We ate at Fridays twice and both times in the bar so I can watch the sports on TV. When we go to Outback or Chilis and eat in the bar it's usually packed. At TGIF both times we were the only people in the bar. So obviously business wasn't that great.
Where I lived in Maryland we had a steakhouse near us called 'Lonestar', it was usually packed and we ate there at least once a month. About 2010 the chain closed that location along with about 30 others, I believe they had about 350 locations. As soon as it closed, Buffalo Wild Wings came in and put a restaurant there. So one man's thrash and another man's treasure.
