| - We visited TGI Friday's during our lunch break from work. The place was pretty dead and we were promptly seated. Normally, I would love a table by a lot of windows. However, it was winter and it was almost as cold inside as it was outside. If I wasn't afraid of spilling my lunch down my leather jacket and scarf, I would have worn both of them during my entire meal.
Trying to eat a healthy, lightish lunch, I ordered a Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad because it sounded the best of all the salads. It had an "RPRP" label next to it (Right Portion, Right Price) and was cheaper than the other salads, though, so I was afraid it was going to be a tiny salad and I'd still be hungry. Thankfully, it was pretty huge and, therefore, filling. I really enjoyed it and everything on it looked very fresh.
We only chose Friday's for lunch because I had a buy one get one free coupon. Otherwise, I would have gone somewhere else because Friday's DOES NOT HAVE ANY LUNCH SPECIALS. You heard me. I think they're the only restaurant I've ever been to that does not have a differentiation between lunch and dinner options and prices. Do I want to spend dinner prices at lunch? Hell no.
So while we had really good meals and great service for our lunch, dinner prices at lunchtime and a freezing cold dining room deserve the removal of two stars from this review. Shame on Friday's for not offering lunch specials to its dining guests.
