    Had a wonderful experience with my fiance tonight. Our hostess Nicole was cheerful, welcoming and a joy overall! He was very happy with his LIT, jack n coke and grilled whiskey glaze chicken. I had the dragon glaze salmon (absolute perfection) and I attempted their Barbados Rum Punch ( highly recommend trying it frozen! ). Overall very happy with how our night went in this gross weather and recommend to anyone!

    Just a nice chill place to get cheap cocktails and rack up the rewards. The entrees are subpar It's great to come here for the inexpensive all day drink deals. I do enjoy the Lavender Lemon Drop martini, Purple LIT & Electric Blue lemonade drinks are fantastic. Jaiden and Ryan are wonderful servers/bartenders. The new inexpensive appetizers are good, The totals with the truffle aioli is delicious.

    Greeted and sat immediately. Our server however was never notified she had a table, so she only showed up after the hostess was asked who out server was. Brought out chips and salsa as an appetizer and disappeared. Had to ask multiple times for napkins and refills and when asking to split the check they looked confused. The food was decent pub food but nothing to brag about. Overall not a great experience.

    Our waitress was the saving grace of this experience. Food was edible but the chicken was very dry. She wanted to re-do it for us but we were on a time crunch. Their $10 lunch specials are so so.

    Waitress was a sweetheart. Food was good. Portion sizes okay. Didn't love the "new appetizer" menu. (We had to order three "orders" of potstickers, for three people). I understand the single serving idea but, perhaps a 2 to 4 person order option would more fun for sharing). Drinks were good although the blood orange margarita, didn't taste very orangey. It tasted like a regular margarita, which was good but not what expected.

    My wife and I don’t go out to eat often due to our 18 month old son. Tonight we decided to go to TGIF with our son at first the server was on point he refilled our drink right away, the other server was friendly to my son. Then the FOOD ARRIVED the WIngs was DRY, the Chips for the dips are STALE, The worst part is my wife and I have our food, but my sons food did not came out the same time as our food. I didn’t wanna complain at the time, I seen Waiting with Ryan Renolds I didnt want “special sauce” on my food. Oh yeah my wife and I didn’t get a small plate to put our food in. I wasted my time and hard earn money for a over cook WINGS and STALE CHIPS , I hope management change things. I’m very disappointed this place use to be my wife and I spot before we had our son.

    Sometimes we dine in and sometimes I just take out. It's really good using their app and ordering something. The food is usually ready on tim, and it's very convenient if you want to take home food. When your a TGIF Points member, you get free chips and salsa which is great cuz I love chips and salsa. One thing I have to say about this place it does not take long to get enough points to start getting freebies. Anywhere from dessert to actual free dinner. And I've reached free dinner many times because it does not take long to get to that point so I have to say that this is great and it makes you want to go back again besides their food being really good

    I came with a party of 7 yesterday, food was good After sending some of it back multiple times. The Long Island Iced Tea I sent back was total water I took a sip and sent it back. The first drink we wanted they were out , the second was weak , the Long Island water . Don’t need extra just what it’s supposed to have . The young server dude was Awesome. Gave him a $20 tip other member also gave him a $20 tip. Bartender and cook need some training.

    I usually fine herewith my wife every Saturday and some days of the week here and there, for the most part it's a good experience, food it's not always 100% I guess it depends who is cooking that day, but rarely disappointed with the place, love their onion rings though... Super delicious 🤤 Most of servers are amazing specially Jess, she is amazing 👍

    Every time we have eaten at TGIF's, there has been little to disappoint. Our servers have been friendly and attentive. The food is consistently fantastic and prepared with care. They always accommodate modifications and are even open to creating new combinations. The atmosphere is peaceful and non chaotic. We mainly dine in, but they provided the same quality of meal the two times we have picked up. They are timely and serve things up with pride. Updated: rating went down due to our last experience there. We left feeling disappointed in all three categories. Went from extraordinary to ordinary. We won't be going back anytime soon

    I absolutely loved what I got which was Crispy Shrimp entrée with fries and some sort of whiskey sauce. My mother-in-law also loved her meal but everyone else in our family did not like their meals. My sister-in-law ordered BBQ boneless wings but they no longer have BBQ sauce and served it with a garlic butter sauce. Very weird. Our waitress was very sweet but she was new and messed in the orders so bad and when it came time to pay it was all sorts of messed up. Other than that I was happy with my order.

    Great food as always , very welcoming host this time! Great server as well! The jack Daniel's whiskey glaze apps are a must.

  • 5/5 Nicole D. 10 months ago on Google
    I have to say the food was delicious. From the steak to the mashed potatos and even the broccoli! Our waitress was such a doll and so fun too. 898/Gianna. Every else in my party loved their food too. Even the toddlers gobbled it up and our waitress was interactive with them and helping them have even more fun yesterday.

    This was my first time at Friday's and I enjoyed every minute of it. The service was excellent! Our server John gave us recommendations on drinks and they were actually really good. He was so polite and patient with my friends and I! We were a handful but he didn't mind one bit, and his customer service attitude was perfection! I would come back just to be served by him again because he was so kind and sweet!

    Obsessed with the million dollar Cobb salad however Toms River location never ate there before and when I did probably won’t be going back. I was served old salad which clearly was BROWN AND OLD AVOCADO WHICH ALSO WAS BROWN. Not serve why it was served to me because just looking at it wasn’t presentable

  • 5/5 Cherryl B. 1 year ago on Google
    It was very nice. The only one thing was that the steak was just smaller than I expected, but it was cooked perfect and seasoned well. Our server was great and friendly. The food was brought out in a timely manner and hot.

  • 1/5 Jessica J. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered 60 dollars worth of food to go. I asked for flats on my large order of wings I got all drumsticks they tasted old. The sesame chicken was disgusting. Never ever ever again.

  • 4/5 brendan k. 1 year ago on Google
    Very empty on a Saturday night. Burger was good. Good service. Was more expensive than Applebee's or Chili's.

  • 1/5 Scott M. 1 year ago on Google
    The food sucked and it was cold. What you pay for and what you actually get on your plate is misleading. For example my GF ordered the fried shrimp platter for 17.99 dollars and all she got was 8 tiny shrimps and lots of fries and I got was the bucket of bones and I had 6 pieces of chicken wings and one piece of baby back ribs with hardly any meat one it. The night manager that we spoke with was very rude and didn't care. She then turned back around and said to us go somewhere else to eat I have been to plenty of TGI Fridays and I have never experienced anything like this

  • 2/5 Joe C. 1 year ago on Google
    Food and apps came out at the same time. The overall quality of Fridays food for the franchise has gone down. That isn't a knock on this location but the overall quality of the food.

  • 4/5 Karen A. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for casual dinner. Whiskey glazed burger, seasoned fries, whiskey glazed grilled chicken sandwich, seasoned fries.....delicious!!! Too much for me to eat but enough for my husband. Just good enough for a night out for two to relax.

  • 4/5 Bridgette B. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was really good & the drinks were great! Our waitress was attentive & the atmosphere was cool & clean. All guest were seated at a nice distance apart & we felt very comfortable. However, deducted a star because our food was luke warm. One of my friend's sent her fries back for a fresh batch but overall, we enjoyed our visit.

    I stopped last minute for a late lunch a week or so ago. It was a weekday, the staff were so great. My waitress was doing double duty by also tending bar and she still made sure I was taken care of with anything I could have needed. Food was hot and came out in a timely manner. The best part, Neil Diamond came on over the speakers and we all started belting out Sweet Caroline. Wonderful lunchtime experience. Glad I stopped in.

    If I could use no stars I would especially for service. John was our server and it seemed as if taking shots and talking with his friends at the bar was more important than getting boxes or making sure the food was good or even getting the check. I had given benefit of the doubt many times through the service but things like that are just inexcusable. Very disappointing that my best friends birthday was spent there
