The problem is the only TGI Fridays in NE Tarrant County is in Keller or DFW Airport. Excluding DFW Airport, there are ~10 Chilis in NE Tarrant county and nearby in Denton county. Adios, Fridays.

The service was so bad at that restaurant (now closed) that the manager gave us a comp. When he brought our check to the table he reminded us of the comp and he had the audacity to remind me that I should tip on the total before the comp. There was no argument with that manager.

You also wrote "you surmised that "Maybe Houston's resumed splitting plates in the kitchen because of our complaint" despite no evidence to the contrary." The evidence to the contrary was that you wrote "We did it just 10 days ago." That post appeared to be after our experience there. If it wasn't, then I was mistaken. But so what? When we ate there on October 13, they refused to do it. That's right, refused a very simple request - by god, they're not going to take the plate back to the kitchen and prepare it as the lowly customer ordered it.

I suppose that you, with your honey, not vinegar attitude, would simply say OK when the manager tells you your raw steak is well-done just as you ordered it, and he's not cooking it anymore?

Maybe Houston's resumed splitting plates in the kitchen because of our complaint. Abacus and Capital Grille do it. Come to think of it, I can only think of one restaurant who wouldn't split a plate, and they told us that when we ordered it.

Billusa99, By your logic, it makes sense to go to the kitchen and get our food, saves labor, right?

And if we wanted to split the plate at the table in the portions we desired, then we would have asked for a plate, not asked them to split it (in the kitchen). When we ordered a split plate, we should have been told they don't split plates. And when they didn't do it, they should been "professional, accommodating, top-notch servers and managers" and taken it the kitchen and split it.
