| - We came out for a birthday lunch on a fairly empty Sunday. We were a larger group, so we expected it might take a little time. They apparently were very short-staffed and our wait times definitely reflected that.
I ordered the New York Sour Crush and the husband ordered a draft beer. We waited almost 45 minutes. I can understand a limited wait time for a cocktail that has to be made, but a beer? Additionally, three members of our party each ordered one of their drinks that has cotton candy and comes with its own shaker. The server came over with a single shaker and tried to split it between all three of them. Only one glass was filled, the other wasn't even halfway and the last didn't see a drop. Once we spoke with management, they came over and the issue was cleared up (i.e. all three people received their drinks), but by this time, I was still waiting for my cocktail, another person had ordered, received and finished their cocktail, my husband was still waiting for his beer and I was just over it. I told the manager she could cancel my drink, but she showed up with it in hand a few minutes after that. I don't know if she didn't hear me or just decided to bring it anyway. For what it's worth, the drink was good. Not good enough to wait for almost an hour, but good all the same.
The food was merely okay as well. I ordered their $14.99 special with the salmon and ribs. The ribs were nicely charred, but incredibly tough. The salmon was moist and had decent flavors. The mashed potatoes were good and the Brussels were okay. This is after I had to send the food back to be reheated, though. It clearly was one of the first meals prepared, but was sitting nowhere near a heat lamp or a warmer. It was barely warm when they brought it out to me.
Eh. I mean, it's TGI Fridays, so it's not like I was expecting to be blown away or whatever, but hot food and drinks in a timely manner really isn't hoping for too much and they did not deliver on that at all.
