After sitting in an empty restaurant for about 20 min. Nobody ever came to our table. Then a server walked by, probably saw our faces. He asked if any one had helped us. We said no, and he said "yea this isn't my table" started to say not my problem. We told him no problem. We know it's always a joke at this location. But we love Fridays so we always go back + try. This day we left with no service which means no food. Wish this location could get it together.

This TGIF has lots of hours, food is consistent. Buckets of bones is excellent, and million dollar club salad w salmon and their bourbon sauce is the bomb!+ TYVM ?

This was a mediocre experience. My biggest complaint is that our server trash talked their co-worker constantly. I've worked in the service industry before and this just isn't considerate behavior. Your guest are there to socialize in a nice positive atmosphere. Yes, the drinks from the bar did take an incredibly long time to be made but don't complain to your guests. The food once we got it was good with some minor errors. Getting the receipt was quite a wait however. The staff seemed chaotic but possibly this was just a rough shift. We probably won't be back with so many other options in the area that have better atmospheres.

You know I don’t normally complain about food because I can eat really anything. But the food I just got from this place was worst than prison food. Stay away from the fajitas. Shrimp over cooked, steak not cooked to order and the tortillas were rock hard. Seems like they were left over from the day before. The bed of rice they serve it on was absolutely one of the worst things I’ve ever eaten. Poorly seasoned. I could have cooked better minute rice at home. For the price you pay for that item (23.95 for the protein combo) it’s not worth it.But the one good thing I’ll say is, the server was amazing. Super pleasant and friendly. Super quick with a request.All in all, I’ll never come back to this place.

I did enjoy the atmosphere and I really felt like the team was trying their best. It seemed like they were very overwhelmed and it was clear... the host was really kind but a little all over the place. Our table had trash under it when he brought us there and awkwardly stopped seating us to clean it. I loved the effort and it definitely made the experience more human, but not fine dining by any means. Our server was one of the bartenders, and I LOVED his drink reccomendation. Our apps were good, but when the main meals came out my salad was very wrong... I also ordered a vegan burger and it was okay. They replaced the salad but still got it wrong ?. We might come back, but it was an ok experience for the $80 bill we received. Not really worth it in my eyes, we could have gone to Red Robin and recieved an overall better bang for our buck. Keep striving for better! There's potential for sure.Vegetarian options: I got the veggie burger made "vegan style", the patty was a little try and had the consistency of spam. Not really the texture I'm looking for when it comes to a burger dupe. I've had better at home.

Food was good when we got it. Had to wait on the chicken that went with my steak and had to ask for the shrimp they forgot to bring that went with my husband's dinner. Then we didn't get our appetizer till we where done eating. An to top it off they over charged my bank card 100

The food was good as always but this trip was better because it was the best server ever. Baylor was his name and his service was above and beyond the usual restaurant service you get now. He was constantly checking tables and making sure we were good. I tipped way more than I normally do but he earned every bit. Hopefully the right people see this review.

I've had cheese sticks from a multitude of places, these are the worst I've ever experienced....I wouldn't classify it as a cheese stick, just crumbs!!!!! Don't waste your time or money.....

The location we visited had no wait at lunch time. Every aspect of service from the staff was wonderful!My party ordered fish and chips that were crispy and fresh. The kids brocoli was steamed just right. The kids macaroni and cheese was cheesy and the right portion for a toddler. I will order the AL Pastor boneless wings again.The blue cheese has nothing in the way of flavor. Don't order the chips and salsa. It cost $4 for 19 chips and a small cup of salsa.Overall, give your local TGIF a try for lunch.Kid-friendliness: The appetizers and kids menu leave a lot of options for different appetites.
