Friday's has a "Mango Mayhem" special they're running right now...$5 Absolut Mango Cocktails. I couldn't resist trying one, so at the server's recommendation, I ordered the "Go Go Mango" (strawberry, Cointreau, Absolut Mango Vodka, soda and sweet & sour) and it was FABULOUS!!!

We shared the Jack Daniels Sampler Appetizer and the Sesame Chicken Strips was my favorite, followed by the shrimp and the baby back ribs suprisingly came in last. They're usually better...at least when you order them in a meal.

We had an $8 coupon from TGI Friday's "Give Me More Stripes" program, so tonight we tried their California Grilled Chicken Sandwich and the Dragonfire Chicken, then shared a Red Velvet Cake for dessert (which neither one of us has ever tried before).

Service was pretty good, but the food was quite average...and none that I would really order again. The Jack Daniels Baby Back Ribs are MUCH better. :)

I tried Friday's Endless Lunch (soup, salad, breadsticks and drink for $6.99) today and it was hit and miss...with more hits than misses. Service was great, thanks to our attentive server Scott (and the bussers were efficient also) so they get 4 stars for service, value and the freshly baked breadsticks! :)

Tomato Basil Soup - Delicious, but I'd call it "Tomato" soup, as I didn't detect any basil at all...that's chopped parsley sprinkled on top.


Broccoli Cheese Soup - This was a bit watery for my liking and although the flavor was okay, I wouldn't order it again.


House Salad - A few bites of the wilted lettuce and the flavorless ranch dressing was about all I could take. Next time, I'm going to try the Caesar Salad!


Breadsticks - When they're freshly baked, these breadsticks are delightfully heavenly! I didn't eat "all-I-can-eat" but I was tempted to.


California Club Sandwich ($7.29) - I was told by the hubby that this was a lot tastier than it looks!

Taking advantage of Friday's "Buy One Entree, Get One Free" coupon (sent to Give Me More Stripes members), we've come to love their Jack Daniel's Glazed Ribs with sweet potato fries.

For the most part, the ribs have been really good, tender and fall-off-the-bone...but a couple of times (when we came here past 9pm) they've been pretty dry. We've had wonderful service from Sara, Brian H. and Zachary...but have had not-so-good service from Angelica and Jayda.







Jack Daniel's Glazed Ribs $17.99 (sweet potato fries, add $1.29)

I'm being quite generous giving T.G.I. Friday's a 4-star rating...mostly due to their improvement since the last time I dined there a couple of years ago! Annya provided such friendly service during tonight's visit that it made me forget the marginal service I've experienced there in the past. The Jack Daniels Ribs could be more tender, but perhaps they got dried out since we were late diners.
