Reviews of TGI Fridays - Birmingham Hagley Road
N. T.
Nice and clean with a good atmosphere. However we were kept waiting for 30 mins even though we had pre-booked and the restaurant was relatively empty.
The food was nice but expensive. Definitely not value for money and left us considering the chip shop on the way home.
The cocktails were delicious but mainly ice. I'd go back for drinks rather than food.
We had 2 main meals, 3 cocktails (regular size), 2 refillable soft drinks and 1 dessert. The bill came to just over £70.
The rump steak in the picture cost £20.
V. C.
Slow service throughout when it was not too busy. Food was excellent as always. Staff were friendly. Location clean and tidy.
P. S.
I went to TGI's Birmingham for my birthday meal.
The staff was friendly and attentive. However, it took a while for the food to arrive.
I tried Fridays sesame chicken strips with house fries , the chicken was quite nice especially the Jack Daniels sauce.
In the end without expecting I was treated with the slice of birthday cake and the staff also sang Happy Birthday ! Made my day extra special, thank you :)
Would go again to try other things !!
W. T.
Daniels customer service was great, he is a hard working individual with some of the best skills I have seen in customer service in a long time. He went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our drinks and meal. Sadly we missed our table booking but managed to get in a 8pm, he offered to serve us food at the bar as it was quiet and cut a hour off the wait! The food was lovely, so thank you!
c. “. h.
Staff shortage so waited by the entrance 15 minutes nice clean environment went for lunch so being a vegetarian I had the cheesy taco 🌮 which was nice my daughter had the chicken strips and wings which she enjoyed and purple rain 🌂 drink..
A. L.
My friends and i visited TGI on a Thursday it wasn't too busy but the
service wasn't good at all it was very slow we ordered 2 rounds of drinks, both times it took about 20 minutes to come and when we asked for things like water and BBQ sauce it never came. No check back was made so i couldn't ask for it again. Our section that we were sat in still had dirty things on for the majority of time we was there.
The food on the other hand was great, nice portion size very filling and the drinks didn't disappoint either.
I do know the name of our server but i don't want to get anyone in trouble, i work in this industry myself so i do know what its like but this was just unacceptable.
M. A.
The food was great however we were celebrating our friends birthday and we let them know 3 times, and no one came to sing for them. :(
L. R.
Genuinely OK. The service is odd and disjointed and the maitre d' is a bizarre character. Some of the food is great. Some of it is a OK. The price is OK. They do cocktails well. I'd recommend the famous glaze burger. The loaded fries are overrated.
C. J.
Food was great, cocktails were a bit disappointing
M. H.
Always seems to be understaffed regardless of how many customers are in there.
You can be waiting for ages just to put your drink order in due to the staff having to deal with other people. Trying to catch someone's attention to ask for the bill is also a pain.
Food is always great but something needs to be done about how long everything takes.
P. W.
The food was very nice and good however the waitresses were not noticing that we've finished our food with the starters and then with the mains. We had to wait ages and ask someone to take the plates to order desserts, drinks etc.
B. T.
Took ages for someone to take our order despite asking repeatedly.
The main courses were really nice but the desserts were rubbish with items out of stock and woefully small.
C. L.
Fairly empty on a Thursday lunchtime, but I'd arranged to meet a friend there. Scrupulously clean, attentive service, and the food was better than any other TGI I've been to. Top marks!
s. G.
Absolutely love this place! There were a few snags as to be expected with them reopening after so long such as drinks not comming out on time etc.. But over all it was a good experience. Our server was really friendly and made us feel very welcomed
P. S.
Went today for a meal. Food is no where near the standard it used to be. Prices seem to have gone up. The reason for my 4 stars is the lovely lady who looked after her. I didn't get her name but she was new. She was superb with us and the kids. A lovely lady.
H. G. C.
Great ambience for a night out to enjoy with friends and family. Good food as well.
A. x.
I have been multiple times towards the end of the last year and had the pleasure of being served by lovely staff i.e Niqua, Taejon and Miles. The food was exceptional and you could see the hard work of the servers. However, i personally believe the kitchen staff may need sone working on as i received a dirty plate/glass multiple times. I like to know details when it comes to my food as I’m going to be digesting it, so i asked who was washing the dishes and why it hadn't been done properly. On more than one occasion i was told a Kirt had been ‘washing the dishes’ and i must say I’m not pleased with the ‘effort’ he/she is putting in. In a work place such as TGI’s i feel cleanliness should be a priority for kitchen staff and it seems as though this is not understood by this employee!
A. N.
My Fiance and I visited here for our 10th Anniversary. We booked ahead to be sure. We also requested a certain type of seat loacation and mentioned in the booking it was our anniversary.
Upon arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady who wished us a happy antiviral which was lovely. Then she talked to us about the kind of table we needed. She couldnt help us enough.
The waitress on our table was great too. Nothing was any trouble. All our queations got answered, and the food was hot and fresh.
Social distancing was adhered too and masks were worn by everyone.
Will definitely be going back again. Thankyou.
M. H.
The food was lovely. Staff were friendly. Really impressed with the team effort to sing Happy Birthday for our daughter.
The only downside was there was no soap in the gents.
r. g.
Restricted new manager. Half the classics they no longer offer . Basics like sweet potato fries are no longer available nor the crispy prawns in batter ... However, the kitchen manager Jake (I think) was very very nice . Excellent customer service and attitude towards us.... Waiter Jordan, you were great too
T. H.
Service is great,waitress was very helpful had a great memory was polite but menu option not enough and the glazed stripes with tgi jd sauce way to sweet if u have diabetes not a gd meal I don't need sugar for a life time after eating tht it made a sour strawberry taste sweet.
L. W.
Enjoyed the visit. Meal was superb, good vibe.
P. B. E.
My partner was not too keen on the new menu to be honest. Miss the ribs cooked in JD sauce. However, we had an lovely waiter, who took the time out to explain everything to us, as to why it has changed, after a chat I understand why they changed it. It was also last orders so we managed to get extra fries and extra sauces for out meats. Cocktail menu has also been changed, only 2 remaining from the old menu😔 shame really, there was some really good cocktails before. I myself had the surf and turf for the first time, waiter suggested how I should have my steak, it was perfect, shame there was only 2prawns😂. The starter, which is the wings, are now bigger and juicier🤤 those have changed from being half wings to full wings.
S. T.
The bartender Amit was extremely helpful and generous. He is really a credit to your chain.
P. O.
Amazing food and the staff very friendly and ready to help/serve you! Love it, I can't wait to go back!
C. D.
I think they were understaffed. Food, service, drinks all took an age to order and arrive. Staff were apologetic and polite. Food was ok, over cooked, almost a burnt taste in places. Had a good evening though.
d. s.
Came here on the 1st for my sons birthday Chloe was very welcoming and kind I had a bit of wait on my food but the manager was very professional with dealing with the situation and the food was amazing as usual We will definitely come back again . I would like thank the chefs too 10/10
A. F.
Went to TGI Fridays for lunch on Tuesday.
We shared a combo plate, I usually love their food but this time I wasn't impressed.
Food isn't the same as it used to be.
The food menu is bland and overpriced.
Our waitress was friendly and attentive. However it took a while to the food to arrive after we ordered and the place wasn't busy.
Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend TGI Fridays to anyone.
D. H.
We waited 20 before anyone came back to ask us,what we wanted...another 30 before they came back with our drinks and food....they were very short staffed and a trainee bar tender....that's understandable but it would have helped if it was explained to us as they seated us to expect to wait. That being said there were a number of staff on and TGIs wasn't that crowded and the staff that were there were busy but not very interested...they appeared to not want to be bothered. There was no service.
L. M.
Food was nice, facilities were clean but service was poor. Not fault on the waitress as its was only her serving. She was kind and polite but not there. I would go again when more staff is on to see if that will change my dining experience.
S. B.
Though the menu was a bit limited, the food served was delicious. The staff did a wonderful job considering that they were short staffed.
E.
I ordered the half Ultimate Ribs with Legendary sauce, Cheese and Bacon Fries, Hot wings and unlimited coke. I've never tasted coke that tastes so yummy and sweet! The ribs were just amazing with the sauce and I just LOVED it so much! The cheese and bacon were also really yummy and at the end, I was full and satisfied with my delicious meal! If you're ever thinking about going to this place, trust me, the food is fabulous!
C. B.
Had such a Friday feels experience and was needed after a long week. My boyfriends ribs fell of the bone & were to die for, my salad & sides were about as you could ask for... But if you go... Go for Zakeera! A brilliant waitress with laughs, banter, and gave amazing service. Service for foods and drink a little slow (could see it was busy). But Zakeera made us laugh making balloon crowns checked on our food, and definitely good for recommending food.
B. G.
Exact a busy place with queue for booking a table when it's a weekend or holiday since the place is highly patronized. Waiting for bill was long. Very exciting place and you really won't like to leave.
K. R.
We had an excellent meal - the steak, ribs and shrimp was amazing. Lovely cocktails. The staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely return.
J. M.
Family meal out, table booked and straight in on time.
Bit of a wait for drinks and food but worth it. The meals were presented lovely and tasted delicious.
I had allergies and the manager came to check to ensure not in my dish.
Desserts were amazing. Staff work hard, regularly asking if we wanted anymore drinks etc.
Great time -
B. B.
Food was really lovely. The service was good at the start and then towards the end when it was less busy, service deteriorated - which was odd.
R. M.
Had a lovely experience with Zakeera as our hostess for the evening. She was helpful efficient and constantly had a smile on her face. Great staff after only 3weeks in.
Shes definitely a keeper!!!
A. S.
Enjoyable steak meal with quality side dishes included.
A. G.
First time I ever went to the famous American family restaurant TGI Fridays and it did NOT disappoint.
Upon entering, I was greeting with friendly staff and shown to my table. The restaurant has a lively atmosphere which is perfect for family and friends.
I had the delicious hot and spicy rib rack which came with fantastic fries and Franks hot sauce.
Service was good but be prepared to wait a little bit for your food. The place is PACKED with families and groups of friends eating out.
The dessert, I had the chocolate brownie with ice cream, was good but a little small in terms of portion size.
Overall, would definitely recommend if you want a nice family evening out or a meal with friends.
D. B.
We took our granddaughters 12/3/22 at 18.00 booked under Richmond
Excellent food and service our waitress sorry didn't know her name was so lovely thank you 😊
M. B.
Great food great service and very good for people with allergies there were spot on
k. r.
Visited TGI Fridays on Wednesday 22nd July and it was lovely although they have changed the menu a lot and honestly it was quite disappointing. The lack of options was a bit off putting, when thinking of returning. Cocktails were lovely and service although a little slow was still great
C.
Food was good and served quite quickly. The staff were polite and friendly. Not enough variety in main and especially desserts, but quite a few cocktails to choose from.
N. T.
A really nice restaurant with great American and Mexican styled food in a great diner setting with various sports and activity themed memorabilia. Staff are polite and helpful and the food was very tasty. Plenty of parking behind the restaurant.
D. R.
Good service cocktails were amazing friendly staff made welcome food was nothing special though was only warm and for what you pay would of expected better
D. K.
Asked for all food to come out at the same time, waited 40 mins to only receive my flatbread, then another 40 for the rest. Food was nice and stuff were laid back.
A. N.
The food and service were ok but the limited menu will make me think twice about going back
J. W.
Great food, love the sesame seed chicken strips. Took a while for food to arrive but was still nice
E. w.
Received a friendly welcome and was seated promptly by Miles. Due to COVID still a limited menu. Our favourite of coated shrimps has been removed . So disappointing as they accompanied the ribs to perfection. It just wasn’t the same ☹️
Bring back the shrimps and put normal mayonnaise in the condiments box with the vegan too!!! Some of us can taste the difference.
Menu will need more variety before returning again.
D. F.
I had fajitas and they were great, the only qualm is that the dips n cheese to go on them were tiny, not nearly enough
N. L.
Food was good but marked down because service was incredibly slow.
As a lone diner you would hope waiting staff would not leave you waiting, it’s not like being in a group where you can sit and chat to kill the time.
I’d been left waiting for nearly 10 minutes before I flagged down 2 members of staff (with difficulty because all the staff seem to be walking around not looking at tables but somewhere off into the distance) to try and order to be told:
a) I’m not waiting staff and
b) I will find the person for your area
It was 20 minutes before I was able to order.
Too slow.
Following that the food came out, however I got my food before I got my drink and my drink was just a can!
The food was tasty.
A. O.
Great food and service can not wait to go back
a. h.
We arrived around 8.30 on a Friday night and found the desk unmanned! The bouncer came and told us that we needed to wait outside in the lobby (which was really unclear - no "wait here to be seated" sign) by which time another party had arrived who then were seated ahead of us.
We were invited to sit at the bar, but not told where it was! After walking round in a circle we arrived at the very busy bar which had only 2 bar people. The bar staff were excellent and were working hard and super friendly.
We were seated after about 25 minutes, menus were sticky. The waitress wasn't great, she explained why she was taking our empty glass /bottle (to give us more space) instead of asking "shall I take that /are you finished?" she didn't ask if we wanted a refill.
Steak was well cooked (could have done with a bit more resting) but my burger (requested without bacon) had bacon on it. I said "that's got bacon on it" and she told me that it was a mozzarella stick. I apologised, then after she'd walked off I took the bun off and found bacon! The manager happened to be passing as I said "for God's sake!" and he took it back and brought me a fresh plate of fries while I waited. Fries were good!
When the burger came back there were yet more fries! It was good.
No condiments were offered.
Waitress kept pulling "insta" face (ie pouting) at the end of every sentence, which was weird! She seemed a little unfriendly after the burger went back and didn't ask at any point how our meal was. Another staff member was slightly flirtatious, which was a bit too much...
When we requested the bill we had quite a wait, so ended up walking to the till.
Overall, understaffed, slightly dirty, with a need for better training...
A. C.
Great night food excellent staff friendly what more can you ask for
S. D.
Lovely place. Lots of wall coverings that give the all American feel, Very busy on a Friday night, fairly noisy. Food was nice, staff were friendly. Lighting was harsh on the eyes in certain seating areas, which is noticeable from the picture.
M.
Great service from Dan, good food but it took a while to arrive. We still had a good meal, cocktail was weak though
N.
Nice food, great service and brilliant atmosphere. What is there not to like?
M. D.
Fantastic place to eat staff are very friendly and helpful food was lovely plus the service was fast you don't wait long for your food
R. G.
Lost that 80/90's atmosphere. Just another fast food place. No character
c.
I went here for a meal with friends. Never really been a fan of TGI. food Always seems rushed. We order our drink which they where lovely. But the food is a no from me. Chips cold and my corn on the cob was dry. The main meal was just ok nothing great.
The young guy that severd us was lovely and very helpful. But was not the best for me personally
P. M.
Good food, a bit more expensive compared to somewhere like Nandos but it is a nice place to dine and the staff are very friendly. Jack daniel flavoured chicken is great however I found it to be a bit sickening after eating most of the food (food always tastes great when you're hungry).
T. O.
Nice atmospheric, good service, very careful allergy policy, excellent vegan burger and decent sundaes. But limited veggie menu really and two dessert options not available early on a Friday evening.
M. B.
Busy as ever on a Friday evening, so had to wait 30 mins for a table. However this is down to my assistant booking a slot that was too early which I ended up missing, so nothing against the restaurant.
Food was good, as it always is. Consistency is key.
D. M.
Excellent food, great value too, I had the chicken fajita and it was very tasty
We took our 2 year old and she was well accommodated for
C. X.
I didn't catch it waitress' name, she had dark brown hair. She was very polite and have us flawless service, the food was also excellent. Definitely recommend
J. W.
It's a tgi Fridays... It was write busy but we were a big group on a Saturday night so expected it to be busy. The waiter was friendly enough. They got a couple of meals wrong but were quick to fix it. Mocktails were nice.
D. K. (.
Very average it was my birthday and despite mentioning this on the booking staff were not overly attentive and couldn't care less
J. W.
Fairly loud as always, but good service and good food as well. Had Duck Fajitas and Sesame Chicken, both really good
r. c.
Visited there on the 8th of July and saffron was an amazing waitress. Was always checking if we needed anything and would always come to ask if we needed a refill.
Excellent service , would defo visit again
S. B.
We booked online , really easy to use. Food was lovely, recommend the T bone steak. Cocktails were very good! Great service. Highly recommended
R. C.
Lovely food, too much ice in drinks barely get any actual drink
s. b.
It was very good service, easy to book online
l. a. g.
The waitress went above and beyond to provide us with a good service
The food wasn't hot though and the salad wasn't fresh
Except for that it was a good evening
L. G.
I MISS CAJUN CREAM CHICKEN PASTA SO MUCH. Please bring it back!! Who agrees?
s. p.
Ordered with ease, very efficient. Food came out promptly, very fresh. Disappointed that we then had to keep trying to get servers attention even though they were not busy at all. Also massively overpriced for what you get, started well, opinion changed by end
S. C.
Not been here for a while. Had a wonderful experience as the waitress that served us was an absolute star! Lucy F made us feel beyond welcomed, served and treated us amazingly .Must be so difficult serving during these strange times. She was friendly, bubbly and very attentive. Such an asset to the restaurant! Food was on point too!
D. D.
Arrived tonight for my Son’s birthday and to be honest was very disappointed as there was a fair few things that were unavailable off the menu food and drinks, but I must say I have to give credit where it was due our waitress Safrron made manager aware we was disappointed and Jake what an absolute legend totally owning the issues without trying to cover up he explained the reasons for these issues and took it upon himself to make sure our visit was very much enjoyable, and I have to say he did well and truly such a wonderful experience will definitely return in near future as food was absolutely amazing and service was fantastic well done guys I truly appreciate it well done, and too all the other guys hard work too very much appreciated
V. S.
Not very impressed, I understand this is not a fine dining but still, music was too loud which only makes everyone to converse louder. And then you know what happens when you end up in busy time-a long wait for food to arrive. Didn't see any effort from staff to show geniune interest, as they know if you like or not, people will still come to eat.
Overall, its okay for once in a while outing.
F. O.
Amazing as always. Matthew was really helpful as well as the manager in sorting out our orders and being prompt. And the food was chef kiss!!
M. C.
They even admitted their new cut of steak isn't recommended and the manager said she tries to persuade others not to choose it...
C. N.
In the current times eating out is a bit of a gamble as you don't know if the restrictions will spoil the experience. I needn't have worried here as we (a family group) had a warm and friendly welcome with a great table with outside view and of course all the Fridays American decorations and collectables on the walls.
The food was delicious and portion size was more than I could manage (that's saying something!). I naturally kept a little room to squeeze in a tasty sundae. The whole family enjoyed it thoroughly and we were grateful to be able to eat out in this strange time.
Special thanks to the two servers that kept my little daughter entertained and put her drawings on the wall.
L. P.
Bit too warm but otherwise, good food, great service and fab atmosphere
G. G.
Lovely food and our waiter Jordan J was fantastic
l. t.
Very clean and we'll organized the staff were pretty good and the food was ok not as good as some other TGI that I've been too unfortunately there is a limited menu at the moment and only a few cocktails available due to shortages of some items .Still overall definitely would recommend a visit.
A. U.
Nice place to eat
It is fun
S. S.
Very, very helpful staff. Enjoyed the food and ok atmosphere, however, the place seems a bit grubby and could do with a refurb.
A. B.
Id give a million stars if I could, after been out to legoland today I'd booked in for what I thought was sunday (fathers day) upon arrival I realised I had booked the Monday by mistake🙈 Amber and Brenda went above and beyond to find us a table and save us from 3 very hangry kids!! Please make sure these lady's get a big pat on the back as customer service like this is hard to find they're a credit to your company!!
B.
Food was great... Customer service was wonderful..
T. F.
Haven't been here in a while so was very reluctant to go. Considering they have reduced their menu, the food still tastes very good here. And the service was excellent too. Our waitresses Tasha and Hayley W were very helpful and polite. I will definitely return here again soon. Still a bit pricey but very nicey 😊
A. S.
Food was fantastic but service was rubbish. Due to covid you don't get a menu, they give you a qr code to scan which didn't work
j. l.
Food was good, but the service was terrible. Slow service, borderline rude waiter, and they brought us the wrong cocktail, and lied saying it was what we ordered.
A. M.
Me and partner love the decor in here and it always makes it an experience. The cocktails and food live up to their reputation, but the customer service is even better. Our waitress 'Lucy F' was lovely, attentive and very helpful. This is highly recommended!
P. B.
The restuarant was really nice. I loved the staggered levels, and the general decor. The seats took some getting used to though, I'm not the tallest person, and if i sat back my feet wouldn't touch the floor...not a deal breaker though.
The food was absolutely delicious. All 4 of us had different things, and we all thought the food was brilliant. Portions of fries were a little on the small side though.
Their Covid precautions were done well, and gave us lots of confidence.
The car parking was terrible though. It was our first time there and we did 2-3 laps, sometimes in the wrong direction, to find the way out. Hint for anyone considering it, when leaving you have to drive into the car park of the restuarant next door (There are no signs that tell you that though)
Don't let the car park put you off though, one of the best TGI Fridays in the Midlands.
X. g.
Nice atmosphere, perfect long island iced tea cocktails
D. S.
Service was slow, and the food took ages to come out. When it did it was ok, what you'd expect, but let down by staff slightly.
L. T. R.
Reasonably priced, service was fast for a big party but has been slow in the past so a definite improvement. Our server was lovely and made the experience really relaxed there. Food was good, tasted great and the portion size was great too. The kids meal was a bit of a let down though, didn't really look appetizing at all. Overall, excellent place to go and I love the way they sing happy birthday!!
M. U.
Virginia was brilliant! I had a small portion for my starter and she got it sorted for me within minutes!!
Defiantly your best staff! Hope to see you soon
p. b.
Food was not hot and 2xbeers were missing.
However we did get a £12 refund for the beer and I feel the food temperature was due to uber eats delivery.
If we were to eat in this area again we would use the restaurant instead of delivery.
K. U.
Wicked atmosphere Milan is fantastic behind the bar food is good yoo
J. C.
Service was abit slow as we were there at 12 as only had a certain amount of time for lunch and waitress not nowing where thing where had to keep coming back with the answers
Food was amazing
l. G.
Really preferred this one to the walsall one food, staff and whole feel to the place was so much better really enjoyed our food
C. F.
Nice food, great service but a lot of unavailable items from menu
M. R.
For was great, and Joe was amazing 👏, the service was outstanding
H. S.
Amazing, great food & cocktails...
D. J.
Food was briliant ! Waiteres was perfect ! Service good ! We enjoyed it.
C. H.
Not keen on the new menu. You can't even get the cajun king prawns anymore really disappointed
S.
We went there on a Wednesday afternoo . We were greeted straight away. It was quiet in there so we got a good table. The service was good, the waitress came and took our order straight away. The food came out in good time. It was nice too. I was surprised that they don't have a set menu for the children. I paid for my daughter, drink, meal and dessert separately. That was the only thing that I wasn't happy about.
But overall its a nice place.
J. S.
Went today for my sons 29th birthday great service and lovely food 😋
N. L.
Kirsty - amazing service made us feel very welcome recommend her for fast service!!😊
d. j.
We visited on our way back from a day out. We like TGI Fridays and this location restaurant never disappoints. We booked online before turning up and glad we did as it was bookings only. People were being turned away at the door and being told it was bookings only but the staff were not advising you could simply go outside book online then dine. We felt sorry for the people turned away.
We were seated and felt very safe. The restaurant was clean, one way system in place and the lady at front of house explained perfectly how it will work once we are seated.
Our server was brilliant, the service and food was great but I did feel uneasy that the staff were having to get close to you to clear tables, give drinks ect and no face coverings were being worn. I feel for their own saftey they should have visors provided. I also expressed this. The lady server expressed she would like to feel more protected, as did her colleague.
TGI please look after your staff, they are great. Overall really good system in place. Would definitely return.
A. P.
We hadn't booked but the girl on desk found us a table she was very polite and welcoming also the young girl who served us to our drinks was very professional will definitely be going again in the next few weeks (will definitely book now we know the routing) thank you so much for looking after us 5star plus. 🙂👍

Me, my husband and 12 month old daughter visited at Sunday lunch time, we were seated quickly and had a lovely waiter but the menu was very limited, they didnt have our choice of meal and their chips side was just enough for a toddler to eat, at £4 you expect 2-3 times the size of chips and our waiter agreed with us. Doubtful we will go back by choice any time soon.
D. K.
Lovely staff, and really good service
P. D.
Delicious food and lovely cocktails for 4 people. We also had excellent service from Hannah our waitress!
J. B.
Went here with my family to celebrate my 18th birthday and could not fault the service we were given at all, the drinks were quick the food was at a great pace we didn't have to wait long at all and they tasted amazing! We had starters and mains and both were brilliant. Furthermore, the member of staff who served us was very polite and helpful. Finally, I did not expect this but the staff brought me a slice of cake with candles and it was lovely. Overall I had a great time here and will be coming back here again!
T. H.
Definitely book online to save disappointment. Food is great, service was a little slow i.e. taking order and bringing the bill.
A. G.
Good quality food. We waited around 30-40 minutes for our burgers on a Saturday afternoon.
P. c.
Waitstaff AWESOME. Greeted immediately @ front door in a friendly and professional manner. Waiter I got (Dave) was SUPER nice, order came immediately, Manager friendly and genuinely cares about his staff & restaurant. Place is clean, was hopping w/happy clientele.
Glad I stopped in, changed the trajectory of my day (airport issues) for the better.
Well Done guys
C. R.
Excellent place...super staff and great food!!!
M. H.
I've always enjoyed visiting. Even though it's noisy and kind of pricey, the food has been good.
Multiple bad experiences with takeaway and delivery service though. There is always something missing. On my last order one dish was missing everything except the meat. There seems to be a major problem with quality control/checking that dishes are correct before being sent out from the kitchen.
I won't be ordering takeout or delivery again.
T. B.
Food was excellent, staff were really good when we got seated. We waited outside for around 10 mins with about 4 other families, restaurant wasn't overly busy but nobody at front of house for that long? Anyway food was really good and swiftly delivered after that
C. S.
Only giving 5 stars down to the excellent service provided by Lucy as she made the experience!
This TGI’s is one of 5 that have changed their menu (for the worse in my opinion) as they have decided to try and be “up market”. Which is definitely not necessary given the area and customer base they have here on Hagley road! They should stick to what they know, if we wanted ‘up market’ we would go elsewhere.
Although food was okay we probably wouldn’t return unless Lucy was here to help us.
Thank you Lucy, not enough people in customer service/ hospitality take as much care as you and/or are also not recognised for it!
A. G.
Great food although the service wasn't brilliant
M. R.
Chicken in glaze is the best thing about living in 2022
A. L.
It was ok. Not the best burger nor steak. Felt it's more hype than substance
W. G.
The food was good the service was very polite and kind, as it happened they had some kind of mix up and the 2 adult meals were delayed not sure how or why but after the starter we ended up waiting for an hour. The waitress figured it out just as we were about to complain, they brought the two kids meals re-made our food which had sat under the warmer and apologised.
When it came to pay the bill (1 starter, 2 kids, 2 adults, 4 soft drinks) it would have come to £70 kind of expensive, but as they delayed us they gave us £50 off the bill which seemed fair.
E. B.
Good food and drinks. Nice atmosphere.
C.
The service is always so slow. I had to call the restaurant ( whilst on site) to get some service. The food is ok when it isn't cold or dried out because it's been sat waiting for such a long time. Cocktails are 90% ice. If you're looking for a theme restaurant. The hard rock cafe is much better.
J.
Due to the change in menu we were going to leave the restaurant (as our favourites have been removed) however Lucy (who was brilliant) sat down with us, explained the new menu and recommended us her favourites - which were great. She made the experience so much better because she went the extra mile for us as we told her we’d travelled a while to get here.
Message to owners: Get more Lucys... and bring back cajun chicken pasta
D. A.
Excellent customer service from start to finish
From Virginia amazing 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
A. J.
Not as great as it used to be. Lack of service. And also no care in how the food is presented. I used to be very excited about visiting. Now I don't think I'll waste my time. Has definitely lost its edge over Frankie and Benny's. I was quite happy with the server who was honest enough to tell me which foods from the new menu were not worth trying. Good shout :)
S. L.
Came here today and it was amazing! The waitress we had (Isobella) was brilliant she really couldnt do enough for us, very polite and great with kids. The food was very nice too, the ribs were immense. Very clean and the toilets were clean. Literally cant fault the place 10/10 👏🏻
W. W.
Ordered take away for the 1st time using click and collect. When I arrived my order had not been printed and was not ready. The staff were upfront and honest about their mistake and rectified it as quickly as they could. They also included an additional portion without even mentioning it. So all in all a very pleasant experience 👍
A. A.
Nice friendly and attentive staff. Food is great and portions are massive! Cocktails are delicious. Monday to Thursday you can have 2 meals (off a certain menu) for 16 pound which is a bargain!bus stops close by as well if you wanted to head into town or come in by bus
N.
Slightly disappointed due to their reduced menu and slightly slow service but food was good
J. C.
Brenda and Amber provided fantastic customer service, will definitely return. Whilst we are all enduring a very difficult & uncertain time you made myself & my family feel at ease & the set up felt very safe & comfortable. Food was great as always!
w. m.
Food expensive, had a problem with gas not working, so we had to leave to finded somewhere else
m. h.
Nice meal but some things they had run out of
D. S.
Staff were really friendly and attentive food was lovely think it's a bit over priced for some dishes. There was 4 adults we all had 2 courses with no alcoholic drinks the bill was just over £104.
J. S.
Food menu was extensive and the food was lovely. Service was quick and our server Paris was so good with the children in our group (we were the nightmare group of 10 people from 2yo - 70yo) the only reason for the 4/5 stars was the bathroom - running gauntlet to get to the bathroom on the other side of the restaurant. There was no straight way there and having to squeeze around tables was a bit of a pain.
C.
We had a great experience at TGI Fridays. We were a party of four (plus a toddler) and visited on a quiet monday evening.
The service we received from the whole team was outstanding. Shout out to the bartenders, Billy and Jay who made our cocktails and a special shout out to the store manager Scott who was so welcoming, attentive and personable during our visit.
The food was delicious though we did have to wait a while for it to arrive and there was a little mix up when it finally came but Scott came over right away, apologised for the mix up and comped our bill accordingly.
Again, great service from the team and will definitely be visiting again! Thanks all.
S. E.
Long wait for service at the bar..only 1 staff member serving on a saturday night (worthy of only 1 star) Glad the cocktail hit the spot. Table service was very good the server was bright and bubbly ensuring our dining experience was better than that at the bar( 2 stars). The meals ordered were decent and enjoyable the salad however looked like it came out a bag. But i still had an enjoyable time.
B. W.
Love the food here. Music a bit loud for my liking but they did turn it down when requested.
T. J.
Always an awesome visit. Great customer service was take away today after a hard fitness session. Quick efficient food on point. Even got a selfie with the lovely bar staff who had such a stunning smile. Would recommend this particular venue to anyone for singles families birthdays hen bachelor get together. Xx
D. M.
The service was excellent and they were adhering to covid guidelines well.
Waiting times were not as bad as most were making out during this pandemic.
If you get John from Sheffield serving you then you're in good hands!
There was an incident as we were getting out orders taken when another customer just rudely interrupted about how her order was wrong and that it be rectified.
John weren't having any of that! Cut her off and explained that he's talking to us.
Then the manager came over to apologise for that which we felt wasn't necessary at all but we appreciated it none the less.
J. L.
The food was delish, the host was helpful and efficient. Our waiter Ben was attentive and made the Birthday girl feel special!!
G. N.
Food was fantastic just as we ordered
The young girl serving us didnt write are order down !! She remembered our order for five including sides and drinks and got it spot on WHAT A TALENT very enjoyable evening for all 5
D. H.
Lovely food. Very friendly and helpful servers. 10 out of 10.
S. J.
Reasonable food but over priced for what you get .
N. U.
The portions are mediocre, that standard of food has dropped but not that bad. They have definitely changed the jack Daniels sauce recipe and I can say the new menu isn't exciting.
All in all I wouldn't really go out of my way to go to this restaurant again. Not the quality or standard I remember from a TGI Friday standard.
b. p.
Shantella was amazing! Very professional and made our evening brilliant.
Well done shatelle we will back soon x
N. N.
The manager Joe and waitress Amber gave us exceptional service today. We had a problem with order and our food took an hour to come and he wiped the bill clean for us. Thank you very much for your awesome service 😊
D. L.
Despite being busy, we were quickly seated (a group of four) and service was prompt and friendly. Food order was fast and although ribs were good, fish was a bit overcooked. Cocktails too sweet for my taste and the music a tad too loud for conversation. Overall ok, but could benefit from a few small improvements.
j. C.
Ordered an extremely rare (as close to blue as they can get) got a medium rare. The waitress was excellent always making sure everything was ok, offered to replace the meal, which we did twice and still didn't get it right. She was the only save for this place just can't remember her name... braided pony tail, lots of badges and super nice.
H. G.
10 out of 10 i had the loveliest waitress who made me feel special on my birthday today (21.01.2020) I forgot to ask her name but she was absolutely great I had a free cocktail on tgi fridays with the voucher code on app and also without expecting an generous slice of cake and also sang me happy birthday! Absolutely stunning food and amazing staff will come again for valentine day thanks for making my day extra special xxx
T. W.
The restaurant setting and staff make this a four star review.
The restaurant is tiered, with diner-style tables going up to a higher point at one end of the (capacious) room.
The staff were fantastic and friendly and they ran an efficient operation.
While there is a great selection of food (including allergy-free offerings), and it was properly served, I felt it was good overall but not great. This view is informed by the newer (sometimes more specialised) American-style restaurants in the area and the general elevation of the Birmingham foodie scene in general.
P. A.
This is possibly one of the largest TGI Friday's I have ever seen. It had a fantastic atmosphere with loads of movie memorabilia covering the walls and a large bar in the centre.
The food was absolutely fantastic and there was plenty of it! Also, the staff were very polite and efficient.
Our only gripe was that we had to wait over an hour to be seated after we were told that there was a 30 minute wait - which is the only reason they lost their fifth star for this review.
C. G.
Good restaurant when you are feeling flush and want to splash out on an upmarket lunch/dinner experience. I have taken dates here and also eaten here as part of a large group. Each time has been consistently good and the wait staff are always friendly and helpful. The few times I've had to wait it hasn't been for very long and when waiting inside there is of course the option to have a drink at the bar. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family.
r. s.
Food lovely service a little slow but still a lovely evening
L. M.
Click & Collect service is first class and safe. Food was perfection 👌
M. B.
Not been here for a long time. The mains weren't bad, the burger I had was tasty but the desserts here have such a limited option and the sharing brownie dessert was tiny and not worth £8. Annoyed that the unlimited drinks were all sugar free, ironic I can't have a proper unlimited coke but can have a full rack of ribs with a sticky sauce and a large sundae with brownies, cream and ice cream.
A. L.
General service was slow. 1 meal missed off, and although the manager apologised and took it off the bill- not great as it ruined a birthday surprise meal.
Cocktails were very expensive considering the glasses were mostly ice and of the 8 different cocktails ordered, none of them looked like the pictures in the menu.
Staff did their happy birthday routine, but you could tell they were bored and uninterested and even forgot to put the sparkly candles on the cake that we had asked for.
Meals were OK, but nothing to rave about- had better ribs at Frankie and Benny's. We ordered the double glazed ones, but had to ask for extra glaze as they were quite dry.
Would I go back?? Maybe - wouldn't be too bothered if I didn't though.
P. H.
Fast food in the playground!
4 adults dined here for a quick meal before going to the theatre, food order was taken promptly and served in rapid time, quality and quantity was as expected but overall experience spoiled by loud music and even louder kids fighting over the static motor bike.
Won't be rushing back.
A. E.
Food great as always,staff friendly. Service was slow although it wasn't very busy. I went for the beef ribs...they were very tasty. As our JD wings came over 40 mins after our main it was knocked off the menu. It hasn't put us off going back.
A. M.
First time I've been, but who thought it was a good idea to pour that awful glaze over a steak? What were they thinking? But then I tried the steak which was over cooked and dry. The loaded skins were nice and the staff were really friendly and helpful
m. m.
A very delicious food .. friendly staff.. recommend it ..
A. R.
Went there for food and drinks for my birthday a few weeks ago, Food was great, cocktails where amazing. I always enjoy my meals when I visit tgi fridays and always recommend if someone asks me about it.
The only downfall to when I came the last time (April 20th) was the girl who seated and served us was quite miserable and had a bit of an attitude. I understand it’s a busy restaurant and it can be tiring sometimes, I work in retail myself so I always talk to staff how I like to be spoke to at work lol! She was quite blunt with us when we ordered our food and when it came to me deciding what cocktail to order it felt like she just wanted us to hurry up and decide.
Even though my last visit wasn’t as pleasant as it has been in the past it won’t stop me coming back as I always enjoy the food here 😊
J. C.
The Fridays that started it all in the UK, way back in 1986. The restaurant is incredibly impressive, with a gracious design and interesting clutter on the walls. It really gives you the wow factor when you walk in. The bar is massive and is lovely to sit around and enjoy a drink. The service is great, and as usual the food and drink is brilliant. Highly recommend.
s. f.
It's ok. Food came out sometimes spilled which is fine.
Tbh I didn't feel entirely happy with service but they did what they had to.
Vegan burger option was actually pretty good
B. O. r.
4 star rating in my opinion, adapted to social distancing rules very well! Food was very good! Only thing that let it down was the wait time for your meal
M. R.
Good idea that activity packs are given to the children, a great distraction while waiting for food. Didn't really enjoy my meal which was a chicken ' stack ' thing, far too greasy on the tortilla's which had a deep fried taste. But overall the children really enjoyed themselves and the staff and very attentive and friendly.
C. W.
Very helpful friendly staff well organised for COVID restrictions food came very fast no complaints .. previously been to Solihull restaurant which was an absolute nightmare from start to finish and staff was very rude so was an absolute pleasure to have enjoyed our visit at Hagley road today for my partners bday 👍😄
A.
The atmosphere is good and so are the cocktails however the food is very mediocre and it's all a bit overpriced.
J. D.
Great food,great service
K. R.
the TGI chain does what all good chains restaurants do and keep the experience consistent regardless of where in the country you happen to be.
Service is prompt and the food always seems to be of the same good standard.
It is child friendly and seems to be able to cater for small parties too so it's great for family groups.
You wouldn't say it was good for a romantic meal but it is great for hearty American style food
C. M.
Really love this place. The service is great and a wide menu choice. The food is really nice and I have never been disappointed here. Seems popular for birthday meals and the staff are very efficient and accommodating. Sufficient parking and easy to get to via bus as well.
M. B.
Good atmosphere. .Well presented, tasty food. .Slow service.Had to keep looking for waitress .Waited ages for drinks .Mocktail disappointing, mainly ice and cucumber. Drinks not refilled. Good for treat as expensive for lunch and type of food.Sat ages waiting to pay at end. Service definately let place down.
R. M.
Food was excellent & staff were friendly. Emily which was our waitress was exceptional & went out of her way to help & serve us. We paid a visit to the Solihull branch a few week before which im sorry to say was a terrible experience, but this visit was great. Kids love it & a nice touch that the staff sang happy birthday to my daughter & gave her a slice of birthday cake.
S. B.
Not liking it now, the menu has changed and the classics have gone, most of our favourite cocktails have been removed as well, the prices have been inflated too so now it's gone from mid to expensive to quite expensive.
When the food came the portion seemed small for a £24 meal with just 2 prawns on the surf turf and ribs.
The new menu just isn't that good, to add insult to it I sat at the table and viewed Solihull TGI's menu on my phone only to find they are still doing the old menu and all the old cocktails and on top of that the cocktails are £1 cheaper and the meals are a few pounds cheaper.
When we got the bill an extra meal and an extra drink were on it! They removed them straight away but they should never have been on there in the first place.
Very disappointed.
S. M.
Just before Christmas, I visited this TGI's with my family to celebrate my cousin's 16th birthday. Our waitress for the night was a girl with blonde curly hair who made us all feel welcome. The food and drinks were very nice however the fries I ordered with my meal were slightly cold, I told the waitress about this and she did not hesitate to take it away and replace it. She was very attentive to all of our needs, if we needed more napkins or more cutlery, she'd get it straight away. She made our night :) will definitely go there again!
M. R.
3 star got food - starters were lovely , mains were ok but the 2 ribeye steaks were horrible - asked for medium rare came cooked to an inch of their life !! So chewy - but 5 plus star rating for our excellent waiter Kareem he was the best :) cocktails were really good - but the chef ( who we were told wasn’t the usual one ) really needs to know how to cook a steak
c. w.
Took awhile to be seen once we were seated, food was but took a while and one of my guests food was cold so had to be taken back but it was rectified
R. P.
Amazing food. Abit on the slow side with getting tables at peak time and when food is ordered. Staff seem stressed out at peak times however very friendly and happy to help. Cocktails are amazing but can take while when ordered from table best go to the bar and order it direct, you will get it faster.
G. J.
The food is and has always been very good. Love the Jack Daniels burger. Sometimes have a bit of a wait for a table in peak times. The only little gripe is the background music, don't really want a droning sound all night, either turn it up so you can hear it or turn it down so its not an annoying drone.
S. H. B. i. a. B.
Everything fabulous but the wait to make our initial order. Place is busy on a Saturday night but after we got to make our order food came almost instantly. Hot and tasty everything!
J. H.
Daughter's 10th birthday meal. Nice food but despite order being read back to us correctly, one starter was missed and one incorrect.
Starters not cleared before mains arrived.
Missing cutlery and despite having had the same drink twice on the third order we got delivered something completely different!
I think we are just a bit too old for this place now, if you are 20 and like burger and chips then you are ok.
B. G.
Love this chain however, this particular one sadly let's itself down. Took 10 minutes for anybody to appear at the front desk to seat us, but as soon as they did appear we were seated immediately so 1 star for that.
Food was burnt in places, generally overcooked and close to being cold.
1 star fir the drink, barnamint baileys is the best drink in the world! Haha.
Final star for sever, she was polite, chatty and couldn't do enough to help us. Doubt I'll return to this establishment but would certainly return to another restaurant.
M.
Such a shame that service always seems to let TGIs down. Went here for a birthday at 1630 on a Wednesday and it wasn’t busy inside. The food was good, but took literally over an hour and a half for any to appear. Ended up having to leave without dessert because we had other places to be. The manager took some money off, but I’d have rather eaten!
A.
Our service was good and drinks were refilled without even asking. Amazing service from Miles.
L. C.
Jordan you made my daughters and my day today on her 18th birthday. Just wanted to right a quick review to let people know how good you were to us today. You are very good at your job and just makes me happy and very proud to meet someone like you today. Hardworking decent people like yourself need more recognition 👏. Thanks again 👍
W. B.
Went in July for a family birthday treat and had great choice of food. We had a small child meal and a gluten free menu request and the birthday girl had a surprise piece of cake and the staff singing happy birthday all unorganised by us!
Also, we downloaded their app and got free stuff!
T. B.
Nice new decor food and staff lovely too
H. H.
Lots of different food to choose from on the menu, they do deals for 2 courses. Drinks are refillable. Great place to come for a birthday celebration as the staff sing a special birthday song. The waffle dessert is absolutely delicious!
D. M.
I was in Birmingham for my 29th birthday and was treated to TGI. The wait was only 15 minutes for a table for 2 and the food service was fantastic, no long wait, no hassle, no uneasyness. The atmosphere was fantastic and the service provided by the young woman was 5 star. Considering I'm from London and used to long waits and funny service. Great restaurant, will definitely pass by this place again.
l.
Although it can be loud when busy and service with a smile may be questioned; ive always found the food great quality, the table always set and the overall vibe of the place great for a restaurant. I highly recommend anything on the menu with jack daniels sauce and the cocktails are great too. I think its very thoughtful how they sing happy birthday and have their own little song.
a.
Love it here, visited loads and always have friendly staff on... Love the cocktails too, try the lemon meringue pie it's amazing!
Also if you're after something fun to do for a birthday it's a great place to go...Just don't forget to Tell them on the way in! :)
L. M.
friendly staff, good food that arrived quickly, clean toilets - perfect! the restaurant itself is full of interesting movie memorabilia which the kids loved too
H. T.
Friendly staff, good choice for vegetarians. Liked our waitress. She took over part way through our meal and came to introduce herself. Good stuff!
J. B.
Food was great, but sadly - service was... Average at best. Asked what non-alcoholic drinks were available, only to be greeted with 'the menu is there' (obviously I had checked this first, and couldn't see any as they aren't in there) then I asked for a lager, which he wrote down only to return 10 minutes later to ask what lager I wanted... Not impressed.
A. D.
Lovely place but overpriced for what you get.
S. H.
Not been here for years so wanted to see if it still lived up to it's name. Meal was great, busy as usual, felt more staff was needed for the amount of customers, but overall, very pleased.
M. B.
Not been for a couple of years... Service and food was amazing. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us.
N. S.
My food super, my friends burger was burnt
D. G.
Great service, great food. Emily B was an exceptional host, not often you get service with a smile when you can feel the vibes this young lady loves her job, loves her restaurant.
Thank you Emily, see you for the kids Birthday 1/12 😊
P. R.
Meal was superb. Sirloin steak done to my liking. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. Did'nt have room for a dessert unfortunately😞 never mind next time
A. M.
Usually very busy so getting seated and your food can be lengthy. Parking is a nightmare during popular busy hours especially with the Akbar's next door.
Brilliant food makes up for the downsides and the staff have been generally good
i. M.
The food was so good And the entrior really gave you the science that you were in America. I would recommend to eat the 12 jack Daniels chicken wings as they are beautiful as a starter. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TI STOP EATING
Everyone is friendly and the waitors and waitresses are lovely
S. M.
Great food. Staff were very good.
D. H.
My first ever time in TGI's and I had a fantastic meal. The warrior fries were amazing and the burger itself was one of the best burgers I've ever had.
J. P.
Delicious food
L. B.
Not been for a few years. Only decided to go as we started to drive past it. Little changed. Staff grouped together to sing happy birthday 3 times we were there! Not our birthdays though! Enjoyed some grub & cocktails after a lovely day out. Just the job.
K. W.
Went for my birthday with my friends. Best ribs I've ever had and the service is lovely and they even gave me a card for my birthday! Great place. 11/10 would go again.
D. P.
Visited last night 20th Jan for my birthday meal. The ribs were out of this world ( always are) my wife had the sirloin which melted under the weight of her knife. Good food good prompt service and a damn good atmosphere....roll on the next visit.
L. 0.
Very friendly, great tasting food,
S. W.
Second time coming to a TGI Fridays... the food was just as good as my first visit. But unfortunately our server was hopeless. Asked for drinks to have no ice which she seemed to be puzzled by - then when handing them to us, said "one Pepsi no ice, one with ice" yet they both had ice in. Then there were a few other issues.
H. J.
Nice and helpful staff, however we did seem to wait a long time for our orders. Additionally the vegetarian/vegan offering was poor when considered against other similar eateries.
L. Q.
My family of 10 and a baby had a lovely tonight at TGIs.. great atmosphere and food... the staff were amazing...
I would like to specifically thank Scott for arranging us all been able to sit on a large table together..and Ryan for been a fab waiter..he was really helpful and friendly. Thanks guys!!
a. g.
Great food and the staff are super friendly. I'd recommend the Jack Daniels burger as it's a bit spicy but full of flavour, much like the rest of the food. Would definitely go here again.
s. s.
Need to book a table, Serving good food but waiting for a while for our foods. Plenty parking space.
B. H.
Took my grandson because it is birthday on Tuesday. food was ok, but £50 for 3 is a lot of money for a Saturday dinner time. Especially when one is a kids meal. Could have gone elsewhere such as Harvester or Beefeater for half the price with there early bird offers etc. Always leave here feeling lighter in the pocket.I did have a free appetizer voucher but this was well out of dates as we don't come here that often because of the price.
R. W.
I had the deluxe cheeseburger and it was very fatty. More fat in that burger than anything from McDonald's or a cheap smart price burger from asda. My friends meals looked okay. Sides of mushrooms, mozzarella and chicken wings tasted good. But main course was a let down. The cutlery wasn't cleaned very well either. I think TGI's like Nandos is very overrated for what it is.
N. P.
Pseudo American restaurant. Part of a big chain. It's OK, but not brilliant. Probably due to the time of year (a week before Christmas) and location, it was very busy. Consequently the food was OK but not great. The service was actually quite good. I would go back, but not in a hurry.
a. g.
went to tgi fridays 10 october, looked online at menu before went so Decided what i wanted but got there and what i wanted wasnt on the menu, orderd food come quick, food we had was brilliant, waiter jordan, was outstanding, friendly, polite, nothing was to much, will be back again
T. 0.
Great food and good service. It was my wife's birthday and the staff brought her a slice of cake and sang her happy birthday.
Please go there for that American diner experience.
M. T.
Going down-hill I'm afraid.
Dirty plates.
Food that was meant to be sizzling hot came to us lukewarm - no apology when we complained. We did get hot replacements however.
Kids' mains arrived before the starters! No apology, in fact they didn't even seem to see the problem.
Would've been 2 stars, if not for the young lady who later took over as our waitress - she was a consummate professional.
m. d.
Sorry never been to a TGI Fridays before not for me
t. N.
Very big TGI restaurant, enjoyed the new burgers on the menu, shame the covid screens did dampen the atmosphere
C. H.
Visited TGI Fridays on the Hagley Road for a family meal recently. I would like to highly recommend this restaurant. The food was excellent, good value for money and the staff were delightful especially the manager named Victoria she was most helpful and charming.
A. A.
Working away this evening and called into the TGI's on Hagley Rd - brilliant service recieved from Victoria and the team. Not too pushy, just enough and very friendly. The food was great, good value and good range of beers too. Will return next time I am back working here
T. F.
Nice food could be presented better for the price, has to send food back twice as it was not hot service hit and miss not as good as our previous experience when the service was to high standards and made our night think his name was gordan. Would go back again but if this happened again that would be it as it's expensive and standards should be consistent.
E. B.
Food was excellent, service was great. Friendly, polite, quick. Was a little noisy but that's because it was busy.

The food is well presented, but lacks flavour. The atmosphere was good, and the decor is typical for an American diner experience. Overall, not too bad.

A little disappointed used to go alot to other sites . We waited 30 just to get anyone to talk to us . In fact we had a really nice young lady who we hijacked as we wasn't one of her tables . Drinks came after starters though ordered prior . Food ok . Didn't really get the TGI experience if young lady hadn't been so polite & good probably would have gone .
H&S bad outside , steep steps back to carpark no light to judge . surprised no one has fallen down so be carfull !!!! .
However its obviously popular as it was busy .

Love this place and they doing a great job with the social distance and hand sanitizer cleaning. Food was yummy as always and staff friendly and I was happy they all back to what they do best 👍👍 I would definitely go again even during covid 19 as they got it all under control.

Had to wait 20 minutes after a lady had spoken to us. We aid we were waiting for one. Walked past us plenty of times when we were ready. Didn't have any butter when given food. Overall no time waiting for table but bad service.

My experience there was quite poor. It was very busy as expected how ever sadly there was not enough staff on the floor to cover the amount of people, therefore our server was always elsewhere and it took us ages to get the bill after.
Also the food was quite horrible e.g. The bbq sauce
Apart from that staff was friendly and we didnt have a few good drinks.

Lovely food, lovely server, shame about the length of our initial wait to get our drinks and have our food order taken.

Great food and good service, but it's at a higher premium cost than expected for a lunchtime visit. Too high a price when just down the road there are much better offers for me to return for lunch, which is a shame as I love the venue itself.

Good hangout - lots of students and great cocktail hour deals. Not good for my bank account or calories though!

Went in to try their new vegan burger and other options they do. The avocado houmous,nachos and garlic ciabatta was really tasty. The vegan burger is probably the closest meat equivalent I've tried so far and in all honesty I couldn't tell the difference. It's ashame this is available for a limited time only. I will be revisiting to try their other pasta vegan main and most probably the burger too lol. I think if they offered a vegan cheese on the burger and maybe an option to have a double stack vegan burger with onion rings and mushrooms on it may attract meta eaters to try it.
Greta waitress too. Really nice and smiley on Saturday morning

Shortly after entering the room I came to the realization that it was completely empty. No staff, no customers, it was just me in there. The constant clatter of the undead banging at the door was doing my nut absolutely in so I decided to grab myself a beverage from the bar. To my surprise the bar was well stocked which I think is always impressive in a busy restaurant, kudos to the bar manager on his stock rotation. Unfortunately the left over nachos I found didn't appear to have any sign of having had salsa on them which just isn't acceptable. The walkers weren't able to enter the establishment for 40 minutes which was much better than frankie and bennies and I was able to finish my drink and nachos in peace. 10/10 would survive in it again.

Great atmosphere, the food was really nice, the staff were pleasant and seemed interested in us. A good time was had by all in our party.

Poor slow service. One of our group didn't get their meal until 10 mins after everyone else and then had to wait again for condiments by which time some of the food was cold. We were then told there would be a long wait for desert and so we left. Boo tgi.👎

L. N.
I have been using this restaurant for years and I have never had a bad meal, it's always a treat when I get to go to tgi fridays and I love the menu they serve especially the shrimp 😍 the staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is always good, if you want great food and fast service for a reasonable price give this place a try you won't regret it.
L. C.
Really good service male host noticed that my mum had a walking stick so sat us on the lower level. Waiter think his name was Jordan was really good!

Since its been changed i don't like it as much. Less options if food, don't think ill go back sadly.
D. J.
Great place for a meal, love the environment, no worries about parking as it's free, only minor issue is that the menu keep changing so you have to try something new on that day, so far so good, what I've tried been cooked to perfection. bon appétit

Food was great!! Thanks for your service Emily

We had their vegan burger and it was alright. Place is bit expensive in comparison to a pub for a burger. Nice ambience and ample of sitting.
V. T.
Great food and lovely staff. Slight issue in that our food didn't arrive for 50 minutes, but 25% was taken off our bill so can't complain and they were very busy after all.
C. H.
Great food and drink as expected with friendly staff however a few slip ups by the doorman who had to repeatedly remove a man from the restaurant. Made for good entertainment though.
S. B.
Had lovely meal plus cocktail's. Quick service.
