I haven't started going to the meets (part 2) because I don't like TGIFridays. It is too expensive and the service did suck when we originally went there. While some can say "eat before you go", the manager can probably just tell us not to come back, since all we are doing is loitering. If a majority of the people spend money, then TGIFridays will be happy, but if it gets to the point where Subaru Meets take up a whole section of parking, and only 6 people go inside, I'm sure the boss won't be too happy.
Old Chicago was cooler, except now, with baseball season starting again, all that parking may not be available if the Thresher's have a game that night. Old Chicago not only has better (and cheaper) food and drinks, they didn't charge us the party rate (automatic 20% tip) on the bill.
I think a lot of the drop off between the locations didn't have as much to do with where they were, but:
1) the frequency of the meets. Every week was overload.
2) the beef some people started having with others.
I'd probably start to go to the Chicago meets again, but unless I really had nothing else to do, I probably won't be heading to the TGIFridays (even though it is way closer to my house).

Dave talked to the managers about the service numerous times. The only thing they offered were something in the lines of coupons if I remember correctly. We would even give them a rough headcount in advance to prepare a section for us half an hour to an hour in advance. Yet the service was not good!
Yeah, I like Old Chicago better. I used to be in charge of the meets there. The only downside now is that they had to block off a section of the parking lot for baseball games. Plus it's more fun at t3h OC since they have that trivia game. Ha.
In other words, what Hihobibo and Alzarin said were on point.
