This was the worst place to eat. My order was wrong. The food was still frozen. The taste was so bad my dogs would not even eat it. I would never eat there again. I would not even let my worst enemy eat here. There was not one thing right about my order. It was over priced. The wait was over 2 hours. The servers were very rude. The manager was worse. The place over all was bad. I don't know how the place stays open. I would like to know why the parent company lets this represent them. If this how all of the tgifriday s are run how is it they are still open
