First time to Gatlinburg...found an advertisement for TGIF in the local "What to Do" magazine...cut it out for the correct info...We haven't been to a TGIF in about 12 years, really looking forward to it...I showed my ad (NOT a discount coupon) to the server. He looked at me like I was a Goat with 3 heads...said "I don't know... More

Patio seating is an option. We loved the pecan chicken appetizer and the side salads. It was just what we wanted for a light meal.

I sat outside at the bar and had a drink, but it was a very nice atmosphere. It took a while to get a server to wait on me, and it was late at night, so it wasn't busy. Their outdoor area is right on the main strip, so you can just sit and people watch.

Ate here for a quick lunch while strolling around Gatlinburg and it was great. Had the Korean Tacos which were delicious along with others with me having the BBQ sandwiches. All very good. Service was attentive and fast!

Went to TGI Fridays in Gatlinburg on a warm weekday. We were told we would not be able to eat outside, even though there were many available tables. Reason was that the tables still had dirty dishes on them and then tables had yet to be turned over. We were seated indoors next to the window which looked out on... More

Lunch on their outdoor patio was enjoyable and relaxing. The salads and sandwiches good. Servers pleasant and attentive. If you want a medium rare hamburger, this is not the place. They will only cook it medium or well done.

Arrived late (9:20) because most other places seemed to have stopped serving dinner. Everything was alright. Felt sorry for the waitress. She was exhausted. Still, she kept smiling and did her job well. Food same as TGI anywhere else. It was hot food late on.

We ate here one afternoon for lunch after we had visited the Ober Gatlinburg area. As for a T.G.I. Friday's goes...this one is sub-standard. We were eating a late lunch (around 3:30pm) and the restaurant had very little customers. Considering that, our service should not have been as poor as it was--the appetizer was served almost at the same time... More
