for me as a customer. No "yes sir, no sir" was used,  she talked as though I was annoying her and she couldnt be "bothered" by a customer since she was so "busy" talking to the male bartender and taking care of her empty bar. (Apparently she doesn't realize the turnover rates of rude bartenders)
I said ok, walked over to the fast food place, and got a bigger straw.
Why is it that most kids working at restaurants these days have zero manners, no respect for customers, and look like they would rather be anywhere but at work.
Find more servers/bartenders like heather, and I might go back
