So I go into a Friday's for dinner to use a gift certificate I got about a year ago and I noticed the waiters no longer have pieces of flare. What is up with that? Coincidentally, the service sucked.

I was at a Friday's on Saturday drinking and watching college hoops with some friends. They had corporate in the store to do a "unit review". It was great. The cooks had to cook everything on the menu, and the bartenders had to make all kinds of crazy drinks. Of course, lucky customers were then chosen to drink/eat all the test results. We drank all day and ate all we could eat, and our bill was only about $14.00!

Man I always get the worst damn service at Fridays, yet I keep going back. The one on Park/75 is where I usually go, and the service just gets worse and worse each time I go.

friday's does have better food..the service has always sucked..been there several times and i've never walked out thinking "that was good service"
i'm glad they got rid of alot of the flair.. at least some of the waiters and waitresses take their job a bit more serious now..not near as obnoxious as they used to be |

I was discussing this with my wife at the Fridays on Park/75. The same applies to Chili's/On the Border.
Fridays' is owned by Carlson Restaurants, a Dallas Company and Chili's/On the Border are owned by Brinker International, also a Dallas company. Doesn't it stand to reason that the closer you are to the home office, the better the service and food are? I mean, Norman Brinker could walk into the Chili's at Knox/Henderson and set the place on fire if he wanted. But the stupid gum-smacking sixteen year-old hostess wouldn't know Norman Brinker if he bit her on the ass (he just got a divorce, so you never know what he might do). Brinker's psycho- vegan ex-wife wouldn't set foot in the damn place, much less actually eat teh food in one of those places, another fact I always found ironic. Anyway, how can the food or service be anything but perfect at a place where the people that make the corporate decisions can walk in at anytime and fire the manager?

The Fridays in Waco has to be the biggest culinary disappointment in the history of food. The service sucks beyond words and the food is only mediocre. Eat anywhere other than the Waco Fridays...it blows!
