Prior to moving to Las Vegas, I didn't have many restaurant options where I used to live, so eating at those popular restaurant chains (e.g., TGI Fridays, Applebee's, Chili's, etc.) were a treat to my family and I. Las Vegas offers so many different places to try, so guess what...whenever it's time to go out to eat, I'm picking new restaurants majority of time. TGI Fridays isn't my first choice to eat at but I always seem to visit this restaurant at the most random times. My family and I have been to this TGI Fridays several times since moving to Las Vegas and I never bothered rating or writing a review until now.
My wife and I stopped in on the evening of 2 Dec 2023 since we happen to be in the immediate area. The restaurant wasn't busy at all so we got seated right away. The one thing I've noticed about this restaurant throughout all of my previous visits, to include my most recent one, is the outstanding customer service by the host/hostess and the servers. I'm not 100% certain of the server's name during our recent visit, but assuming that the name on the receipt is accurate, our server's name was Almond. I'm bringing this up because he did such a phenomenal job...something you don't get to experience as often these days. He was very professional, friendly, attentive, and seemed to enjoy his work.
Although we've tried so many items from this restaurant, recently, we ordered the Pan-Seared Pot Stickers, 8-piece Traditional Wings (Nashville Hot Sauce), Crispy Whiskey Combo (Half Rack Ribs and Fried Shrimp with Jasmine Rice Pilaf and Tomato-Cucumber-Onion Salad), and Korean Red Chili Sauce Half Rack Ribs (with 4-Cheese Mac & Cheese and Plain Broccoli for the sides). Some entrées weighed heavier in the quality area more than the other, but generally speaking, it was all good. Surprisingly, the Jasmine Rice was one of the star dishes of the night...the garlic flavor was so profound, it made me want even more to take home. Also, the Mac and Cheese and Tomato-Cucumber-Onion Salad were superb. I was a little disappointed on the wings; not so much of the flavor/texture, but the temperature. The wings weren't steaming hot (it was in between cold and room temperature), so it wasn't as enjoyable/palatable to eat. The Korean Red Chili Sauce wasn't something I would write home about either but it wasn't awful either.
Overall, we had a good experience at this restaurant. The price-to-quantity/quality ratio is reasonable and I respect how this restaurant supports the men and women of the Armed Forces to include its Veterans. I'm pretty sure that the majority of America has tried TGI Fridays before, but if you haven't, I do recommend visiting.
