Karrie was amazing made my night amazing. super nice. She treated us all amazing and deserves the world

I came in with a large group for my friend's birthday. All of the staff was friendly and accommodating. Our waitress Carrie was an amazing host. She was very kind, attentive, and funny. She made sure that we had everything we needed and went above and beyond for us. She kept our party entertained and it was very clear that she loved what she does. It is not very often that you find someone as engaging as her at restaurants now a days. The food was good and what you would expect from an American chain restaurant. We mainly had finger foods and drinks. We had a nice time and I would go back again. read more

Wait time wasn't terrible for a Sunday afternoon, so for that at least, we were grateful. The front of the house host was also very friendly. We saw an online ad for their $10 Endless Apps and thought why not. We get seated and immediately find out that the ad was super outdated and they haven't offered this promotion in a very long time, which was pretty disappointing. What we ended up ordering a la carte were two sets of traditional wings, fries, and chips & salsa. The food was okay and affordable for the portion we received, but nothing to write home about. The wing quality was also a little on the soggy and skimp side. read more

We waited 20 minutes to get the check and 1 to go box after asking for the waitress for it, she left to the back. Husband asked hostess for the check, as the waitress didn't come back. She went to look for the waitress in the back and got back to the front. We waited for another 10 minutes. I went a second time to the hostess and asked to speak with the manager, she said i'm the manager! I explained we had been waiting for 20 minutes for a box and the check!! Waitress came from the back, she said sorry there was an error in your bill and I was in the back WITH the manager fixing your bill. The food was great! But we won't be coming back! read more

We came into TGIF on a Tuesday evening to grab a quick dinner before catching a movie at AMC. We actually came to TGIF because BJs next door was super busy, I'm assuming because of St. Patrick's Day? TGIF turned out to also be quite busy, or at least very understaffed, as they weren't using about 30%+ of the tables in the restaurant. We needed to eat quickly, so we sat at the high tables in the bar which were open. It turned out the entire bar area was being ran by one bartender who was working on drinks, restaurant orders, waiting, and some bussing as well. As such, while she was very friendly and helpful, it was very difficult to order or communicate anything to restaurant staff. We ordered a spinach artichoke dip to share, which was fairly good bar the kind of stale chips. We each also got a chicken sandwich meal deal, and one beer that was shockingly flat. The chicken sandwiches, while seemingly prepared fresh, seemed to be of very low quality, reminiscent of school lunches. It was also sauced with a portion that was barely noticeable. However, our situation made it a bit difficult to ask for any sauce or anything extra, and we felt bad bothering the bartender who already had to wait on our table, so we paid and left. I hadn't been to TGI Fridays in several years and while it hasn't been necessarily known for having the most amazing food, I also don't remember the experience being as bad as ours was. Maybe things would go better on another day. read more

TGI Fridays North Orange - Soy Sauce Tray - American Near Me - Orange, California

We received a gift card to this chain restaurant and hadn't been to one in a number of years. We were seated prompty, but our server, sorry do not know her name, was quite busy. She did say I'll be back in a minute. Finally came back and said we wanted two Gin & Tonics for the Happy Hour price as we had waited 10 minutes. She said no problem, we figured we better also order our food. I really wanted a steak with the Whiskey glaze but they were too large. So I ordered the bacon, cheese Whiskey burger with onion rings. My husband ordered a sandwich with pork rib meat and fries. The food came before the G&T's, which were on for the price. Our food was fine, but nothing special except I loved the sauce. I asked about purchasing some but $32, no thank you. It was very loud, kids, young adults, guess I wanted a place quieter. Great for large groups but not very intimate. read more

Over all it was a decent experience, just maybe not what you would expect. Decided to try out a steak because I'm trying but to eat too many carbs... But my steak was cooked decent. Maybe if the played were not so big, the steak wouldn't look so small, but it was fine. Although my friends burger looked really good. And we had really good service. The service was very prompt, pleasant and considerate. Second alone was worth going back. Just might not get the steak nice time, although it tasted great. Enjoy read more

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant on 6/20/26 after a concert. We were seated very quickly, but our service was below satisfactory. Our server, Nancy, was very dismissive and didn't seem to take much care when checking on our meal. She did not make eye contact with either me or my boyfriend, and forgot to bring our waters after asking twice. A different server brought our food and waters. Once the check came, we decided to still leave a tip even after feeling unsatisfied with our service. My boyfriend took a picture of the receipt in case there was an up change afterwards, which he does at all restaurants, and unfortunately there was a $93.58 up charge on his card. We were very disappointed to not only receive horrible service, but to then have to dispute this with the bank. read more

How does it take THIRTY MINUTES for a chicken sandwich on an empty lunch room, and then ghosting someone waiting for their bill, and then YELLING that you need to tip? Awful service. read more

I met a friend here for lunch. It's located at the Outlets at Orange so there is plenty of parking. I was surprised at how good my meal was and impressed by the exemplary service provided by Corbin. I ordered off their special Christmas season menu. For my entree I got the Christmas Tree-O which consisted of two sliders, 8 boneless wings, loaded tots, and fries. For a beverage I went with the Cherry Cream Cola which was basically a cherry Coke with whipped cream & a cherry on top (fantastic!). The sliders had melted cheese, pickles, and sauce on them and the beef patties were very flavorful. I really loved the sliders. The boneless wings were good but too heavy on the coating. The loaded tots were excellent, very cheesy. I'm not sure what else was on them but they were yummy. I barely touched the fries which were just standard, no-nonsense fries. After the tots I was over having any more potatoes. As these were special seasonal items I'm doubtful they will be seen again after winter 2025 but it was a great plate that I truly enjoyed. read more

It's been a long time since I've dined here, and coming back definitely brought a little nostalgia. The menu has changed since my last visit. I didn't see any of the Jack Daniels items that used to be on the menu. We ordered the Cobb Salad and the Whiskey Glazed Burger, and both were pretty good overall. The only surprise was the burger itself didn't really have much of a whiskey flavor. Instead, the whiskey taste came from a sauce served on the side, which felt a little odd. I was expecting the patty itself to carry more of that flavor. The restaurant was still decorated nicely for the holidays, which added a festive touch. We chose to sit at the bar instead of waiting for a table and were glad we did - it was much less busy and made for a more relaxed experience. read more

We haven't been to a TGI Fridays since the one in Costa Mesa near SCP closed down. This one is located in the Outlets at Orange between BJ's and Krispy Kreme. Since T-Mobile was offering a free app with $5 purchase (dine on only), we decided to stop by. The restaurant was busy and first available was in the bar area which we opted for at a high top table. Fifteen meetings after placing our order with the bartender, the bar area got busier. He was making drinks and taking food orders by himself so we didn't expect him to check in on us. For our free app (up to $17.99), we got the Garlic Parmesan Traditional Wings (8) with blue cheese dressing. The wings were ok but the dressing did not taste like blue cheese. Overall, we agreed that we haven't missed much here. The food is pretty standard and didn't particularly impress us to visit again. read more

I usually eat at the bar and it's pretty awesome. The bartenders are friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. The food is not incredible but good enough for me to keep on going back every few months. read more

The serving that I received for almost $20 looks nearly half the number of pieces on the menu photo. I would never would have paid $20 for this tiny serving! I had already decided to "splurge" by ordering this because there is no longer a TGI Friday close to where I live and I remember how good Jack Daniels sauce was and kind of a nod to my late son to treat myself with Mother's Day coming up. Anyway at least it still tasted pretty good but this will be the last time I will be coming to TGIF even if I am nearby. Also... in addition to the exorbitant price for the minuscule serving, there was a dollar service charge on my receipt for what I don't know. I ordered online to pick up so it would be ready when I arrived as my time was limited. it said they would be open at 10:30 but when I arrived at 10:51 the doors were locked. When I was let in, I was told it says 1030 online but they open at 11. I also noticed the dollar Service charge on my receipt. I didn't notice that when I placed the order online but it may have been on there. I wasn't searching for extra fees and just attributed it to Tax and tip. So just beware when putting online and don't expect to get what you see presented. read more

TGI Fridays North Orange - Whiskey- Glazed Sesame Chicken Bites $17.39 - American Near Me - Orange, California

Disappointed with our recent visit. The kids' butter pasta came out looking extremely dry and unappetizing, and overall the food took forever to arrive even though the restaurant didn't seem busy at all. When the food finally came, the taste was very bland and lacked flavor. For a place like TGI Fridays, we expected much better quality and faster service. Unfortunately, this visit didn't meet expectations. Our sever Daisy was very apologetic about the long wait for the food. A huge plus for Daisy. read more

Decided to check out their happy hour because we didn't feel like waiting to get seated at BJ's .. never again. Parking was plentiful and our toddler loved the Christmas decorations. We only had a few minutes left before happy hour was over so tried to order some things before it was over .. the first bartender was not helpful and told us to get seated. The second (blonde?) bartender was much nicer and let us order and grab our drinks in time. Our waitress was pleasant but super forgetful; think she had all the tables and was trying not to get overwhelmed. For example, we had to remind her of our toddler's drink three times before she brought it out. Food was not memorable - think we got some type of fried appetizer platter (sliders were good!) & pasta that was bland. We haven't been to Friday's in forever .. and we don't need to go back anytime soon. read more

Came in on a weekday for lunch. I waited way too long to receive my food and to get my check. Took over an hour. I was only a party of 1 and ordered a chicken sandwich. Also, the waitress was so rude when she came back with my check. Not sure why, I didn't ask her for anything.m or bother her at any time during my visit. Don't find this behavior to be acceptable. read more

love this place for drinks and bites! Dalia & Nancy at the bar are the most welcoming and hardworking bartenders we've had the pleasure to be served by! When not at the bar, Alyssa is our server and she's just the best server here! top 3 employees here, they deserve a raise!! will keep coming back only for these girls!! read more

Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish! The food was outstanding and clearly made with care and attention to detail. The potato skins were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, generously loaded with melted cheese and savory bacon, and paired with a cool, creamy dip that balanced every bite beautifully. Comfort food at its finest. And the wings--wow. Sticky, glossy, and packed with flavor, they were cooked to perfection with tender meat that fell right off the bone. The sauce was the perfect mix of sweet and savory, finished with a light sprinkle of sesame seeds that added just the right touch. Every bite was finger-licking good and the ranch dipping sauce was AMAZING! On top of the amazing food, the service truly elevated the experience. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming--everything arrived hot, fresh, and right on time. You could tell the staff cared about making sure we had a great meal, and that made all the difference. I do have to give a shout out to Dahlia at the bar who served me, she was so s sweet and gave me beyond amazing service. Thank you! This is the kind of place that keeps you thinking about the food long after you've left. Incredible dishes, excellent service, and an all-around fantastic experience. I'll absolutely be back! read more

I used to come to this restaurant all the time. There have been some changes with the menu and the way their items are now made. The food is good, but I wish the menu was bigger. The whisky glaze makes the meal. If you're getting an entree, definitely get something with that glaze, and get extra on the side so you can dip or pour it over everything else. Yes it's that good! There is a rewards app that you can sign up for to earn points, which I did, and is definitely worth it. You get a free appitizer with entree purchases as a welcome deal, and a free treat on your birthday! read more

Came in for dinner after spending the day at Disneyland. Served was great and food was ok but they blasted music the whole time so loud that I couldn't even talk to my wife across the table. Basically I guess TGI Fridays is out as our place to eat. read more

I ordered the Spinach Artichoke dip with chips and salsa. Their Spin Dip is good enough to have as my entree. I didn't want to eat too heavy that late at night. I did try a bite of the Pretzel Bites with the cheese sauce it came with and it was surprisingly yummy! The Pretzel Bites are light on the inside and thinly crisp on the outside; with the perfect amount of salt on them. The dip that came with them is even more satisfying. After that I figured why not try a mozzarella fried bite? They are served hot with cheese oozing out of them turning into the perfect extreme long cheesy bite you want. I had my fork in everyone's plate by then. So, I ended up eating a piece of shrimp and bell pepper with cheese from the Chicken and Shrimp Sizzling Skillet. The seasoning on the shrimp was great. I scraped off some of the sauce It came with because I really wanted to taste the flavor of the shrimp and cheese with bell pepper. Delicious and sizzling. As it should be. Our waitress last night made sure she passed by the table several times to make sure our needs were meet. I appreciate that. Job well done. She did it so well that I ordered a Shrimp Salad to go. She was busy and moving fast past our table. However, she made eye contact every time and stopped when we needed her. I only took away one star because the salsa was store bought pace picante sauce. This is OC, CA. I expect fresh salsa. Also, the booth we were seated in wasn't clean. I had to flag down the gentleman that seated us and ask if he would wipe off the booths seats. read more

Came here with my family and honestly had a mixed experience. The food was actually good, but the service really disappointed us. We were first seated in a booth and asked for a high chair for our child. After waiting about 15 minutes, they told us the high chair was blocking the way, so we had to move tables ourselves. Our server barely checked on us the whole time, we never got drink refills, and the manager Antonio walked by our table multiple times without once asking how everything was. Good food, but the customer service definitely needs improvement. 2/5 read more

Real talk, even though I live within 5 miles,, I hadn't been to this Friday's in years due to abysmal service and woefully lacking food. Yesterday, after an evening visit to the Outlets, my family and I gave it another shot. The experience was like a different restaurant. Most noteworthy: Our server, Carrie, was exceptional. She gave amazing suggestions, and the food was good. Her friendly attentiveness was refreshing, and even though she was busy, she still made time to listen to my grade school daughters tell stories about what they like and make sure they had everything they needed. We weren't even planning on staying for dessert (we were going to grab something at the main part of the Outlets), but her recommendations had been spot on already, so we stayed and weren't disappointed. When we left, we told her we'd definitely return and ask for her as a server (I hope that didn't scare her, ha!). Seriously, it was a good night. We came hangry and left pretty happy. Thanks again. read more

I had a giftcard for TGIF which is mainly why I went. The food was good, but the presentation was lacking and there weren't that many deals. Honestly speaking, the prices they were charging on the menu did not match up with the expectations for quality or portion size. It didn't make sense to me. The service and our server was excellent though, which makes my rating higher. I would not come back to a TGI Fridays because of this. read more

The food was edible but was it worth $15? Meh. I was surprised at how crowded it was considering it was a Thursday evening but the service was SLOW regardless. While we were there, noise levels were not unbearable which allowed us to still converse at our table. I think this place would get another visit from me after a year has passed and I forgot how slow the service was. read more

I haven't been to a TGI in probably 10 years, thought they all closed. My fiancé mentioned it and we saw they are still open so we came over. There was a short wait but we were seated very quickly in Carrie's section. Carrie was fantastic from the second we sat down, she brought us waters and let us know she was a catching up and would be right back. She came back and informed us about the Happy Hour deals and took our drink order. Carrie came back quickly with drinks and took our food order. We got several apps and our meals and I have to say we were very pleased with all the items. Carrie checked on us several times throughout our meal and brought us containers for our leftovers. Next time we come by for dinner we will definitely be requesting Carrie's section! Thanks so much for the delicious meal, see you again soon. read more

This place is as good as I remeber. But what makes it the best is a server named Phoenix. She is so friendly and warm. She is great at customer service. As long as she is here I will be back. Give this girl a raise ! read more

We stopped in for some last-minute drinks and an appetizer before our movie, but Nancy ended up being the highlight of our night. She has the BEST energy--so fun, welcoming, and just an absolute joy to be around. We had such a great time chatting with her that we actually went back to the bar after the movie just to tell her how it was and keep the night going. That's how much we loved her! She had us laughing nonstop, and it felt so easy to connect with her. We bonded over food, drinks, and swapping personal stories--it didn't feel like the typical restaurant transactional exchange at all, just genuinely good vibes. Nancy is truly a gem in the hospitality world. We'll 100% be back, and it's because of her. If you get the chance to sit at her bar, DO IT--you won't regret it. Thank you for an amazing night -Splash Zone Girls read more

Drink where great, food was goods, but the service, gotta be a real crime that this girl is taking up a server spot, that a busser or runner are trying to earn, Nancy as I saw on bill, was disappointment, never check up, didn't get waters. I ask for a drink which was classic marg, got a Long Island , fails the basic of serving. It crazy to see this as experience server to fail this bad, drop a big zero on the tip, and gave the busser a tip instead , for getting me a box and asking if I wanted the check, I'll be back, I'll just ask to not seat with Nancy tables, just a quick check can go long way. Way to give server in general a bad rep,fyi I never leave reviews, don't even know Nancy is her real name, she never introduced herself. read more

Our server Carrie, was the absolute best! She is friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome despite us arriving near closing time. The food is awesome, so yummy! Carrie's service took our experience over the top and we will be back thanks to her. Atmosphere is very cool. Love the music they were playing. Thank you Carrie for everything! read more

We came in with a large party an hour before closing and Carrie locked in and served us like crazy. She was super polite and courteous. I would trade my cousin whom I was eating with for a human like Carrie, our wonderful server. The bar layout made the trip to the bathroom feel so warm and cozy. Our food came out almost immediately after we ordered and the presentation was wonderful. Carrie was amazing and I would come back just to be served by her again. read more

My mom treated me at this location about 2 weeks ago and as soon as we entered we felt as if we entered Santa's village! It was super decked out full of jolly spirit! I absolutely loved it since Christmas is my favorite holiday! I ordered my usual Cajun chicken pasta since it's always very delicious and I also ordered a holiday treat from the menu. My hot cocoa came in a super cute Santa cup, marshmallows, candy cane and warm cookies that melt with every bite, will definitely come again before the theme is removed.

Party of 7 on a Saturday night... PERFECT service! This was BY FAR the BEST dining experience I've had since before Covid. Jessica, the hostess was immediately warm and welcoming and got our table asap. Jesus, our server, was attentive, immediately came out, was always asking if we needed anything else and remembered everything we asked for. He is a STELLAR waiter. I LOVE that they use good old fashioned paper and pen to take our order. There's no dumb QR code "menu". We got real, tangible menus to look at. THANK YOU! The chefs cooked everything to PERFECTION and got every order correct! Even the modified ones! Kudos and MAJOR props to the manager, Jaime. He is doing something right. Each employe that night really did a wonderful job. I will be going back even though it's a few cities away. Service like this is almost impossible to find. Well done! read more

The food is a good value but definitely steer clear of the aloha chicken bowl. I think the rice was either super undercooked, frozen, or both. The dish is served cold but the rice was kind of hard and clumped together. The garlic Parmesan on the boneless wings was sparse. It was cute inside with all the Christmas decor and our server was great. read more
