We use to love TGIF in Hauppaugh Once that went down hill and close we tried going to the CI location. We were seated at a table that had ants all over it , we said something to the waitress and she just wiped the table off. We had to ask the manager to move us, which she did. The next group of people that came in were then seated at the "ant" table. They didn't complain, but were killing ants the entire time we were there. It was kinda amusing, we haven't been back since. read more

If you are searching for absolutely mediocre food & drink, this TGIF, is your spot. The Corona beer was flat. The burger was cooked to medium, (as I asked). It lacked flavor, and wasn't very interesting, the fries were overly salty, but good. To be straight? Shake Shack by the mall, makes a farrrr better product for considerably less coin. Myself and friends are in no hurry to ever return. The server was fine. read more

Great food and service, well kept with nice atmosphere. Great experience- highly recommended

We come to this TGI at least once a week Mainly because of the service. Have never had issues with the food, service, or cleanliness. The Bartender CHRIS is amazinggggg. Allen is pretty good as well - don't see management too often. There is decorations for holidays and things to do (photobooth, etc) but it's really not brought to life from this management team. Especially not according to the promo emails I receive. So yeah TGI for the win really only because Chris holds half the restaurant down so effortlessly. If he leaves I probably wouldn't come back tbh. read more

We came at 8:15... we sat and waited.. in a very empty bar a total of 8 people who were served and or paying for their food.. we left at 8:26... nobody ever came. Disappointed. I was so excited to have a meal. The bartender saw us and didn't even care to at least wave. Probably don't go back. read more

Okay so I don't think any of us really expect too much out of any Fridays, but the way this one disappoints is just too severe and too often. Normally I let it slide or whatever, but my latest encounter was too ridiculous. The service was pretty good. Our waiter was fairly attentive and genuinely apologetic when the kitchen forgot some things we ordered. I ordered a bucket of bones which features ribs, wings, and fries. The ribs were burnt, which you can clearly see in the photo, wings were incredibly small and dry, and the fries tasted old. I also had a side salad and it was pretty decent. Now let's talk about the "ambiance" that was polluted by a mother and her two girls poor behavior. The girls who were old enough to know better, treated the establishment like a playground and decided to run and jump barefoot across several booths and seats, climbing over dividers, and hang from ledges. As if that wasn't enough, no one, parent nor management, found it necessary to address the inconsiderate behavior. Honestly, if you mustttt get Fridays then order to go/pickup to avoid the inevitable foolishness. read more

I hate to leave this review but I've given this Fridays so many chances and this last experience was the final straw. Visited about 7:30pm on. Sat night. Place was not busy at all maybe 6-8 tables and a handful of people at the bar. We were seated immediately at a table in the bar area. We waited for about 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Finally our server arrived and right away, after asking what IPA beer was on tap found out it was her 3rd day on the job. We were patient with her. We received our drinks, placed our food order after it arrived we had a few issues which we planned on letting the server know but she took so long to come back that a member of our party notified the manager... He, the manager (Lorenzo) came to our table. We asked if he was a little short staffed as it took an unreasonably long time to get service, he replied oh no we have two servers on tonight.... On a Saturday night?!?!? Anyway after all the food issues were resolved we then again waited for the check....when our server came to the table a member of our party asked if we were going to be compensated for all the issues we had. The server went to get the manager again, when he came back they again told him how unhappy we all were I will admit this person was very unhappy and did use an expletive here and there. Our surprise was when the manager replied using the same language and very unprofessionally grabbed the check only to return to slam it on the table again repeatedly that we wouldn't have to "f@cking" pay the whole bill... Never in all my years with customers would I use language like that or lose my cool in front of a trainee and the patrons! This was the last time we will ever come here!! The saddest part is that poor server on her 3rd day probably got reamed out when it wasn't her fault... had they had enough staff tables would be waited on in a timely manner... Shame on you Lorenzo!!! read more

Service is at a snail's pace; desserts are not served as advertised. I went there twice and I now vow never to go back. I ordered a well done burger. It was undercooked. I ordered a cheesecake with a strawberry drizzle. There was no drizzle and the cheesecake was frozen. We ordered cinnamon sugar pretzels. We got no sugar and caramel on the side. We had to ask for the sugar. The server was nice but this restaurant should be ashamed. I had to take my dessert home to thaw. read more

I ordered through grubhub. They have my order to someone else. Told my driver pickup that they couldn't make it again. They basically stiffed grubhub with my bill (bc they refunded it) after showing someone to steal my order. Horrible customer service. What would they have said if I went to pick it up myself? read more

Terrible service, had to call the restaurant for someone to help us, straight up ridiculous

La primera vez que fui ordené cerveza y estaba bien fría y por eso regresé una segunda vez pero ya no fue igual estaba caliente, regresé una tercera vez esperando que volviera a estar fría pero me sirvieron cerveza caliente, al parecer tienen problema con el compartimento Don de almacenan los barriles, el bartender tarda mucho tiempo en atender, el cóctel de camarones me lo sirvieron a la mitad hasta que tuve que ordenar otro y lo pudrieron llenar como yo esperaba read more

It takes a lot for me to give 2 stars, but when I ask for medium rare and I get super well done, it's just not good. I can live with medium or even just a smidge of pink in there. Unfortunately this was for delivery so I didn't have the ability to send it back. read more

food was so tasteless i went to 3 different locations...the Islip location had the most bland tasting food We all were disappointed... i made a call and let them know... and i was promised a "little something" which J never received but really it wasn't my intention.... read more

I just got to say the endless apps were great, and the server Anna was awesome great service. Will definitely come back again

If I could leave this 0 stars, I would have. The GM Justin is extremely rude!! I ordered two apps pot stickers and mozzarella sticks, they were both like $5 and $5.50 for three piece each!! Total rip off and before I could send it back my kids dug into it then I asked for a burger cooked med raw when they bought that out it was well done as soon as I cut into it I told them I'm not paying for it and sent it back the gm offered to cook another I said nope bc I know y'all will spit in it. read more

Since this place opened it honestly has struggled with keeping up with the guest and the atmosphere. But these past few years this place has become a spot I can come to for a wind down from a long day, or just a great spot to have a good time with friends. It absolutely makes the greatest difference in the world when you have AMAZING SERVICE FROM JARID, TONY AND my favorite Bar manager DYLAN! THESE GUYS ARE PHENOMENAL, EVERY DRINK PICTURED WAS MADE BY ONE OF THESE 3 THROUGHOUT THE YEARS! Catered to my liking, as true customer service is, I'm a pain but I am always greeted with warmth, welcoming smiles and conversation. These guys make the time here wonderful. read more

Alyssa was great and the food was excellent! She built great rapport and was very tentative. The food was really good.

Edwin was my server and I had a great time there! He's a great conversationalist and wasted no time getting me my drink and food. Usually I ask for a Coke with no ice, but none of the other servers actually listen except for him (he also gets me an extra plate so I can eat the fries). He also introduced me to the Blue Raspberry Slushie and it was so good! The store is decorated beautifully and I love coming here once a week for their fries :) read more

I really enjoyed the dessert, aliah helped me pick it out. Overall very great service and environment!

The host Lucas was very friendly and helped us get our table quickly and our server Jesse was very polite and helped get our food ASAP

ANNA was our waitress and was amazing with us!! She is a super nice person and made us feel welcome. The ambiance was great as well. If you're ever around the central Islip TGIF, ask for Anna! read more

As a professional yelper, I take my job VERY seriously. I entered TGI-Fridays in Central Islip, and LET ME TELL YOU, this location is the epitome of fine dining. I was greeted by a young professional named Alyssa. She was kind, courteous and organized, all excellent traits for a young woman in the service industry. From the moment, I was greeted by Alyssa, I KNEW it was gonna be a good night. She had the strawberry lemonades ON DECK. My thirst was quenched the entire evening thanks to her! I told Alyssa I was feeling a bit homesick, I'm originally from Philly (LETS GO FLYERS). She heard my concerns and truly listened. She ensured me that the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls would bring me back to my childhood days, AND OH BOY! Was she right! Overall the food was great, the drinks were great and the service was great! In TGI-Fridays it's always Friday! read more

The Worst! I had gone here about 2 weeks ago with an old friend. It was pretty much empty. We got our food in a timely manner and it was great. Fastforward to Saturday a little before 5pm. Go back with my Husband after shopping all day. There people seated. 2 tables (5 people total) We order a beyond meat burger and a salmon dinner. Get our drinks right away (I ordered sprite got seltzer water). 5:17 no food. No server. 530 no food no server. I get up to go se what's going on and out server comes over and says you ordered the buffalo wings right. No. We repeat our orders. He says that's right they're going in now. Excuse me??? After a 30 minute wait in an empty restaurant you're just now putting our order in? He says how people called out there's only one cook in the kitchen. Understandable but let's now rewind to the table of 5 that came in 15 minutes after us and every single person got their food before us. I was done at that point. Offered to pay drinks so we we could leave. Server states he'll take care of it. It was obvious he never put out ticket in because he was too busy chit chatting with the other servers. Save time go to Islandia it's way better. read more

Order online for delivery to car. Checked in when I got there. Parking lot empty. Waited 10 minutes past time it was supposed to be ready. Called. Young lady says "oh it's right here " 3 minutes later she comes out. I ask her if it's still hot. She says that is was on a warmer. Got home of course food is cold. Husband got soggy fries. I ordered coleslaw but also got soggy fries. I should have known better. read more

amazing food and i will always go back there with my family anf friends i always have love tgi fridays

Waiter seems very nice. I'm thinking they might be under staffed. 10 minutes before our order was taken than we waited awhile for our appetizers but when they came out everything was hot and fresh. So was the meal. read more

Here's the Scoop: Since this TGIF became part of this mall I never really liked it because service was eh and food never served fresh or hot. Well, today my daughter and I went shopping and was near this Friday's so I decided to give it another shot. The service was great and the upgraded decorations are on point. Love the new feel. Upon entering nice welcome from hostess and quick seating. Definitely like the upgrades. There's live music on Friday's and Saturday's that I hear is great. Must come to check it out. So glad they've improved this TGIF because I was so disappointed on my first visit. My fellow Yelpers check them out if you're in area. read more

Just ordered a delivery from this place. No fries came with the order. I called up the restaurant, and the gentleman told me he packed it himself. Basically called me a liar unbelievable will never order from this particular establishment again, nor should anyone else. read more

Was seated today, 9/18/22 around 1:00pm and by 1:15pm I gave up and left. Nobody acknowledged me, nobody took a drink order, no nothing. Was so loud in there it was like they had a live DJ in there clubbing instead of doing what a restaurant does and take orders and make food. Save yourself the headache and visit the one closer to Hauppauge instead. Skip right over this place. read more

This place sucks! They are severally under staffed. It's like a Martin episode where he plays all the characters. Our waiter practically greeted us at the door as a host, at one point he was making the drinks, saw him telling jokes at another table like a comedian, I'd bet money that he made the food in the back as well, it was ridiculous. On top of being every role, he also had a weird attitude but I guess that's what happens when you're wearing too many hats. He was one of two staff working, so it was like winning the lottery when we got his attention. On top of bad service, the food wasn't very good either. Not sure when this place got so pitiful but I won't be back. Total waste of time. read more

The place looks very fun when you walk in. We had to wait 5 min before someone realized we were standing and waiting for them to sit us down. The waiter was nice. The food was ok. The salmon is really good but the skillets weren't as pictured in there menu. The spinach artichoke dip was ok but the wings were good. read more

Ordered take out from this location. I am not a fan of Friday's but love anything Jack Daniels on the menu. I ordered a JD 6oz sirloin and mashed potatoes. The steak cooked perfectly as ordered medium. I was surprised how well it was cooked and how it tasted. The mashed potatoes yikes! Horrible it was so gummy the texture was just horrible not as I remember as many years ago I would frequent Friday's. Three stars are for the service food was ready as I arrived and steak was tasty! read more
