TGI Friday's

Casual dining chain

TGI Friday's is an American casual dining restaurant chain known for its red-and-white striped decor, cocktails, and pub-style food like loaded potato skins and burgers.

The name stands for "Thank God It's Friday," capturing end-of-week relief.

The chain helped popularize the singles bar concept in the 1960s and became a template for casual chain restaurants: Let's just grab something at Friday's.
