| 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: 5 out of 5 starsThis was the first time we had ever been to TGI Fridays. When we got there, the managers were holding both doors open for us. The food was great and the service was incredible.
User Rating: 3 out of 5 starsNeeds some work: I have been quite a few times and the service has yet to step up to what I'm accustomed to at a TGI Friday's. You tend to languish waiting to be acknowledged whether at a table or at the bar. Once they do get to you, it tends to be an OK experience. The food is hit-or-miss but the drinks tend to be on point. For that reason alone, I will at least continue to drink there. LOL.
User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsTGI Friday's - It's Worth the Trip: I have loved eating at Friday since I first dined at one in the mid 80's in Phildadelphia, PA. A recent trip to the Friday's in Inverness was pleasant but there's some room for improvement. The menu has changed - I miss the Mushroom, Steak & Mushrooms - It has ALWAYS been my favorite entree. They do, however, have a special that offers an appetizer, entree, and dessert for one price. There were several combinations to chose from and you won't leave feeling hungry. A few minor service improvements could be made but overall the visit was good. Overall - Worth the trip !
PS...Awesome Long Island Ice Teas (although we passed on them this trip)
