TGI Fridays

Since apparently Famous Dave's won't be open when I go to CP in May can someone tell where TGI Fridays is located? Is it in the park/within walking distance?

Why wouldn't Famous Dave's be open. I must be opening Memorial Day again like last year. TGI Fridays is part of the Breakers Hotel.

Famous Dave's will open with the park on May 7.

Rander23, exit through the Magnum gate and follow the walk to the Breakers. TGI Fridays is on the lake side of the hotel.

Well if Famous Dave's will be open I'll have to go there. :)

The reason I didn't think it would be was because when I checked Cedar Point's site before it said they would be open (I THINK) from June - October. Maybe this was the schedule from last year?

I use the marina entrance next to Snoopy rocks on ice to get there right?

Last year, Famous Dave's didn't open with the park because it wasn't ready to open yet.

This year, they don't have to finish construction before they can open the place up, so it can open with the park. :)

The web site was just recently updated (within the last week) to reflect the May 7 opening.

Where is Famous Daves located?

In the Cedar Point Marina where the Boathouse and the Marina Steak House were once located.

Thank you...BTW that survey was so much fun.Thanks :)

There is also a TGI Friday's just outside the main entrance of the park.

Except that one isn't within walking distance of the park.

Friday's is our favorite place to go for lunch if we decide we want to stop and actually sit and eat. Otherwise I stick to quick-service, we tried Midway Market and I won't be going there again. We might do Famous Dave's if I'm in the mood for some Devil's Spit ribs.

Only problem with Fridays though is sometimes there can be really long waits. I have been lucky to avoid them but I have seen it a few times now when there was about an hour wait. Most of the time if I remember right the waits were more towards the evening hours. As park and hotel guests decide to eat there. Famous Dave's is great, much better in my opinion than the boathouse. Except for the sweet potato fries! I miss those! Sidetracks in Ypsi has them, and I can't get enough!

A Friday's employee here in Columbus once told me that the C.P. Fridays is the busiest in the nation. Dunno if he meant just those 3 months or what.

Well Newt,Ill have to respectfully disagree with you.I miss the old Boat House.I loved that place.:)

Just because you disagree with CP Mac, Allan, doesn't mean the Fridays at CP isn't the busiest one. I never visited the Boat House, but enjoyed Fridays and Famous Dave's.

MrScott, come on, usually you are better than this. :)

Allan Birmantas sr was disagreeing with Newt's claim that Famous Dave's is better than Boathouse. :) He wasn't talking about the comment stating TGIF was the busiest.

However. . .as a TGIF employee in Michigan, I disagree with that claim as well, that CP's is the busiest. And if it is, I feel bad, because the service there is substandard -- at least the Cleveland Rd. one. Absolutely horrible.

Which is surprising to me.

Thank you "live entertainment" for correcting that.I was speaking only about the Boat house v Famous Daves.

The service at TGIF at the Breakers isnt horrible,but its not outstanding either.

For the TGI Firdays at Cedar Point, The Suggestion is try to eat early like arround 3 or 4, 6:30pm in the afternoon, then you can avoid the long waits.

To get the Firdays that is part of the hotel breakers, go to where Maxair and Wicked Twister is at, go throught that exit, and make sure you get you hand stamped, so you can get back into the Park

then turn left after you go throught the entrance/exit, just follow the path way down to the Firdays.

huh? 6:30 is probably the LAST time you want to be going to Friday's.

Does anyone know if the Breakers Fridays has call ahead seating where you can call ahead to get your name on the list?
