TGI Fridays

In Manhattan in 1965, there was no place where people could go out to meet friends and make new ones in an environment that was at once both relaxed and yet exciting. Then, Alan Stillman opened Fridays as a way, he said, "to meet Pan Am stewardesses." Suddenly, there was a place with great food, new and exciting drinks and an electric energy. A place where bartenders mixed the environment just as well as they mixed drinks. In short, a place like nowhere else. Today, Fridays in Lake Grove, NY is still America's most iconic bar and grill. We embrace and celebrate our heritage as a bar. One that just happens to serve killer food in an environment where it's always Friday.

I've been to this TGI Fridays on several different occasions. I mostly ordered food to go but there were times when I would dine in, and have a few beers. The staff were always polite, laid-back, and attentive. The food is good and the price you pay isn't entirely outrageous. However, there's nothing special about this place which stands out to me. I would certainly recommend this location to anyone looking for a good meal.

Place is good and workers are nice. The only thing I didn’t like was the Blueberry Pomegranate LI Tea. I work at Friday’s, and at my location, we make it correctly with actual blueberries and in the proper glassware. I didn’t send it back because I am not one to complain, but for what we pay that drink was not worth $9. Go to hauppauge location and get that drink. Way better.

The steak and shrimp with the whiskey glaze was good. It wasn't very crowded for a Saturday but the service was slow. Our waitress was very polite and nice

Food was tasty, especially the vegan beyond beef burger. Service can be a little slow but still served with a smile!

Service was okay, not good- not bad, but the food was horrible. Used to eat here but the past two times have been horrible and we know we can't go here anymore now

I love this place, one of the few places that carry the beyond meat burger, and let me tell you they make it perfectly. Also they have a wide selection of interesting drinks to choose from. My favorite drink from this place is the cotton candy mojito. A great place to meet up with friends

Truly a wonderful gracious gift for the whole family and friends and life experiences of course BEGINS with HUMILITY and HAPPINESS and HEALTH and love all that and an extraordinary extensive collection of food. We had the 2 for 14.99 . Salmon n ribs and salmon and shrimp. My son had chicken breasts with French fries and for dessert we had the hot brownies with vanilla ice cream and chocolate caramel syrup. Delicious food and drink with you and your family always and forever and ever

The service was great. Very friendly hostess and waitress. Drinks were filled quickly and food came out in a reasonable time. The food was very good. I love the Jack Daniel's sauce; had that glazed over my ribs and it was delicious.My only small complaint was the floor was sticky throughout the restaurant and in the bathroom, and the wood border of our table felt sticky. But not sticky from something spilling; I don't know how to explain it well, but it felt old and more like it needs to be updated. However, that being said I would still absolutely eat there.

One of the best places to go for ribs. One of my other favs was the pecan crusted chicken salad which they recently took away. Please Bring It Back!

Conveniently, locate in Smith Haven Mall. A quick bite before an hour long drive. At 9 p.m. a Late night happy hour that was very gray on what was offered food wise. Nice polite server, was trying to manage five tables. A little short staffed this day.

Glenn Klimpel
Pretzel was way over cooked as we're the potato skins. Staff walked around and ignored a large spill right at the entrance way. Poor performance all around.
Walter Townes
Waitress was young and immature. Manager was outstanding he saved the day. Food was not great. Usually better

Good food and they're playing my jam, what..I didn't know they have a live DJ
Justin Bayoneto
Okay service, seems a bit disorganized as we had two waiters ask if we’d already been served (we hadn’t). But even once we had our orders taken, the wait was very long. Good and quality food though
