Brought my girlfriend at the time there around 1998, had a great time. They had a fun electronic interactive trivia game to play with wireless keyboards used in unison with teevee screens there. It's sort of corporate-ish, but if you can get beyond that, it's not that bad of a place to go, really.

C'mon people. I charge you to find a beter "bang" for your buck in the entire Tigard area. The wait staff might wear a lot of Garfield buttons but fuck it, the toilets are usually spotless, the mojitos are minty as fuck, and the women at the bar are hellcats that you might MIGHT have at shot at taming (if you bought them about two and half buckets of Blood Light). I never cease to have a bad time here (when I can remember it). So just kick back, turn off your brain, try to forget about all the bad hassles and ilne-waiting you've gotten at Bettie Ford Lounge and just enjoy your life.

"When you said next door, did you mean Chilli's or Flingers?" If you like your servers wearing 15 pieces of flair, making stupid jokes about the terrible run of the mill pre-packaged trademarked (literaly)"we heat it in the microwave" food, and drinks with trademarked names, then this is the place for you.

Like others have said TGIF is a corporate entity so you can expect the same stuff wherever you go. It's really not bad, the food tastes good and the bartender at the Tigard location will make you stiff drinks. I personally like supporting small businesses rather then places like this, but it's good in a pinch!

Umm this is portland right? Why the hell would anyone go to TGI Fridays when they could choose from well over 200 pubs? holy shit...but then again assholes keep starbucks in business too...oh well

All you whiners who are so damn worried about "Corporate Mentality" go there after hours. If you are there at dinner time, when the place is packed with drunk 22 years olds and screaming kids and families, what the hell do you expect? Try showing up a little later and then, try not to be an asshole to the staff, that might work. Shelly rules this bar, and if you are there late, she always provides great conversation and attitude.

Yur a shitbag if u like this place. They are cheesy in the extreme. They refused to make a drink that I requested which is just lame. It had too many shots in it (Waaaah!) AND they refused to make it with 1/2 shots to make it 'makeable' under their dickless rules.

Either you serve booze or you don't, it's just that simple. These guys just have no legitimate character

OK, most chain family restaurants may be lame, and TGI Friday's fits that profile, but Brad and Shelly are the best bartenders in the whole world. And I love Brian. So once in a while, give up your super swanky Friday night plans and have some sesame jack strips and a long island at a place where people know your name.

Never been, but I am thinking about going after reading the shrill anti-corporate bs "x" and "z" wrote.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TGIF....SUX Do not go to this hideous excuse for a restaurant. Corporate Crap is all it is!

For the love of christ, DO NOT GO HERE! For any reason!! I dont care if you'be just escaped from a mad kidnapper, and this is the closest telephone access, DONT DO IT!! It's gross and smarmy and foolish. Please, patronize your local bar, not this corporate monstrosity.
