I remember those by-gone days of walking in to this particular Friday's at The Falls looking forward with anticipation to the food and atmosphere I was going to get and I'm sad to say that those days are truly over. As the years have passed on by, I have seen the lines to go into this restaurant dwindling over time and for good reason. The waiters and hosts working at this location don't have any passion or interest in giving good customer service. Years ago, people had more spunk and charisma to take customers feelings into consideration. Now, all they care about is getting you out of the restaurant as soon as possible. The last time I went into Friday's was this past February and I was feeling a little apprehensive about it, but since I haven't been here in years, I decided to give it one more go and ordered their chicken bruschetta pasta and was surprised that I wasn't given two garlic toasts with my pasta. They always used to give toasts with their pasta and I guess they aren't giving out those anymore. My sister ordered a grilled chicken plate with mashed potatoes, french fries and shrimp and when her order arrived, there were no fries and no shrimp. Stingy or just plain laziness? I made a final decision then and there: No More Friday's For Me!

This is the first restaurant I ever went to. I thought I would over-remember how good this place was since I hadn't had it in over ten years. Went back for the first time last week. Nope. Just as amazing as it was the first time. If every TGIF in America could be like this TGIF then America would return to its former glory. Amazing service. Great atmosphere. DELICIOUS FOOD and at a great price! Jack Daniels ribs and shrimp here were more tender, juicy, crispy, and tasty than every toher TGIF. Compared to other good restaurants, it may even be better. Great steak fries which more potato than tasty grease. Really good bbq pasta, which really shocked me. The flatbread appetizer and mozarella sticks were okay. But oh man, I love this place.

Great environment. My man and I are regulars at the bar. We come late at night and enjoy the specials. Renee is a great bartender!! And his drinks are always on point. Try the flat bread!!! It's my new addiction since the Caribbean rum wings aren't on the menu anymore :( which is the only thing I'm sad about. Overall experience is great. Will come again.

Two things to comment on for a chain such as this: 1- always understaffed. Their servers should not be allowed to take more than four tables at a time. 2- the hostesses are never organized

Love this place ! Especially the one located in the falls! I only come here and there is never barely a wait and at the most a 5 minutes wait There menu has soooo many options !! The service is great

Took forever to be served and the hostess even wanted to sit another family before us. I looked up deal on their website before going and was told none of the offers were valid. After an hour wait and being denied the specials, we decided not to even eat there. Keep in mind this all happened ON A TUESDAY. This review might change the next time I go, but I was less than impressed by this location of the popular chain.

There was a long wait he was older with sections available with OpenTable. Ordered LSI besides earth but the second order of them came after we were done with our entrees. The food was good the server was from when we did get his attention. However we did have to ask for silverware and remind our servers several times what we wanted. Its fun to go in a group. We had to remind the server of the birthday that we came for.

Apparently this Fridays is the only one out of all the Friday chain restaurants that do not have happy hour after 9... Sounds like a scam

It's the first place I got drunk. I was... 21ish, and they make great strawberry daquiris! Otherwise, their food is typical American bar food and pretty decent. Also, there is such a variety, there is something for everyone.

Food was typical TGIF fare; our server was friendly and very good. Food came out in a timely manner. Place had a general bad smell to it when we walked in; women's bathroom really stunk!

FRIDAYS! MAN OH MAN the food here is always great - BUT this time I was disappointed =[ boooo I know. Family night out so la madre my brother and myself end up here why? you ask because we had a coupon and we love the place ;) The place was not packed but it was not empty either - We get seated right away and our waitress took our drink orders immediately. The bro had to stick to coke since he is under 21 (haha) la madre got her typical beer, and I of course tried something different, I had the DIDDY UP sounded cool but eh I was disappointed. It consisted of vodka, ruby red nectar, red bull and a lime on top. Now when she brought my drink out the red bull was separate in the can and she opened it and poured it in, now before I could say stop almost the entire red bull was poured into my drink, and all I could taste was red bull. I love their food, I usually get the Cajun or bruschetta pasta but I tried something different - the chicken piccata pasta. Looked good but it was very bland =[ So of course with the disappointment of dinner they had to make it up to me in dessert - no disappointments there! YUmmY cheesecake!!! 5out of 5 stars because the service was fabulous and I never have a bad time nor have bad food besides this one time.

Out of all the American Restaurant chains (like Chili's, Fridays, Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, etc.), I have always preferred TGI Fridays, starting with the name, LOL! I went here today. We were seated immediately. The food was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was great. The only thing I disliked were the portion sizes... I just felt they were too small. Also, the food did take a while to come. However, it was all delicious!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to Kim for being a wonderful waitress!!! :)
There's a safety and predictability about chain restaurants that make them the perfect place for a semi-blind date. You know what I mean, you meet someone online, texting and calling are great but before you take them to one of your favorite boutique restaurants, better to meet at a chain place that has something for everyone. You don't want cuisine to get in the way of true (or overnight) love. Rather to get to know someone over a safe meal, and then compromise where she can go shoe shopping while you indulge in pork buns or waffle cakes. Such was the case with my visit to Friday's last night! I met up with my mystery lady and proceeded to get our table. We were told that a table for 2 was about a 30-35 minute wait, but were welcome to sit at the bar where Ms. Mystery ordered a couple of pink Martini concoctions and I played it safe with a Heineken. She was impressed with her drinks - which were promptly refilled - and my Heineken was served promptly as well. The bar staff was pleasant without being "hovery" (yeah I learned that word here on Yelp!) While it did take longer than promised to sit us (about an hour), the wait staff was pleasant and even took time to let us know that one of our plates were running late. Once dinner arrived, my Chicken Bruschetta Pasta and Ms. Lady's Parmesan Crusted Chicken were tasty and visually appealing. I suppose my chicken pasta could have had a tad more chicken but it was well seasoned and lean. The pasta had plenty of tomatoes, cheese shavings and importantly for me, a tart and sweet sauce. Our waiter was also helpful in bringing a to-go platter and wet naps to clean up. My date shall be reviewed later :0 Meanwhile enjoy the song below: youtube.com/watch?v=aaW-…

I wish I could not give any stars. After all it is Fridays so what can you expect??..... The server took over 10 minutes to stop by the table, took drink and appetizers order, we didn't see him again for another 10 minutes or more, appetizers come to the table, the rude girl literally drops them on our table...we try to tell her we need plates she says from far your server will bring you some, well he is so weeded we don't even have our drinks yet. I had to get up 3 times to try to get silverware and plates, they all tell me that they will send a manager, after the 3rd person I asked and no manager. I'm like NO you and me will go get plates and silver together and I will bring it to the table. Finally our drinks come because I went to the bar to get them, immediately we ask for another round which it took over 20 minutes and I guess I really don't need to go on, it was a great dining experience. And still no manager!!! I've been to bad Fridays but this one wins the award of the worst Fridays EVER!!! I forgot to add my food sucked didn't eat it but still was charged for it!!

I was debating whether or not to file this complaint because the staff was very apologetic, but I felt it was necessary. My party consisted of 2 adults and 3 children. The service was lacking, no napkins for kids, kept having to request refills, etc. and none of the food was good. Didn't really taste fresh. I even mentioned "I think this is the worst Friday's experience I've ever had". That's not what I'm complaining about, though. One of the children ordered the kids menu chicken skewers and once he was done, I lifted a piece of pita bread from his plate and found A BABY ROACH alive in his plate. I could not believe it. I've never experienced something like that in my life. I complained to the manager and he said he would give us a discount. I refused to pay for our bill because of this issue and they were ok with it. Very apologetic, but a roach in a child's meal is inexcusable and very unsanitary. I honestly believe this should be reported to the Health Dept.

I came here with a friend for dinner on a recent Wednesday evening. The place was busy, they had some decent music playing and a group of people partying at the bar so the atmosphere was really lively. They had some really attractive drink specials on this night (I guess to try and lure people to come here through the week when it'd normally be dead otherwise). I had the barbecue chicken wrap which was really tasty. It seems that this restaurant chain just changed up their menu recently and improved it a bit, which was great to see. At the end of the day it's still a chain restaurant, but definitely one of the better chains out there.

This TGIF is located inside The Falls Mall, which is an outside mall w/great shops such as: Macy's, Bloomingdales, Apple, Victoria's Secret and much more. The center of this mall has a built in lake w/huge rocks & waterfalls making it the most romantic mall ever. The food in this TGIF is Pretty good, the service is great from my experience. And the bar has a 7 day happy hour special from 3-7 pm & 9pm - closing. Where the apps are 1/2 priced, well drinks $2, other drinks $4 & some beer specials. Good to sit, enjoy & watch a game. If you choose to sit in the restaurant side, make sure to sit next to the window for a cascade/lake view - this TGIF is romantic style.

My boyfriend and I wanted to see a movie at The Falls. However, he could not meet me before as he needed to dine with his mother after church and I was coming all the way from Coral Gables but I did not have a definitely time to dine with them. Therefore, I decided to dine on my own be already at the Falls. Man! That night it was like Black Friday started early. Cars packed the parking lot and warned my boyfriend about it and to come early. In the meantime, I decided on two restaurants at The Falls but ultimately decided on Fridays as they had their 2 for $10 deal which consisted of an appetizer and entree or an entree and a desert. I chose the later. Very good deal! When I dine alone, I don't sit at a table but usually sit at the bar. However, the bar was packed which got me worried even though I had plenty of time to eat but I feared that it might be lost due to the wait. After 15 minutes, a group that sat at the bar left and I immediately sat in their place to look at the menu. They left their area dirty which I informed my waitress to clean it up nicely along asking to get a menu. My waitress got a little defensive as she stated that they just left and she will clean it up. I said it was ok just informing her as I noticed she was a bit busy with the other people she was servicing. Upon cleaning my area and giving me the menu, I decided to order from the 2 for $10, the Chicken Brushetta which consisted of Angle hair spaghetti with pieces of chicken and diced tomatoes with a pour of Vinaigrette dressing. My waitress also let me know that when I am halfway finished with my meal to get her attention to put the desert order in. As I was waiting for my entree, the people next to me also ordered almost the same thing but after me as I engage in a great conversation with them. To my surprise, their food came first then mine which was weird. They were surprised too. However, after close to 10 minutes my entree came. Yes, it was hot and tasty but I felt that the angel hair spaghetti was a bit dry. i don't know how to pin point but it was not as chewy or easy to chew as other times. I guess it was the speediness that the kitchen needed to get the food out. However, I ordered the choloclate peanut butter pie. OMG! I have not tried this in a long time. What a dessert! Cold but tasty and crunchy with chocolate fudge to decorate the plate and on top of the pie. Delish! That made my night and believe me I ate this pie very slowly to have the taste in me. TGI Fridays: Only one suggestion from my boyfriend: PLEASE BRING BACK THE BEEF STROGANOFF (I don't know if that is how you spell it) I really would like it to have it back in the menu so I won't have to hear it from my boyfriend anymore. LOL!

The menu is diverse and the atmosphere is nice. The fried shrimp and French fries were too salty. Also although the server was efficient, he left me talking to myself twice instead of listening to my request. Maybe he didn't hear me. Overall ok experience given how I did not have to wait for my drink or dinner.

Dear Friday's, Thank you for stepping up your menu and your game! It's about time! I was there over the weekend, and let me tell you, those new Parmesan Crusted Quesedillas are A-MA-ZING! You're earning yourself quite the reputation there, my friend. The Gourmet Mac N' 5 Cheese with Grilled Chicken that you had is my new favorite comfort food! I am so tickled with its blend of cheeses, from Bleu to Parmesan, and the pieces of bacon mixed in, it's an explosion of flavors in my mouth! And the Chicken was grilled just right, with the perfect combination of spices. Our beers were ice cold and the perfect touch for an afternoon at the mall. And lets not forget the Brownie Obsession that becomes EXACTLY that... AN OBSESSION. I dream of warm brownie goodness with vanilla ice cream, and chocolate and caramel sauces! Mmmmm, just the right size to share and still feel completely satisfied. Overall a great experience. : ) Thank you Friday's for a great Pre-Superbowl Lunch! The BF and I will be back again soon. Sincerely, Sabrina*

Asked the bartender if they had any hard ciders, said maybe and walked away... Did not check, did not do anything except say maybe and continue doing other things. Friend of mine waited 20 minutes at the dead bar for a simple drink. Bartender with nothing better to do forgets the simplest things like my beer that I ordered 5 minutes ago... After my previous one had been empty for a good 5 or 6. Yeah, don't bother

Friday's sucks, yo. Just go to the grocery store, go to their frozen section, buy their shit there. It's painfully obvious all their food is pre-packaged. Everything tastes like preservatives and sodium diphosphate. WACK. Nice decor and bar though.

Dear Fridays, You saved my mom and I from starving tonight. Thank you for staying late on Saturday(2am). I wanted a small meal & opted for the tomato bisque soup.. Flavor was fine but it was way too dense for a soup.. It was a lot more intense than a soup should be, almost like spaghetti sauce. I also wanted some mash tators (dont judge!! I love potatoes & didn't want anything fried) were good but a bit hard... Guess you can't be picky at 1130pm. Mom ordered the capt morgan chicken sandwich with the yummy sweet potato fries. She said her sandwich was great. Service was good. The waitress was very pleasant & nice. I don't know if I will return again at a regular time, but good place for a bite late at night after a long night or to stop with friends, have an appetizer & drinks... Bar are was very busy & they played good music tonight.

Nothing special about TGI Friday's, but you can say that about most chain places like this. The restaurant is enormous, but definitely be prepared to wait unless you go early or late as it is always packed. They have some good deals on food and drinks, but everything here is about what you'd expect - a lot of chicken, a lot of pre-made and frozen food re-heated and a friendly atmosphere. You know what you're getting into when you go here so I wouldn't get my expectations up. To be fair, it is one of the nicer Friday's I've ever been to, so I guess that's good.

I've never been a huge fan of TGI Friday's due to their menu has been more just appetizers at least to me. However since this one is in the mall it was very easy for me to give it another try. I see the menu has changed and the food is not bad. I've been in this one five times in the last two months and it's been good. I will come again when I'm in the mall.

Came here right after I ate from Johnny Rockets (which the guy forgot about our fries in the oven and gave them to us burnt along with nasty re-fried chicken). Should have gone with our instincts and just came here. They fixed my date night with a chocolate brownie and ice cream along with a cool summers day drink!

Alexandra A.
I always love coming here, since its so close to my house... Sometimes I am not in the mood to drive so much to go somewhere and eat.... This is the perfect place when in the mood for great burgers like Jack Daniel... And if you're on a budget they also have many happy hours, and options for $20 and less!!!! Great place to hang out with friends and enjoy some yummy food! My favorite here? Jack Daniels everything, boneless buffalo wings and of course the molten chocolate with vanilla ice cream on top!

Last time I ever come here. As I was waking in my first sign. A couple people leaving upset saying it's been over 15 min they sat and not one person has come up to their table. Place is maybe 20 percent full. Took long to get food. Food was cold beer was hot. The Potatoe skins are fried or something. Don't really know but they are nasty. The waitress got everything confused and not once but many times. Will never go here again.

TGI Friday's doesn't live up to it's title. There are way better restaurant options to go to on a Friday, Saturday or any other night out! My hubby and I wanted to go somewhere casual where we could sit down right away on a Friday night, so we went to TGI Fridays at the Falls. I grew up coming to this place as a kid, but this restaurant really needs to step up their game and renovate not only the restaurant but take a crane to lift up their staffs smiles. We sat at the bar thinking we would get fast service and it was way slower than sitting at a table. The male bartenders were slow, barely smiled, didn't seem like they wanted to be there and were NOT attentive at all. We ordered 2 bottomless appetizers and 1 entre to share between my husband and I. We got the wings first and soon after came the potato skins. When we would finish with our apps we would have to get the bartenders attention after waiting 10 minutes with empty plates and drink glasses. We asked for another round of apps and they neglected to take the empty plates away. If you've ever eaten at a bar top you know that there isn't a whole lot of space. Throughout the night, the bartenders would never check up on us - we always had to get their attention .... heck, they wouldn't even look at us!! The service was terrible!! The food is your typical TGI Fridays cuisine, so the food is nothing out of this world, but is good enough to top any wing, potato skin or any other craving you are having. Next time I visit this TGI, I will not sit at the bar.

I went to dinner here last night.im giving them good reviews not because of the food.it was because of the hostess and waiter.the guy who sat us down was david.

Decided to take son for a quick bite to eat, instead of cooking. So on the way home stopped at TGI Friday's. TGI Friday's has never been my favorite got to spot but the new menu had peeked interest along with endless appetizer's. PLUS I wanted a nice adult beverage. We were seated promptly and my son decided upon the chicken fingers and I decided to stay on the healthy side and ordered the grilled chicken cobb salad. The grilled chicken breast was freshly marinated and was not the prefabbed stuff, but was freshly prepared cut and served over freshly chopped romaine with sliced avocado, grape tomatoes, hard-boiled egg, applewood-smoked bacon and crumbled bleu cheese with your choice of dressing. OH I forgot to tell you about my adult beverage....It ended up being an Arnold Palmer because I did not have my license with me. Apparently TGI Friday's has a strict carding policy. I know it is suppose to a compliment, but when you are pushing 47 and you want your beverage; trust me it; it is NOT a compliment........ All in all, it was a nice Father Son dinner, which are always PRICELESS!!!

Let me start by saying that our waiter, Stefan, was cool. The food on the other hand was mediocre. I had the flat iron with Jasmine rice and spinach with mushrooms and onions. The steak was ehhhhhh and I'm being nice. Cooked medium like I asked but was not seasoned. The rice was clumpy and inedible. The spinach was good (Stephan's suggestion). My husband and I have not been to Friday's in a while. It used to be our "spot" for great food at a decent price, but the last few times have been simply disappointing. I hope that they fix the menu soon or we will have to find another "spot!"

Stephanie D.
Hands down the WORST Friday's I've been to! I've come to this location on several occasions & the same problems persist. The ratio of tables per amount of servers is ridiculous! This becomes an issue with service & having to wait 10 minutes before you're even served your beverages. Then, you have whatever issue is going on in the kitchen a problem too because it takes literally 45 minutes-1 hour to be served your food! Time & time again you get apologies but the quality of food nor the service has improved. && this was on a slow Thursday night!!

We stopped by on Friday, at Friday's for a Good Bye Party. They were already seated and situated. However, I noticed no appetizers or drinks on the table. I asked, how long were you guys sitting here? They stated, probably 20 minutes. I decided to grab our drinks at the bar and come back to the table, which was crazy faster. Should have ordered there to. The server was Alby, she was nice, I believe she needs to work better under pressure. She brought drinks, left, and did not provide straws. I felt bad for those who were sitting there. I take initiative. I asked, "Alby, what is going on?" She said, "I am sorry, I was at a party.".... -_- We are a table of 8 people...So we are not a party as well? Fridays at the Falls? I do not recommended.

Worse dinner ever its my bday I had in mind another restaurant but as always I let my kids to pick :( they have good taste but this time I dnt know what happened n they decided to come here . The server either doesn't speak English or he doesn't understand he brought the drinks right away but my kids change there mind on the kids meals I asked him if we had time to change the order but by the look of his face I prefer just to order another plate of food anyways I dnt think im coming back terrible service we didn't even have refills and the pasta that my daughter ordered was dry. I consider this night I waste of money and time. I can tell you one thing that this is officially the worst dinner night ever!

Jose G.
Walk in to an empty restaurant and you're told to wait 15-20 minutes for a table. The beer smells funny, the menu has been downsized so there is nothing really worth ordering. One of the kid's cheeseburger is small and comes with soggy fries, and the other kid's appetizer is nothing more than bread with cheese. Meanwhile as I sit here the family behind me (once they started seating people) is keeping their kid entertained with some dumb video game on a handheld that makes loud bell sounds like the slots iin a Vegas casino. My wife is complaining that I am some kind of "amargado" fSpanish for sour puss) but she forgot that just 30 minutes earlier she was grumbling about how long it took to get a beer. I'm in Hell and I'll never get out.

Horrible customer service. My waiter wasn't attending me at all, he'd pass by and never asked if my friends or I needed anything. Also, Instead of us automatically getting refills when we clearly needed some, he'd roam by us without saying a word. We had to wait to spot him and yell at him from across the restaurant to come over and wait about 20 minutes for some iced down drinks. The food was cold, and took forever to come out. Had to wait 35 minutes for my food and 20 minutes for my check. I would've understood on a busy night but it was around 11pm on a Sunday lonely night. Btw, I was told I wasn't allowed to take the food I paid for home.

This is the first restaurant I ever went to. I thought I would over-remember how good this place was since I hadn't had it in over ten years. Went back for the first time last week. Nope. Just as amazing as it was the first time. If every TGIF in America could be like this TGIF then America would return to its former glory. Amazing service. Great atmosphere. DELICIOUS FOOD and at a great price! Jack Daniels ribs and shrimp here were more tender, juicy, crispy, and tasty than every toher TGIF. Compared to other good restaurants, it may even be better. Great steak fries which more potato than tasty grease. Really good bbq pasta, which really shocked me. The flatbread appetizer and mozarella sticks were okay. But oh man, I love this place.

Great environment. My man and I are regulars at the bar. We come late at night and enjoy the specials. Renee is a great bartender!! And his drinks are always on point. Try the flat bread!!! It's my new addiction since the Caribbean rum wings aren't on the menu anymore :( which is the only thing I'm sad about. Overall experience is great. Will come again.

Two things to comment on for a chain such as this: 1- always understaffed. Their servers should not be allowed to take more than four tables at a time. 2- the hostesses are never organized

Love this place ! Especially the one located in the falls! I only come here and there is never barely a wait and at the most a 5 minutes wait There menu has soooo many options !! The service is great

Took forever to be served and the hostess even wanted to sit another family before us. I looked up deal on their website before going and was told none of the offers were valid. After an hour wait and being denied the specials, we decided not to even eat there. Keep in mind this all happened ON A TUESDAY. This review might change the next time I go, but I was less than impressed by this location of the popular chain.

There was a long wait he was older with sections available with OpenTable. Ordered LSI besides earth but the second order of them came after we were done with our entrees. The food was good the server was from when we did get his attention. However we did have to ask for silverware and remind our servers several times what we wanted. Its fun to go in a group. We had to remind the server of the birthday that we came for.

It's the first place I got drunk. I was... 21ish, and they make great strawberry daquiris! Otherwise, their food is typical American bar food and pretty decent. Also, there is such a variety, there is something for everyone.

Food was typical TGIF fare; our server was friendly and very good. Food came out in a timely manner. Place had a general bad smell to it when we walked in; women's bathroom really stunk!

FRIDAYS! MAN OH MAN the food here is always great - BUT this time I was disappointed =[ boooo I know. Family night out so la madre my brother and myself end up here why? you ask because we had a coupon and we love the place ;) The place was not packed but it was not empty either - We get seated right away and our waitress took our drink orders immediately. The bro had to stick to coke since he is under 21 (haha) la madre got her typical beer, and I of course tried something different, I had the DIDDY UP sounded cool but eh I was disappointed. It consisted of vodka, ruby red nectar, red bull and a lime on top. Now when she brought my drink out the red bull was separate in the can and she opened it and poured it in, now before I could say stop almost the entire red bull was poured into my drink, and all I could taste was red bull. I love their food, I usually get the Cajun or bruschetta pasta but I tried something different - the chicken piccata pasta. Looked good but it was very bland =[ So of course with the disappointment of dinner they had to make it up to me in dessert - no disappointments there! YUmmY cheesecake!!! 5out of 5 stars because the service was fabulous and I never have a bad time nor have bad food besides this one time.

Out of all the American Restaurant chains (like Chili's, Fridays, Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, etc.), I have always preferred TGI Fridays, starting with the name, LOL! I went here today. We were seated immediately. The food was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was great. The only thing I disliked were the portion sizes... I just felt they were too small. Also, the food did take a while to come. However, it was all delicious!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to Kim for being a wonderful waitress!!! :)

Used to be a regular here, and maybe this place was always terrible and I never knew it due to my youthful naïveté. But now that I'm older and wiser and drafting a review over a premium long island, It's clear this place has decent food, yet horrible service. I'm here with my good friend and my gf. The staff here always got weeded (inable to cope with moderate traffic) with just a few people around the bar. Tonight is no different. The two bartenders on shift are both too busy talking to their significant others sitting amongst the other customers. I say "significant others" because that's the only explanation for the cuddling and kissing they engaged in during our visit. I don't usually mind witnessing love blossom, but it seemed out of place when you're waiting to make another drink order. When I get frustrated while waiting for my drink, I usually scan the other patrons at the bar to see if they're also impatiently waiting for a refill. It helps me rationalize that I'm not being irrational, but instead, feel like part of a collective effort to capture the bartender's attention for the benefit of all of us. This unfortunately happened several times tonight. Bottom line, this place is cool for celebrating your 14th birthday party in a booth with all of your best school chums while drugged-out 20-something's grudgingly sing "happy birthday" to you. But otherwise, don't expect much in terms of decent service from the bar. And by the way, a "premium" ultimate drink isn't really really premium. It's mid-shelf booze. Two stars for decent food.

There's a safety and predictability about chain restaurants that make them the perfect place for a semi-blind date. You know what I mean, you meet someone online, texting and calling are great but before you take them to one of your favorite boutique restaurants, better to meet at a chain place that has something for everyone. You don't want cuisine to get in the way of true (or overnight) love. Rather to get to know someone over a safe meal, and then compromise where she can go shoe shopping while you indulge in pork buns or waffle cakes. Such was the case with my visit to Friday's last night! I met up with my mystery lady and proceeded to get our table. We were told that a table for 2 was about a 30-35 minute wait, but were welcome to sit at the bar where Ms. Mystery ordered a couple of pink Martini concoctions and I played it safe with a Heineken. She was impressed with her drinks - which were promptly refilled - and my Heineken was served promptly as well. The bar staff was pleasant without being "hovery" (yeah I learned that word here on Yelp!) While it did take longer than promised to sit us (about an hour), the wait staff was pleasant and even took time to let us know that one of our plates were running late. Once dinner arrived, my Chicken Bruschetta Pasta and Ms. Lady's Parmesan Crusted Chicken were tasty and visually appealing. I suppose my chicken pasta could have had a tad more chicken but it was well seasoned and lean. The pasta had plenty of tomatoes, cheese shavings and importantly for me, a tart and sweet sauce. Our waiter was also helpful in bringing a to-go platter and wet naps to clean up. My date shall be reviewed later :0 Meanwhile enjoy the song below: youtube.com/watch?v=aaW-…

I wish I could not give any stars. After all it is Fridays so what can you expect??..... The server took over 10 minutes to stop by the table, took drink and appetizers order, we didn't see him again for another 10 minutes or more, appetizers come to the table, the rude girl literally drops them on our table...we try to tell her we need plates she says from far your server will bring you some, well he is so weeded we don't even have our drinks yet. I had to get up 3 times to try to get silverware and plates, they all tell me that they will send a manager, after the 3rd person I asked and no manager. I'm like NO you and me will go get plates and silver together and I will bring it to the table. Finally our drinks come because I went to the bar to get them, immediately we ask for another round which it took over 20 minutes and I guess I really don't need to go on, it was a great dining experience. And still no manager!!! I've been to bad Fridays but this one wins the award of the worst Fridays EVER!!! I forgot to add my food sucked didn't eat it but still was charged for it!!

I was debating whether or not to file this complaint because the staff was very apologetic, but I felt it was necessary. My party consisted of 2 adults and 3 children. The service was lacking, no napkins for kids, kept having to request refills, etc. and none of the food was good. Didn't really taste fresh. I even mentioned "I think this is the worst Friday's experience I've ever had". That's not what I'm complaining about, though. One of the children ordered the kids menu chicken skewers and once he was done, I lifted a piece of pita bread from his plate and found A BABY ROACH alive in his plate. I could not believe it. I've never experienced something like that in my life. I complained to the manager and he said he would give us a discount. I refused to pay for our bill because of this issue and they were ok with it. Very apologetic, but a roach in a child's meal is inexcusable and very unsanitary. I honestly believe this should be reported to the Health Dept.

I came here with a friend for dinner on a recent Wednesday evening. The place was busy, they had some decent music playing and a group of people partying at the bar so the atmosphere was really lively. They had some really attractive drink specials on this night (I guess to try and lure people to come here through the week when it'd normally be dead otherwise). I had the barbecue chicken wrap which was really tasty. It seems that this restaurant chain just changed up their menu recently and improved it a bit, which was great to see. At the end of the day it's still a chain restaurant, but definitely one of the better chains out there.

This TGIF is located inside The Falls Mall, which is an outside mall w/great shops such as: Macy's, Bloomingdales, Apple, Victoria's Secret and much more. The center of this mall has a built in lake w/huge rocks & waterfalls making it the most romantic mall ever. The food in this TGIF is Pretty good, the service is great from my experience. And the bar has a 7 day happy hour special from 3-7 pm & 9pm - closing. Where the apps are 1/2 priced, well drinks $2, other drinks $4 & some beer specials. Good to sit, enjoy & watch a game. If you choose to sit in the restaurant side, make sure to sit next to the window for a cascade/lake view - this TGIF is romantic style.

My boyfriend and I wanted to see a movie at The Falls. However, he could not meet me before as he needed to dine with his mother after church and I was coming all the way from Coral Gables but I did not have a definitely time to dine with them. Therefore, I decided to dine on my own be already at the Falls. Man! That night it was like Black Friday started early. Cars packed the parking lot and warned my boyfriend about it and to come early. In the meantime, I decided on two restaurants at The Falls but ultimately decided on Fridays as they had their 2 for $10 deal which consisted of an appetizer and entree or an entree and a desert. I chose the later. Very good deal! When I dine alone, I don't sit at a table but usually sit at the bar. However, the bar was packed which got me worried even though I had plenty of time to eat but I feared that it might be lost due to the wait. After 15 minutes, a group that sat at the bar left and I immediately sat in their place to look at the menu. They left their area dirty which I informed my waitress to clean it up nicely along asking to get a menu. My waitress got a little defensive as she stated that they just left and she will clean it up. I said it was ok just informing her as I noticed she was a bit busy with the other people she was servicing. Upon cleaning my area and giving me the menu, I decided to order from the 2 for $10, the Chicken Brushetta which consisted of Angle hair spaghetti with pieces of chicken and diced tomatoes with a pour of Vinaigrette dressing. My waitress also let me know that when I am halfway finished with my meal to get her attention to put the desert order in. As I was waiting for my entree, the people next to me also ordered almost the same thing but after me as I engage in a great conversation with them. To my surprise, their food came first then mine which was weird. They were surprised too. However, after close to 10 minutes my entree came. Yes, it was hot and tasty but I felt that the angel hair spaghetti was a bit dry. i don't know how to pin point but it was not as chewy or easy to chew as other times. I guess it was the speediness that the kitchen needed to get the food out. However, I ordered the choloclate peanut butter pie. OMG! I have not tried this in a long time. What a dessert! Cold but tasty and crunchy with chocolate fudge to decorate the plate and on top of the pie. Delish! That made my night and believe me I ate this pie very slowly to have the taste in me. TGI Fridays: Only one suggestion from my boyfriend: PLEASE BRING BACK THE BEEF STROGANOFF (I don't know if that is how you spell it) I really would like it to have it back in the menu so I won't have to hear it from my boyfriend anymore. LOL!
(4)Vicky L.
The menu is diverse and the atmosphere is nice. The fried shrimp and French fries were too salty. Also although the server was efficient, he left me talking to myself twice instead of listening to my request. Maybe he didn't hear me. Overall ok experience given how I did not have to wait for my drink or dinner.
(3)Frank E.
Meh, its a Friday's... as the stars say its A-OK... food is, well, Friday's food... service is usually ok to good, its a place to eat at The Falls (you don't get many options at this mall)
(3)Sabrina Anna C.
Dear Friday's, Thank you for stepping up your menu and your game! It's about time! I was there over the weekend, and let me tell you, those new Parmesan Crusted Quesedillas are A-MA-ZING! You're earning yourself quite the reputation there, my friend. The Gourmet Mac N' 5 Cheese with Grilled Chicken that you had is my new favorite comfort food! I am so tickled with its blend of cheeses, from Bleu to Parmesan, and the pieces of bacon mixed in, it's an explosion of flavors in my mouth! And the Chicken was grilled just right, with the perfect combination of spices. Our beers were ice cold and the perfect touch for an afternoon at the mall. And lets not forget the Brownie Obsession that becomes EXACTLY that... AN OBSESSION. I dream of warm brownie goodness with vanilla ice cream, and chocolate and caramel sauces! Mmmmm, just the right size to share and still feel completely satisfied. Overall a great experience. : ) Thank you Friday's for a great Pre-Superbowl Lunch! The BF and I will be back again soon. Sincerely, Sabrina*

Of course this place gets 5 star for me cause each n everytime for the past 17 years since i started to come here ... never once did they disappoint not that I can remember at lease .... the drinks r always mixed to perfection n the food is out standing with great prices n portions I would recommend it to anyone of all ages
(5)Amanda O.
Asked the bartender if they had any hard ciders, said maybe and walked away... Did not check, did not do anything except say maybe and continue doing other things. Friend of mine waited 20 minutes at the dead bar for a simple drink. Bartender with nothing better to do forgets the simplest things like my beer that I ordered 5 minutes ago... After my previous one had been empty for a good 5 or 6. Yeah, don't bother
(1)Gema O.
Friday's sucks, yo. Just go to the grocery store, go to their frozen section, buy their shit there. It's painfully obvious all their food is pre-packaged. Everything tastes like preservatives and sodium diphosphate. WACK. Nice decor and bar though.
(1)Victor F.
I always come to this branch at The Falls. The food is yummy. Love their desserts. The service has been great the times I've gone. No complaints. Very nice place to relax, have a meal, and break from the routine.
(5)Monica B.
Dear Fridays, You saved my mom and I from starving tonight. Thank you for staying late on Saturday(2am). I wanted a small meal & opted for the tomato bisque soup.. Flavor was fine but it was way too dense for a soup.. It was a lot more intense than a soup should be, almost like spaghetti sauce. I also wanted some mash tators (dont judge!! I love potatoes & didn't want anything fried) were good but a bit hard... Guess you can't be picky at 1130pm. Mom ordered the capt morgan chicken sandwich with the yummy sweet potato fries. She said her sandwich was great. Service was good. The waitress was very pleasant & nice. I don't know if I will return again at a regular time, but good place for a bite late at night after a long night or to stop with friends, have an appetizer & drinks... Bar are was very busy & they played good music tonight.
(4)Samantha F.
I feel like Cheers, when I come here because I have been going here since I was in elementary school. People are nice--half the time!
(4)daniel c.
Every time that I travel to Miami, I have to do a pit stop to this place. The food is very great! They have the best strawberry lemonade that I ever drinked. Their jack daniel's sauce is something from another world!
(5)Philip B.
Nothing special about TGI Friday's, but you can say that about most chain places like this. The restaurant is enormous, but definitely be prepared to wait unless you go early or late as it is always packed. They have some good deals on food and drinks, but everything here is about what you'd expect - a lot of chicken, a lot of pre-made and frozen food re-heated and a friendly atmosphere. You know what you're getting into when you go here so I wouldn't get my expectations up. To be fair, it is one of the nicer Friday's I've ever been to, so I guess that's good.
(3)Paula R.
Placed an order for food and was ready in good time : ) I order the chickenwrap : ) The staff is always friendly and polite n the interior is definately clean. See you soon : )
(4)Juan Carlos C.
I've never been a huge fan of TGI Friday's due to their menu has been more just appetizers at least to me. However since this one is in the mall it was very easy for me to give it another try. I see the menu has changed and the food is not bad. I've been in this one five times in the last two months and it's been good. I will come again when I'm in the mall.
(3)Green L.
I have never had an issue at this location. The food has always been good and so has the service, even when its busy. This is a great place to get some lunch. No complaints. The prices are fair too.
(5)Duval V.
Consistently bad service
(2)Adry G.
Came here right after I ate from Johnny Rockets (which the guy forgot about our fries in the oven and gave them to us burnt along with nasty re-fried chicken). Should have gone with our instincts and just came here. They fixed my date night with a chocolate brownie and ice cream along with a cool summers day drink!
(4)Alexandra A.
I always love coming here, since its so close to my house... Sometimes I am not in the mood to drive so much to go somewhere and eat.... This is the perfect place when in the mood for great burgers like Jack Daniel... And if you're on a budget they also have many happy hours, and options for $20 and less!!!! Great place to hang out with friends and enjoy some yummy food! My favorite here? Jack Daniels everything, boneless buffalo wings and of course the molten chocolate with vanilla ice cream on top!
(5)Jose C.
Last time I ever come here. As I was waking in my first sign. A couple people leaving upset saying it's been over 15 min they sat and not one person has come up to their table. Place is maybe 20 percent full. Took long to get food. Food was cold beer was hot. The Potatoe skins are fried or something. Don't really know but they are nasty. The waitress got everything confused and not once but many times. Will never go here again.

TGI Friday's doesn't live up to it's title. There are way better restaurant options to go to on a Friday, Saturday or any other night out! My hubby and I wanted to go somewhere casual where we could sit down right away on a Friday night, so we went to TGI Fridays at the Falls. I grew up coming to this place as a kid, but this restaurant really needs to step up their game and renovate not only the restaurant but take a crane to lift up their staffs smiles. We sat at the bar thinking we would get fast service and it was way slower than sitting at a table. The male bartenders were slow, barely smiled, didn't seem like they wanted to be there and were NOT attentive at all. We ordered 2 bottomless appetizers and 1 entre to share between my husband and I. We got the wings first and soon after came the potato skins. When we would finish with our apps we would have to get the bartenders attention after waiting 10 minutes with empty plates and drink glasses. We asked for another round of apps and they neglected to take the empty plates away. If you've ever eaten at a bar top you know that there isn't a whole lot of space. Throughout the night, the bartenders would never check up on us - we always had to get their attention .... heck, they wouldn't even look at us!! The service was terrible!! The food is your typical TGI Fridays cuisine, so the food is nothing out of this world, but is good enough to top any wing, potato skin or any other craving you are having. Next time I visit this TGI, I will not sit at the bar.
(3)Mima A.
I went to dinner here last night.im giving them good reviews not because of the food.it was because of the hostess and waiter.the guy who sat us down was david. He was great make sure we had a good table.our server stephan was awsome.he was funny very attentive he had our endless apps coming .for the endless app I would skip Br u she ta it's chewy bread.the potatoe skins are dry not good.their drinks are ok not great.we ate dinner on endless app you can't beat that .ask for stephan he will make your dinner fun.
(4)Rodney W.
Decided to take son for a quick bite to eat, instead of cooking. So on the way home stopped at TGI Friday's. TGI Friday's has never been my favorite got to spot but the new menu had peeked interest along with endless appetizer's. PLUS I wanted a nice adult beverage. We were seated promptly and my son decided upon the chicken fingers and I decided to stay on the healthy side and ordered the grilled chicken cobb salad. The grilled chicken breast was freshly marinated and was not the prefabbed stuff, but was freshly prepared cut and served over freshly chopped romaine with sliced avocado, grape tomatoes, hard-boiled egg, applewood-smoked bacon and crumbled bleu cheese with your choice of dressing. OH I forgot to tell you about my adult beverage....It ended up being an Arnold Palmer because I did not have my license with me. Apparently TGI Friday's has a strict carding policy. I know it is suppose to a compliment, but when you are pushing 47 and you want your beverage; trust me it; it is NOT a compliment........ All in all, it was a nice Father Son dinner, which are always PRICELESS!!!
(3)T B.
Let me start by saying that our waiter, Stefan, was cool. The food on the other hand was mediocre. I had the flat iron with Jasmine rice and spinach with mushrooms and onions. The steak was ehhhhhh and I'm being nice. Cooked medium like I asked but was not seasoned. The rice was clumpy and inedible. The spinach was good (Stephan's suggestion). My husband and I have not been to Friday's in a while. It used to be our "spot" for great food at a decent price, but the last few times have been simply disappointing. I hope that they fix the menu soon or we will have to find another "spot!"
(2)Stephanie D.
Hands down the WORST Friday's I've been to! I've come to this location on several occasions & the same problems persist. The ratio of tables per amount of servers is ridiculous! This becomes an issue with service & having to wait 10 minutes before you're even served your beverages. Then, you have whatever issue is going on in the kitchen a problem too because it takes literally 45 minutes-1 hour to be served your food! Time & time again you get apologies but the quality of food nor the service has improved. && this was on a slow Thursday night!!
(1)Krizzy B.
We stopped by on Friday, at Friday's for a Good Bye Party. They were already seated and situated. However, I noticed no appetizers or drinks on the table. I asked, how long were you guys sitting here? They stated, probably 20 minutes. I decided to grab our drinks at the bar and come back to the table, which was crazy faster. Should have ordered there to. The server was Alby, she was nice, I believe she needs to work better under pressure. She brought drinks, left, and did not provide straws. I felt bad for those who were sitting there. I take initiative. I asked, "Alby, what is going on?" She said, "I am sorry, I was at a party.".... -_- We are a table of 8 people...So we are not a party as well? Fridays at the Falls? I do not recommended.
(2)Martha H.
Worse dinner ever its my bday I had in mind another restaurant but as always I let my kids to pick :( they have good taste but this time I dnt know what happened n they decided to come here . The server either doesn't speak English or he doesn't understand he brought the drinks right away but my kids change there mind on the kids meals I asked him if we had time to change the order but by the look of his face I prefer just to order another plate of food anyways I dnt think im coming back terrible service we didn't even have refills and the pasta that my daughter ordered was dry. I consider this night I waste of money and time. I can tell you one thing that this is officially the worst dinner night ever!
(1)Jose G.
Walk in to an empty restaurant and you're told to wait 15-20 minutes for a table. The beer smells funny, the menu has been downsized so there is nothing really worth ordering. One of the kid's cheeseburger is small and comes with soggy fries, and the other kid's appetizer is nothing more than bread with cheese. Meanwhile as I sit here the family behind me (once they started seating people) is keeping their kid entertained with some dumb video game on a handheld that makes loud bell sounds like the slots iin a Vegas casino. My wife is complaining that I am some kind of "amargado" fSpanish for sour puss) but she forgot that just 30 minutes earlier she was grumbling about how long it took to get a beer. I'm in Hell and I'll never get out.
(1)Sherly M.
Horrible customer service. My waiter wasn't attending me at all, he'd pass by and never asked if my friends or I needed anything. Also, Instead of us automatically getting refills when we clearly needed some, he'd roam by us without saying a word. We had to wait to spot him and yell at him from across the restaurant to come over and wait about 20 minutes for some iced down drinks. The food was cold, and took forever to come out. Had to wait 35 minutes for my food and 20 minutes for my check. I would've understood on a busy night but it was around 11pm on a Sunday lonely night. Btw, I was told I wasn't allowed to take the food I paid for home.
