Tgi Fridays

I arrived at the TGI Fridays intending to complete an assignment for my UNLV Hospitality course. The TGI Friday’s at The Orleans is phenomenal and offers a view of the gaming floor. I had a dining credit to use so I decided why not visit my favorites. First things first, bring back the Cheeseburger Eggrolls, please! My main goal was to try a new cocktail and order the Green Bean Fries. I walked in and the hostess asked me where I’d like to sit. I told her I’d like to sit somewhere near the bar. She directed me to a corner booth alcove where I had a great view of the bar. My server, Joseph, quickly greeted me and asked me what I would like to drink. I asked for a suggestion and he said anything on the menu was a great option and directed me towards the table tent on the center of the table, which displays ALL the specials. I noticed the presentation of the Pineapple Mezcarita and decided to order that. Normally, I would order a Barbados Rum Punch for a sweet finish. The drink arrived. On the initial Big sip there was a warmth to the drink. I submerged the pineapple in the cocktail and allowed the pineapple to infuse the drink. It would be nice to have the pineapple macerating in the alcohol or a quick muddle. Definitely a great choice for a pineapple margarita. I’m planning on going back for their happy hour specials. I began my meal with the green bean fries. Which are my absolute favorite from Fridays because of the taste of the green beans. My entree was the Grilled Salmon, which I ordered with the NEW Broccoli Slaw. It was refreshing and had a mellow vinegary bite. It paired perfectly with the light salmon, which I had glazed with the NEW Korean Ancho Chile sauce. I was going to save room for dessert, but ordered quite a bit for one person. You could end the meal with an Espresso Martini or Appletini.

It was very nice except for my ribs on my plate were very cold so I had to send them back and all they did was reheat them I thought I would have gotten something for receiving a cold plate of food but I didn't I still paid full price for everything which is fine however at the closing of our bill we were all giving up from the table My son had the tip in his hand waiting to set it down after the waiter walked away however the waiter took it upon himself to mention to us if we appreciate it this service because he works for tips and would have to pay for our food which we did not understand and almost didn't leave him anything We did leave him $7 taking back the $20 bill simply because of his comment was not very friendly. If your employees are allowed to mention their tips basically asking for tips You all should have a better way of going about it. I don't think I will visit this location again.

I have been coming to the Orleans hotel casino for years. In fact, yesterday I found one of my players cards from 2014, so I’ve at least been coming since then. When I stay, we always eat at Fridays at least once or twice. It’s always been ok, fast service and food is good. Today we came and had Jacky as our server. She is amazing. Best service I have ever had here in years of coming!! She taught us about the rewards program and helped us sign up. Fast and thorough service, and she was very personable. When we were leaving, she let us know how to use the rewards program in the future and we only need our phone number. I really appreciated that! We will be using it and requesting Jacky in the future.

We hadn't been to a Fridays in a long time and decided to stop in after a movie. We came in on a Saturday around 3 and were sat right away in the bar area. We ordered the loaded southwest potato twists and the philly cheesesteak egg rolls. The egg rolls were ok, pretty oily, but still had good flavor. The potato twists, however, were soooo good! They are basically nachos but with house made potato chips. The cheese was melty nacho cheese a d everything about the dish was perfect! It was also quite huge! I would go back for these alone. Our service was great as well, she was very nice and made it a pleasant time. We would definitely come again!
