    Had a fabulous time here. The food was nice and hot and amazing. The ribs were fall off the bone good. We were so filled we couldn’t finish all that food. The new cocktail Alabama something (forgot the name) was amazing. Can’t wait to come back had a very satisfactory delicious couple of meals and can’t wait to try something else off their menu. The pictures speak for themselves.

    So decided to go here with my girlfriend for our 4 year anniversary and this place was 💣, but honestly for our first time ever being here it was so good. But on to the food we started our meal with loaded potato skins which were flavorful and tasted so good, and then our entrées came in I had the traditional full rack ribs with 🥔's and coleslaw and my girlfriend had the a sirloin steak with 🥦 and 🥔's. We both finished our meals thoroughly, meaning it was a fantastic meal so definitely don't miss out on a great meal at TGI Fridays chicago it's awesome. Also the waiter was fantastic.

They should stick to hamburgers!

    I was seated immediately when I walked in, the waiter came and took my order within 5 minutes. After he bring me my water, I waited 46 minutes for my food. The waiter walked passed several times never addressed me saying anything about my food. Food was good but customer service can be better. I was about to walk out of the restaurant it took so long I thought they forgot. And the restaurant was not full or croweded.

    Stopped in for brunch on the day of St. Patty's River dyeing. Plenty of room to sit our party of eight. Menu has pretty much every breakfast or lunch item you can imagine. Waffles, pancakes, french toast... Breakfast sandwiches, omelettes, biscuits, steak and eggs prepared as you like. We were famished and our server did a great job juggling multiple tables. Drinks were refreshing and coffee was strong. Food came out hot with crispy fries and the Chicken and Waffles are to die for. Kids menu options are almost adult size, so make room for sharing. "Hash browns" are old fries cut up without much seasoning... Should they put some onions, cheese and seasoning, they would have been a hit. Opt for another breakfast side. Thank God It's Friday, TGIF hit the spot for us without a long wait.

    They were very accommodating. Our waitress was on it. I never had an empty pop. The food was pretty good. My fried shrimp were way over done. We will be back.

    Went in the door was greeted with a “good evening ma’am” & that was pretty much it! Sat there for about 20 minutes & no one offered a menu, asked if I needed anything or would like to order. After realizing that I was probably there so long and my table was empty; the same lady whom had said good evening then ask if I ordered already. I told no ma’am as I was waiting to get a menu. She then apologized and informed me that only had two waitresses (in a big restaurant—with approximately 30 tables or more). Thereafter a waitress came took my order of which I had it to go! Upon receiving my order I checked inside the bag, realizing it was only half of what I order. I then asked the waitress if that was my complete order & she said she had to verify with the chef as she was uncertain. Turns out to be they forgot half of what I paid for. Also the quantity was so small I don’t think I was given a proportionate amount of serving (to go). My ratings would’ve been! Service: ⭐️ Food: ⭐️⭐️ Ambiance: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

    It's your boy again, TGIF one of the first Fridays in Chicago and Downtown... Rubs and whiskey bbq sauce was good, Mac and cheese 🧀 was ok but what you expect and the greens beans need just a little more flavor....nice to be back there where it all started with Family.

    The wings was ok not hot enough it was a little dry. The dragon glazed salmon was good with the he rice, didn’t care to much for the lemon broccoli. The salad was fresh and crisp wish they add to chicken breast instead of one with a lot of salad. But over all I really love the salmon.

    Great experience! Our server Halie was super attentive, made sure our drinks were refilled and ended every interaction with a smile. She handled every request in a prompt manner. Would definitely recommend asking for her when coming to in

    I went to this location because I had no other idea and wanted to check it out. I was with another person with me and which we ordered different thing. My food was okay but it wasn't instantly good. I wouldn't be quick to take another trip here. My steak was so tiny at one point I asked about it.

    This food was Grade +A served hot and cooked to perfection, I don’t eat meat but I heard the steak was also perfectly cooked and we didn’t wait very long with a helpful sever I loved it

  • 3/5 Merlin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Ribs were tender but unseasoned. sesame chicken was extra sweet and after a few, it became too much. Shrimp was very good, but literally only a few. The coleslaw I was counting on to be great but it was not. First of all, I paid 3.99 for a little more than 2 fork-fulls. Second, it was way below average for slaw. It was basic and the recipe needs major improvement. There was absolutely no sweetness or vinegar added...just cabbage and mayo. Friday's has good food but this combo was NOT!!!!

    We were pleased with the food. But the service was outstanding. Forgot the waiters name but he was excellent. We were there on December 26th.

    Much better than I remember this store in the past. The steak was cooked perfectly, although I did order it “no salt” so I can’t speak to the usual seasoning. The Cole slaw was freshly made and perfect. Shrimp was good. Wings were actually excellent. Service was a little slow or neglectful sometimes but always friendly. I would definitely return.
