T G I Fridays

Great visit to a TGI Fridays in Opry Mills. The food was cooked with a great temperature, and had full flavor. The bar drinks were mixed great and tasted amazing. The atmosphere was great on a Friday night. Basketball on the TV and good music going throughout the restaurant.

All of our food was good. Our server went above and beyond to take care of us. I loved my French fries)
My husband had ribs and my niece with nephew some sort of sandwiches with chicken and shrimp) everyone was happy.

Seated immediately in the bar area.
Ordered as soon as I was ready.
Server forgot to bring sweetener with unsweet tea. Eventually had to ask someone else for it once food arrived.
I had the triple appetizer — boneless buffalo wings, soft pretzel sticks with beer cheese and pot stickers. All were really good.
After I finished, I kept waiting to be offered something else, specifically the dessert menu.
Eventually I gave up settled my ticket and went to Starbucks instead.
Too many other choices nearby to consider going back.

I just ordered the pick 3 appetizer. It was typical frozen and heated wings and pot stickers. I was really disappointed in the potato skins. Come on Fridays! Your skins are so popular that you make a bagged chip version and now you go and change the real ones in the restaurant? The looked they had put a glob of cheese whiz and some bacon bits on these former American Classic gone wrong. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

The waitress was very nice and the food took no time at all. I am surprised that this has so many bad reviews.

The slowest place I have ever eaten. When we asked about our order, the server told us it was our fault because we ordered an appetizer (a bowl of soup). After that she was a LOT less friendly. Food was cold and overcooked. I would never go back here.

I came here yesterday before doing some shopping between three and four o’clock, and I was alone so I just sat at the bar expecting to drink a little and get some food. I was promptly asked what I’d like to drink, but when I produced my ID-​not my driver’s license, but still a state issued ID-​I was refused alcohol service because the bartender was unfamiliar with the form of ID. That did not bother me too much as I was just hungry and wanted food, so I waited for her to come back and offer me a nonalcoholic drink and a menu. I sat there for about five minutes, and when the bartender began washing dishes directly in front of me, it was clear I was not going to get service. I will not be returning to this establishment.

Absolute WORST Fridays I’ve ever been to. Overpriced, TERRIBLY weak drinks, douche bag bartenders (who think they’re cool), crap service and NO specials. Complete FAIL, Fridays. You used to be awesome but your corporate, money-​hungry BOD has ruined the entire establishment. We will NOT be coming back EVER, no matter how many coupons you send me. You F’d up BIG TIME and lost our business forever.

The good:
–drinks from the bar were delicious and stiff.
The bad:
–waitress failed to give us straws for our water until after our entrees arrived.
–mozzarella sticks arrived completely hollow with no cheese inside (sounds impossible, but see the picture)!
–appetizer plate contained incorrect item.
–slow and in attentive service — we were only asked how our food was when we were handed the bill, despite multiple problems with our meal.
Overall, this was the worst meal I’ve had in quite a while. Go somewhere else unless you’re only sitting at the bar!

Great service at the bar, from Michael! He was outgoing and very personable, which is hard to find nowadays. I always appreciate when a bartender can actually make us feel like were people, not just another «ticket»
Food was great, and the drinks were super tasty! We will be back!

Good food and good drinks. Sitting at the bar instead of waiting. Staff was excellent. And service was prompt. You can always count on Fridays. Did observe some different drinks and bartenders were offering great explanation. Of what they were

Being a former Fridays employee I usually come to Fridays to know exactly what kind of service I’m getting. We sat at the bar for dinner on a Saturday night. We were greeted promptly and informed of the special but that was the end of the «Fridays experience» from our bartender. I was not even asked what I wanted to drink for another ten minutes, not because he was busy with guests or in the well, he was just stocking and not worried about making tips. The food runner brought us our food and checked if we needed anything. The three bartenders now did not check on us until after our food was finished and empty beer glasses sat for almost ten minutes. It’s a shame because my boyfriend and I are both in the industry and love to hang out with our servers or bartenders and leave great tips. You might want to review what TGIFridays expectations are Gary (name from our receipt)

The mall location tends to be pretty busy. Go sit at the bar and you can get pretty good service right away. They have a lot more options both food and drink wise then they use too. They are also very consistent on their output of food. It’s not amazing food, but way better than other chains out there

Went here yesterday Thursday Was greeted @the door. The service was ok. they bought my food before I could finish my appetizer. .but it was good food

Awful service. I sat at the bar and had a terrible expierence. My French onion soup was so thick it was more like gravy than soup. My entrée was cold when it came out. I would have told my bartender this but he just cleared my plates after several minutes without even allowing me the opportunity to. Never once did he check on me to see if I needed anything.

Oh my goodness… we went to TGI Friday’s for lunch and I am always a fan…
We sit in the bar area because we enjoy the seating and the feel of individual televisions. We were watching some Hockey.
We opted to order our normal «Wings and Spinach Flatbread Pizza» with his usual Budweiser and my unsweetened tea with lemon and lime… but we saw the table top card showing off the New STACKED Cheeseburgers… so we changed our mind.
We ordered the Philly Stacked Cheeseburger with fries. and the Spinach Flatbread Pizza… with our drink order… and OMG… that burger was so Delicious!!!
I am not much of a burger person, but when I do bite into one that is over the top… I have to mention it.
This burger was so FREAKING good and I was realizing I wished I had ordered my own… lol!!! We always order and share… and I hated the idea that I had to give up the other half of my burger… I wanted to be selfish and EAT it all myself…
Darn it!
Next time I definitely WILL !!!
I highly recommend this Burger!!!
It cost $ 11 and some change with fries… yes $ 11 almost $ 12 for a burger. but worth every penny and every BITE…
Let me know what you think???

Showed up on Friday, July 5 at 6pm. This was a holiday with a major country singer booked at the Opryland Hotel for a concert. We were told there would be at least a hour wait because they were under staffed. When I asked about the 15 empty tables the hostess told me there was no staff scheduled to service these tables.
I asked for the manager in charge of staffing and was told no one was available.
We did not wait because if they could not anticipate the needs of there customers how could they satisfy our needs.
We enjoyed a great meal at another restaurant who planned and staffed for a Holiday week day with a concert.
Never again,

I haven’t been to Friday’s in years, nothing had really impressed me in the past. However my best friend wanted to have lunch there so I figured why not… Well, I was blown away, loved everything we had !! The BBQ chicken flat bread was so good and the parmesan crusted chicken was even better. I’m happy that I gave Friday’s a second chance.

Probably the most reasonably priced dining experience in Opry Mills, excepting the non sit-​down places in the mall food court.
Most of the staff appeared to be pretty new, everything was running a little behind, even though it was a Thursday and they weren’t busy at 7 pm. I noticed at least two people in training, so perhaps they’re having turnover issues… shocking.
It seems they’ve abandoned the Guy Fieri-​inspired menu they were working on last time I came, now they appear to be Jack Daniel’s-centric. That’s certainly an improvement.
In short, it’s about as cliché as an American chain can be. Don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed.

I’ll give this place a 5, simply because it’s a TGI Fridays. Anywhere else would’ve been a 4. Why? Because I went in with pretty low expectations. A large chain in the most crowded area of Nashville is normally a recipe for disaster. I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
I went in with a friend from out of town and we were promptly seated by our extremely friendly and kind waitress. She was great. She pointed out specialties on the menu, and was very knowledgeable about all the dishes offered. My friend was trying to decide between two menu options, and she gave her opinion on which one she would choose and gave him reasons why. And they weren’t reasons like «that one tastes better» or «I don’t like that» either. She said that the first of the options was very traditional, essentially came from a box, and you could find virtually the same thing in a number of different places. The second choice was made in Fridays every days and was fresh. It may have been fluff, but it came off as honesty, which was a nice change from most sales pitches you get at chains.
As for the food, it was rather delightful. Started with Tomato basil soup– in my opinion, better than Jason’s Deli (although I’m sure it’s not near as… real). It was tasty. Then I got the Parmesan Encrusted Chicken. The presentation, the flavor, and the portion were all perfect. It was a shockingly good entrée. It was served with a tomato-​mozzarella salad that was eh… Take it or leave it. Finished it off with peanut butter pie for dessert. It was good, but about what you’d expect from Fridays.
Tip, tax and all, I paid $ 17. Pretty snazzy for appetizer, entrée, and dessert.
Overall–
Pros– Friendly and helpful staff, surprisingly good food, affordable price, clean restaurant.
Cons– Rather chaotic and loud at times.
I won’t go out of my way to go back, but I wouldn’t hesitate if shopping in Opry Mills and someone suggested it.
