October 2024The food was freshly cooked and served fast. We really enjoyed our glazed burgers and Michael gave us a really good service. I definitely will go back some time.

August 2024What a colossal disappointment. The value for money is appalling, the food is bland and overpriced, and the service is abysmal. Despite being advertised on the menu, we were inexplicably denied the option to share nachos, only to find it available as individual portions at a higher cost. Similarly, a starter of guacamole and chips was mysteriously unavailable, even though these are core ingredients for nachos. As a vegetarian, my options were severely limited. The £8.95 potato skins were overcooked and tasteless. My main course, meatless chicken strips, cost a shocking £21.95 and consisted solely of cold chips and lukewarm chicken pieces. The service was equally poor. Our waiter was indifferent and unresponsive, even when our food was subpar. I strongly advise avoiding this restaurant.

July 2024So first things first. I haven't been here for nearly 6 years and it was quite good then. Tonight was booked in advance but when we arrived I asked for a window booth but was told it was the worst time to request it as it was all reserved. During our whole meal only 5 tables were used. Not exactly honest from the server. We had noticed on the website the prices had been removed. Now we know why. The prices are such a rip-off. They've gone through the roof. I've added photos of the menu so you can decide but honestly they are living off their brand. The waiter was good and did check after starters and mains were served. I ordered unlimited refil and didn't have an empty glass for long. We felt the food was just basic but covered in sweet sticky sauce to compensate for the taste. The table was sticky and so was the menu. The staff were good, the restaurant was ok but the food was poor and very overpriced. We won't come back. Sorry but I feel I have to be honest.

August 2024TGI Fridays is not worth your time and money. If you're coming based on your okay experiences 5+ years ago, I wouldn't bother. Only came here because the ovens at Nando's broke down. Service is 1/5. While our server was lovely, the overall running of the place and the Manager themselves were awful. It took almost an hour to receive our food, and 3 of the dishes were exactly the same burger order. Enquired about the lack of Biscoff crumb on the £8 (overpriced) Biscoff milkshake and was told they "don't normally do this, but for this one time they will" when Biscoff crumb is actually written on the menu. When we tried to order the new mac & cheese menu item we were told it was not available, yet when someone in my family ordered the ribs (which comes with house slaw, corn ribs, choice of salad or fries, and extra sauce), only ONE of those four items was on the plate. We had enquire about the lack of the remaining items before they finally revealed that they are out of them, which is, in my opinion, too late to tell us. They should have given us the opportunity to amend our order at the start if 3 out of 4 of the items are missing. Have a look at the plate and decide if it's worth £21.95. They offered to supplement house slaw and corn ribs with onion rings but to our disappointment they only gave a measly 2 rings. Manager is 1/5. We had a student discount code for 20% off the meal, but their system "could not process" our code. The code generation works so that the user can generate only one code every 24 hours (to stop abuse of the discount) so on our end we could not do anything more as the code had already been made. However, the Manager claimed there was also nothing he can do despite our code clearly working; he couldn't even put it under another discount since that "also requires a code". There wasn't even an act of compensation on his end, like a free starter coupon for your next visit (not that we'd come back) even though the fault lies with their system and not us. Food is 2/5. Very average tasting food. Must point out the Biscoff milkshake is half drink half whipped cream (not at all worth £8) and the burgers were fine but very greasy. Atmosphere is 1/5. It was a ghost town inside there, and I can see why. No doubt due to the crazy prices (£25 for a burger, only £3 off their New York Strip) and poor service. The only people who seem to go are families with young children who can't tell how bad this establishment is yet.
