| 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: 2 out of 5 starsI had the Jack Daniels Ribs which are often very good. The last time however, I found them to be dry.
The leg of the table at our booth kept collapsing which made me afraid our meal would come crashing to the floor. My fault for not complaining perhaps.
For an $18 meal, it sure would be nice if they offered a salad.
Also, when asked if I could substitute fries for mashed they said I could for an additional 99 cents. I can't help but wonder if I wanted to substitute the other way around if it still would have been an additional 99 cents.
Perhaps having to pay extra for salads and substitutions is part of their corporate profit model but I'll take a break from TGI Friday's based on my latest experience.
I'll give them points for having a courteous and friendly staff.
User Rating: 4 out of 5 starsonly great place to eat at 10 or 11pm. I am addicted to the spin/art dip and the chicken bruschetta.
The drinks are soo good you'll need a DD.
