Food was on par and our bartender, Samantha was very nice and attentive. On the downside, I witnessed one of the bartenders(short white girl with a red shirt) put her grimy troll hands into the ice and then into the drinks. Conveniently, she also had a band– aid on said troll hands. To top it off, she pulled one of her disgusting red/blonde hairs out of one of the drinks and proceeded to serve it to an unsuspecting customer

I must say this will be the last time coming here for awhile we had too wait for a table for two which there was a ton of seats available then the waitress literally placed us near a bathroom me and my girlfriend changed our minds. I went too the bathroom and I was completely horrified the bathroom was beyond disgusting urine old paper towels all over the floor I think management is completely poor and to many young people work here too much playing around

Food was never the issue. The service here is laughably ridiculous. I have gotten to the point there I have decided I never want to waste my time going there again. Been in several times were the seats were maybe 25% filled, yet there were still many people waiting to be seated and told the wait was 20 – 30 minutes. They never seem to staff nearly enough people. On one occasion my boyfriend and I had gone to sit in a booth in the bar area so that he could watch football. We were then told that we could not sit in the booth available because the waitress was going on her break. Apparently there was nobody else that could fill in?! We walked out and I have vowed never to return.

All you can eat appetizer deal right now for $ 12. Came here with my wife on a random week night and although the service was super slow, we were happy with the fact that they didn’t make both of us order the all you can eat app. We pretty much just shared apps and it was a great deal. Although you kind of get sick of the appetizers after a while, it is a great deal if you think about it! Plus, although the sign said you can’t ask for a box to take the food home, our waiter didn’t care and told us that we can pack everything home. I think they were more lenient though since we went there around night time(towards 10PM).

my boyfriend and I walked in on a Monday night to see 7 dirty tables. We were pretty disgusted by the dining room so we opted to sit at the bar which turned out to be no cleaner. The bar top was sticky and littered with dirty dishes and glasses. The bartender broke a glass over the ice well and didn’t even melt the ice down and get out the broken glass! The silverware roll up he gave me had a human hair wrapped around it. When my boyfriend asked for another roll up after showing the bartender the one with the hair he simply gave us another and never even bothered to remove the one with the hair. This place is comically bad! It’s shocking that corporate hasn’t stepped in to save this place from its self!

Food is good. Drinks are OK. Service is awful. Everyone working looks miserable. None of the employees seem to care about what they’re doing or who they’re doing it for. My friend and I spent over $ 100 on apps and drinks and tipped the bartender 20% and the place was EMPTY. I couldn’t even get a smile or a friendly hello. I felt like I was inconveniencing the entire staff for being there.(It was 11pm so it wasn’t like I was there right before close) I won’t be back.

This is a 5 star post for one of your waitresses Shalaine. She was great! My boyfriend and I have had mixed experiences at this location but this time was awesome no question! We went in there this evening and she kept us laughing the whole time, was very personable and even sat us when the host was nowhere to be found for at least 5 minutes of waiting on a non busy Monday(in fact the host wasn’t present for the next 2 couple that came in behind us either). You guys have a GREAT employee on your hands and we will be returning and requesting to be in her section! I actually can’t emphasize enough in this review how refreshing it was to have her as our waitress. Please keep her around!

Stopped by today and went with the classic cheeseburger with no pickles, cooked medium. I opted for sweet potato fries for an extra $ 1 only because TGIF’s has some of the best SPF’s in the restaurant game! I am never disappointed with them. If you get an entrée I think they come as one of the side options with no extra charge. The burger was juicy and delicious and the bun was perfectly soft. Total was $ 10.20 without tax – minus 1 star because I think overall TGIF’s is overpriced for their portion size. Not a lot of fries compared to competitors, and you can get a good burger for $ 6 over at Sunset Cantina or even less at Cookin’ Café if you’re in the Brighton area.

5 mins away from my friend’s apt at Boston. Restaurants are limited on this area. Friday’s is not bad. The environment here is good.

I’ve been coming here for over 4 years and have always loved the service and food but lately there is definitely something wrong. The last two times I went were a disaster. First time: at the bar, waited over 45 minutes for our first drink despite most of the restaurant being empty. Food was low in quality. Second time: told us there would be a 20 minute wait when literally over half the restaurant was empty. We were there for 2 hours and it took until after our meal arrived to get our drinks. Food made us really sick and tasted old. Management here clearly does not exist anymore half the servers don’t care and are extremely rude. You’re better off paying good money at a nice restaurant.

I wish I could give no stars at all! I never seen such a disorder in restaurant before. Well actually I did. this was my second time here, but they beat their own record this time. me and my wife arrived to this place(it can’t be called restaurant) with my 6 weeks old baby in a car seat with my wife. We were by ourself(not even more people were behind us) waiting to be seated for almost 10 minutes!!! 3 different people came just saying the same… «table for two?» That’s doesn’t happens in tgi friddays in dedham or any other one that i had visit before. Eventually after I got mad I asked to the girl at the bar for a manager or someone that can help us, so she act like they were busy. somebody else came with some attitude after just saying«we are having a table ready for you». I didn’t have no mood to eat there anymore, so I went to applebees. Screw you guys!

If I could give this place negative stars, I definitely would. I am not a mean person, but this place made me cranky and I came home with an attitude problem. We probably ate for a total of 45 minutes, and spent the remaining 3 or 4 hours waiting for either a beer or an appetizer. It took approximately 2 hours to get the check totaled out correctly as well. We had to ask for a manager to help because it was that bad, and even she didn’t apologize and didn’t seem to be phased by how frustrated we all were. In conclusion. This place is sketchy. I don’t trust them with my time and money, and that’s sad. I’d rather go to the Mission next door. :/

I just went in and ordered Chicken steak with Shrimps and I had to choose two sides for it! The steak was good but I liked the Shrimps more. ;)The ambience was good, waitress made sure that I was set all the time there.

Not to state the obvious going back to TGIF. Their bar food and drinks are way better than their entrée restaurant foods.

Best black bean Burger in town. This is a great option for vegetarians. I have had several veggie and black bean burgers but this one is unbeatably best. I’m a vegetarian and I only order black bean Burger every time I go there. The service is decent, gets busy on weekend nights. Hence there may be a wait time.

Came by for some drinks and apps after a long night of Halloween festivities at Factory of Terror. All in all I thought all TGIFs were the same. Sit at the bar, get service, drink, eat and pay… Well, all of that was great with exception of the service. Not a hello, do you want another drink… Thumbs down. Bar service SUCKED!!!

They currently have a $ 10 endless appetizer deal that is hard to skip out on. If you have a party of at least 4 or more, I would definitely recommend everyone getting that deal so you can each pick something different and share(they encourage it!). For our group, we got boneless parmesan garlic wings, boneless buffalo wings, spinach and cheese dip, and mozzarella cheese sticks. We ordered a total of 3 rounds and that was plenty of food. As a tip, I suggest you put in the next order right when your food comes out and ask for them to come out as they are ready(instead of waiting for all of them to come out at the same time). Doing this will expedite the rate at which you receive your food. We were so full and couldn’t finish our third round so we took a bunch of leftovers home. Our waiters were very nice and attentive as well. Actually, the service was pretty spectacular. Food was very good and tasty. I love their mozzarella cheese sticks. Would definitely come again for sure!

My experience was ‘Bakwaassss’ meaning crappy in Hindi. The moment u enter the ambience is all chatter with children running around and waste lying on the ground. The food is not worth mentioning. We order like 5 items. Buffalo wings, French fries, spinach dip, French onion soup and«acidic» garlic basil brussetta. The French onion was just way too salty I had to send it back, just couldn’t eat it. The brussettas were killing in literal sense, garlic overdose. They did not have a lot of veg options. The service was okay. Overall, this place sucked. Never ever going back.

We walked in for lunch and were seated immediately. We had 2 of the endless appetizers and a couple of drinks. Everything was pretty good, margaritas were only salted on ¼ of the rim, and one came out with a lemon, the next one a lime. This is a go-to place for junk food and it hits the spot for that.

My problem with this Friday’s is that it is usually a hit or miss. I live up the street from the restaurant and frequent here when I’m feeling lazy; sometimes I’m rewarded for my laziness, and other times I’m left feeling disappointed in myself. Friday’s is your typical chain restaurant, and this location is no different. They have some great weekly drink and food specials, and I should consider coming here during the best ones. My favorite dish(and they have yet to screw it up) is the tostado nachos! I could eat those suckers all day er-day. My actual meals, however, are always a gamble. I could order the same thing three times in three separate visits and eat something completely different each time. Their relatively good service makes up for what could have been two stars, though. They handle the constant crowd well, and they do it with loads of personality and(usually) good spirits.
