TGI Fridays — Restaurant in Grapevine

For the record, it has been a long while since I've visited any Friday's location, let alone an airport-based one.. In my 20s (back in the early 1990s, mind you), Friday's was a bit of a staple for several friends and me, so today's visit brought with it a bit of nostalgia..

I sat at the bar and enjoyed a "Fri-Yay" margarita crafted with Patron Reposado and the other customary ingredients.. I also enjoyed an order of mozzarella cheese sticks..

Service at the bar was great, with all three bartenders ensuring I had what I needed over the course of my stay..

The margarita was pretty good, but not the best reposado-based margarita I've ever had.. That said, it hit the spot and was at a price point I expected for a top-shelf margarita in an airport..

The cheese sticks were exactly what I hoped they would be.. Served piping hot 🔥 with a great cheese pull and Friday's legendary marinara on the side.. These delivered the nostalgic vibe I hoped they would..

All in all, I'm glad I visited and will certainly consider visiting again when passing through this section of...

First, I would've spoken with the manager but my plane was about to board. Second, overall everything was pretty good. Food was tasty and delivered promptly. I would've given more stars but I was highly unsatisfied with my waitress. If the manager needs to know, table 60 around 9:35 AM on the date of this post. In the total amount of time I was there, I was only tended to when she received my drink/order. After that, she either proceeded to be on her phone, talk to her coworkers, or be absent from the floor. I observed that, aside from the talking trio, other servers were very attentive to their guest. While I can't prove it, I'm sure she looked at me and assumed I wouldn't tip much. I came wearing basketball shorts because, well, why be uncomfortable, and why draw attention? Anyhow, I only had a $20 bill to tip with (because I know servers get screwed when you tip on card) and had full intentions of giving her. After that, though, nah. Not even worth "killing...

The clock ticks closer, your destination awaits. I strolled in to find a time killer plate maybe enter a food coma on the plane . I started with a ice cold strawberry margarita and said to myself wow a slow buzz , reminded me of the buffet song " two pina coladas " I knew I was taking off but wanted to make it there , so I decided to order a french onion soup , the soup came out , the waiter recovering from what I think was rush hour . Suggested a dish so I looked and found a rib plate staring at me tempting me maybe even a challenge.. lol . I ordered the ribs and continued with the now cooler onion soup . The soup was boiling when it came out so I really wanted to taste it . Not it taste me lol . The favor was what you would expect and the temperature was not .. super hot ..but TASTY !! WELL back to the ribs .. not bad especially from a airport, but hey your still in texas .. a definite start to your destination and a goodbye from...
