TGI Friday review...

Last night i went out to TGI Fridays for a meal.

At first, the decor and the ambiance appealed to me as i had never really been to an 'American themed' restaurant before.

The menu was somewhat diverse, with a wide range of cuisine available, ranging from 16oz Sirloin steaks to a rack of ribs drenched in Jack Daniels sauce.

We settled on the mexican option and ordered a Quesadilla along with a 'sizzling meat combo Fajita'.

When our meals arrived, my onion hating girlfriend was in for a shock...

Her plate was engulfed in, and i quote, "undercooked onion". Seeing her pick off the bits of onion one by one was the highlight of the evening.

My plate was a major disappointment too.

The 'meat combo' consisted of one piece of sliced chicken breast and 4 chunks of over cooked steak!

What kind of restaurant serves you steak without asking you how you want it cooked?

Shocking!

The positive vibes i got from the ambiance as i entered started fading, when every 5 minutes the noise levels become excruciating when the group of kids at the table across the restaurant start singing the 'Happy Birthday' song in their screechy voices!

By the end of the night, i couldn't wait to get the bill and get out of there, and even then our waiter 'Tom' who sneakily highlighted the tip section on the receipt, took forever to bring us the bill.

Safe to say i won't be visiting TGI's anytime soon, unless armed with a pair of earplugs and a regular sized steak knife.

Au revoir!

  1. Hey Jay! You should definitely try TGI Friday's in the States, it is one of the best chains you can ever go to! Screw McDonald's, BurgerKing and all the other cheap places... If you order the Jack Daniel's Burger, I promise you it will melt in your mouth. And service is much more customer friendly. So don't give up on it yet! ;)

  2. Heyyyyy!

    To be honest, i have no idea why i ordered Mexican anyway! definitely getting a burger or a steak next time!

    Where did you go in the states?

    Hmmm Jack Daniels sauce is pretty nice!

    The service wasn't too bad here...they were just trying too hard in my opinion.
