| 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. |

User Rating: 1 out of 5 starsOn 12/18/07 our office was celebrating our christmas party for the end of the year. The waitress that was assigned to our group did a very good job, the problem my co-workers experienced happen when her first order was un-cooked salmon with pecans, our group notice that her salmon looked raw, she brought the situation to our waitress who stated that she could re-order from the menu, in which she did after the lucheon was over, she told by Mr. Matt the nasty (Manager) and stated she couldn't swap the second meal for the first meal and that she had to pay for both meals which she did. Mr. Matt was very rude when speaking to my supervisor and co-worker he would not allow them to explained to him on what had happen. If this is how TGI"S Friday operates we will not patronize this resturant and we will inform our colleagues from the State Department and other agencies of this situation, lousy Christmas lucheon.:-( Bahumbug.

I work near here and you would think at least 1 time it would be good.NOT.service is slow and poor,even when you call your order in it takes forever for them to take your order then it takes forever to get it.lunch time is only so long-please call at least 1/2 an hour to 45 minutes
before you want your food.and DON"T go in to order take out if you do -take a book! 
User Rating: 1 out of 5 starsI rather Cook myself: I've worked in this area sine 2001. I only go here if i have a "taste" for TGIF. Sit donw, no thanks, bring frineds, no thanks, try'n to impress someone, go somewhere else. The food is going to taste the same wherever you go, but bad sevices makes it taste bad. I only call in for lunch now. These other 4/5 star reviews MUST be made up.
