Start: we ordered one of their signature cocktails...not available. Ordered an entree...not available. Tried again. Food that came was okay, not great, not good, just okay Service: the service was attentive and friendly. Very apologetic for the items that were unavailable Ambulance: Okay place, not the special place you would think it should be Overall: D+ read more

It's closed. Wouldn't even answer the phone. Drove all the way from Champaign. Was dark inside, tried calling before we left to verify it was open. But they never answered the phone. Then it went totally busy signal. read more

I'm going to tell you why I am giving them 5 stars ...the breadsticks aren't on the menu but you can ask and they are wonderful!! Ok. Maybe they're just a vessel for the melted butter! I have a hard time going to TGI's without ordering the Jack Daniel's flat iron steak. That sauce is incredible! Of course, you have to get it on mashed potatoes, too, which are yummy and do not taste at all like packaged mashed potatoes, but the real thing - just like your grandma used to make!! The sides are also a treat - the steamed spinach if you're trying to make up for all the calories from the food I just mentioned...or the tomatoes and mozzarella salad in italian dressing. Both very good options! My father-in-law always gets the cole slaw and it is crunchy and not too mayonnaise laden, but has a tang to it that is really a nice addition to a heavier meal.Then, they have all the vegetable options: broccoli, steamed veggie mix, fries, etc. Overall, this TGI's is one of the nicest I've ever been to. The manager, Justin, is a fantastic manager and is always going and speaking to people - correcting anything that seems out of place, and generally seems WAY too competent to just be the manager. I'm surprised he's still here and hasn't been snatched up by another company looking for a GM. Every time we go into this restaurant he remembers my father-in-law by name, asks about the family, etc. just from being regular customers. It's a gift. I think if I went into desserts this review would be another page longer. Just trust me and order one. You can't go wrong! Oh! And the margaritas are phenomenal, too!! read more

Just extraordinarily average. Expected just a little bit more. Service mediocre. Food mediocre. Beer a little flat and you guessed it-mediocre. read more

This was an office reunion. The second server was good but they were out of the first 4 wines we asked for. Finally ordered a house Chardonnay and was charged $12.79 which is outrageous. Our salads were good. Salad, wine, tax and tip was a $34 lunch Won't be returning! read more

We stopped here for lunch on the way south. The food was good, the service also. The Dr. Pepper was flat, but they fixed it. We also had the impossible burger...which Joe calls, "The impossible to eat" burger. Conveniently near I-57. I give it one thumbs up. read more

I was very disappointed in my experience here. We were walked past 3 dirty tables on our way to our seats. Tables with each and every plate still sitting out. Not a single item was pre-bussed or touched. Then we were seated with this view. Talk about disgusting! The entire time we were at this restaurant no one bothered to clean up what looked like a dirty break room. But this was IN THE RESTAURANT right next to where we were seated. If the seating area that the public sees was this gross, I can only imagine how nasty the kitchen was! I even decided to wait and use the bathroom at the nearby target knowing it would be cleaner. I haven't eaten here in years, and won't be back anytime soon, which is unfortunate because I like the menu. read more

TGI Fridays - Corner booth for employees?? Shoe and all. - American Near Me - Bourbonnais, Illinois

Gave it one star as there nothing lower. Stopped in for a drink recently and I had a lime that was obviously spoiled. When I asked the bartender about it, she just replied "all of limes are like that". To which I replied, "why would you serve it?" She shrugged. Stay away from this place unless you want to play food poisoning roulette. Guess what, this place will not get another visit. read more

Went for lunch at about 1PM today. There was ONE young lady working!! She was having to play hostess, bartender, waitress, and I wouldn't doubt sous/head chef too!! 2 couples in front of us also walked out since she didn't have time to seat anyone! Who schedules ONE person for a lunch?!?!? Not even a manager in sight helping, unless they were stuck in the kitchen! Totally ridiculous! I feel sorry for the young lady. She doesn't make enough having to be the ONLY employee in the building! Until they hire people who show up to work,, expect long waits... read more

Prices are absolutely nuts for what essentially tastes like something from a cheap, low-grade dive restaurant - and at such small portions, at that. Boneless wings were fine but potato skins tasted and felt like something you could microwave from the freezer section at Wal-Mart. And only 4 choices for unlimited appetizers is just crazy. The red velvet cake shake was one of the worst desserts I've ever had, how do you mess up a milkshake let alone this bad? Was at least half water, tasted very freezer burnt almost - felt like trying to slurp up a bad carnival sno-cone. Used to come here a lot with friends - prices, selection, and quality used to be SO much better. read more

T.G.I. Friday's has been around for a while, This location has been remodeled to their new decore, with a cleaner less cluttered look. Nice menu, good food, the service was good and friendly on my visit. Dining room was not overly loud from conversation and the background music was at a low level. There are a couple of televisions in the dining room, I find them to be a distraction during a meal out. Plenty of parking and easy access to I-57 read more

The worst food ever. Waste of time and money. Grandchilds fried shrimp still had the shell on them . She said it tasted funny and couldn't eat it so pulled breading off one , and sure enough was not shelled. And it was rubbery. Definately overcooked. My son had steak and threw up in bathroom before we left. read more

Sitting at the bar. Bartender is working his ass off covering 7 or 8 tables around the bar. Ordered fish and chips. Took at least a half hour and it was not very hot. Picture is what you get for $15. I would have been better off with a McDonald's filet o fish. read more

TGI Fridays - Garbage - American Near Me - Bourbonnais, Illinois

OMG!!! I am beyond stunned at the service at this location. The manager Pam Evans was abdominal! The service by Nick was perfect. Our appetizer was served by Pam Evans (the manager). When I asked for silverware (keep in mind no plates were deliver at this time), she said "They're right there...leaning against the left (wall side of the booth). My response, "oh sorry." We ordered our meal. I ordered the Flat Iron Steak, medium rare. It arrived well done. Nick, apologized and took it back. He re-served it and it was "RAW"! Pam appeared and was EXTREMELY CONFONTATIONAL. She engaged the customers in the booth behind us and said, "can you believe this, Karen?" she said she didn't have silverware, when she did. She asked me what I wanted her do with regard to the bill. When I said when we should only pay. $50 of the$80 she threatened to call the police. My only regret is that I did not record this confrontation and allow her to call the police. In our 60+ years of food service have we ever had such a horrific experience. My husband and I are retired TV Producers and Police/FBI Academy graduateS! BTW....our server Nick apologized for the quality of the food only to be interrupted by Pam calling us "Karen's" read more

The worst restaurant in this chain is an apt description. Maybe it's the town, but the mood among the bar staff and the waiters that congregate around it is negative and disinterested to say the least. Every visit here is a crap shoot. I have probably dined here 6-7 times over the last 10 months (very limited dining options in this area), and I'm happy to say that tonight will be my last. read more

Friday's is Friday's no matter where you are so no need to review the menu. I have the Salmon and lobster plate and it was cooked perfectly. The service was good, we were a large group and the waitress handled our crazy family just fine, lol Bathroom was clean and well kept. My only complaint is that the bar drinks were rather weak. I finally asked for a short glass Crown & Coke one that I could taste the Whisky and I received what I asked for. If you are in the mood for TGIF then you won't be disappointed with this particular location. read more

Always love TGI Fridays. Love their food. Friendly, attentive servers! Great place! Highly recommend!

Some of the best burgers, ribs, steak and sweet potato fries money's can buy and when they do endless apps I'm in it!

Always been good and consistent. Dennis is a great bartender and Peyton is such an amazing hostess. read more

TGI Fridays - a menu on a table - American Near Me - Bourbonnais, Illinois

We lunched at Fridays all the time because we loved the Ceaser Salad and Macaroni and cheese deal. The Mac and cheese had a delicious crunchy topping and eating it was a real treat, but now, wouldn't you know, they just HAD TO CHANGE THE RECIPE and now it tastes crumby, cheap and tastless. How could they do that? Bring it Back The Way It Was and we'll be back. read more

Would of given this a 4 star rating but there seem to be a problem with the hostess seating people at tables. Tables were empty and did not get seated for 20 minuets. She took are names and 20 minuets latter we were seated at the table that was empty when we first arrived. The waiter gave great service . The steaks were tender and good flavor. We had to ask for the 2 for $22.00 menu specials. read more

Nice polite service and consistent with the standard set by TGI Fridays. Everyone I ate with got grilled chicken of some sort and as a server myself I know that grilled chicken can slow down a kitchen if things went running smoothly. Everything came out pretty quickly and very well cooked. Our server... I feel bad that I can't remember his name (Brandon maybe?) was great and very sociable. 2 thumbs up for this one! read more

Excellent customer service... Have them sing for your birthday! You won't regret it!

If there was a negative stars this place would most definitely get that service was horrible, food was not good at all (cold, unappealing), server probably could have had a not so bitchy attitude. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant and I probably would not bring my dog here and he eats shit for everyday. read more

Love the staff here! My mother-in-law left her purse here, and they made sure to keep it safe. Coming from a marketing event, there was a lot of open cash, but they had such great integrity and every dollar was accounted for. Ribs were great, too! read more

Typical TGIF restaurant. Service is fantastic. Menu is large with all different things to choose from.

Always quick servuce even when packed...lots of folks running around fetching yummy gastropub quality foods. Awesome juicy turkey burger...fries with their own spices profile. Very yummy. Drinks cost on the premium side but were very good. Starters were the best...I could see coming here to just nosh apps and socialize even when not hungry. The key here I think is they have the consistency of a McDonalds...but you know....good. read more

The workers are aware that the Beyond burger is for vegetarians/vegans right? So tell me why the evening cooks working 10/29/2019thought it would be funny to put a large piece of bacon right in the middle of my plate for NO reason? Nobody else at our table even had anything with bacon on it. This is nasty af whether it was intentional or not. read more

I know about the unhealthy reputation of this restaurant....but it has some flavorful food (like any Fridays anywhere). The servers at this location, however, are what makes you wanna come back! Very friendly, caring, and quick. read more

Mac and cheese was really good. Had the Philly burger also really good. Staff was slow today. A bit distracted. Forgot salad, had to ask for silverware. Table not picked up after done. Probably an off night...... :/ maybe Highlight .... Oreo madness!!!!!!! read more

Always have outstanding service from here. Food is always good and hot. It's a chain so you pretty much can make your own assumption!

I was excited when they joined uber eats and then they were never available to order. A little disappointed, but Applebee's is available in town now for uber. Please go online again. It's too cold outside read more

Went for late lunch and waited forever to get meal servered. Ordered endless appetizers which also took a long time to come out and waiter never came back to check on us. Had to wave the hostess over to get a second order. Food was alright when it finally got out but did not expect to spend an hour and half for lunch. read more

First off why do I have to give even one star? Empty tables all over and no one being seated. Waited about 15 minutes and left. If you don't want my money put a sign on the door saying we are inept eat elsewhere. read more

Just your average Friday's. This is one of the better locations, though. The service and the food is both pretty good. Super yummy appetizers read more

Went to dine in tonight, seated immediately, server didn't come, after 20 mins we had to leave. No reason to not even come take a drink order within that time. Ridiculous. Not even busy at 10 pm read more

Stopped for dinner with my husband after shopping. Waited 40 minutes for our food. Asked the waitress what was taking so long and she could not give us an answer. She sent the manager over and he was disinterested. The utensils were dirty also. The quesadillas were soggy. Will not go back. read more

I had a really good dinner tonight, started with a bowl of Cheddar Broccoli soup(was delicious), then got the Sizzling Chicken and Mashed Potatoes. Very generous portions and tasty. Wife started with a very nice looking salad, the got a full slab of the Jack Daniels Ribs and Mashed Potatoes. She was very happy with her meal too. Our server was very polite and checked on us frequently. A very beautiful young lady named Ashley. read more

I have been to this Fridays a couple of times, After the first time i never wanted to go back but cannot argue with the wife when it comes to going out to dinner. This last experience really was the last straw..... I ordered the Ribeye and ribs , $24 meal.... wife ordered a salad and my daughter had ribs as well. Service was ok i guess but food was terrible , The ribeye was 1/3 fat.... they claim its 10 ounces but i beg to differ, i ask the server if it was normal for the steak to have that much fat and she said i don't know and walked away, the "So called" so tender the meat will fall off the bone ribs we just as much of a joke, my 10 year old that loves ribs and have had many in her short time eating even disliked them. We have been in this area for just over three years and have come to realize that Olive garden and Lone Star are the only places to eat on that side of town. Will not be back to this Fridays period read more

We went to celebrate a birthday. Service was very slow, many empty tables that needed to be cleaned off as people were waiting to be seated. They brought soup and appetizers together, and many wait staff were visiting with customers. 3 people behind bar and it took 20 minutes to get a bottle of beer. This place is unpredictable, sometimes good and sometimes very bad. read more
