| - I had a chance to go to this particular Friday's after returning some Christmas gifts at Northlake Mall recently. If you've every been to a Friday's, you know what your getting and I can skip the customary descriptions of the interior and the menu - its a Friday's with everything you would expect a Friday's to be and have.
I know most people don't usually think of Friday's as a place where you can get a good steak, but I do. In fact I usually order some sort of steak entree when I go to Fridays, and this time was no different. I ordered the flat iron steak with the veggie medley and the parmesan and garlic potato wedges as my two sides. My steak was cooked to my specifications. I ordered it medium-rare and it arrived to my liking - juicy, tender and NOT over-cooked (see pics). The veggies were just so-so, and in hindsight, I wish I would've ordered a different side item. The potato wedges were great and I recommend them over the standard french-fries you might normally order.
My gf ordered the endless soup and salad (found only on the lunch menu I believe) and was more than satisfied with her decision. The Caesar Salad was, well, a Cesar Salad, with the standard tomatoes and parmesan cheese (see pics). The chicken tortilla soup she ordered was very tasty, as I sampled some of it myself. I was pleasantly surprised with the cheese that added a nice texture that you don't normally find with most standard soups.
I've been here at least three-four times and have found this particular Friday's to offer a clean and friendly environment. There is also plenty of parking which can't be said for the rest of Northlake Mall. The only drawback, is that it can be difficult to get out of the parking lot and back onto Harris Blvd., but that is due to the poor design of the mall itself. If you find yourself tired or hungry after a day of shopping and fighting crowds at Northlake Mall, this particular Friday's is definitely a quality, fair-priced option.
