| 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. |

We didn't expect much and were very pleasantly surprised. Food good,service good in a pleasant atmosphere. Little noisy for us older folks,otherwise great.
One of my favs: Good eats and a cool atmosphere but be prepared to wait a while on a Friday or Saturday night
Fridays is Kewl: Fridays is a nice restaurant to chill with with the fam or friends and they a good amount of choices on the menu. Or you can just chill at the bar and watch a game. Most of them have plenty of TVs and it can get a might loud during a game. So it may not be the best place to take ur honey for a romatic evening(even though I would). My favs are the seseme chicken strips and the jack bbq tray. But everything on the menu I've tried tasted good and they usually have some kind of special or deal going on.
