TGI FRIDAYS℠  OVERVIEW

As the original casual dining bar and grill, TGI Fridays℠ offers authentic American food and legendary drinks, served with genuine personal service. Bringing people together to socialize and celebrate the freeing and liberating spirit of “Friday” was the concept’s founding premise, from which the brand promise “In Here, It’s Always Friday” was born.

To share that social Fridays experience all over the world, TGI Fridays℠ proudly serves guests with over 380 restaurants in more than 35 countries. Making every day feel like a Friday wouldn’t be possible without creating a place where friends feel free to get together. That’s why TGI Fridays℠ takes pride in its skilled and knowledgeable Team Members who help serve our guests each and every day.
