I recently dined at TGI Fridays in Reading, and while I must commend the staff for their friendliness and helpful demeanor, I was profoundly disappointed with the quality of the food and beverages served. The meat portion served to me was not only disappointingly small, akin to what one might expect from a McDonald's Happy Meal, but its taste and texture were subpar, closely resembling cardboard in both aspects. This was a surprising letdown from what I anticipated in a meal from TGI Fridays. Additionally, the Coke I ordered, which was not of the refillable variety to avoid the dilution issue common with those options, was far from satisfactory. My first sip revealed a beverage that tasted overwhelmingly of water, with only a faint hint of Coke, prompting me to send it back immediately. It seemed as though the drink had been colored to look like Coke rather than taste like it. I believe TGI Fridays can do better, especially given the standard set by the service staff. It is crucial that the food and beverage quality match the level of customer service to provide a dining experience that reflects well on the brand's reputation. I hope my feedback is taken constructively and leads to improvements that will benefit all patrons in the future Your sincerely Never Retuning Customer
