Daughter had an allergic reaction to food contamination and poor food prep. Even after we let them know emphatically about the potential issue. Go here if you want to overpay for illnesses. I’m calling the health department on this place. Too many bad reviews and one terrible incident.

Not a very friendly location as far as I’m concerned. Maybe the Bartender had a Bad day. I asked him about drink specials and was dryly informed they were not corporate and did not participate it’s not what he said it’s how he said it . When you walk in and walk down the stairs it feels very depressing. Ordering a salad to go, No enthusiasm about ordering a drink I’d rather be sober.

If I could give a no star, definitely would. Here for fleet week with the boys and had to wait 15 to 30 minutes on everything. It’s not even busy.

If I could give zero, I would. Here with my friends for fleet week. Took 25 minutes to get a drink this place might be half full. 18 dollars for a cheeseburger. Wtf is that.

I wish I read these reviews before I went!!! We waited 1 hour for our appetizers. Never got our drink refilled. Watched as everyone acted busy, but wasn’t doing anything. I had to walk up to the waitress to pay! They didn’t deserve a tip, or the $ 76 we paid for dinner. Never AGAIN

If the option to give ZERO stars that is what I would have selected! The only positive is the food was hot. We asked the bartender to get our check as our server was with a table of 12. The bartender tilde us he would not help us. He had nobody at the bar to serve, and we were seated below the bar section. 20 minutes later we received our split checks for our table of 3. I also tried to give my stripes rewards number but was told they don’t do that at this location!!! For the price we paid the service should have been outstanding considering there was maybe 7 tables with people at 6pm on a Saturday evening. The other staff that was standing around talking should have helped our server that needed help, but they refused!!! Epic fail!

After coming here for a quick dessert I left questioning what I had just ate. I did see the terrible reviews and low rating on Unilocal before visiting, but I figured how bad can a brownie with a scoop of ice cream be messed up. Answer: VERY! What was served can only be described as microwaved brownie batter with a scoop of melted ice cream. There was absolutely no consistency to the so-called brownie. I ate it reluctantly– because we were there already. It didn’t taste bad, per say– just as uncooked cookie batter doesn’t taste bad either. But it was definitely was not the way a brownie should be served. So disappointing– I left feeling like I ate chocolate slop :(Please see picture of some remnants of so-called brownie.

My co-workers and I came to this TGIF location on a weekday for happy hour. The service was horrible. We received three appetizers right away but did not receive the last appetizer until we were preparing to leave and had to take it to go. The boneless wings were not cooked well and that was evident due to the color inside of the wings. Last but not least, we were given a Michael’s bag to take the appetizer to go… a Michael’s bag at a TGIF? Classy much?

Just like the other reviews. Food was not up to TGIF standards. Food came out cold, they were out of the new items and the service was bad.

Have to try to help the poor reviews a bit. Expensive? You bet. You shouldn’t have to take out a second mortgage just to eat at TGIF. Food quality? Excellent. In NYC for a quick trip with my daughter. Not much in the way of restaurants in the financial district, so stumbled into Friday’s and got a very good meal, everything above average — steak & shrimp, mashed potatoes, and my daughter’s wings(which I sampled). Cole slaw was among best I have ever had. Service was fine.

Ordered a New York strip steak, medium rare with sweet potato fries. When I got the food the fries didnt taste good, and the steak was well done. Told our waitress that I ordered it medium rare, not well done. He said that it was medium rare, but I showed him that it was well done and grey through the whole steak. After 15 minutes I got a new steak, this time medium rare as I wanted it, but it didnt taste anything. By then the fries had gotten cold and my friend was done with his food. I´ve tried alot of TGI´s and had my hopes up, and I didnt think that it could be such a big difference. I would not recommend this to anyone. Dont even deserve one star

No complaints here. Came here with a few friends after work on a Wednesday evening. A little busy for a wedsnday evening but no biggy. We ordered margaritas which was the special for the night and ordered a whole bunch of appetizers to go along. Service was great and food was good.

«You have to go to the bar to order» As we sit in the bar area on a table the bartender tells us we have to get up and go up to the bar and order. When we do this prick of a bartender just stares at us like idiots. Maybe they do things different out here but I don’t think treating us like idiots is right.

Péssimo atendimento, comida horrível!!! Pedi a costelinha de porco, veio dura e sem gosto. O garçom que os nos atendeu não foi atencioso e era mal humorado. Tem restaurantes bem melhores nas proximidades!

May have been an off day but we waited 2 hours before leaving without food. It was 2:30 pm and the manager assured us 2 times our food was coming soon. Eventually gave up and decided our time was worth more than their food. We walked to a nearby deli and had a great and quick lunch. I’d skip the chain in NYC.

This review is for the service only. We arrived at around 6pm for dinner this past Saturday night and the fact that this place was empty should have been a warning. We were seated in a booth first, but then was told the section was closed, meanwhile there were a couple seated next to us. The table we were moved to was still in the same area but ok. After being seated we waited for 15 minutes before a bartender yelled across the room«what are your drinks.» This is completely unacceptable. Where is our server? why has no one addressed us? and why it it ok for the bartender to behave in such a manner? At that point I thought it would be better to leave, so we walked out. I’m sure no one noticed anyway. I was with a pack of 14 year old girls and I need them to know that as a patron you deserve to be treated with respect and to be mindful as to where they spend they’re money.

You would expect all TGI’s are a bit the same… But I don’t know, it seemed like the portions were a bit smaller here, we also had to beg for the waiters attention but that was because they were very low staffed. One of our party of 10 was forgotten so he got his food a lot later. Once in this lower part of Manhattan there were lass places to eat so we were happy to run into this. Wasnt too bad, but would look for something else next time. Quite expensive.

After a touristy day visiting the Statue of Liberty, we decided to keep going with the tourist experience and stop at TGIFriday’s for dinner. The restaurant is a quick 5 minute walk from Battery Park. We went down the stairs into the restaurant where we waited for the hostess to come greet us for approximately 10 minutes. When the hostess eventually came over, he handed us our menus and said, «sit wherever you want in the front» and then walked away. Chalk it up to dehydration and exhaustion but we decided to grab a table and sit down. We ended up waiting approximately 15 minutes for a waiter to come to our table and offer us water or even say«I’ll be right with you!» but unfortunately, no one came. The restaurant was moderately packed but nothing too crazy that would explain or justify no service for over 15 minutes. As time ticked by, we decided to end our tourist expedition and go get real food and real service somewhere else(for a much better bargain!) We left the menus on the table and walked out and were very happy we did. We headed over to the Dubliner on Stone St. that has just about everything. Save yourself the aggravation — a restaurant with this poor of service does not deserve your business!

Was very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! Despite its poor ratings here on Unilocal it was quite good! Went in while walking from the park to the 9⁄11 memorial to grab a bite. Cajun chicken and shrimp was the item that I was ready to devour! The service was excellent the crowd was tame. Very mild wait to get the food. Man was it amazing! No complaints here! Great food, great mood, great service. What more could you ask for? Be daring and go against the ratings to check this place out!

Le pire Resto de toute ma vie. A peine assis et on nous presse déjà pour prendre la commande, puis il faut attendre 20min pour avoir les boissons. On né reçoit que une des deux entrée, et après 10min, arrive mon entrée accompagnée de plat de mon compagnon?!? Bref, service pas terrible, nourriture moyenne et horriblement cher pour ce que c’est!

I dropped in for a beer at 9:45 on a Tuesday night. I was surprised to find out that the kitchen was closed. Seemed odd to me. The bartender was very laidback and I quickly got a Guinness at the cost of $ 7.13. A bit expensive, but why not. There were three TVs spread out over the bar so had some entertainment while I nursed my beer. All in all, this location was disappointing. It was pretty much dead.

This should be half a star, but it doesn’t exist. Just came for a going-away lunch with my team and this was the worst lunch we’ve ever had. We had to wait an hour for appetizers and another 30 minutes for our entrees to come in. They came one by one and by the time my order came, everyone else was finished with their lunch. Fries were gross, they tasted like frozen fries that were dumped into oil for 2 mins. The shrimp was terrible. The only good thing was the mash potato, which was probably made from powder. Everything was just terrible. Sucks that we had to follow the tip on the receipt…
