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.

    Too Noisy and Food Mix-Ups: We went here to eat with some family that was in town from Alabama. I had never been to a TGIFriday's and neither had one of our guests. It had been a few years at the least since my husband and our other guest had been. We ate there on a Friday night, which I don't suggest. We were seated next to the bar, which was way too noisy. Between the customers sitting there, the five (I think) TVs and the blender going nonstop, we all left with a headache. I can understand the bar atmosphere, so this is not by biggest complaint.

    When they first brought "my food" it was not my food at all. It was cooked wrong and was the wrong steak all together. So they took the steak to re-cook it. In the meantime, some other employee tried to bring me yet another meal that was not mine. Eventually, another employee brought my food....the real thing. In the midst of me eating my food, another server brought back the original steak (that was not the right one to begin with and was rare) and it took her a few minutes to see that everyone at the table already had their food and was eating (after asking us each individually as we were trying to eat if it was our reorder). I personally think that maybe they should try to keep up with what their customers order and try to give them the right food the first time. The food was great...every bit of it!! Once again...just the noise (which I understand since we were seated next to the bar), and the service were the complaints that we had.
