Took a while to get seated, eventually someone came over to seat us, no greeting or thanks for waiting, just follow me. Server came over promptly to take drink order, when she came back with drinks and we were not ready to order we didn't see her again till she bought our apps out 10 minutes later. I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries that comes with a soda, she charged me for one anyway which pointed out to get removed. Food was good, sandwiches and wings with apple butter bbq. Place was clean and temperature was good. Bathrooms were clean. read more

First you have a level so your expectations because this is a TGI Friday. So it isn't fine dining. However, I did have my fair share of issues. The first one being that there are fruit flies all over the restaurant, which is gross and not appetizing. Also not conducive for a meal because they are constantly flying around while you're trying to eat. I actually ordered my food to go and my issue was that it took forever for them to create it. There might have been 10 total people in the restaurant when I placed my order and it took 40 minutes for a simple meal for one person. No complications or add ons. The staff was nice and the manager accommodated me, however it wasn't the best experience. And turns out that my food was sitting in the back getting cold, so by the time I got home to eat it it was no longer a warm meal. read more

Whats good Yelp Nation, This was our third stop on a Laburnum bar crawl. This TGI is not your typical chain restaurant. It has a strong local vibe despite being close to an airport. Has that Cheers vibe a little bit, mixed with a little hustle and bustle. If you like a strong drink, this is a good place to go. I had a mojito, and it was great! The bartender did a great job. read more

TGI Fridays - Regular Mojito - Sports Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We haven't had food from this TGIF location in about 2 years because the quality of food and order oversight had gone downhill. But we decided to grab takeout Lunch today. The food was ready in the promised time, the order was correct, and the food was delish (fish & chips, two burgers). The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars was because in the past, this order would have cost us $60 with tax and tip, but it cost $74 today. There's no way the costs have gone up that high in a couple of years. read more

No. No. No. Time to rebrand. Visiting from the north where they have all been closed, sought to remember when I enjoyed a beer and wings at the bar. No. No. No. so sad. Bartender was too busy with socializing to care my lonely soul. After waiting 10 minutes, bc of the holiday, I left a $20 for a beer and 8 wings. My farewell gift I suppose. read more

I ordered online the whiskey glazed chicken and the Cajun pasta to go. I checked the bags and neither lid was secured. The small container with the whiskey glazed had no lid period so that spilled all over everything. A bread stick came with food and of course it was in the same container as food so bread stick was a soggy mess. I love Fridays and being that we have had this water crisis I wanted to eat out instead of boiling more water only to have this happen. The restaurant was kind of empty and I wasn't in a rush so its no excuse for careless prep and containers read more

Terrible, just terrible. When we were first seated the waitress was arguing with the people at the next table about a 50% off coupon they had. Tried to tell them that $7 was 50% off $40. They had to send her away to talk to someone to get it right. We got the same waitress and had the same coupon. Wife's burger was chewy and made of I don't know what. My chicken was also tough and overcooked. And of course we had the same issue with the waitress and the coupon! Never again. read more

This was a lovely experience. I was a bit surprised there wasn't more people in the restaurant on a Saturday but that could have been due to the rain. The service was great. Our waitress did a wonderful job and our food came out quicker than anticipated. Its a lively restaurant. Be prepared to overhear interesting conversations. read more

Our server Ja'Senta was very good. We got an appetizer of dumplings that was very good. And ribs that was very good. Came with fries and salad. I had mashed potatoes in place of fries. Total bill was $93 with a 20% tip. Feels overpriced for all. read more

I don't know why I keep giving this place more chances. Whoever the GM is clearly doesn't care about the quality of food that is served at this place or they are clueless. Today's items of disaster consisted of fried shrimp and mini crab cakes. The crab cakes were burned and the shrimp looked like it was plucked out of the trash or from someones leftovers . Had to trash them both! Ithis will be my last time giving this location may money. read more

Worst Fridays I've been to. And I've been to many locations. The bathroom floor was so sticky, my flip flop came off of my foot walking in. It was apparent the restrooms are neglected. Which begs the question, how clean is the kitchen? The server was friendly and checked back regularly. The menu was limited and didn't have some of the traditional items, like French onion soup and jack Daniels chicken and shrimp. I ordered the classic Friday's combo. That should have been a safe bet. The wings were tiny and over fried. The sauce was good, but the bones of the wings crumbled and went in my mouth when i took a bite. I've eaten many, many wings and that has never happened. They were basically inedible. The potato skins, which they are "famous" for, were definitely frozen. They might have been potatoes in 2013, but have probably been frozen since. The mozzarella sticks were ok. Hard to mess those up. Service good. Food bad. Won't go back, especially with plenty of other options in the area. Corporate needs to pay a visit here. read more

Never made it to a seat Saturday night. "30 minute wait. Our kitchen is backed up". Can we sit at the bar? "No, you have to wait 30 minutes". Where, there are open seats and we could have a beer while we wait? "You can wait here (lobby)." And we left. read more

Things have changed the past few years for this establishment. They no longer sell certain things like my usual pecan crusted chicken salad. They were understaffed and you could tell by the waitresses faces. We couldn't seat ourselves where we wanted she told staffing. J usually opt for table but we were seated at the booth. Red chair was extremely uncomfortable. Food was fair , didn't get a refill on tea. Cook left a few items off our order but they fixed it when we brought to their attention. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon. read more

I went with a friend yesterday, Sunday, November 5 to this location. The dining room was closed. Only the bar was open. I should have better read the menu to see that the burgers were char- broiled. Unfortunately, I don't like the taste of charcoal, so my bad. Service was slow and incomplete. We never did get our entire order and the wait person was never at the table long enough to ask My friend ordered chicken tenders and got four shriveled up, overcooked strips of chicken. The broccoli slaw was inedible and looked unappetizing. I doubt I will go back. The menu was extremely limited and quality and service were bad. I can only guess they're able to stay open because the bar area was busy due to football games. read more

We have been to this TGI Fridays twice and will not go back. Most of the staff are rude and lazy, and the managers don't seem to care. We went there last night for my birthday and ended up leaving without eating. The employee at the front desk was rude. He told us the wait was 15 minutes. About 40 minutes later, I asked him what was going on. He said "I don't know" in a rude voice and then walked away. We then talked with a manager. When the manager asked the front-desk employee why we had not been seated yet, he claimed that the front-desk tablet was not working and that he had no idea when he could seat anyone. Seriously? When I asked him why he had not told us this when he put us on the waiting list, he stormed off, and the manager just stood there and let him storm off. The manager than told us that we were "first in line" but that it would be another 15-20 minutes before we could be seated. They had numerous empty tables all over the place. While we had been waiting, at least 12 people had finished eating and had left the restaurant, so I didn't understand why there was such a delay. We decided to leave and take our money elsewhere. I should add that several other people who had been waiting to be seated gave up and left. read more

I ordered a Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta I wouldn't feed this shit to a hungry fuckn bear my chicken had green veins in them and my ribs did not fall off the FUCKN bone I wouldn't recommend eating here read more

Hair in my food, never will come here ever again 0-10 service is ok. So atp count ur days

Food was mediocre at best. Wings were tough and cold. Shrimp was tasteless. I guess if I had to say something positive it would be there was no crowd and Andre the writer seemed genuinely happy to have a job read more

Sat at the bar to eat while in town. Service was super slow which was strange since I was probably 1 of 5 people in the entire place . Staff standing around doing nothing , which they should have been cleaning the place due to the filth Took 35 minutes to get a grilled chicken sandwich that was warm at best and over sauced Not a good experience read more

My husband ordered a burger with fries and they gave him a burger with im not sure what. I wish I could've gotten a picture. It was extremely unappetizing. The burger was soggy and did not taste right. I got a medium rare 6oz sirloin with grilled shrimp. Didn't come with the shrimp and the steak was over cooked as pictured. My fork couldn't even go through it. And my mashed potatoes had a film over them like they'd been sitting out a while. The broccoli was mushy. But the garlic sauce the food came with was weird and salty. My food came out at least 25 minutes after my husband and son got theirs. So I just sat there. My son got the kids sliders with a side of broccoli. His food was fine. he liked the broccoli. The appetizer we got were just the mozzarella sticks and they were pretty good. We also only got 1 drink each. No refills, the waitress was quick to leave each time so we couldn't really ask for some. We sat there a good 25 minutes just waiting for them to ask what we would like to drink once we got there also. In total we spent 2 hours there only to leave with empty stomachs. read more

Zero stars. Avoid. First time, I stopped in for a drink and ordered an old fashioned. I wasn't looking for perfection, and I could tell I wasn't going to get it from the fact that I waited for about 15 minutes while the staff putzed around. I also wasn't too mad when they served me a whiskey sour with enough triple sec to cause diabetes, and charged me four dollars. But when I ordered takeout, the food was cold, old, and incomplete. Potato skins felt like chewing rubber, kind of like when food has been sitting out for over a day. Ordered "Nashville hot" wings -- totally bland and no resemblance to Nashville hot chicken. I received blue cheese instead of ranch, which wasn't a big deal because I had no celery to dip in it, despite celery being pictured in the menu. Probably a good thing because the celery probably would have been limp and rubbery given the overall quality of this meal. Ordered buffalo sauce on the side but they left it in the bottle at the restaurant. The only thing that was of acceptable temperature and freshness was the soda, and that's because it was basically a 12 oz plastic cup of ice that I paid $3.50 for. Actually, everything I got was overpriced. I'm really hoping the owners of White Oak Village knock out some of these garbage chains and put in some quality so I don't have to drive into the city or West End for everything. Something interesting or fun--if that's too much to ask put up a damn Chipotle. Thanks! read more

Our first time visiting this location. The entire experience was horrible! Food took forever to arrive plus it was cold! I never received my food because it was remade three times due to inaccuracies of my order. I ended up walking over to Qdobas to get my meal. The restaurant was not busy at all! Maybe five tables were occupied. Our server apologized for our long waited cold food but that didn't help the situation. She offered us a card for a free dessert. No thank you! Next time we visit Richmond we will go straight to Qdobas read more

I'd like to say that I understand that the stress of Valentine's Day compiled with Coronavirus can make anyone who works in a restaurant weak in the knees but tonight's food and service was far beyond being excusable for any reason. Place my order sometime around 6:20pm for curbside pickup, I'm told on the app it'll be ready at 7:00pm and once I arrive to tell them I'm there, enter in parking number and they'll bring it out. I send my husband up there, no pickup places to park, no biggie, I'll inform them there's no more spots and let them know exactly where he's parked. He waits maybe 15 minutes and decides to go inside. Not a single person around to even ask if the order will be ready within the decade. Eventually he did talk to someone... several times... long story short it seems our food was somehow over looked for 2 whole hours because once my husband got home it felt like our food had quite literally been refrigerated and we only live an 8 minute drive away. I'll go ahead and throw in the broccoli and lettuce on the hamburger was brown but it would've been tolerable had it not been an ice block. Again, I get it, I do, but just letting food sit there? Letting people wait around for no reason? read more

The worst experience ever. The host sat us and no one said anything for ten minutes. We literally just ordered appetizers and it took a hour for it to come. My friends food came on a plate my food came out in a plastic container. I didn't order anything to go and the waitress said they ran out of plates but the people sitting behind us who ordered after us received their food on plates. The manager took care of my meal but I still was applaud by the horrible customer service read more

TGI Fridays - Ghetto Friday's - Sports Bars Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

In a convenient location, so my fiancé and I tried the food. We were here before and the food wasn't that bad but oh god, the food was just terrible here today. I had a blue oasis I think, and when I tell you a drink is bad, it was the absolute most terrible thing that be I tried before. The cocktail tasted too thick? I don't know what they added. My fiancé had an edible drink though. Then we had classic fridays combo, which wasn't the worst, but not the best we've had. Our entrees were the absolute worse though. I had gotten the bacon ranch chicken sandwich and my fiancé had gotten a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. He didn't even eat half of it, maybe like 1/4 of his sandwich. For my sandwich, I only ate the lettuce, avocados, and chicken. But the chicken wasn't that great. Tasted like frozen chicken that they had heated back up. All in all, the food wasn't that great. It made us to decide to never eat at a tgif again. We should have headed to Olive Garden. read more

We loved our server! I don't remember her name, but she had piercings and was black. She was so patient, kind and on top of everything

We just wanted an easy, quick lunch on our way home from the river. We should've realized something was off when we walked into the Very Cold, nearly-empty restaurant and were seated Right Next to a woman having a contentious discussion on speakerphone with her baby-daddy. With said baby loudly begging for momma's attention-and calling momma 'ugly'. I tried to order a lunch combo (French onion soup and a lunch sized salad), and was told the soup (a printed menu item) was not available. Since I didn't want a house salad and a lunch sized salad for my combo (they have very limited combo offers), I ordered the chipotle chicken salad ($12). Big mistake. The salad tasted like a salt block. I think I found three shreds of cheese, and had two small sightings of what appeared to be avocado. The 'chipotle' chicken was ice-cold and so salty I couldn't even take the uneaten portion as a snack for my dogs. Not to mention the texture of the chicken was mushy. Even the 'tortilla' pieces were Beyond stale. I couldn't, wouldn't eat it. Husband's lunch combo looked like they had pulled it out of a vat of grease...the same stuff they must use to mop the floors, which were somewhat sticky-slick. We got the check and left, full portions remaining on the table. Something we've never done, we simply could not get out fast enough. Needless to say, we won't be back. No way, no how. There are too many decent places in the immediate area. read more

Slow I'm slow service. Don't know what they're doing back in the kitchen or who did show up for work but I ordered and paid for online so I'm stuck here. Said my order would be ready at a certain time,so I come to the store,I expect to wait at the most 10mins since I put the order in online 30mins before I get there. Get here and it seems that they haven't even started on my order. I want to leave but I already paid. And I am ready 2 cuss!!! read more

Worn furnishings and not very clean. Very friendly greeter and waitress, and Manager stopped at the table to see if everyone was ok. The food is typical of every TGI Friday's I've eaten at. Got our drinks and food within a reasonable amount of time, but never got drink refills. Only reason we ate here is because of its close proximity to our hotel. read more

We were passing through and originally planned to stop at ChickFilA to be honest but they were closed for renovation. However, I'm very glad we went to this Fridays. The staff was pleasant and our waitress specifically was so friendly and helpful. The burger, chicken and avocado sandwich, and kid's meal we ordered were all yummy and satisfying. Very family friendly for my 4 year old and 9 month old. read more

Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta was basic. No actually it was bland. The Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls were not good at all probably because they were frozen. I gave it 2 stars because the sweet tea was good read more

This place is horrible . I was waiting to get waited on. Staff payed me no mind. So many ppl passed an didn't ask me did I need assistance. The lady manager was so rude and didn't care... told me I could find somewhere else to eat. Your managing our teens an you act that way. Such a disgrace. I'm surprised this trash of a place is still open. read more

Celebrated lunch with my girls. The waitor was pretty lame, and not very observant. He would walk over and ask if everything was okay at random times, but not notice that drinks were empty.... Twice we had to ask him for a re fill when he was oblivious. The food was good. I had a jack Daniels chicken sandwich.. Its a favorite of mine and never disapoints. I choose a side salad instead of fries and it was also good. The strawberry lemonade was yummy too. read more

We divided to go there for some beers and to watch the Celtics vs Clev game, place was 400 feet from our hotel, also to grub something. Upon entering the establishment we were greeted by these 2 friendly ladies, and we let em know we just hanging out at the bar area. When we open the door, there was a really weird smell... Not exactly sure what it was, dried up beer? Sour rag? Vomit? Asiago cheese? All of those combined? Who knows!?! I just know that it was overpowering! I even mentioned to one of the bartenders at the bar area, she said I don't smell anything. We got our beers and the game was going on. About some 25 min later I spot the manager "discreetly" walking by with a spray bottle spraying it around. It smelled like strong cherry. I actually ordered some food, the bucket of bones, it was so good I was licking my fingers(the food I'll give 5 stars) But somehow that smell had to go away! I wouldn't mind going back there but if I open the door and that strange smell is there you betta believe I ain't going back in! Straight up Someone please take care of this place read more

This place is kind of a mess. I've been to quite a few Friday's locations, and I'm afraid this ranks among the worst of them. Parking was a bit hard to find in the busy lot, though my friend and I managed. We were greeted by the hostess who, judging by the speed of her ability to seat us at an empty table, was new to the location. In fact, many of the employees I interacted with that evening seemed new. That should be your first warning sign: poor-performing restaurants have high employee turnover, and thus new employees on a near-constant basis. We waited a while for our server to come over, and when she did she seemed to be in a great rush (a surprise, since from my observation she didn't appear to have more than two tables including us). We made our drink order and she returned with it shortly. We placed our orders (the make-your-own burgers) and I showed her my Friday's card, which is what I've always presented to get the complimentary chips and salsa. She didn't read our order back to us or acknowledge the card and, as expected, no chips came, nor did she make any callbacks before the entrees arrived to allow me to ask for some. Shame. When the food arrived, both of our orders were incorrect. The server didn't even notice this despite delivering the food herself, and she apologized when we pointed out the issues. It took about 10 more minutes to fix the orders, and she got us some refills after the fixed orders were brought to us. The sole positive part of this evening was that the food, once corrected, was excellent. It was clear the orders had been expedited in the kitchen (cheese wasn't fully melted), though it was still delicious and the ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. A manager stopped by to ask how our experience had been, though decided to do so as our server was almost right next to him, ruining the chance for any constructive criticism to be conveyed. Another employee we hadn't seen before this point brought us a to-go container despite the fact that we were both done with our food. Thanks? Finally we received the check, and I offered her the coupon code from my phone and a manager had to run her through the process of how it worked. We were glad to be paid and out of there. Bottom line, the food at Friday's is actually good, and the coupons offered here make it very affordable, though the poor service makes you wonder if trips here are worth it. Overall: 2.0 stars ----------- Pros: - Great food and decent portions. - Coupons/rewards program makes it cheap to dine here. Cons: - Atrocious/rushed service. - Bar area seemed incredibly loud, glad we didn't eat in that section. - New staff slow down what should be a fairly expeditious experience. - Not much parking in their private lot. read more

Excellent service and good food. Our waitress was very friendly and courteous and did everything she could to make us feel welcome during the pandemic. Thank you ! read more

The worst experience I have ever had. The appetizers weren't out yet and the server asked us if we wanted our entrees because they were ready!!! They obviously put the food under a heat lamp until we were ready which rendered it lukewarm when finally delivered. Drink refills....forget about it. In 90 minutes I had one beer and had to ask three different people for a second. Finally, 20 minutes later that second beer came. Quite possibly the worst food and experience I've had in sometime. read more
