TGI Friday’s

Awesome food and awesome service! The service here is wonderful. We came here two of five nights we were in town for work and we weren’t disappointed. We had the bourbon barrel chicken both nights and it was perfect. Our waiters both times were excellent. Way to go, TGI Friday’s!

I walked here from my hotel to get my food to go. The place was nice and clean. The bartender was very attentive and had my order correct. She checked on me multiple times and checked on my food as well. I would definitely recommend this location.

Very good service from Kevin! Really taking care of the customer. Excellent food, cold drinks!

Waitress name was Christine. She has very poor customer service and does not know the importance of taking care of the customers she serves. We was a table of 4 and her other table was a table of 8. I noticed she got all their orders right. I ordered a drink and water with lime. She forgot our waters and had to be reminded. Her response was wait she needed to get the table of 8 drinks first when we was there first waiting. I ordered sizzling chicken and shrimp and Cajun shrimp and chicken pastas. My sizzling chicken and shrimp meal was not sizzling like I’m use to seeing when I come to TGI Fridays. Everything looked like it had been microwaved. Shrimps looked fried. The other meal ordered, the noodles were not hot, fresh and steamy. Very disappointed with the service. The manager Eli wanted to fix the issue but I refused because I didn’t want to give them the opportunity to put anything in my food for complaining about my orders. I will not be returning to this specific location anymore.

Fair representation of the chain. My wife and I had a decent experience early on a Saturday, before the lunch rush. The bartender was also our waitress and she was fantastic. We had large salads and shared a dessert, and it was all okay.

Come on thirsty thursdays for 3 $ margaritas, mojitos, and long islands: D The bartenders are really nice here and they are quick at making drinks if you’re sitting at the bar.
Food: Blah at most

This TGIF SUCKS!!! Terrible service!!! Manager was no where to be found after waiting more than 20 minutes to get greeted by someone. Go the ale house or Bahama breeze. You’ll get better service there.

Awesome! The sizzling chicken and spinach was DELICIOUS and my friend’s Cajun shrimp and chicken pasta was awesome. Our server, Moriah, was professional and prompt and friendly. :) Excellent music and atmosphere.

Note: this review is solely for the bar area.
This is a medium size TGIF that has one large circular bar. There’s a fare amount of table tops to drink as well as eat at. Some are quite cozy. The restroom is directly next to the bar so it’s quite convenient.
That being said, the service in this area is excellent and one might consider dining here if the restaurant portion is too full. The food servers are efficient and friendly. The bartenders are another story as they are over the top! They serve up some great drinks and are extremely attentive. Most of all they love sports and don’t hesitate to cheer with you during a game.
The parking is ill conceived as you’ll drive up and down I Drive looking for it. It’s in the back and is a small shared lot that’s difficult to get in and out of. Most of all it’s a bit shady here at night to walk down the narrow walkway to the back to get your car.

We have been eating at TGI Fridays on our trip for a while now. It’s a good place to eat with more than a few options. It’s moderately priced for the portions they offer and we haven’t been disappointed with the food yet.

Perfect 5 dollar happy hour anytime! Very nice waitress and waiters, food was excellent and the happy hour drinks, wonderful too. Nothing I can complain about, the Buffalo wings were spectac!

Wanted something to do with my niece and so I googled Friday’s and decided we should come to this location. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. Our server was very nice and professional. We ordered mozzarella sticks that were fresh and hot like we like it! I decided to go with a drink called Blood Orange Cooler which was very refreshing! We will most definitely come back to this location.

I ordered wings.
They came cold. The manager bought
Me a drink and re-​ordered my wings.
— forgot about my complimentary drink. Ask him again and it came out.
Waited for my wings for 20 min longer.
Finally they came. Free from manager. Thanks. Extra star for customer service

I’ve had some really bad service at Friday’s recently in Garland, TX however this one was great. Great job John Martinez. He was awesome. I’ll be back again before we leave Orlando.

I usually love TGI Fridays but this time. not so much. The server was friendly, but the service was bad. I ordered a mixed grill which included a small sirloin and fried shrimp. Food was VERY slow, When it arrived, no shrimp and I was finished my steak before the waitress (Who had not brought the food) stopped by to check on us.
My daughter’s cheeseburger was supposed to have mayo and mustard. It had neither.
We ordered the brownie desert, very deceiving in the picture, it looks like a big thing, with nuts and caramel drizzle– it is tiny, one tiny scoop of ice cream, and the brownie tasted stale.
When we got about halfway home (an hour away), my daughter realized that her money had fallen out of her pocket. She had been attending the Megacon at the convention center, and she had 26 dollars cash in her pocket– she counted it at the restaurant, and put it back in her shallow pocket, and it was gone. This is not the restaurant’s fault obviously but I have been trying to call for almost an hour to tell them what happened, and to see if by some stroke of luck someone turned the money in (does that even happen? I would turn in money if I found it but maybe I am just weird). I thought maybe the bus boy or the waitress may have seen it, and maybe we could have gotten it back, but after an hour of calling, no one ever answers. I called another location to see if they might be able to help me reach someone there, I was put on hold for almost 10 minutes and the person never came back to the phone.
Aside from losing all her money… the food was ok at best and even though the waitress was nice, the service was bad and they were not really even busy at the time we went.
Sure would have been nice if I could have reached someone by phone to ask them about the lost cash… I know chances are slim someone found it and turned it in, but in the event someone did, I will never know because I CAN’T REACH ANYONE. Ridiculous. Not a fan of this location, no plans to go back…

Ok, firstly I do not really like to give anything a one start rating but in this case, TGI Friday really did earn it.
Now, TGI Friday’s I like and I have never had a experience like this one at any other TGI Friday location and I would have thought due to this TGI Friday being on International Drive in Orlando, that this would be at least as good if not better, then most other TGI Friday locations… I was wrong.
I took my parents there, as they were visiting from England and we were traveling around FL. We go in and were seated quickly, although the fact that the place was mostly empty and it was lunch time, should have tipped me off that something was wrong.
there was one couple at another table near us and then a table with a party of 8 and then us. So service should not have been an issue.
We sit and wait about 10 minutes and a waiter arrives with the pace of a sleep walking slough. We places our orders for our drinks and he slowly moves away.
Another 5 minutes pass and he returns at the speed of stop and hands us our drinks. We place our orders… nothing elaborate… I ordered a prime rib sandwich… my dad ordered a burger and my mother had french onion soup.
So we sit and sit and sit… another 15 minutes pass and I attracted our waiter who had so far never bothered to check with us to see if we needed a refill on our drinks, which we did.
I asked what was going on with our order and he says he will check. Another 10 minutes go by and our waiter returns and said our order should be out shortly… my dad asked what the delay was and the waiter said it was because of the party of 8.
5 more minutes pass and my mother gets her french onion soup. The bowl had soup splashed down one side of the bowl, most likely due to the way the waiter seemed to wave the bowl from side to side as he slowly oozed his way to us and by the time my dad and I get our food, my mother has already eaten hers.
My dad’s burger was COLD, as most likely it had sat in the kitchen for a while. My prime rib sandwich was sub par, the bread was dry and they did not even give me any ajue sauce to go with it.
When the waiter brought us the bill, I asked him what all the delay was about and that I know it was not because of the party of 8. He told me it was because they only had one cook and he had messed up some orders and was running behind.
We paid the bill and left, I was going to complain to the manager but from the scowl on her face she was displaying while hovering in the corner, I had a feeling it would not do much good.
Maybe this was a one off bad experience but I know I will never return to this TGI Friday.

Really slow service. Endless apps kills the kitchen, so if you are ordering normal food, you end up waiting forever because someone decides to eat 8 appetizers.

Amazing food for a chain, someone has done their homework, Jack Daniels ribeye always good, the Thai tacos where fantastic, ordered a key lime pie martini excellently crafted by the bartender, the sides of a tomatoes and fresh mozzarella was refreshingly good, the rice pilaf also very well prepared, maybe this chain has the right stuff.

I spent several minutes deciding if I should give this place 2 or 3 stars and decided that the friendliness of the servers pushed them to a 3. However, in not sure if they’re genuinely friendly or act that way towards me because I always come with my friend who is their regular.
The service gradually got slower as we went on, the bartender was waiting on us with no help from any other servers. It drove me crazy that I had to wait longer to get my check and get me refill and ask for anything else because he always had to stop what he was doing to make drinks for other people. He could have at least sent someone else to help us when he was busy.
Also, I tried a dish there I tried the last time I went. It came with Mac n cheese that was surprisingly delicious but this time it wasn’t the same, it didn’t even look the same as of they used a different cheese and the chicken also had a different flavor that I didn’t enjoy. I was upset with the inconsistency, if I ordered something again it’s because I liked it yet I ended up with something that seemed almost like a different dish.

I was the first one there that day on International Drive, and sat at the bar. The bartender/​server was friendly and easy going. She was happy serving and helped me a choose a great salmon and sauce lunch.
Okay, who can resist those darn pretzels in beer-​cheese sauce? No one. You can’t eat one.
Fridays is a old standby, but after years of getting stale, they have really made an effort to be relevant AND improve their meal options and dish flavors. Go TGIF!
