TGI Fridays

Typical Chain with awesome cocktails and ok food. What made this 4 stars for me was our awesome waiter who put up with my stepdads stupid jokes and odd requests all while giving us jokes back and smiling. They really do have great cocktails and alcohol (very important). I had a Moscow Mule, which I subbed whiskey for vodka, with muddled strawberries (yum!). Sounds weird but it was so good! The appetizers here are always delicious but their entrees are blah. Potato skins and mozz sticks are good. I had their plan cheeseburger which was ok. So thin they don’t even ask how you want it cooked. I wish I could remember our waiters name because he was great

Okay so yeah it’s your typical tgifriday chain and the food is the same generally wherever you go. However my bf and I tend to come here when we want to watch some games but enjoy cheap drinks and cheap appetizers. Their $ 4 long islands are a great deal and they are definitely generous with the liquor. They have a menu in the bar that says $ 5 select appetizers only Sunday-​Thursday but every time we have come in (Friday or Saturday) they have allowed us to order from this menu– plus they’re full size appetizers! Staff is attentive and friendly and it’s clean! Great place to grab a quick bite to eat & some drinks

Been a loyal customer but it found odd that when I visited on 9÷3÷15 for a $ 3 Long Island on Thursday, I was charged $ 5? And given a small plastic cup? I was told by a manager & bartender, it was $ 2 tax? And when ask for a receipt, it couldn’t be found. So, overcharged & no stripes? Also, $ 22 for a double shot of Ciroc? I would a least like to get some credit for it. Apparently, no stripes credit for alcohol purchases.

Wow this place is GHETTO. The only good thing was the staff was nice… maybe too nice. Got to see a huge man going crazy and being belligerent drunk. Screaming and cussing and sexually harassing the women at the bar. This went on for like 10 minutes at least and the manager did nothing about it. A manager was never even called… the poor bartender was trying to quiet him down but it wasn’t working. Got to end the night hearing him scream BYE FELICIA over and over again and the girls who were not reciprocating his sexual advances. NEVER AGAIN!!!

Awesome deals on appetizers. Pink pink Cosmo is my favorite drink. Waiting staff is great.

Love love love the endless apps! Will go weekly till they cancel them. Some of the staff seems preoccupied with each other, but our waitress was great.

Main menu is pricy but we like to eat there every now and then with their current special, unlimited (changeable) appetizers! For $ 12 it’s a pretty good deal. They entered every app we ordered into the computer and without this promotion, it would have been over $ 100 but we only paid $ 28 including tax! We also love their strawberry lemonade slush! Our server, Tony, was very attentive and friendly.
If it weren’t for the unlimited appetizer special, I probably wouldn’t come here again though. The menu was not very appealing and way too pricy for what they served.

Been traveling and eating out — a lot — with out of town company the past 10 days. We’ve done just about everything we can think of, for dinner. During our travels today, I saw a Friday’s in RVA and that put the bug in my ear, to head there for their endless appetizers, for dinner.
The place was jumping, when we arrived, and the jousting for parking spots outside, was energetic.
Seated quickly. Our attentive, and friendly server, actually took the 90 seconds of so that it took for me to tell her a long winded gag (see my check in). The wheels are turning look on her face was priceless.
We ordered a variety of items off of their endless appetizer menu, to include Boneless Jack Daniels chicken, plain boneless chicken, mozzarella sticks and spicy chicken tostado’s.
Every thing that was brought to us, was hot, and well prepared. You know the feeling when you cook a mozzarella stick in your oven, only to find that it had exploded in the oven. Nothing even close to that tonight.
Honestly, aside from the loud ambient noise level in the place (which no one has any control over) who could complain, without having to make something up?
No idea how long this promotion will last, and honestly, we cannot eat like this (calorie wise etc…) but every once in a while, But we are hoping that it stays around long enough to take another shot at this.
Hot, well prepared appetizers. Attentive server.
What’s not to like?
Recommended.

Good food but not a lot of choices. We had to wait an extra 20 min because there was only one cook in the kitchen which didn’t make sense. Our waiter was nice but the guys hitting on the waitresses were annoying. I came out for a dinner with my husband, not to see some guy rapping to the wait staff. Even though I like the fried green beans we probably won’t go back because everything was being run so badly

After a horrible experience in October at the Applebee’s across the street I must say that our waiter was superb after I explained to him what happened. The service and food was great!

Fridays has one of the best samplers that I’ve ever tried your Jack Daniels sampler is to die for the chicken is scrumptious and the shrimp was seasoned and fried to perfection the ribs were very juicy the Jack Daniels sauce that Fridays have is absolutely amazing

Soooo I probably should’ve checked the reviews on this place first. Terrible and overpriced.

I really like Friday’s however this location did not impress me. When I first walked in it took a while for the two hostesses to acknowledge me before ending their conversation. When I was seated the waitress was very inattentive and could not multi task. She was also was very awkward. The food was good and portions just right. The place on further inspection was pretty filthy and unclean looking. I probably won’t be returning to this location.

Very un inviting place
Weird service, staff tries to be «cool» a bit too hard.
Tried this place twice in a year and same results.
Below average food and awkward servers, I’m there to eat not to become friends with the wait staff. I don’t need to know your life story and how much you make a shift… Seriously!!!
Note to waiter/​waitress, if you have a man, a woman, and a child at your table. Both man and woman are wearing their rings, DON’T ASK IF THEY WANT SEPARATE CHECKS!!!
I don’t care about your life style but some of us still believe in a man/​woman marriage. I’m not forcing my life style on you DON’T FORCE YOURS ON ME!!!
Separate checks??? WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?
Will not be back,
I don’t recommend this place.

oh Friday’s. How I use to love you before I branched out and started trying independent restaurants. As far as chains go– Friday’s is pretty classic. Fried foods, big portions, full bar and a heart attack after. Consistently producing dishes that top the «Unhealthiest Foods in America» list (not that that stops me), their menu hasn’t changed much over the years. I love their bruschetta pasta… I always feel 20 lbs heavier after but I think it is well worth the pain. Their ribs are fine, their chicken tenders are standard fare, their strawberry fields salad is always a winner… what more do you want? It’s a chain.
Location wise… meh. Last time I went it had just opened for lunch and the service still sucked. 3 waiters, standing and chatting while we stared at them and waved trying to get attention… but oh well… I don’t expect 5 star service from any chain.

Awesome experience. The food was amazing, our server Rachel was outstanding. I will differently come back.

I’m a fan most of all for the experience that we had. Service was really good. Food was fresh. Except the potato skins taste different than they did years ago. They were really greasy. Supposedly they deep fry them then melt the cheese on top. But the grease wasn’t drained. We went for unlimited apps, and they did keep them coming. To the point we had to stop them! The server that was helping us also had a trainee with him. She messed up our receipt to the point I lost out on a free desert, and we were overcharged and had 2 charges in our account for a few days. It would have been nice if the seasoned server would have handled our bill, because it was kinda complex with all the free stuff and apps. She just took it an rang it up without letting him know. That was kind of an inconvenience. So all in all, I will not be rushing back, but will probably go back again sometime in life.

Enjoyed a Steak dinner, and a pre dinner drink. The place was packed, they had a bartender competition going on. The waiter provided great service.

Went in tonight on a Friday, July 4^th. Waited forever for a waitress to come to our table. When she finally got there she had endless excuses about how she was the only one in her area, blah blah blah. My father in law ordered a salad with extra blue cheese and by the time the blue cheese got there the other food had arrived. Parmesan steak fries were literally floating in grease, so gross. Wife ordered the sizzling shrimp and chicken with mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were so obviously instant potatoes and gross. A restaurant can’t make real mashed potatoes? Her shrimp were slightly larger than a nickel each and the chicken was not hot. Sheesh.
My flat iron steak was prepared perfectly medium rare as I asked for. The side of mac and cheese was barely warm. Other than the steak, the food was extremely forgettable and sub par. All we heard was excuses. We won’t be going back again.

I always love a TGI Fridays! Interesting menu, reasonable pricing, good drinks, and some of my favorite food!
I went with my mom (yay for not having to pay for my meal!) and we decided to get 2 different entrees and share. I got a steak, and she got a chicken/​cheese sizzler or something like that. We had a coupon for a buy 1 entrée/​2drinks get 1 entrée free. So we also got their special Cherry Limeade and Strawberry Lemonade drinks. I thought it was pretty good, but I wouldn’t get it next time. My mom loved her Cherry Limeade though!
When it was time to actually order though, both my mom and I had been very interested in the Korean Steak Tacos. Wow; right? But the waiter said that they changed their menu recently, and he wasn’t sure if they still had that. Lucky us. they didn’t. so that’s how we ended up with the options we chose. I really wish I got to try those tacos though :(.
The service was slow and when the chicken/​cheese sizzler was brought out, it wasn’t sizzling. it was warm at the most. My steak was EXCELLENT though. Extremely tender and amazingly seasoned. I loved it so much! I got some cole slaw and parmesan fries as my 2 sides. The cole slaw was good, but the parmesan fries were excellent. My mom was dying from how delicious her dish was. When we traded, I thought the chicken was only so-​so, but with the cheese, it was amazing. The cheese really made it wonderful. The mashed potatoes were brought out in 2 separate scoops instead of one large one, so it made it easy to share. That was nice! :)
All in all, it was enjoyable, but the service was so slow I had to knock it down a star. The waiter took about 10 minutes to bring back our receipt to tip and sign. But on it, there was a joke of the week! «A blind man walks into a bar. And a table, and a chair.» Interesting idea to put a joke on the receipt! Loved it! Of course, I love TGI Fridays. I WILL be back!
