TGI Friday's

This location -and the food - used to be a lot better. But things have gone downhill and never recovered.

The last time I was here, I ordered a mix-and-match pre priced combo meal and soon realized that you get what you pay for. The burger tasted tough and flavorless, not like ones I had previously at the location. The people I was there with all found their food mediocre as well. And that was the last straw in a longer list of events that culminated in us never going back.

The only thing enjoyable on the menu? The Oreo® Madness. Yeah, its a decent dessert that might be worth coming in for if you're hungry for dessert, but so far it has yet to tempt me to do so.

TGI Friday's is mediocre no matter which way you cut it. We knew that going into this dinner.

But, my brother was in town for one night and staying down the street so we came from VA to meet him (big mistake, Maryland, as far as states go, is mediocre itself) for a quick dinner. There were 6 of us ... myself and my husband, my sister and her friend, and my brother and his coworker.  

Everything was fine aside from the fact that they were out of pretty much every on-tap beer (literally, we requested 3-4 and somehow, they had "just run out in the last few minutes," yet it was a Sunday night around 9pm, and there weren't that many people there ... but, I digress).  We ordered, got our food ... my brother's coworker finally settled on Mich Ultra, because they were out of a bunch of bottled beer too (seriously!?), and it only took about 20 minutes to get each of his two beers.

When it came time to pay our bill, I told the waitress one check was fine, we could split it (as my husband and I were together, my sister and her friend split something but were paying separately, and my brother was paying for his coworker).  She insisted on splitting it for us, and came back with 6 checks.  No big deal, I gave her my credit card wrapped in both my husband's check and mine.

When the checks came, everyones appeared to be correct, we signed and left.

Well, today, it looks like that waitress didn't charge me for hubby's meal, and wound up closing it out on my sister's credit card (sister is a broke college student who works hard for her money) ... AND she tipped herself MORE than I tipped her.  So, essentially, at the end of the night, she decided she wanted to make more money and tipped herself and extra almost $4.

So, my sister, in essence, paid for her meal and my husbands, and tipped this idiot waitress double.  She's disputing the charge with her bank and we've both called the restaurant and spoken to the manager, Amanda (who was very nice and helpful), and she's looking into it.

Either way. Even if this WAS a mistake and she did accidentally close out the wrong check on the wrong card, the waitress tipped herself and I'm sorry, but that's shady, dishonest, and frankly ILLEGAL.

We've been assured that it'll be taken care of, sister will get her money back, and the waitress will be "handled." But, for what it's worth, stay far away from this place.

Worst service ever. Slower than anything I hace experinced. The appetizer took 30 mins or more to get here. Bad services. Never coming here again.
