TGI Friday’s

If you’re thinking about it, don’t. Stopped in around 10:00 with some friends because it was the only restaurant that was open late on a Sunday other than Applebees. We were seated right away and the place was pretty vacant at this hour with the exception of a few people sitting around the bar. We were seated at a five person table which was odd considering we were four and a four person booth would have made a bit more sense to me. Nevertheless, the seating was fine and our server came over to take drink orders shortly after we were all seated. In all honesty, the service was really sloppy for lack of a better word. From the way he was dressed to his mannerisms, it was unprofessional from start to finish. Yes, Fridays has a casual atmosphere, but his shirt didn’t look clean, it was a hanes t-​shirt, he didn’t stand up straight at the table, it was way way too casual of a demeanor and it was really evident. When I asked about the tuna tartare appetizer and if it was any good, his response was, «Well I don’t eat fish so.» Yeah, well I don’t eat foie gras or anything with truffles, but if it’s a hot seller (which the menu noted it was) you bet I’m going to tell a guest that it’s very popular and then give a little description about the plate, none of that here. We had an array of waters, beers and speciality drinks at the table. My friend ordered a strawberry daiquiri and while it was too sweet for me, she really enjoyed it and was fairly strong. We started with the tuna tartare appetizer, my friends got soup and an «Apps all around» where you are able to choose a few different things. He chose the PB&J boneless wings, pot stickers and loaded potato skins (I think.) After our order had been placed for about 7 or 8 minutes, our server stopped by to clarify which kind of wings my friend got and said, «Hey did you get Buffalo or BBQ wings?» Well, he got neither, but again everything was so informal, too informal. The tuna tartare wasn’t the smartest idea; not sure what I was thinking ordering raw fish at a Fridays. It wasn’t bad, it was sliced tuna on top of crispy wontons with some avocado cream sauce and jalapeños, completely edible, just not great. There was too long of a gap in between our tuna appetizer and our entrees, way too long, it’s Fridays, everything is frozen, there was no reason for the extended wait time at 10:45 on a Sunday night.
My friends thought the boneless peanut butter and jelly wings were interesting, a little odd but that’s the reason they chose them in the first place. The rest of their appetizer sampler seemed to be enjoyed for the most part. My boyfriend and I both went with the sizzling chicken and spinach dish which was advertised on the menu as being a «healthy option» under 500 calories. The presentation was slightly laughable; the skillet consisted of spinach that was tossed onto the plate haphazardly with a piece of chicken breast smothered in a sauce that tasted like soy sauce and sugar covering a few slices of yellow squash. The side dish was the best part of the meal, grape tomatoes with three teeny balls of mozzarella cheese. I thought that the sauce on the chicken was anything but healthy, and it had a very strange flavor, not enjoyable. The portion was very small and we left hungry. Have to keep in mind that this was a «healthy option» so I shouldn’t be expecting a large quantity. With that being said, two coors lights, two chicken entrees and a tuna appetizer came to $ 50. $ 15 for each entrée was FAR too overpriced for the quantity and quality; $ 9 max for that dish would be much more appropriate. To leave a restaurant hungry, $ 60 later with tip is a disappointment. Everything from the service to the food was underwhelming. Most likely would not come back here for the food.

Might be the worst and most over priced place in all of WNY. There is no quality to there food and its double the price. Do yourself a favor and head to any drive thru place for better quality food. Wish there where a negative star option.

The bar stinks horrifically. The smell nearly made me vomit. This place is on its last leg. Restrooms are gross and the food was bad. They microwaved my blackbean burger. The outside perimeter was like tree bark. I wish I had something nice to say. The bartender was very friendly but we won’t be back.

Like I said Joey and the guys that bartend are great, food is consistent, the wait staff seem like there always «too busy» and the new female mang is very unprofessional. She talks neg about other employees in the bar area within ear shot of costumers. And the hostess is never at the front after dinner Time

Did I have to give 1 star… I wish there was a scale to place a negative in front of it…
I don’t really care for chains .and had forgotten why this particular location was one I would AVOID patronizing. .UNTIL…
I stopped in the other day as we were out shopping and it was later than expected. .went in and my adult daughter said «we haven’t been here in YEARS»
We were seated near the bar, I advised him about my Give me more stripes and a 20% off coupon and if it would be able to be applied and he said «yes, why not» I had my kids and mother we decided to try the 2 for $ 16, I again advised the waiter we were using a coupon he said «No problem», We ordered and got our appetizers Flatbread and Pot Stickers …
They were all COLD… the waiter came and advised he would fix the problem. .he returned the same food and had «heated» it up… which in turn made the Flatbread Hard and the Pot Stickers hard to bite.
But by then the entrees were coming out.
Our waiter apparently smoked because the cigarette stench was all over our table EVERY TIME he brought something to the table or took something…
When he brought the check it was $ 79.++
When I gave him my coupon he said «That wouldn’t qualify» I then gave him another code that was emailed to me and he said «Nope, no discount»
I asked if he could ask the manager and he said «it isn’t necessary» I advised him that BEFORE ordering he said I could… he said «WELL YOU CAN’T «
In an effort to avoid a problem I paid them bill BUT I will NEVER patronize the establishment again !!
The check came after

Chains are typically not my thing but TGIF’s is okay in a pinch. I ordered the Sizzling Sirloin* & Spinach– a sirloin, fire-​grilled and miso-​glazed. It comes sizzling with fresh spinach, roasted yellow squash, grilled balsamic-​glazed onions and roasted cremini mushrooms. Paired with fresh tomato mozzarella salad. Under 500 calories. It is tasty– just the right serving size.
The waitress set us up outside because it was a lovely evening and didnt mind that we stayed 2 ½ hours.

I have to say that this place has made a huge 180º.
After having a few not-​so-​memorable experiences eating here I was very happy to see the improvement in food and menu quality… yes I said menu quality. I really like their new menu design look. I especially enjoy their choice of paper stock.
My drink of choice for the night was The BFM, which is basically a Cadillac Margarita. It was very good. Since Friday’s loves to do their 2 – 1 drink I decided to have 2. For appetizers I had the Bacon Mac & Cheese bites. I could have eaten 10 of those! But I had to console my self with only two, since I wasn’t by myself and I guess Sharing is Caring. blah, blah, blah… Anyway, they were 4 delicious little balls of fried mac and cheese with bacon sitting in a plate of cheese and bacon sauce with a piece of fried bacon on top. …Bacon
As my main course I had the Craft Beer-​Cheese Burger. I was craving a good burger and this did not disappoint. The burger comes with chipotle mayo but I ordered that on the side because my partner doesn’t like mayo and again, sharing is caring so on the side it went. This burger besides having delicious beer-​cheese it also had jalapeños and guacamole. It had the perfect kick. Hot but not, OMG my mouth is on fire hot!
I also have to make a note about the service. Our server Daniel T. was perfect. Funny and attentive.
Bravo Friday’s keep up the good work!

This is the worst Friday’s I have ever been too! Multiple times, I’ve dined in and sat at the bar, food is always messed up. Bartender looked like she’d rather be anywhere but there, and was busier with her phone then working.

Service was terrible, my son had to go and look for the waitress. The prices were to much for the quality of the food. It took an hour for our food to arrive. I do not recommend this place.

First visit to Friday’s since they’ve re-​done the menu. Menu is now a fancy book with paper pages. Food was good quality but disappointing in places. They’ve reduced portion size on some dishes. The pretzel dish with beer-​cheese dip now has about 50% less cheese than before which was a big let down as its a personal favourite
They’ve added a few new cocktails, including shakers which were a nice addition to the menu.
The service was excellent however, and made up for the issues with food. When we mentioned about the reduced size of the dip and second dip was brought out on the house.
A good place to visit.

Ok este lugar es muy bueno para un pre comienzo de sabado o viernes por la noche, los tragos siempre bien servidos, cuentan con una extensa variedad de cervesas americanas como Samuel Adams, cherry wheat, blue moon Guinness, etc. lo unico Malo es que no tienen cervezas latinas en barril como xx I corona (solo en botella), mas sin encanbio el restaurante cuenta con excelente servicio y ambiente para solteros (el bar) y ambiente familiar.
this place is really good for a pre game on Saturday or Friday, drinks are all very well served
And they have an extend variety of beers such as: Samuel Adams, cherry wheat blue moon and so on, the only down side is that they don’t have Latino beers on tap such as dos xx or corona, overall this place had great family and single ambiance/​environment

Absolutely the most terrible and slow service at the bar that I have ever had. It was slightly busy, but they had 4 people back there, and not a single one of them seemed to be working.
It took 10 minutes for the bartenders to even notice me even though I was the only person sitting at a 10′ section of the bar. Once I was finally able to order my food it took a very long time to show up. When it finally did the sweet potato fries were cold and it seemed like half were missing.
None of the staff ever came by during my entire stay to ask if I wanted another drink, to see how the food was, or if I needed anything.
I could have probably have walked out of this place without paying if I didn’t have any morals since the staff payed 0 attention to their job. This place was a disappointment.

I haven’t been to this location in forever. Went actually due to someone giving me a gift card.
After being seated, it took a few minutes for the waitress to come around, but it wasn’t that bad of a wait. She was nice, which excused the slight wait.
The food is decent, but not something that I have to go back for. I suggest the boneless wings if anything. Menu is a tad bit pricey, but acceptable.
The main problem with this place is that it definitely needs to be cleaned. The menus had food on them, and the booths were equally dirty. The TV in the booth (which is a nice touch, but some of the cable channels come in snowy), was very dirty. Looked as if no one cleaned them for a long while. Fingerprints and smears on them. This location definitely needs to step up their cleaning game. Maybe have the hostess that was just standing around doing nothing but watch the bar TV’s do something productive? Just a suggestion I guess.

Flight came in late so everything else was closed. Got the French onion soup and Cajun pasta. The soup was syrupy and the bread hard. The pasta though seasoned well was under cooked and stuck together. Overall worst experience at a Fridays.

Two stars is me being generous.
The fries were too salty and cold. The drink I ordered was so sweet it burnt my mouth.
The desert chocolate brownie was a thin crust with warm melted ice cream.
My coffee had a bright red lipstick ring on the mug.
But the servers were nice.
It was not worth my money. I’m not going back.
