Pros: Sesame chicken appetizer. Limited offerings.
Cons: Everything else, incl the prices. NOT a value/not worth what you do pay. Poor service.
The Bottom Line: Just don't go to this location. Plenty to choose from. John Harvard's is right next door and have EXCELLENT food. Besides, Burger King is across at the mall.

| nickij's Full Review: T.G.I. Friday's |
Went to their Rt 202 location in Delaware across from Concord Mall. This is centrally located to major companies and mall traffic. It is on the same property with a John Harvard's (where we SHOULD have went), an Olive Garden (ick), a Lonestar (yuck), and a Red Lobster. They all share a parking lot that is usually spilling over.
No problems with decor. It is what it is. Nice LONG booths available(5 of us, 2 NOT small). Went on a Friday AFTER the lunch rush. Seated immediately. Ordered OK.
Prices are outrageous for their limited offerings.
The lemonade slushes were WAY too sweet. And the Coke was OK.
It took several minutes, and a glare from my sister followed by one from me for our waitress to return to our table whereupon she had the nerve to ask was everything alright.
She got a couple of murmured mm-hmms (concerning the drinks). But I asked, with a smile but an unamused tone, "No. Where's the food?" I'm not usually like that but it was a little ridiculous to come to a basically empty table and ask if all was well.
She went to wherever and in less than 10 seconds, full plated appetizers and soup were brought. They were just sitting back there waiting for this chick to get them.
The sesame chicken was excellent. I don't eat soup so whatever with that. The mozzarella sticks were decent.
I had ordered the pulled BBQ pork sandwich. Fries were VERY salty, had to get replacements and the sandwich was rather small for $7.99. Bone chip and fat in it. Chick seemed taken aback when I said there was a bone. I had bitten it while she was standing there.
I don't eat unrendered/solid fat on any meat. There were little pieces of fat and the bone chip on my napkin. I couldn't figure out WHY there was fat--NEVER have had fat on that type of sandwich. It's usually made from the loin where fat trimming is extremely easily done.
However there was also an underlying taste I couldn't quite get my head around until I pulled a piece of fatty skin off of the sandwich. HAM! This was HAM that had been given a pulling and a BBQ sauce treatment! Never again.
Charlie Brown's offers this sandwich, but it's MUCH bigger, has NO solid fat, and costs a dollar less.
Waitress was very nice, but may have been kinda green. We weren't the only table having a problem with her. She couldn't find the receipt or check for another table, and still another table of older ladies had one patron who told our waitress she was not going to tip her.
***And do you know when their Customer Service got back to me? Around late September/October.

Notes, Tips or Menu Recommendations Go elsewhere. But sesame chicken's really good.
