This really used to be the spot man. However, it's simply lost some of its luster since the last time I came. The food was decent, the service was okay. It wasn't so awful that the nostalgia couldn't bring me back, but I'm not clamoring for a round 2 anytime soon. read more

Food was good. Had the GOAT, Potato skins and tried the pot stickers. Service was friendly. The happy hour $5 is awesome and worth it. This location is within walking distance of the mall of America. Lots of tables. read more

TGI Fridays Bloomington - TGI Fridays Royal Lit, worth the extra charge. - American Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

The customer service was absolutely horrible. The food was cold, but we didn't even complain about it we simply settled for what we were given. When we asked the manager for boxes to take our food home, she was extremely rude, snotty, and unprofessional from the very beginning. Our tab was also incorrect, so we asked for it to be fixed. It took 35 minutes just to correct the tab, which was completely unacceptable. Instead of being helpful or apologizing for the inconvenience, the manager continued to have a nasty attitude and was even cussing. She was mean and dismissive the entire time. I also want to be honest about how I felt during this interaction. I believe the way we were treated may have been racially motivated. Racism is unacceptable in 2026, and no customer should be made to feel unwelcome or disrespected because of the color of their skin. I'm genuinely one of the nicest people you could meet, and I was respectful throughout the entire interaction, so the manager's behavior was especially disappointing. We didn't make a scene about the cold food or cause any problems. All we wanted was to get our food boxed and have an incorrect tab fixed. Instead, we were met with an extremely rude attitude and had to wait 35 minutes for something that should have been handled quickly. This experience was completely unacceptable and left a very bad impression of the establishment. read more

After driving 5 hours we came to have dinner. The service was pretty good. The tables did feel sticky. We had our own wipes and wiped it down as best as we could. The quality of the food wasn't that good. I've attached an image of my burger and you could tell it had been sitting under the heat lamps for a while. The restaurant was overly expensive for the quality of the food. read more

The staff were kind and helpful. The calories are on the menu, which sent me to the strawberry-lemon martini and it was delicious. The keg ran out for my guy's beer but that happens. We shared potstickers which were good (I was also starving so no pics). I had the aloha chicken bowl and found it a little light on the avocado from what I guessed would be in there but felt like a healthier choice. He had a bacon cheeseburger- standard stuff. It was walkable from the hotel we were stranded at and predictable, which was what we needed after a rough travel day. read more

The server was very friendly and sweet! Have no issue with our service! However, the food absolutely was awful. I'm not a picky eater and have had my fair share of lame meals, but this restaurant made its dishes practically inedible. The fish and chips was somehow undercooked and overcooked at the same time. Couldn't even eat it because it would crumble to pieces. The pasta I had was watered down and quite frankly, had a taste that resembled vomit. The chicken in the dish was very dry, flavorless, and had a gritty texture. I physically could not eat this dish without gagging. The aloha rice bowl was very good though! The lemonade was super yummy, but tasted like alcohol. Would not recommend for children. Overall, I'm very disappointed with the meal, especially considering the price, wait time, and quality of the food. read more

The service was very slow though our server was pleasant. The food was decent but the music was way too loud to have a conversation.

We had to go to the airport for a pick up and decided to go done a bit early for dinner. Found there was a Fridays and was excited to go there. I ordered the chicken fingers and fries. Was interested they had different portion sizes, which was new usually got 6 and that was quite a bit so, I ordered 4 instead. We'll to my disappointment the usually large chicken fingered are now the size of fingers. To top it off they have changed their honey mustard sauce as well. Soooo disappointed. Had been looking forward to the old chicken and honey mustard. My husband got a bacon cheeseburger he said it was ok. I was very bummed because I had been looked forward to the meal. Oh well I guess Fridays is off my list. Our service was fine. Not our servers fault corporate bring back the old recipes!! read more

Service was very poor and slow. The waitress seemed very disoriented. We gave her the benefit of the doubt but there was many occurrences where she would come back and to our table and ask what we ordered multiple times. She also introduced herself more than once and asked for our drink orders more than once. Food was mediocre at best. We also waited 45+ minutes for our food to arrive to our table. She also forgot of our table multiple times and had her coworkers to remind her to check up on us. 1/10 wouldn't recommend. read more

Went here for my Birthday celebration dinner with a dear friend! My favorite part about dinner with the time with my friend. I haven't eaten at TGIFridays in AGES! I felt like I went back in time. As sad as it is to say this...the days of this place have come to an end. They need to just close out this chapter and retire. The food quality was very so so. Not that the chef did anything wrong. Everything g was cooked well. But it just felt so blah...It made me realize how far behind they are in keeping up with the competition and menu items. They are stuck in the past as well. But I am so grateful for my time with my sweet friend and for treating me! That was a gift! read more

Went there for happy hour, which the website said was from 5 until 8 PM. However, the bartender said it was only 3 to 6. No matter. I was there before 6 o'clock, so still had access to the happy hour specials. I ordered a glass of wine and the potstickers. What came out were the potato skins. When I asked the server if these were in fact the potstickers, she said, "No,, do you still want them?" Well, yes, that's what I ordered. A good restaurant would have taken the wrong order away immediately, and without question. I ended up, finishing the potato skins, which wasn't bad, but small, and then wrapping up my visit. There was a large table. I would appear to be a company function. They weren't especially rowdy, but they were getting a little loud in the atmosphere was not really what I was looking for. Couple that with the missteps on the order and the fact that a couple of happy hour dishes had been crossed off the menu with a Sharpie, I decided it was just not the atmosphere I was looking for. Considering the atmosphere wasn't what I wanted, and the food was not what I ordered, I doubt that I'll be back. read more

Firstly, I'm not one to write negative reviews for any business and in fact this is my first time doing it. That is how strongly I feel you should not dine at this TGIF location near the Mall of America. The part that stood out the most was the food quality. I ordered the chicken bites appetizer. They were so smothered in bbq sauce I felt like I was eating mouthfuls of sugar, had to chase it with my Mac and cheese side that tasted like jarred sauce with raw flour. My biggest complaint was we had tried to use a coupon for a free appetizer but because no one at the table ordered an entree we couldn't use the coupon. This was our fault for not reading it correctly, but when the mistake was explained to us we took the burden and no complimentary money was taken off the check which is very customary for almost all restaurants. If a mistake was made and a customer isn't satisfied a small compensation is given. The manager just put the blame on us and walked away. The appetizer we paid full price for was the potato skins which were 6 mini half size potatoes that weren't worth the whole price to begin with. I understand the restaurant industry is a challenging place to work but this was a pathetic experience. read more

This is the first time I've ever been to a TGI Fridays in my life. I wanted to check it out since it was connected to my hotel and I enjoyed my time here, it's a big restaurant with many of the patrons crowding the bar table. Their drink options are fair and even had non alcoholic options and great signiture drinks. Their burgers, especially their fries were outstanding. The staff at least has fun and enjoys their job with really quick response time. My negatives about this place is that, the food can take a while to make but the presentation is great. Prices are really high, bathrooms aren't the cleanest. The patrons are really friendly as well. read more

Horrible expensive horrible food the fish was Brut wing was dry horrible sauce the bathroom had paper towels all on the floor and nun of the work had gloves on the only thing good was the mozzarella sticks if I could I would give it zero stars I would and the lemonade taste it like alcohol read more

We have been here twice in the last couple nights as we are from out of town and staying at the hotel that is right next to the restaurant. The food has been excellent both times and the servers have been fast and friendly! We had Keith as our server tonight and he was awesome! The restaurant was very busy but he was attentive to all his tables and made sure we quickly had everything we needed! He even took an extra few minutes at the table next to us so the little girls could pretend to pay the bill like mom and sign their signature, it was very cute! read more

service was astonishin, food plus desserts amazing, and ambiance was very chill and warm.

Restaurant was slow at 4:45 pm. No one came to seat us. Finally walked to the bar and asked if we could order there. Bartender said yes then told us the name of the other bartender (who was not even present). He then disappeared. 15 minutes more before she showed up. We ordered drinks and she left again. We were there waiting to order food for 15 more minutes. In total, the fiasco was 1 1/2 hours of my life lost. We watched as other patrons received similar treatment. Quite a cruel joke to watch their plights. read more

Darryl was a great bartender, on top of drinks and amazing service he was an amazing person! Can't wait to return!

I'm out of town. We stopped at TGIF Friday. We haven't had them in over 30 years. The service was good. The food was good and they did try to fix the problem with my wife's food. read more

They were very slow went for a birthday party and they tried making us pay for the whole bill and didn't want to split the bill after we told them several times. Then they asked us to split the check our self so we did even though they work and it's their job and the owner had the worst attitude and did not work with us. Then the waiter started taking videos and laughing at us, like it was funny read more

They refused to serve us and said if they did it was a10% up charge over all the service was non existent

The food was fine, the ambiance was weird. They played club music and it was 7pm on a Monday. If we wanted to talk to our server we have to flag him down as he was never around and ignored our table multiple times. I would not go there again. read more

The kids sliders are great even though you can't tell the temperature takes long to make only 4 entrees strongly recommend read more

I had a long layover and found this Friday's open late. I can't remember my servers name but she was GREAT!! She made sure we were taken care of from the time we walked in until the time we walked out!! They also have the best manager, his name is Robert and his leadership skills are why his servers are great. He was either right in front of or right behind the server making sure we had a great experience. Kudos to him for working the floor to make sure the restaurant was ran accordingly. Please go to this location across from the Mall of America!! read more

Went here with my best friends family, and honestly it was pretty good, except for some random person throwing at bottle of cleaner at my friends mom... other than that the food was great! Our server was cool as well. read more

TGI Fridays Bloomington - can't remember if these were the dumplings or potstickers - American Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

This breaks my heart to write as i worked for years at a Fridays in its hay day. only bright spot was our server who was polite and attentive. the food was just awful. only good thing were the seasoned fries but every item tasted like reheated cafeteria food. and the worst part was the price. 80 bucks for a family of four with only waters. absolutely skip. the food court in the mall was better. read more

Price for food is fair. We ordered a chicken sandwich, a hamburger, and the Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta. The appetizer sampler was a bit disappointing. Wings on the sampler were super small. The service was not good either. When ordering all our food they brought our appetizer with our entrees which made the meal less enjoyable. The scenery and ambiance was fair and typical of the usual chain restaurants. read more

It's been years since I've been here.... I'd say at least 5 years. My bestie and I were looking for some late night food and decided we'd give here a try. Arrived around 8:40pm Monday evening. Walked in, no staff at the hostess stand, however, we waited patiently for assistance. About 5 minutes later a guy by the name of Mike greeted us and sat us in a booth. He brought us waters and gave us a few minutes to look at the menu. When he returned, he took our order. While we were awaiting for our food, he returned to ask if we needed more water. I said yes, my bestie said no thank you. Mike's response to my bestie was "I wasn't asking you anyway" and he laughed. We were both taken back by his response (couldn't believe he said that). We know he was trying to be funny, but not the type of humor we appreciated as it was rude vs funny. Food was okay. Mozzarella sticks had quite a bit of Parmesan cheese on them (scraped some off) and the inside was cold. Personally, I was not a fan of the marinara sauce. Whiskey glazed boneless wings were crispy on the outside. I think they could have used more sauce. I was disappointed to see 12 wings were the smallest size you could order. I believe they call it the starter wings. I tried some of my bestie's fries and those were very good. Served hot and seasoned well. Overall, food was nothing to write home about. Restaurant is a little outdated and dark except over the tables, the light is shinning directly in your face (you may wanna bring your sunglasses). I don't see myself returning. Staff were MIA and our waiter Mike was rude. read more

Thanks to the team at Friday's on Killbrew! Amazing staff with even better food! Thanks to Robert for being an all star employee! Thank you for everything guys! Overall great experience! read more

Dirty, needs a major cleaning and upgrade. Large EXPENSIVE menu. Bathrooms are locked, you must get the code from an employee. Slow service. Waiter dropped by infrequently, but was hanging around for the tip. Don't order biscuits and gravy. "Gravy" is thin as water. Waffles were excellent. Hamburger was OKAY, fries were cold. Did not feel warm and welcoming. read more

The buzz on the internet is that the TGIFridays franchise is struggling. The restaurant closest to me is closed permanently, necessitating a half-hour drive to use a gift card. if this burger meal is any indication, it's easy to see why they might be going under water like a cargo-carrying colander. No problem getting seated. Happy Hour only was good in the bar...have no idea what that's all about. Maybe this is a subtle way of telling customers, "We care more about making money off of you than we care about you." A look over the menu sent the same message. Compared their competitors (think Applebees, Chili's and the like), Fridays is significantly more expensive, and worse, there are no specials. Even most burgers are pushing $20. I ordered a simple cheeseburger and a Diet Coke. I asked specifically that the fries be fresh (I always ask for this, from hard-earned experience). The Diet Coked tasted more like Dr. Pepper than Coke. Ugh. The burger came after a longer wait than I would have expected, given that the restaurant was pretty empty. Maybe that explains why both the burger and fries were warm, but not hot. Probably sat on the shelf after cooking, which would explain both the lascivious of both speed and temperature. The cheese was hardly melted, although the meat patty was cooked. My mistake was to shrug my shoulders and start eating...my server came by after a long delay to check on my order...he arrived when I was about to take my last bite! No stopping to see if I needed a refill on my Diet Dr. Coke-Pepper. My bad,I know...I should have spoken up immediately, which is what the manager suggested (instead of offering any reduction on the bill) when I told him (in very polite terms) about my meal's several shortcomings. This matched perfectly the issue I mentioned in paragraphs 2 and 3, which showed a disturbing disconnect between value/customer service and making more money. The manager did offer me a refill to go, which tasted worse than the one on my table... I dumped it out at the first stoplight on the way home. Server was fine, got the order right, but it can't be that tough to produce a cheeseburger and fries, and have it hit the diner's table hot. Or stop by within the first 20-some minutes to see if the meal is acceptable. Since my gift card is used up, and TGIFridays are closing left and right, I obviously won't be back to this, or any other Fridays in the future. read more

I've came here for the past few years and never really had a bad experience. The service and food has gone DOWN. My food had 0 flavor and I left over half the plate. Our server didn't bring us any silverware or napkins. She didn't check on us one single time either. I've never not tipped at a restaurant ever before, but this was the first time I've actually experienced terrible service and terrible food and no tip was deserved. Do better tgi!! read more

The service was great but the food was horrible, $160 (including tip of 25%) because the server was great. I couldn't even eat the chicken. It was so rubbery. Literally the worst quality of food I've ever received. My daughter got a salad and couldn't even eat the Romaine. read more

NOTE: this is a review by a 10-year-olds perspective The food is the only reason they're even are stars. The bacon cheeseburger is pretty good without any toppings and stuff, but I would like the pretzel bites as a side. The pretzel bites took a very long time and we discovered that they literally gave my pretzel bites to someone else. how do you even mess that up? once we finally got them....... OK it was actually kind of worth it. 2 stars P'S: the waiters were pretty nice and they did eventually correct it and give it to us for free so yeah it's just a little mixup. and the food was the tastiest food in the world.It's just it could've been better. read more

Stop in here quite a bit wile waiting for flights home Mike the bartender always takes great care of me, good is great as well

This location is where my now wife and spend every anniversary as it is the place we went to enjoy drinks at the bar after our first dinner date. So, this location is rather special. So, now to the review portion. We continue to frequent this location l, typically it's at night (after 6pm) and it is a fun place to be. Their 2 main bartenders are awesome and so much fun to be around. You can intend to go for maybe an hour but we always find ourselves there past midnight. Food is always good, and everything is reasonably priced. However, we have also been there for the lunch time and it is a different atmosphere which is pretty typical. We did end up waiting longer for our food than when it's busier at night. Maybe due to staffing?? It's still great food but definitely isn't the "fun, hang out for hours" atmosphere that the nights bring to the place. We enjoy visiting, but we'll stick to the party time at TGIs. read more

Love, love, love this location! Friendly staff, good food, and inviting atmosphere. Michael G. was an incredible server - attentive, kind, and funny. Ask to be put in his section if you're looking for a great dining experience! read more
