TGI Friday (I-25 and Woodman)

Last night I went to TGI Friday (I-25 and Woodman) for a financial seminar a Mensa friend of mine invited me to - the seminar was great, by the way - but since this is a restaurant review ... here we go!

The first time Mike and I went to TGI Friday (yes, the same one - about 5 years ago) - we were seated and then we waited and waited. Meanwhile, tables around us - full of folks who came in after us - were getting drinks and their orders were being taken and even delivered.  We were completely ignored.  We left and as we walked out the door, the manager asked how we enjoyed our visit. I replied that we were leaving because we couldn't get waited on and I told him what had happened.  Mike was at the car ready to leave, but the manager convinced us to come back in, be reseated in a different section - and he would comp our meals.  Right answer!  We ate dinner there that night - a good meal - but it wasn't high on the list. Still isn't our favorite choice, but if a bunch of people want to go there - we wouldn't object! (In fact, the Mensa group would meet there once a month to play Trivia - but we stopped because they wouldn't change the TVs from sports to Trivia.)

Last night - I found out they have a meeting room in the back you can use for free for events like this seminar or a meeting.  Nice!  Back to the meal - I ordered the Cobb salad - the greens were fresh, chicken done nicely, etc.  They did skimp a bit on the dressing. While the meal was good, I'd not make a special trip there for the Cobb salad - or probably for anything else. Again - if I was with a group, I wouldn't object to TGI Friday - but I wouldn't select it on my own.  Do again?  Only for a group activity where I didn't have much say in where we went!
