| 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: 4 out of 5 starsStayed in the hotel above it and went there after a Redbirds baseball game which was across the street. If you don't know much about the area, you are very limited to your dining option that allow you to not eat with homeless people.
Food was what you would expect. Good and filling. Service was average. I hate the servers that think they are doing you a favor by waiting on you.
Best place available at 10:30p/m-

They food is on average at this restaurant. Sometimes its pretty good and at others it is very marginal. The "Jack Daniels line is the best bet. Happy eating.
User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsAverage food: Let's face it - you don't go to the chains for high-end dining. I didn't - it was close to my hotel. But... the waiter we had was TERRIFIC! He made the meal great. Just sorry I don't remember his name. A perfect example of how excellent customer service can make average food more enjoyable.
