T.G.I. Friday's^®

In 1965, Friday's^® opened its first location in New York City, and it quickly became known as the place where people could let their hair down and be themselves. It was the most exciting spot for people to gather, put down the issues of the day and truly have fun again. That first restaurant and bar gave people the opportunity to meet and connect with others in an invigorating environment — and for every guest, no matter when they came, every visit felt like Friday.

From the moment you walk into T.G.I. Friday's, you are filled with a sense of anticipation because the restaurant experience stimulates you and shakes the monotony of your day. That’s because at T.G.I. Friday's you are free to taste authentic American food and drink with a new and exciting twist. You’re also free to share in the collective social buzz. The heart of this vibe at each T.G.I. Friday's is the bar — it’s the stage from which energy is cast to every corner of the restaurant.

The bartenders pride themselves on providing a stimulating environment, where you feel free to let loose and play. And our waiters and waitresses work hard to extend this infectious energy to the dining area with flair and skill — presenting new, exciting, great-tasting favorites in the process. Our world-class "ring the bell" service heightens the experience for all of our guests, making them feel at ease and open to act naturally, speak honestly and play freely. And by the end of their visit, our guests experience that energizing second wind that leaves them feeling refreshed.

At T.G.I. Friday's, we promise to deliver that sense of excitement and release that people get when Friday comes around — at any time. It means that our energy always exists through our food, our drinks and, most importantly, our stimulating service that is distinctive among a category "sea of sameness."

Whether it be lunch, dinner or late night, we always provide an environment that frees our guests to let go of the restraints of the day, be themselves and play, so they leave our restaurants feeling far better than they did when they first walked through our doors. The world has changed a lot since 1965, but the need for the "Friday Feeling" has not. It is just as relevant today and we must bring it to life every day for our guests.
