Best WLM Reviews

Food was great. Plenty of room to sit at 3pm on a Sunday. Service was good. Plenty of room inside, even for large groups.
Good prices. Could be decent to bring kids for dinner. Comfortable seating. Tables and booths + bar area.
Great spinach and artichoke dip!!
It had been years since I've been to a TGIF. What brought me back was a giftcard we found laying around the house. So the the thought of a free dinner we decided to go use it. In the Tampa area I believe this is the only one. I can be wrong but according to what Google pulled up this was the closest to Riverview FL. Pulled in and there was tons of parking. We walked in the restaurant and the place did not seem busy at all. Thoughts of why is this place so slow on a Thursday night started to creep in my head. Let me tell you I am so glad we came out because we had a great experience. Even though the place was fairly empty the vibe was nice. Our server was on point to take care of our needs and the food was soooo good. To start we had the Fridays table-tizer which we selected philly eggrolls, mozzarella sticks and of course the potato skins. Honestly I was loving the appetizers so much that I wanted to just order more and bring the dinner home for later. With that said we were not disappointed with our dinner choices because both were great.
My girlfriend picked the whiskey glazed chicken tender slammers with fries. For my meal I selected the Fridays Big Rib half rack meal woth double fries. The only negative was the portion sizes for both meals and the Coke machine needed to be calibrated as the taste was a bit off. Besides that we loved everything else. Friendly staff, clean restaurant and good food so I am puzzled to why this place is not hopping. As for us we will certainly be back for more delicious dishes served here.
Fantastic food, I had the whisky burger and loved every bite, it wasn't too much meat, nor was it not enough. The fries where crispy and we'll seasoned , and in the end I felt full and more than satisfied. The employees are cool people , I felt good energy there. Compliments to the chef for the great burger , I would definitely recommend to anyone, you will leave more than satisfied!
Ordered Salmon Cobb salad. Point on. Everything was delicious. Salmon cooked to perfection and Everything was fresh.
Sabrina went out of her way to make sure my order was correct. She then waited on me and her attention and efficiency were awesome. Great dining experience and I will return.
Reegan was our server for a party of two. She is hands down the best server I’ve ever had. She read my mind before I had the chance to ask her for it (ranch, waters, box to go) My food came out a little overdone but she and TJ worked quickly to correct the meal. The other servers were extremely friendly as well. Thank you for such a great dining experience!
We dined in as a party of five on Christmas Day. Our plan was to enjoy a quick dinner prior to catching a movie. We were seated within 5 minutes of arriving.
Unfortunately, that is where our experience went from good to bad. It took our waiter somewhere around 7-10 minutes to arrive at the table to get our drink & appetizer orders. Then, we waited about 10-15 minutes to receive those drinks. Eventually, he came back to get our entree and to-go orders.
Mind you, when we initially arrived, it wasn't packed, but as the evening progressed, it became busier. We sat back and watched other tables being serviced in a decent, timely fashion. Maybe our waiter was somewhat new ????????‍♀️ or maybe he didn't want to be there on Christmas Day ????????‍♀️. He was so nonchalant with no care in the world. He obviously didn't want to be there ????.
Note: We sat in a large booth that gives you access on both sides. What we couldn't understand is why all the drinks and food served on one end with an expectation for us to pass it down/divvy them out. Hot dishes included ????.
Food. Not pictured are the mozzarella sticks. They were pretty good. Unfortunately, the rest of our food, not so much. All of our chicken dishes were overcooked and, in some cases, didn't have enough seasoning or sauce. The worst dish is the pasta entree. My guest stated that it had to be the sauce ????????‍♀️. I ordered a plain Whiskey-Glazed burger to go. I made sure I explained what the "plain" entails. When it arrived, it had cheese on it. I let the waiter know it was wrong. He said okay and just removed the cost....lol. He definitely wasn't happy about being there. We needed drink refills, but our waiter never came to check on us ????????‍♀️. We stopped another worker, and they said we'll let him know and kept it pushing. Again, the refills never came.
We asked for to go trays and our bills. It took forever. We finally were out the door by 6:35pm. Thank goodness the movie theater was across the street.
I won't put our waiter's name out there this time, but I'll note that we still left a small tip. I plan to go back to give this location another shot.
My friend and I didn't realize that TGI Fridays was still around. It used to be sooo good. We were near this location and decided to have dinner here. It was 8pm on a Friday night and there were MAYBE 8 tables of customers. We should have left after waiting at the front host stand for over 5 minutes before we were even greeted. Even when the host came up, he literally didn't even say anything, he grabbed the menus and took us to a booth. Literally did not say a word. ????
Our server was really nice, but everything took FOREVER. We were literally there for 2 hrs and all we ordered was onion rings, one cocktail and two entrees. Everything was completely overpriced for what we received. And I'm not sure who at corporate decided to add sushi to a Tgifridays menu, but no.
I ordered the Cajun pasta. It was $18.95 for Alfredo sauce from a jar, baby shrimp and mystery chicken. Sadly we had to wait forever for everything. Staff was in abundance but they were all congregating in the back instead of serving their tables. It didn't even appear that there was a manager. Highly disappointing. This place needs Gordan Ramsey to visit or shut down. I won't be back to a Tgifridays ever again.
Food was great. Me and my wife shared the bucket bones. Shout out to Tyler on the presentation. He recommended mixing the wing sauce with whiskey and buffalo and some Cajun seasoning and it was great. Not to mention he put a spin on the presentation for the ribs and fries. Thank you for great service!!! Also shout out to Kristena working the bar it was such a refresher coming into this establishment and getting such great service and conversation.
