A stud-tastic clusterfunk of hotties.  Yes, it's shallow... but there are men working here who are seriously worthy of an all night make-out session.  From David Archuleta at the host podium, to our Italio-Rican server, this place definately quenched my man thirst.

So, it would be five stars, but the service was rather slow... the food was standard...

It's ok.  I was here recently and I am never wowed by the food.  It's a relatively new location so it's clean and new inside.  I like drinking here but - why go here when there's a Texas Roadhouse nearby!?!?  If you're gonna go out to eat, go someplace GOOD, not this joint.
It looks nice inside - it wasn't busy but probably cause everyone was eating good food over at the place just mentioned.  Now I am hungry for Texas Roadhouse... .Skip this place, please.

The soda was hot, the soup was cold.  Everything tasted like it was full of garlic. The bathrooms were gross and I didn't see one of the servers was her hands when she exited the bathroom. Our server couldn't wait to get off of the clock, but at least she tried to still be friendly, and I kind of don't blame her for wanting to get out of there. There was weird things stuck to the walls, like an Operation game and Crayons glued to the walls. Maybe it is a daycare center at night.

Ick, Ick Ick. I have tried Fridays numerous times and each time it gets worse. This last time will in fact be the last time. There is nothing like ice cold mac and cheese and a surly waitress to make your already tough day. I do not understand why these places exist or stay in business.I don't get why they even have cooks, I guess to make it look like its a real restaurant  all they do is throw your food in a microwave. If I could score negative I would. GROSSEST FOOD EVER!

This is in the bottom of restaurants I've been too. Every time I've ordered food, the service is slow and most of the waitresses are not that friendly. I have Dined-in as well done take out;both times the service is subpar and slow. When I do take out, their really isn't no one there and waitresses could be passing by and see I'm waiting, and just go on. I have also ordered fish and chips and it was a meager portion. I also ordered shrimp and broccoli and it too was a small portion. Only a decent waitress has courtesy to stop and ask if I'm all set or get someone to service me. The worst experience I received is when we- my family and I- were in a big group(10 people) to celebrate my siblings graduating HS. Service was extremely SLOW and I consider myself patient; it took them awhile to get our food. And  even a couple sitting near us shared the frustration of slow service. I worked in a restaurant before as a hostess and if service was expected to be slow, we are courteous and tell the guest or apologize. When the hostile waitress finally brought our food, she forget about the utensils and had to remind her. And then, she brought it back angrily. One of my cousins got steak and it was extremely small, as if it made for a child to eat. We left the money under the plate so she could search for it,lol. I think we left no tip for that hostile, grumpy rude waitress and rightly so. She never checked up on us once, which you are supposed to do as a waitress. We saw the manager and the waitress search for the cash, as if we were trying to get a meal for free. But it was a night to celebrate so we didn't let that Witch steal out joy.

There was a time when I could be lured into Friday's, but I've learned to just say no.  Do you want to go to Friday's and grab a burger?  No thanks, they make me puke.  Do you want to share some appetizers?  No way, they always come out cold and tasting like garlic.  Do you just want to have a margarita?  No, it's watered down and overpriced.  What about a beer?  They're served warm and flat.

Learn from my many mistakes.  Just say no...

I don't normally eat at TGIFridays because I still have working taste buds but it was late and it was the closest thing open to where we were running errands.

I won't even bother talking about the food because, after all, it's T.G.I.Friday's and I don't think they're trying.

What concerned me was the amount of crap on the floor: food, crumpled up paper, random fluids and other litter. The table was clean enough but when we ordered drinks there was a big, dead fly in my wife's cosmo. We pointed this out to the waitress and she said she'd bring us a new one but because of MA liquor laws they couldn't remove it from the bill. She couldn't even comp us on our meals or didn't want to bother.

Really, this is one of those places that should get 0 stars. Lesson learned.

It was cold out...we were hungry. The food was decent. Nice decor. This is the second TGIF's I've ever been too.  I had fish and chips. Average grease. Great great ice tea!!! I think I had 3 glass fulls. Niece loved her Mac & Cheese. She gobbled up most of my fish too. Good variety for picky eaters, kids and adults. Good variety on their kids' menus. OMG I sound like a mom. Hahahhahaa

We had a really nice waiter that came and checked on us often. It rings true! When ya don't need them they are there...when ya need them they are nowhere to be found. We left stuffed.

Just wish they can get rid of them plastic weave baskets they serve fried stuff on. Hot greasy food and plastic don't rank well with me.

This TGI should close done. This is the worst restaurant I have ever been too. I scored a one star because I couldn't score least. My husband and I went there last Tuesday our server was Kary, she was extremely rude. After we paid, I made sure to tell the Store Manager how awful our experience was, and that we would not be coming back. He apologized,  and offered us a free appetizer gift card, we said no thanks, We dont want anything for free, we would just like the service to improve.

There actually was a day when I use to REALLY like T.G.I. Friday's... Oh, thats right, it was when TGIF on Newbury Street was still open. Does anyone else miss that place? Well, this location is a far cry from that TGIF. It pretty much sucks. I have given this one MANY chances. It doesn't ever get better.

Normally I wouldn't offend my mouth by putting TGIF food in it, but there was a wait at Texas Roadhouse and we were starving.  So we opted to sit in the bar area where there are numerous t.v.s. We thought this might distract us from the tacky decor of the place. Unfortunately, the bar area smelled... well, like a bar. A dive bar. (stale beer and dirty mop water.) The waitress was nice enough and promptly took our drink orders (a coke and iced tea.) We perused the menu trying to find something that might not make us ill. We decided on the 3 course meal menu. I ordered a garden salad, chicken fingers and Oreo cake for dessert. The salad was icky. It had the white part of ice berg lettuce, a couple slices of cucumber, cheese, some croutons and a tiny little dollop of balsamic vinaigrette. Not the veggie goodness I was hoping for. The chicken tenders were pretty basic and the fries were alright. The cake was better than expected except for the yucky iicing.
My boyfriend went with the 3 course combo as well. He ordered the fried macaroni and cheese which was actually pretty tasty. He also got a half slab of ribs that were pretty dry and bland,and he ordered the Cinnabon cheesecake for dessert which was not bad.
I have to say that the 2 best parts of the entire dining experience was that the ice tea was fresh brewed (I hate the tea from the gun) and they gave us these awesome wet naps that were so big and soft. You can even put them in the microwave for extra umph!
Our bill came to just over $30 before tip.
Take my advice, if you're shopping in the area and find yourself hungry, go to Panera (good bread) or Texas Roadhouse (super tasty rolls and fresh brewed iced tea!)

why all the fuss about friday's

it's pretty consistent

i mean, it's a chain that is in the mid-range for prices, a pretty big selection on the menu, and the bar/drink menu is good too.

ive never had a bad time here, but it's nothing special.

if you don't go with high expectations (i mean it really is nothing special) then you'll be fine.
it's clean, it's comfy, it's fast, it's good, it satisfies.
whatever...

Well this place has permanently ended my love affair with TGIF. I was a big Friday's fan and after trying this spot for numerous times, just holding out that things would get better, I have officially given up. The food here is just barely edible, and its hardly ever warm, I just don't get it. I know its a chain, but they need to do something about the people in the kitchen. Service is ok, i do give them that as I usually find the waiters friendly. Bar is usually full of loud obnoxious people that just makes the already horrible dining experience more horrible!! I would go elsewhere, maybe next time I will try Texas Roadhouse, sorry it had to end this way Friday's.

we were hungry.  it was convenient.  the wait had the potential to really suck, but our server was nice, and they now have healthy (er) items on the menu.  but it's still a chain filled with obnoxious teenagers who have nowhere better to go on a saturday night.
