Great experience I must say I'll wear his name was Brandon and hands down he was a great waiter very attentive constantly making sure that our food was hot that we were satisfied even got the street corn and my wife said it was too spicy Brandon immediately grabbed the menu and asked her what else would she like when in the back to the kitchen got her new side everything was great through was hot He's also the bartender and he makes a great drink
Brandon our waiter was amazing. His service was 5 stars and he was incredibly attentive as well as patient with my family. He was the best waiter I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thanks for that drink recommendation Brandon, it was on point!

My son and I went in for an early dinner, on a weekday. The service was great, friendly waiter and decent timing to get our food. But the food was horrible! The rice crisps are terrible, toppings look like paste, not real food and the chicken was small and dry. They took the pretzels off the menu and changed everything. The waiter was kind enough to take the rice crisps off of our check, because the were not, even, edible. Extremely disappointed, as, Friday's, used to be one of our favorite spots. I will be finding another favorite spot. Changing the menu was a poor decision. ?

I ordered something over the phone for a drive in pickup in the evening, after I got off work. After getting home, i noticed my order was incorrect. But it wasn't the error that made the situation bad, it was the way the manager didn't give 2 nickels about my time and inconvenience. Unfortunately it wasn't the first time I had issues with this location but it'd my last time going here. I live a 1/2 mile away and I'm not using this place again.

Is it any wonder the reviews are so bad? They treat you like a problem the second you walk in the door. Avoid at all costs.

I felt compelled to write this review after having Sunday lunch with my boyfriend today, and haven't been to a TGI Friday's in years because we lived in New York City for far too long! Now back in MD, and new to living in Columbia, we were craving a good ol' fashion chain restaurant, and were thrilled to find a Friday's within 4 miles from our apt. We arrived before 11:30am, and were the first ones there. We were delighted to be greeted by Dan, a seasoned bartender/ waiter, who made us feel so welcome, and suggested his signature cocktail which tasted like a cross between a Mai Tai and Pina Colada. We enjoyed chatting with him about everything from music, to living in the area, you name it. The grilled salmon was surprising delicious, and my boyfriend was happy to know he can come back to watch NFL games and anything sports on multiple TVs. No matter how you feel about TGI Friday's as a whole, or chain restaurants in general, this location is worth a shot on a Sunday on the early side, because it felt more like a local dive bar with regulars, and not a corporate establishment. We will back to hang with Dan for his company and cocktails very soon! He is there all weekends, Fri-Sun!

The food is delicious. I love the bucket of bones as my Aunt told me. When I first got them they had a bucket that you put the bones in (LOL). The bucket of bones is ribs and chicken. I usually get the barbecue sauce for my ribs and the garlic parmesan for my chicken OMG it is so good. My aunt loved them and so do I. I got my best friend to try them and that's all we get. They are always hot and scrumptious, when I say scrumptious I mean it. We usually go to the Owings Mills location but now we go to the Columbia location. At the Owings Mills location the staff gave us some of each sauce and I thought that we really nice but I am hooked on the barbecue and Garlic Parmesan. I don't mind waiting for my food since we usually do a lot of talking and by the time our conversations have cooled down the food is ready. I usually dine in but this time I used carry out and it was ready when I got there to pick it up. I've never had any complaints at this restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: They are handicap accessible, they have a ramp and is not a problem using my rolator or wheelchair.
Great servers, the inside was dead on a Saturday night but our waiter was amazing, very kind and attentive.

Rudest staff I’ve ever seen. Was given attitude as soon as I entered the bar and the Bartender in a shocking fashion kicked everyone out of the bar for no reason just because many people in the bar wanted a different mlb playoff game than the one being shown at the bar. Do not ever visit this location!!!! This place stinks!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tgi Fridays, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. What truly stood out were the bartender Life and the manager Lou, who went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. Life was very knowledgeable and very accommodating with more than just drinks. He took the time to engage with us during our whole visit.From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. As for the manger Lou, he truly exemplified what it means to lead by example. His presence in the restaurant was felt throughout the evening. He made rounds to every table, ensuring that guests were having a great time and that everything was to their satisfaction. He even waited tables and help prep the bar. He wasn't just going through the motions.

This was a terrible experience as myself and lady walked in for a late lunch around 3 pm. 1 bartender was working and 1 random person sitting in a far corner table with his hat on who wasn't eating but just occupying a seat. Very weird. However, I ordered the whiskey river combo and my lady ordered the new California roll. It took them over 30 min to bring out our food! My food did not have the correct side of Giant onion rings and no sauce for the shrimp. Then my onion rings came out and they were small and lightly burnt. I asked the bartender for the shrimp sauce advertised to come with my combo and she asked me "What type of sauce do you want". I told her that we would not like to eat what we were served and she said "fine" and snatched the food out from in front of me so quickly that my silverware dropped on my shirt. This place is sad and I wouldn't trust the food preparation at this location. Very disappointing.
