    I haven't been to TGI Fridays in years but found myself at this location at DFW Terminal E needing a gluten free dinner. They have some gluten free options and their menu is labeled. I ordered a burger on a gluten free bun and a side salad instead of the fries it comes with. I was able to sit right away and got my food fairly quickly. Paying is all online, you just scan the QR code on the table. It was pretty full inside and the staff were nice.

    While recently traveling through DFW Airport, I had a layover long enough to finally sit down for a "proper" dinner. Since I usually fly nonstop, this was a rare treat. After checking out the options near my gate, I spotted TGI Fridays. I hadn't eaten at one in ages (there aren't any where I live now), so I was genuinely excited. I was seated right away, and within moments my server came by with a friendly greeting. It was very clean, had a bright energetic vibe and there were several people both dining in and sitting at the bar. After ordering a drink, I quickly decided on the best of both worlds: Whiskey-Glazed Ribs and Crispy Shrimp. I've always loved their signature whiskey glaze, but I'd never tried it on ribs before. The food arrived shockingly fast--so quick I was honestly stunned--and it was fantastic. The ribs were tender, the shrimp perfectly crispy, and that glaze was just as good as I remembered. What impressed me most was the efficiency: from the time I sat down to finishing my meal, it was maybe 30 minutes total. For an airport sit-down dinner, that balance of speed and quality was exactly what I needed. Well done, TGI Fridays at DFW--you turned my layover into a surprisingly delightful dining experience.

    Potatoes

    Great service! Quick service. Breakfast was pretty good. I liked the potatoes a lot. French toast was good but just a little eggy if that makes sense. Place could've been a little cleaner.

    The service was great, and I loved my beyond burger (no cheese or sauce, add jalapeños, avocado, and mustard) and no salt fries! My only gripe was that my original water glass was dirty and I didn't notice at first.

    ROYAL LIT with sprite, please drink with a straw ^^

    Great stress relieving area when you're stressed about your flight zones and also areas, please seek out for Allison, she's back at terminal E! Allison is a hero; she will listen, & under stand what you've been through; she also had her belongings confiscated, & she works here in the Dallas Worth nothing, but steals peoples brand new perfumes, and face creams. The security for men here are terrible tor security check in; they would revoke my brand new unopened perfume from dolce & gabbana and Chanel than throw away shampoo and conditioner which was the same size. Which doesn't make sense; are they broke and they need to steal other women products to give to their wives? Quite embarrassing; though many guests and employees here also agree and feel the same way. Yummy light Cesar side salad with avocado She's precious and absolutely adorable! I bet you cannot out drink her!

    Heinz is the only acceptable ketchup!

    Terminal E location: Terrific in every way. Lovely, bright and constantly kept up to remain clean. They handle thousands of people and yet I might of well been the hostess' neighbor with her warm greeting and obvious effort to have me seated as quickly as possible. Thereafter, my server was equally as efficient and kind. The food is typical Americana and true to the brand. I will forever embrace the Caesar salad and whiskey glazed chicken strips. Not healthy but yummy and vacation food doesn't have calories! This is a safe and enjoyable choice enroute to your gate.

    Queso dip
    Joshua P.

    A good place to grub and kill some time. Really busy and had to wait for our stuff, but our server was sweet. Our queso dip came out cold... had to wait for a different one, but at least the server was on it! Pricing wasn't too bad for an airport! Set your expectations to mid level food and your expectations will be met.

    I stopped by this location at terminal E. I sat at the bar and waited a while for any service. I finally got a menu and ordered a beer. I then ordered the salmon with a salad. Well everything came out the same time. I. Asked the server why I did not get my salad first. She said "my bad". WTF???!!!??? Really. My bad is it. What a scum bag server to reply to any issue like that. I guess good help is bad here. The manager should be ashamed of his training of his personal. The place was not clean either. I had to ask the bar tender if he would clean the counter before my food came out. The whole visit was bad and worth no stars. I left the minimal due to the bad service and servers attitude. Go somewhere else. There is a good location in B terminal. Try that one instead of this lousy managed mess. To are are that bad

    Half rack of ribs with fries and Cole slaw
    Lawrence L.

    Considering that it technically falls under airport food, I was impressed! We had a huge party with our flight leaving soonish and they got us in and out super quick! As always, I get their ribs and they don't disappoint. At least at this location they had some pretty good deals and new menu items I hadn't seen before. Wish we had one of these around. The last one I went to closed in Provo.

    Bucket of Bones
    Anthony G.

    I was in the Dallas Airport around lunch time and had a long day of flying ahead of me. I had also two hours before my flight, so I decided to get some food. I noticed there was a TGI Fridays relatively near to my terminal, so decided to go. It had been years since I had been into one, and I used to go to them frequently when I was in high school and undergrad. So it was a nostalgia trip for me. There was no wait to be sat at a table. The waitress got my drink order immediately which was just some soda. The place is comfortable and has plenty of TVs to watch sports. I ordered the "bucket of bones", which has ribs and buffalo wings with a side of fries. Eating the food, reminded me exactly of my prior experiences in Fridays when I was younger! Loved the food! Delicious! Especially considering it was in an airport and usually airport food is awful. The service was also excellent. My waitress was friendly. She even got me a soda to go. If you're in Dallas airport, check out Fridays!

    The service was great, and the food was delicious. I was surprised the staff recommended food, I just went in for coffee before my flight. It hit the spot, since I only had chips and coffee on the plane. Everything happens for a reason

    The garlicbutter broccoli was anything  butt It was basic steamed there was a no garlic  bland and had to be salted and peppered to death

    Taylor at Rowdy Cowboy is exactly what great service is supposed to look like. She's sharp,…read morequick-witted, and actually pays attention to what's going on around her--something that clearly isn't consistent across the rest of the floor. While other servers seemed more focused on socializing with regulars than doing their jobs, Taylor stood out immediately. She stayed engaged, checked in at the right times, and made sure everything was handled without needing to be asked twice. That's not luck--that's professionalism. She brings a mix of intelligence and humor that makes the experience better without being forced or over the top. More importantly, she executes. Orders are right, timing is right, and the overall experience feels intentional--not neglected. If you're going to Rowdy Cowboy, don't leave it to chance. Ask for Taylor by name. She's an asset to that place, and based on what I saw, she's setting a standard others there aren't meeting

My Overall Rating - 3 1/2 Stars (5 Stars if you only care about service) Atmosphere - It's pretty electric. There is a large bar in the middle, tons of bar seating, and during my Thursday visit for lunch, it was packed. The vibes are good, and tons of TVs are showing sports. If you have an XY chromosome, this is your place. 1 Star. Service - Rowdy Cowboy is known for having great servers who are very friendly (and nice to look at). All tables were taken, so I sat at the bar. The bartenders were fast, efficient, and very friendly. They got my order wrong, but I don't care. Their friendliness made me not care. 1 Star. Food - Look, if you're here, you're not here for the food. I started with the Steak Frites. The steak was super tender but lacked seasoning. The shoestring fries were awesome and made the perfect pairing to the steak. I ordered the Brisket Sliders but ended up with Wagyu Sliders. I didn't mind because our bartenders were so friendly, but the sliders were just ok. Remember, this place is not known for the food. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Rowdy Cowboy knows exactly what it does well, and believe me it does it well. In fact, out of all the restaurants in this genre, Rowdy Cowboy has the friendliest staff. Yes, I will be back. 1 Star.

DFW is massive. My friend was 30 mins late, but I wasn't trippin. I used that time to charge my phone and get a little work done. We didn't have a resy, but were seated right away. First of all, this place is massive. We both started with the espresso martini before realizing they had a happy hour menu. Our second drink was from the hh menu even though we had no business having a second cocktail. To start, we shared the fried green tomatoes. For whatever reason, we both ended up getting the western burger. Food was great. There was so much of it that I was only able to finish half and ended up taking the rest home. Great service as well. The place was crowded by the time we left. We only planned to stay for 45 minutes, but ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. Big thanks to the bartender.

Clearly a popular spot. We shared an appetizer, a steak, sides, and a dessert between us 3. - Fried Tomatoes (appetizer): not bad! Light, not greasy at all, and that savory sauce on top was yummy: - Wagyu Tomahawk: the star of the show. Loved the peppered crust which was full of flavor. Not a true "Japanese wagyu" texture, but still an excellent steak overall. - Sides (mashed potatoes, fries, broccolini, cornbread): All pretty good across the board. I liked the cornbread the most and wished there was more of it. Usually a side of cornbread is much more substantial and comes with honey butter. - Steak sauce: we ask for a side of this. Whatever they had was unique and great. Fruity and tangy, a great complement to the tomahawk. - Pecan Pie: look at the photo! A huge, tall slice. No notes. Loved the dense ice cream on top. Perfect way to end the meal. Overall: no critiques, just an all-around great dinner. Definitely recommend the tomahawk and pie.
