TGI Fridays

We operate TGI Fridays restaurants, a full-service dining concept centered on a specialized menu, full bar service, and a relaxed casual setting. We serve a wide selection of freshly prepared food and beverages, including signature menu items and cocktails, with service delivered by trained employees. Our restaurants use a distinctive interior and exterior design, décor, furnishings, color schemes, and operating standards to create a consistent guest experience. We focus on guests looking for a lively place to dine and drink, especially in suburban and metropolitan areas and near shopping destinations.
