TGI Fridays Piscataway: A Friday Frightmare
Remember all those catchy jingles about TGIFriday's being the place to "kick it"? Yeah, replace "kick it" with "kick the bucket" at the Piscataway location, because my experience was enough to give Freddy Krueger indigestion.
Let's start with the wings. Imagine ordering their signature dish, expecting juicy, saucy goodness, and instead receiving a Jurassic Park reject. Not just pink in the middle, folks, I'm talking full-on crimson, like Dracula just dipped his fangs in them. One bite sent chills down my spine, not from the spice, but the fear of salmonella tangoing in my stomach.
Next up, the ribs. Dry, flavorless, and starring the surprise guest: **plastic**. Not the "fun straws" kind, no. I'm talking about shards that could've doubled as dental floss – if you fancied a trip to the emergency room afterwards. As for the taste, imagine chewing on cardboard marinated in disappointment.
The rest of the food? A bland orchestra of mediocrity. Mashed potatoes impersonating lumpy wallpaper paste, fries that couldn't decide if they wanted to be soggy or shriveled, and drinks that tasted like someone forgot to put the "spirit" in the "spirits."
The only saving grace? The server, bless their soul. They apologized profusely, offered replacements (which I politely declined – trust issues, you know?), and even comped a dessert. Unfortunately, not even a molten chocolate cake could erase the memory of undercooked poultry and plastic-flavored ribs.
So, if you're looking for a TGIFriday that lives up to its name, steer clear of Piscataway. This location was more like a "TGIFrightday," leaving me traumatized and craving Pepto-Bismol. Save yourself the stomach ache and the disappointment – go for pizza, grab a burger, heck, even try your hand at home cooking. Just avoid this Friday fiasco in Piscataway.
TL;DR: Undercooked wings, plastic-infused ribs, flavorless everything else. The only thing "kicking" here was my gag reflex. Avoid like the plague, unless you enjoy playing Russian roulette with your digestive system.
Rating: 1 out of 5 (and that's being generous)
I hope this review provides a fair and detailed account of my negative experience at the TGI Fridays Piscataway location. I understand that your experience may differ, but I felt it was important to share my story in the hopes of preventing others from having a similar "Friday Frightmare."

Tonight while traveling back home we stopped at this Fridays and we had such a great time. The bartender Chris was very friendly and helpful with all of our questions. I haven’t been to Fridays in years and she made it very pleasurable experience. If we are ever in town again we’ll be sure to stop by.

My family and I went to Friday's for a late lunch early dinner. Had not been to a Friday's in years but after this visit I think we will be regulars. We were greeted with a smile as we walked in and sat right away everything was clean even the highchairs. The service was fast and it was their pleasure to handle our food allergies. Even the manager Chuck confirmed allergies and personally delivered our the special meal for my son

Mashed Potatoes
Went here on Valentines Day and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. They had a DJ and all and everyone was so sweet and vibed well. The server was absolutely awesome, he catered to all our extra additions to our food and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. The food was pretty good for a chain restaurant although I recommend getting grilled chicken for the alfredo pasta (the normal one wasn't that good) I wish I found out his name but overall for a chain restuarant, this location passed all vibes.

I haven’t been to a Fridays in awhile but I stopped by because I was in the area and I must say I will be going back again soon. The food was great, everything came out hot and just as we asked for it. The server didn’t miss a beat, made great suggestions and was extremely friendly and helpful. The manager on duty, Chuck, came over to ask how our experience was and was a delight. 10 out of 10 experience, I can’t wait to return.

This is the best Friday’s team around hands down. I travel a lot and have been in numerous locations across the country. The team here goes above and beyond and delivers a truly memorable experience. Chuck the GM I believe is top notch. It was a pleasure meeting him on my last visit as well! Great job!

I had to come on here, and really say how much I enjoyed my visit I stopped in for a quick lunch. From my server, even down to the manager who came over to my table his name was Chuck just to make sure everything was up to my standards. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone who wants a good food and good service.

I haven’t been to a Fridays in decades as casual dining isn’t my prefectures, but we were in the area for a softball camp at Rutgers and decided to give it a try with some friends. Food was good drinks are always great at TGIF but the hospitality is really where things were fantastic. The bartenders were extremely friendly and had the manager come out to chat us up. The male manager, I believe his name was Charlie or Chad - Salt & Pepper hair, super friendly was really what made our experience. He asked what we were out for and we told him about Rutgers and the camp and our kids and typically most people could care less but he was truly engaged! Our kids all practice right down the street during the summer and her encouraged us to come back when we are at our next lesson. We definitely will be back for the bartenders and the hospitality that was shown to us. It’s extremely hard in this day and age to find true hospitality and Fridays nailed it!
