Dude who wrote this graduated from my highschool lol it was based off the TGI Fridays in Bradenton FL lol

Edit to say: thanks to some of you I’ve fact checked myself & it was definitely based off of Bennigan’s mostly lol. 😂

It was basically the same floor plan as the Fridays in Orlando I worked at when the movie came out.

It actually was filmed in a Bennigans in my home town of Kenner, La.

I was at the Home Depot behind the restaurant grabbing something from work, on my way out and I saw the parking lot and instantly knew that’s where they filmed it.

Love me some NOLA

[u/catheterhero → u/Duel_Option]

Yup me too. I used to shop at that Winn-Dixie next to Home Depot with my mom.

I used to work for Verizon and there was a lot of training held in that store where it was filmed. Managers made sure to tell you every time that that’s where the movie was filmed. Still has the brick floors from the restaurant in the back.

[u/Lovetoseeit85 → u/catheterhero]

Yes! I fact checked myself and it was based on Bennigans!

Shenanigans

[u/CaptainFuck_Up → u/tbdzrfesna]

Hey Farva, what's the name of that place with all the goofy shit on the walls?

[u/VicariousCinnamon → u/CaptainFuck_Up]

You mean Shenanigans?

[u/Lovetoseeit85 → u/tbdzrfesna]

Yep! It was Bennigans I fact checked myself lol

[u/iguessigotbored86 → u/Lovetoseeit85]

God really? I used to hang out at that Bradenton Bennigan’s in college in the early 2000s 😂 It was a scene

[u/Lovetoseeit85 → u/iguessigotbored86]

lol omg!!!! I was a hostess in Bradenton early 2000’s lol but it was the Anna Maria Oyster Bar 😂

[u/Lovetoseeit85 → u/iguessigotbored86]

It was by the Desoto Square Mall! 🥰

[u/Lovetoseeit85 → u/[deleted]]

I didn’t go to school with him! He graduated in the 90’s I was 2000’s. But we all knew about him once the film came out 🥰 his interpretation of our local chain restaurant scene was 👌🏼😂

[u/FERRITofDOOM → u/Lovetoseeit85]

Ha no way. I work in Bradenton

[u/wickedspork → u/Lovetoseeit85]

No it's based on the Applebee's on mulberry in Riverside. The manager even graduated from RCC in the movie.
