Tgi Fridays

We were out & about yesterday & decided to eat here for dinner. The waitress name was Brandy that served us. She was a riot! My friend's hubby is a cut up & she was able to hang in there with him! lol! I ordered the half rib with loaded potatoes & vegetable medley! I ordered peach mango lemonade which I happened to be very pleased with. My friend ordered their chicken dinner with mexican cheese sauce. Unfortunately I forgot the name of it. Any who, she didn't like it & ended up not eating anything at all. :( My friends kept bragging about the vanilla bean cheesecake. I was stuffed to say the least so I took mines to go with chocolate sauce on the side. I like their food, it tastes good & they make it fresh. I also like that they clean the menus, since I'm a big germ-a-phobe. The fact that they do this accommodated me very well. My overall experience personally was good. As for my friend I think she was still mad at the fact that they didn't serve shrimp. That's what I think that her problem really was. It's a small spot in the mall & Brandy explained that they don't have enough space to serve shrimp on the menu.Like I told her, she needs to not eat so much seafood being pregnant anyway. This place served it's purpose for me at  least.

This place is clean and conveniently located, inside the mall food court. They did seat us right away on a Saturday night when all the other places in the area had a 1 hour wait.

However, we did not know they have a limited Friday's menu that lacks the new gourmet mac 'n cheese that we were craving.

I really don't love TGI Friday's.  To be honest, I've never had a stellar experience there, but we always seem to default there when we're shopping at Castleton.  I guess we don't want to eat the typical mall food.

The first time we ate here was okay.  We sat in the bar, the service was decent, our food was relatively quick and it tasted fine.  Nothing spectacular but nothing bad either.

Second time we sat at a table.  The service was noticable slower, although they weren't busy, and our food was mediocre.  Wait, no, mine was terrible.  I ordered fish and chips (what was I thinking!!!) and the fish was squishy.

How do you have squishy FRIED fish?  By default fried is crispy, not squishy.  I suspect my meal was ready well before my fiance's and it sat.  LAME.  I should have sent it back.

The only saving grace of this place - green bean fries with the chipotle ranch. Yum!
