| - I've been to Fridays from here to Maine and in most states down to Florida. Weirdly enough, they are NOT the same experience, as most chains are.
This one was one of those times. The worst Fridays we've eaten in is in Westchase, just north of Tampa. This will be the second worst, and it's unfortunate, because I really do like getting the deals on my Stripes card.
The food wasn't bad. Well, the paid for food, anyway. The chips that come with the Stripes card were cold, wet (soggy from cold oil), and unsalted. The salsa was fairly bland, too.
I had a 6oz steak with lobster bites. The husband had a free Stripes meal of ribs.
I had the steak fries with parmesan for the first time and the tomato and mozzarella salad. Both were tasty, and I enjoyed the sauce that came with the lobster bites.
The husband ate all his ribs and most of his fries, so I'm assuming he enjoyed his, too. He was just very put out by the wet chips.
Our biggest complaint was the server. She acted like we were the biggest pains in the you know what all because I asked her about the coupon I had brought to use, and if she needed my phone number to add my new points to my Stripes card, being that I don't have an actual card to give them. I'm sure they get stiffed on tips by people who don't account for the discounted meal, but for the attitude she had, we should have just stiffed her for that alone! Maybe we'll try another one in the area, or, if worse comes to worse, just go back to Youngstown and eat at that one there with the family.
(P.S. We did tip her based on what the actual cost of food was, not the discounted amount, but she certainly didn't deserve it!!!)
