This location is a bit rundown. However, it's located near the red line, so I used to eat there a lot. The food was dependable. A couple of times it was cold. But with Fridays, you always get the same thing with little variation, so it was fine.
Quick searing server was quite friendly and the food came out quickly. I showed the server the Yelp reviews and she explained that customers get this location mixed up with the location around the corner and that is why reviews are so terrible. I was hesitant at first but it all turned out well so not bad at all.
Thank you, TGIFridays Penn Station, for reminding me where dreams come to die. This is the saddest establishment in the history of restaurants. I think I'd choose to eat at Rick's Caberet before coming back.
This is especially depressing since there was a time when I worked at another Fridays, so it was a bit of a walk down memory lane… except, it wasn't. It was more like a walk of shame.
Came in bc I had 40 minutes til my next train. More than enough time to order the app of Jack Daniels strips and finish it. Again, I worked at a Fridays… you're not supposed to take more than 10 mins to get apps out. It was ingrained in my head after years of waitressing and food-running. Alas, 25 mins later… no strips to be had. Bartender left bar area to take a call and made her self at home… 2 waiters were having a Motown dance party (which, I was ready to take part in.. except that expectations of food arrival)… there was a terribly sad, racist trash couple picking a fight with 2 Indian guys… so you get the idea..everything about this place was just wrong. Then, when I finally tell the other bartender about what's going on… rather than apologize about the missing app that hasn't appeared in 25 mins… his response, "Oh, she didn't tell you? It's 25 mins, at least, for Jack Daniel's strips". Really? For chicken strips dropped in a fryer and tossed in a sauce? Riiiiiggggghhht. Someone's gotta tell these folks that a chain restaurant located in a train hub is NOT fine dining… and you've gotta move faster than a slow crawl. The worst part… the middle-aged fat guy that asked if I had time for one more before I left. Nope, Sir. Not a second to spare.
Never again.
Came here late and got some buffalo wings and my friends got a burger and salad respectively … It's about like any other TGIF … Can't complain at all … I'm not a huge fan of TGIF lol sooooo
On our way out of NYC we wanted a quick snack and some beer close to our train gate so we stopped in here. Service was great, and the place was clean. We shared some appetizers that were very tasty, especially the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos. The beer was cold, and they had a good selection. Priced a bit high, but considering the location, we did not mind.
I see a lot of bad reviews for this location, but I have to say I sat at the bar and was provided excellent sevice and had no trouble.
I say this to say, I would not eat here…but grabbing a drink before your train leaves…why not? The prices were perfectly reasonable, especially given the location (I paid $7.50 for an Angry Orchard) and rhe bartender waa a sweetheart.
WHO RUNS THIS PLACE?! (Besides the nats which circle your plate when food finally arrives).
But seriously, the service was fine and I didn't come in expecting the best. Servers were friendly and attentive and brought food out the fastest the chefs could cook it.
The prices here are outrageous. $60 for a chicken sandwich, soup and salad. The sandwich and salad with lackluster lettuce were $20 each. That's just not right for anyone.
Anyhow, no I won't come back. Yes id rather one of the no name pizza or sandwich places nearby where I can get a $6 panini which has been siting out for 24+ hrs. I'll let you know how that goes when I try it.
I would normally not want to go here but someone in our group did so we have it a try. The hostess was standing by the side on the phone. Despite seeing us they continued in the phone for a solid five minutes before coming over and telling us matter of factly they had decided to close two hours early. Terrible customer service. I wouldn't want to patronize an establishment like this that just doesn't care about its customers.
