    The food is excellent, but very expensive. You'll pay outrageous $20 for a combo. Service is very slow, the waiters just can't be bothered.

    Good food, nice venue! I can really recommend to go here if you are looking for an American Diner! Menus are also available in English, but there is no English speaker working there 😂. Cheers.

    This is a great place and has been here ofr well over 20 years. Is a standard TIG Friday but pretty big inside. It is currently as of May 2020 being completely remodled so is closed right now. But good to see it staying in the same spot. Prices are reasonable in an area of Panama City that tends to be a bit high priced

    Such a typical American Diner and my expectation was definitely delivered. The vibe is amazing. Soft drink is free to refill and their glasses are huge. They will also bring free water out. The staff is very attentive and friendly but they don't speak English so just ask for an English menu and you can point at what you want. We had their signature platter and chicken wings. They were amazing, ribs are a bit dry but I love their sauce. In my opinion, Cajun prawns are the best. Chicken wings are flavourful. I've always wanted to try a real American strawberry lemonade soda 😅 and it's really good but just a bit too sweet for my usual taste (well, it's American 🤷🏻‍♀️) We ordered one dessert to share and it's the best decision ever. Baked apple with vanilla ice-cream is always the best classic.

    Got order wrong, did not serve water, moist toilettes were dry, and did not give a large napkin or extra napkins. These are standard things that the waitress failed at. I never had this happen to me before.

    Good American style restaurant, but expensive. I just eat the meats (just two options, New York or filet mignon). Meat meals are well prepared and always in the way you desire. Don’t expect lots of options. The staff is very nice and helpful. The space is large and comfortable.

    Good place, to chill nice food and drinks, talking about prices it's a bit expensive but it's fine, the service it's slow to be honest.

    (Translated by Google) We went for cocktails on January 8, 2020 at 10:00 pm. We waited 27 minutes and nobody ever came to attend us, we tried to call the salonman 3 times and pretended not to see each other. We will believe in the place and will definitely never return. (Original) Fuimos por unos cócteles el 8 de enero de 2020 a las 10:00 pm. Esperamos 27 minutos y jamás llegó nadie a atendernos, intentamos llamar al salonero 3 veces y fingía no vernos. Noscretiramos del lugar y definitivamente jamás volveremos.

    (Translated by Google) The TGIF on Calle 50 always arrives all fresh and on time, the staff is quite friendly and unwrapped, usually where I go for work I don't go for casual meals but with this break this rule. (Original) El TGIF de calle 50 siempre llega todo fresco y a tiempo, el personal es bastante amable y desenvuelto, generalmente donde voy por trabajo no voy en comidas casuales pero con este rompo esta regla.

  • 2/5 Dusty T. 4 years ago on Google
    Not what we really expected for a TGIF. This place is more of a sports bar than a restaurant. Service was the typical "I don't care you are a customer, I don't want to have to work". The servers are there to text messages on their phones, hide in the back talking with coworkers, or visiting with people they know. We ordered two dishes. Soup, which the server brought out immediately, and a Cesar salad with Salmon. The salad took 20 minutes to prepare. My wife had finished her soup long before my salad arrived. If she hadn't eaten it when she did the soup would have been very cold by the time my salad was serverd. Too many other great restaurants to eat at. We won't be back.

    Great spot for lunch. Food is consistent, service is great. Restaurant just crowded enough. Free drink refills, clean organized location.

  • 1/5 Douglas C. 8 months ago on Google
    Don't expect to be served here. If you want a free place to sit it's okay. I sat at the bar for 15 minutes when the place was empty and left as staff continued to clean and do more important things than their core job. It's always been bad the three times I've been there but now I'll never be back.

    The food was ok, nothing special but service not the best waiting more than 30 mins to get the food and after I finish the side the waitress never came to ask me for a refill

    Unfortunately, the service was not ok, people like me who love TGIF, will go back, but for those who is their first time, believe me, they aren't not going to eat there again! btw, music was awesome 👍🏼

  • 4/5 Dominik B. 5 years ago on Google
    As we are Europeans we were excited to try TGI Fridays. All in all we weren't disappointed but it won't become our favorite burger place. When we visited the TGI Fridays in Panama City the staff was very friendly, the order was prepared fast and it tasted good. If you never tried before, you should go and give it a try! This specific branch has a cool design and they show sports on several TV's. Mojitos área quite tasty too! Go there with friends and pass some time!

  • 3/5 Frost J. 6 years ago on Google
    An international franchise chain restaurant, this place in the last couple of years is a hit or miss, sometimes the food arrives perfectly done while sometimes it might arrive a lukewarm or not looking as it probably should. The desserts and cocktails are always spot on but then again there is less margin for error there. Service is usually food unless the place is full. There are also not enough parking spots if the place is packed.

    Ill be honest this its not the place for me I went because my friend son wanted to go there. Never the less they make a mean burger...

  • 3/5 Roger J. Rodríguez B. 4 years ago on Google
    The environment in this place is good, food is definitely good, workers are kind but overloaded they cannot keep when the restaurant is full there are too many tables and you end up either waiting too long and leaving or waiting more than 20min for the bill to leave. The cook also gets overloaded since it takes longer for the food to arrive, it is a nice place but management should hire more people.
