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.

    Go to Ruby Tuesday's instead..: SLOW SERVICE! Finally got a waitress to take my order, came back with my soda and it was flat. Took her another 15 minutes to come back so i could tell her it was flat. Another 10 to get me another one and this time she said she'd wait to make sure it wasnt flat. Before i could take a sip, she ran off somewhere. And guess what? it was flat, another 10 minutes later (by which point i was done with my appetizer and part way through my meal, i had to hail down a different waitress to get me another soda. Oh, by the way, food is overpriced and menu lacks any kind of variety.

    Horrible experience: Last night, 4/10/05, my boyfriend and I ate at Fridays in Williamsport Pa. We go there often, maybe once every two weeks. For the third time in a row, they messed up my meal and I had to send it back. He was already done eating by the time I got my food. This has happened three different times. I will never, never gone there again! All I ordered was cajan chicken fingers, how hard is that!
