you don't need a cause of action in small claims court per se. If you can prove negligence on the part of the restaurant staff and it was that negligence that sent you to the hospital, then you can sue for the reasonable costs for medical care. It's an option if you want to go there and don't worry, the rules of evidence don't apply and lawyers can't say shit there...
However, I think your best bet is to call and complain to Friday's and not threaten a suit yet. If they are wise, they will settle and pay for your medical bill unless they want to risk some bad publicity on their part. They'll pay you back, I'm sure. I've heard of lesser things being compensated for by companies.
