tgi friday's now has "atkins approved menu items"

I am vehemently opposed to anything Atkins, therefore I boycott TGI Friday's.

Carbs are GOOD for you! The FDA's food pyramid is how people should eat.

His voice would probably be like Earl Schreib's now. "I'll let ya have any calories ya want for $49.95..."

Atkins' widow Veronica threatened to sue over the unauthorised release of the report, and the Atkins Physicians Council in New York argued that the late doctor may have appeared obese due to the bloating side-effects of his comatose condition.

Sorry, off to my Soytkins diet.. Soy Bacon wrapped Soy Meatballs dipped in a Tofu cheese sauce with tofu.

(There was actually a story about how pizza places all over the U.S. have actually suffered a small loss in business because of the Atkins craze. When pizza takes a hit, this means it's time to call Uncle Sal and "take care of things" with the Atkins family.)

haha!

"ME SOY CRAZY!"
"SOY GLAD TO HELP YOU!"
"SOY VEY!"
"YO SOY 'DA BOMB"

holy

you're right, Surmounter. . . ewwww!

I was at Friday's for dinner last night and as I am wont to do I ordered a side of vegetables instead of the fries that came with my Jack Daniels Chicken Sandwich.

i mean what the fuck kind of sandwich is that

guys i really just can't imagine this experience. the black eyes part might be the worst

Hmmmmmm. Those pictures are pretty blurry. A snake head? Really?

I was served a coackroach with my steamed veg once at a restaurant in Chinatown. The waiter tried to pass it off as a mushroom until I got fed up and hissed, "Mushrooms don't have legs, asshole." OK, I didn't actually call him an asshole but I probably should have considering they tried to charge us for the cockroach delight.

i love how all vermin in food could be a mushroom. maybe this has something to do with why i don't eat mushrooms

I love mushrooms but there was no mistaking this smug little dead bastard lying there on his back legs up in the air etc. We should have just gotten up and left but wound up paying for the rest of the bill anyway.

I read the snake thing while eating which is probably why I'm trying to convince myself that it can't be true.

they tried to charge you extra for the cockroach!?

You guys are buggin' out.

All I read was the URL. That was enough for me.

x-post Lol no but they didn't take that entree off the bill which they should have imo.

um... i can't believe you paid for that meal, E

like, any of it

yeah cockroaches in food=free food

the url actually makes it seem worse - thankfully the snake head wasn't in the sandwich or else she might've actually eaten it

i can't

I KNOW!!! Like I said we should have just got up and left but I think we were too stunned by the whole thing. Nobody ate anything and we wound up going to some shitty diner in Union Sq.

here was no mistaking this smug little dead bastard lying there on his back legs up in the air etc.

i love the idea of the roach lying there with a smug look on its face like "haHA! what NOW bitch??"

was he holding a miniature sign that said "pwnd"?

He might has well have :-(

"as" well

TGI Fridays now has rubbing alcohol and rainwater.

TRENTON — In one case, a New Jersey bar allegedly mixed rubbing alcohol with caramel food coloring and served it as scotch.

In another, a bar is accused of pouring dirty water into an empty bottle and passing it off as liquor.

Those are some of the details state officials released today after a year-long investigation called "Operation Swill," which culminated Wednesday when more than 100 investigators raided 29 bars and restaurants across New Jersey on the suspicion they had been serving cheap alcohol disguised as premium brands.

when the aliens finally land they are gonna say: what is all this shit? why is there so much shit on the walls? it looks fucking horrible.

and then they're gonna steal all the cows and leave.

Service, BAD! The waiter was an asshole, this is me being nice.

The food was crap. Two disgusting entrees, an over fried (probably frozen) appetizer and a beer came to $75.

This was my first time here.... My only experience with tgi's prior was with their frozen appetizers and the comercial on tv making it seem like a party.

Just go to your grocer in the frozen food aisle, its the same.

Next time ill just stick to chilis. At least their wait staff is better at being stoned on the job.

Here's an idea. When you drop a stack of plates on a guest, apologize, get the manager, make sure the manager takes care of that table. You know, in the interest of customer service. Don't just let it go and hope everything will be cool. At the very least the manager needed to come over and do a table touch. Pull it together. Just cause you're the only Fridays within miles doesn't mean you can be terrible and people will keep coming back. Bennigans is not far. Neither is Applebee's. And chilis are like Starbucks now, and they don't treat you like you're nothing.

This was a HORRIBLE experience!! They would not give me a booth when only 2 booths were being used. I had to clear off and rag my own table. It took 30 min to have our order taken and then the food took another 45 min. They still have not brought our check and I've been waiting 40 min. This is such a sad excuse for a restaurant it really is.

I'd give it zero stars if I could. What a nasty place. I worked here back in the early 90's and it was a clean environment. It's gone downhill BIG Time. This place is filthy. It smells like a urinal. Literally,..like piss on a tile floor. Good luck finding a menu that doesn't have chunks of dried food stuck to it. I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. My son pointed out that one employee was wearing a shirt that was way too short and you could clearly his belly button and lower abdominal hair. Seriously,...this guy is handling food and he has pubic hair hanging out.
Yeah,..this place sucks.

My boyfriend and I decided to take a trip over to TGI Fridays because we haven't been here in over 10 years. We could see through the windows that the place was absolutely dead and the only people there were the few employees and three customers at the bar. The kitchen, tables, and everything looked extremely outdated. We stood by the entrance for about 8 minutes waiting for someone to seat us. That was ridiculous. Then the server had to wipe down our table and bring silverware- even though we were the only customers eating. I would expect the table to be clean especially when no one is there eating. The food took about 20 minutes to come out and it was very greasy. About two hours later at home, my stomach starts cramping HORRIBLY. I've never had this stomach pain before. I get very nauseous and start to get chills. **TMI** Vomiting and diarrhea all night. I got food poisoning very badly and will never be returning. It was so so awful.

Our waitress literally came to our table 50 times to ask us how we were enjoying our food. I would take two bites of my chicken and then she would suddenly appear out of nowhere. I was having a very deep and intimate conversation with my friend about life and every time she came to our table, I would forget what we were talking about LOL but hey that's some great customer service!! In addition, when I walked into the bathroom, I saw that there was a huge puddle of vomit clogging the sink. I thought to myself WHY WOULD SOMEONE YACK IN THE SINK AND NOT THE TOILET?!..but anyways, I ran out of the bathroom holding my nose because I have a weak stomach and seeing the vomit made me want to vomit so I told the waitress about the mess in the bathroom and five minutes later, it was cleaned.

We were soon seated and told who our server would be. After 15 minutes or so the server came by to take our drink orders. It took another 20 minutes to get 2 iced teas. She took our order and we waited. While we were waiting the lady at the next table loudly demanded to see the manager because for the second time she was given the wrong food.

Forty-five minutes after being seated the server came up to our table and told us " the kitchen lost your order; if you give it to me again, I will expedite it". I told her we had a time constraint and she should just forget about it. She said she would send the manager over, we waited 10 minutes, but no one showed up. We just left and ate at the food court at the mall (where both the food and the service were excellent).

The location smelled strange. We were assaulted with the smell of windex when we came in - they must have just cleaned. Otherwise the restaurant just had a musty smell. When we were seated, I got slimed by something (mayo? Grease?) under the table, getting it all over my pants.

Fridays used to be our go to place, but no more. The food is ok or less. Actually the biggest issue is that it is never hot. It used to be at this location 7 days a week you had to wait for a table. Now its always half empty. we try it every few months and are always ok with taste, not great, for most of it. But it comes out luke warm. keeps doing that. Our servers have been sweet and attentive, but the food is not hot. we should send it back but fear it being over cooked. soup should be steaming so you have to blow on it instead of being able to eat it fast. moz sticks should take some getting used to. wings shojld be hot (temperature). none of these things have happened in the last year. again, another place we may not go back to -along with what seems to be a lot of columbia. most places have lines, not here. for a reason. its a shame.
