About:	T.G.I. Friday's, the first American casual dining chain, is a dining experience that has become the favorite pastime of millions since 1965. The first T.G.I. Friday's was located at First Avenue and 63rd Street in New York City and featured red and white stripes, a blue exterior and its name -- T.G.I. Friday's. Inside were wooden floors, Tiffany lamps, bentwood chairs and striped tablecloths. The bar area, with its brass rails and stained glass, contributed to the ambiance. For T.G.I. Friday's interior decor, a full time antique "picker" traveled extensively to auctions and flea markets. Memorabilia had to be authentic and, if possible, unique to the area where the new restaurant would be located. In a Nashville warehouse, this "clutter" was restored before being loaded on a truck bound for the next T.G.I. Friday's opening. The New York T.G.I. Friday's enjoyed an immediate and spectacular success. First year revenues totaled $1 million. This restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side had become THE meeting place for single adults. In fact, according to Newsweek and The Saturday Evening Post, the opening of T.G.I. Friday's heralded the dawn of the singles age. By 1972, the restaurant as we know it today was taking everyone by storm. By 1975, there were ten T.G.I. Friday's restaurants in eight states. As of June 30 there are 609 in 52 countries! As the guests have changed, so has Friday's. The company has grown and the guests have matured. Now many of them bring their children with them when they dine at T.G.I Friday's and, T.G.I. Friday's still offers an unsurpassed menu selection of food prepared to perfection, served in a lively, engaging atmosphere.

The food was excellent and resonably priced but the service was extremely rude. We were rushed through our meal from the moment we were seated it was the most unrelaxing meal I ever experienced. The worse part was the busboy coming to the table with the bus pan while we were still there finishing our drinks and desserts! How unsanitary!Then the ultimate insult was we were asked to leave immediately after the bill was paid. There were empty tables in our area and only three groups waiting in the lobby so I don't know what the rush was or why we were singled out. We were a group of professionals and staff members from a local college, Personally I will never eat at that location again it was a very humiliating experience especially for one of our group who had friends sitting at another table. I waitressed through college and we would have been fired if we ever gave that kind of service!
