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.

    I've been here occasionally and never had a problem til June 29, 2008. The food was delicious it was actually the service. The sat us down right away. Then our waitress came and took our orders. I'm a 26 years old mother of 2 and my husband is a 25 years old construction worker. He looks about 28. We order some beers and she carded us. Mine was valid and his was expired. His card was stolen so he had an old one. Instead of just checking the date of his birth she looked at his expiration date. She said she wouldn't accept it cuz it was so expired. I tried to tell her he's the same age and me but she wasn't having it. She was young too. She didn't bring his drink. Then to top it off she hardly ever checked on us. When she did take our order it took like an hour to get to us. However they did take one thing off our bill. That waitress needs to be trained better in my opinion.
