Diabetics at TGI Friday

If you're a diabetic, then you must be extra careful while dining at TGI Friday. Try the salad menu at TGI Friday to keep your sugar and sodium intake in check. Soups are great to keep you full and satisfied without munching on the unhealthy greased meat-based dishes on TGI Friday menu.

Foods to Avoid at TGI Friday for Diabetics:

Sugar and sodium intake are crucial if you have diabetes. While the salads are the best option for you at TGI Friday, it is recommended to avoid the Pecan-Crusted Chicken Salad containing over 1000 calories and 1,650mg sodium. Also, skip Warm Pretzels with Craft Beer-Cheese dipping sauce as it contains more than 3000mg sodium. It is wise to skip the dessert for diabetics, especially the Brownie Obsession topped with Vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and pecans.

    First visit to friars. Friendly bar staff. Manager walked by and heard me asking about food. She was very friendly. Her name was Rachel and she suggested the Cuban sandwich which was outstanding and I had a half order of wings which were cooked to Perfection. This is a big bar with lots of TVs. I have been looking for a place for football and I think I have found The Place to Go. I will definitely be back for more. I've looked all over the area and this by far is the best of them all!!!!!! Great food great staff and great attitudes. Great job!!!!

    We loved the food. We had a calzone and burger and had no complaints. We enjoyed the food so much we had to recommend it the very next day to family and friends. We were expecting regular pub food but this actually was freshly made and by a cook.

    Beer selection ok. Would have rated better but the bartender was rude, the male bartender. I asked him nicely for an orange vodka and soda because I saw a bottle of vodka with an orange on it. He told me they didn't have orange vodka. I asked him what about that bottle and he said it was Mandarin, not orange. He was very condescending and had a smirk on his face. Mandarin is a type of orange. So he made what could have been a decent experience a fairly unpleasant one.

    I liked the place initially, atmosphere for a pub was good. We bought 2 beers and full order of chicken wings, We ordered Teriyaki and spicy Asian. I love spice, however, the teriyaki was so hot I couldn't eat it and I can eat 10 jalapenos (fresh) on scrambled eggs. I told the server and she was nice and brought some other ones, however 2 of the spicy asian wings were under-cooked, blood on the bone. I showed them to the server and she used her comp points and gave me 2 wings off the bill. I think she should have given us 2 more free brewskis and a gift certificate for even coming back. I'm from Chicago and expect a lot, but this was "low down" and the raw chicken wings was dangerous. Get some more help in that place!

    There are a few really great things about Friars Tavern... The food is always fresh, and considerably better than most bar food. Most of it is homemade, and really huge portions. Their food is spot-on. Also, there are TONS of televisions and pool tables, and that's nice. And finally, there are a couple of really good servers. Sam and Andre are very customer-oriented, and do a great job of taking care of their guests. Now that we've got that out of the way, the other side of the coin. I've been in a few times for happy hour and/or dinner, and the one aspect that has always been missing is management. More often than not, the female manager would be sitting at the bar drinking beer, or hanging out with what appeared to be her friends. Or just not there. But always completely disconnected from the operation of the restaurant. Recently, we stopped in at Friars after having dinner on Woodruff Rd., and wanted to have a couple of drinks before calling it a night. It was a Friday, so a little busier than usual. Within 2 minutes of sitting at the bar with my date, we were approached by an exceptionally intoxicated gentleman, who could barely stand, and certainly couldn't speak coherently. To spare all of the details, he basically harassed us until we moved to a table away from the bar, and harassed other guests until he almost started two different fights. To make it worse, there was an entire group of drunk bar bros raising hell, being loud and obnoxious, etc. We complained to two different servers about the drunk gentleman, both who said they would tell their manager. Come to find out, there were two managers there that night... One of them sat at the end of the bar, casually smoking his electric cigarette, and never getting out of his seat for anything, and the other one, who we hadn't even seen until after the drunk guy nearly started the second fight, decided to go behind the bar and start serving drinks. Neither of them did anything at all to address the situation. Well, except one thing: The female manager served him TWO more drinks after we had moved to our table! The guy was nearly walking dead, harassing half the bar, and they continued serving him beer. At that point, seeing the completely passive management (the one manager still never got out of his seat), and an increasingly rowdy bar crowd that was spilling into the restaurant area, we felt uncomfortable enough to end our night early before something bad happened. The servers were trying handle the crowd, but when managers remain completely hands off and let the customers run wild, you end up with a really unsafe environment. To summarize, if you don't mind old drunks, rowdy 20 year old bros, fights, and passive management, then this is a great place to have a beer and watch the game. Or you could go to any of the other dozens of places on Woodruff Rd. and actually have a safe and enjoyable experience.

    Been back a few times since the first visit, including tonight. Excellent service the first time was apparently a fluke. Both the last two visits we had the same male server, and he is terrible. A couple of weeks ago, my wife ordered her burger well-done, and it came out on the rare side of medium, with cold french fries. Sent it back, and it took forever for its replacement. Tonight, the tables on both sides of us had the same problem. The manager came out and gave everyone at one of the tables drink cards and told them there would be no charge for the burger. We had gotten no such consideration, and when my wife pointed it out to the manager, he said, "Do you want me to go get you a drink card?" The onion rings are still great, but the wings are only okay. My wife asked for her wings to be well-cooked and they were supposed to be mild. They came out exactly the same as mine (which were supposed to be hot. Apparently you will get your food however the kitchen feels like cooking it. We would have sent it back, but did not want to endure another 20 minutes waiting for the kitchen to try a do-over. My wife's iced tea was the weakest I have seen, and I was only able to get the server to bring me two beers. I'm sure he was very busy; he must have had four tables. I was also pretty sure the sign out front said, "Prime Rib every Friday and Saturday." Not tonight. When I asked the server, he said he would go check. Really? You don't know what food is available? He came back and said, "French dip, no prime rib." The Masters was on the giant screen TV when we got there, but switched to an infomercial for about the last half hour of our stay. Isn't anyone monitoring anything here? We bought the latest Deal Chicken coupons, but I'm thinking we'll just throw the second one away. There are just too many other places with better food and service. One good experience out of four is just not enough to bring me back.

The founder of the restaurant Alan Stillman lived in a New York-based neighbourhood full of a young crowd, especially girls from the airline and fashion industry. He started the first TGI Friday restaurant in New York in the hope of meeting single women as there weren't any such public place for young men and women to meet. He invested $5000 on his own and borrowed another $5000 from his mother to buy a bar named The Good Tavern and renamed the premise to Thank God It's Friday, inspired from an expression during his time at Bucknell University.
