TGI Friday’s

Horrible service, but ill still post you a star. We waited for good 15 minutes outside in the patio and no one came to serve us. Your lost, we tip real good. Ohh by the way, we just got to Applebee’s.

We went here earlier this morning like 12AM. Thank goodness this place was open we went from Downtown, La Mesa to here and this place was open.
My best friends’ sister just turned 21 and we just wanted some alcohol! So came here a few people inside. There was a server name Travis real nice. Head to the bar and our bartender was Mike super nice & funny! Made us drinks, gave alcohol 101 knowledge to our 21 yr old celebrant lol.
My favorite is the strawberry julep mojito! Tasted so good. Wanted to try more drinks. Oh btw first time going to any TGIF chain. I’m glad I heard good reviews of drinks here. We also got spinach aritchoke dip, chicken (I forgot what it was called but had an asian zing to it) and my go to french fries. Best artichoke dips hands down! I’ve tasted many dips but this is by far my favorite one.
But customer service is great esp being that late and being open late awesome! Thanks! Expect seeing us here from time to time!

We frequent here a lot and was very dissatisfied with our experience last night. We went in after seeing an advertisement for Every hour happy hour good and drink special all day every day but was told that location didn’t honor that ad. When you have a big corporation with restaurants all over the country every location should be doing the same promotions

why can’t this place cook a steak. all they can do well-​done no rare. suck!!!1

Appreciate Hector for taking care of me & my girlfriend coming in at 1:20 AM with outstanding customer service getting our order In on tha last call. Didn’t feel rushed at all to order or eat. Thanks! Idk bout all tha other ppl that work there with bad reviews, but Hector was a great server/​bartender.

Would give a zero rating if I could. The service has always been sub-​par but I loved the food so I would put up with it. Now the food has gone way down-​hill!!! When I finally received my order my fries were cold and my chicken breast was super tough the bacon was raw. I walked out. I don’t recommend this place to anyone!

Come here my birthday and its was just a complete waist of time. ordered and waited for 1.5 hours for our food to come. finally got up to say something even though my gf didn’t want to make a scene. so the manger says its was shift change and they made a mistake… AT 9\pm??? LAME !!

We arrived at 11:20 am. Although the restaurant opened at 11, nobody had been seated yet. There was a line at the door.
Next: we ordered an appetizer and a salad. It took 25 minutes for it to come out of the kitchen to our table. (As a result, the manager comp’d appetizer on our next visit).
Finally: the server kept calling me sweetheart. I’m twice his age.
My opinion: they weren’t ready to be open at the stated time. If the sign says 11am, the grill better be hot, staff better be ready.
We may or may not return.

Grabbed lunch with a girlfriend for happy hour. They have plenty of selection from ½ off on appetizers, $ 4 8oz beers, $ 6 margaritas, etc. The food was great! Unless it was because we were starving? Ha.
The only downfall was the service… Our server wasn’t pleasant and her hospitality wasn’t the greatest. The nice part was we were dine in and not seated at the bar but she still gave us the happy hour prices. She didn’t check up often but didn’t refill water and barely made sure we were doing alright. But it was funny when she was hosting the other tables she would smile and act way more welcoming than with us.

Not wanted there: my boyfriend and I went there to try and have a nice dinner last night and we are in line to speak to the hostess. A man or should I say kid was in front of us waiting to be seated, he threw a fit because of the wait, what do you expect on a Saturday night at 7:30. So we watched that and we both felt sorry for the hostess he ended up seating himself with his group. As we walk up we were completely polite and said that the wait was fine, and then all of a sudden she tells us oh the kitchen is acting up??? So she basically didn’t want to take our service. What the hell! I’ve never had something like that happen to us. Especially with a restaurant as crowded as they were and that someone else was just seated moments before us. I’ll be glad to never go back. The only reason we went was because we had a gift card.

Went here for New Year’s Eve Dinner. Even though there were plenty of open seats, we had to wait 15 – 20 because the kitchen was backed up. Food was ok, waiter was friendly however, he disappeared a few times when we needed refills and our check and we couldn’t find him.

Arrived at 8pm and the hostess said the main dining section was closed. We sat in the bar area. I ordered the smoke stacked burger and it was supposed to have sausage and onions between two patties. There were onions but I did not see sausage. My husband ordered sweet potato fries with his meal and they did not come. Plus side… the Clemson and Alabama game was on tv and our server Aaron was nice and attentive. I used to come to this location more frequently and from those days to now, this place has changed. Not as clean and good as I remember it.

Around 12 last night, this place seemed to be one of the only things open. After reading some reviews, I was expecting a bad experience, but was pleasantly surprised. Jose, our waiter was awesome. He kept our drinks full and kept our food coming out quick. He was also super friendly and had great menu recommendations. Everything was really good. We tried the buffalo and Sriracha wings. Both were great. We also tried the spinach dip and a smoke house burger I believe. All of it was good. I’d definitely come back.

After briefly looking at other reviews it looks like our dissatisfaction is unlike the experiences of others. Our service was pretty good. The waitress was attentive to how quickly we went through our sodas, our food came out quickly, and our orders were correct. The quality of the food was the problem. We ordered a smoked stacked burger, bourbon chicken, and chicken strips. The burger was bland and tasted like a frozen patty. The bourbon chicken had good flavor but the chicken was rubbery. Even our oreo dessert went uneaten because it just wasn’t worth it. This place needs better ingredients for the prices and a menu overhaul.

I used to always come here. This is my second time coming here in over a year and man. I was so disappointed with this trip. Took forever for my order to be taken. Salty pasta with undercooked noodles that cost me $ 16 and super salty sweet potato fries that cost an extra $ 2 for like 15 pieces. I. Don’t. Understand.

I am shocked at the poor treatment I received here I arrived after watching a movie next door and the hostess we could do happy hour at a high top in the bar and to sit wherever we’d like. Excellent. Many of the tables were dirty. In fact we sat at a dirty table before realizing. Then decided to move to the clean table behind us. While there were only three in my party it was the only clean table that was in the area and not next to a larger rowdy group.
The hostess then returned a short while later asking us to move because she knows large parties will come in. Because she’s worked there a while. She knows. But you don’t have to move. But she could clean a table. It’s not a big deal. Passive aggressive, right. It was 1047 when I left. Over half the bar tables were open. Too much to write here. But after the way she spoke to us it was clear they did not need my business. Clearly.
I will be calling Buddy, the GM tomorrow. I cannot believe the terrible guest service I received. I was inconveniencing her. I was inconveniencing these anticipated patrons who have yet to arrive. The way I was treated will ensure that I not only go to that location, but I will be sure to share this experience with others so they too won’t be treated in such a fashion.

First time here, I’ve always been excited to try it out and was a bit disappointed. The hostess at the door wasn’t too happy, seemed like she was in a bad mood. We asked for a booth and she said it was a 5 – 10 minute wait. The place was pretty empty so why make us wait. Nice enough to see there was a dirty one, asked to clean it for us and sat us down. We ordered the spinach dip and was pretty good. Although it was odd there were fries with the chips. We got burgers with fries and the buns were really dry. My bread fell apart after 2 bites. I also ordered the Midori mason jar drink and it mostly tasted like the Midori and coconut rum was watered down. Our server was very polite and friendly. Maybe she should have been at the door instead. I don’t think we’ll be coming back.

Wan’t alcohol in your child’s orange juice? How about a waitress that disagrees with your assessment when brought to their attention? You’re in luck, this is the perfect place for that.
I’m not expecting a free meal or a coupon for my next visit, just a simple, «Hey, we screwed up. Our deepest apologies.» But not a word after the drink was quickly taken away as to hide the evidence like someone had just committed a capital crime.
Tldr; 1. Customers have no idea what they’re talking about. 2. Waitress is a skillful clairvoyant detective in all things children’s drink related. 3. Apologies are for suckas. We don’t do that here.

I came here for happy hour. My experience was just okay. The mango mojito was delicious and refreshing. Two thumbs up for that. I ordered a basket of fries and asked for it to be cooked crispier (well done). My fries seemed as if they were cooked for a standard order. They definitely weren’t crispy. For $ 1.50 a basket, no big deal. I didnt see the sense in sending it back despite my disappointment. Their entrée menu is huge and prices are reasonable so I plan on returning to give it a try.

I saw a commercial for TGIF and it had the unlimited appetizer special again for $ 10. So the way it works is for $ 10 you can get unlimited appetizers from a special menu but the catch is you can only get the same thing that you ordered. For $ 12 you can pick different appetizers each time so I think it’s worth the extra $ 2.
We tried:
Buffalo, cider glaze, miso and Memphis bbq for the boneless wings. I liked the Buffalo and bbq. The cider glaze tasted like cinnamon toast crunch. Miso was an Asian type of taste.
We also got mozzarella sticks, loaded potato skins, pan seared pot stickers, and bbq chicken Flatbread. The loaded potato skin was fried and not baked. I personally didn’t like it. The bbq chicken Flatbread was pretty tough and I only ate one peice.
Overall, TGIF is ok. If you have nowhere else to go, then head out here. This is my 4^th or 5^th choice of places to go if everything else is closed or busy.
