Welcome 9
Atmosphere 5
Cleanliness 6
Speed of serve 9
Attentiveness 4
Food quality 9
Value for money 8
Drinks 6
We were greeted by a lovely young lady, who was friendly, smiling and took us to a table and gave us menus.
The waitress was friendly and took our orders. She promptly came back with drinks and food shortly followed. On trying the drink (cola) is was warm and with barely any fizz. By the time I had finished my starter the ice had fully melted in the drink, making it flatter.
The starters were very nice except for the warm, almost wilted salad (could of understood if the plate was hot). Most likely it was prepared in advance and left on the side in the kitchen.
Cleanliness take a hit for two reasons, the cocktails menu had pages stuck together not sure what by. The second reason was one out of date condiment in the holder. I would also say the open bottles also say refrigerate after opening, they were all warm and no date when they were opened.
I might of said something if we had seen the waitress in the meantime, in fact our mains were arriving bought to us by someone else. On seeing this and quickly cleared the plates. I had almost finished my (almost) flat cola at this point. We didn’t see her again until we had finished our mains.
Attentiveness takes a hit as a result, was slightly perplexed are four members of staff making ballon animals while our waitress seemed to be just coping; surely making them before service would of been better.
The last markdown atmosphere, simply the music was too loud!
The shortfalls were such a shame as the food and staff were great.

Although we were kept waiting for a table when we arrived. Our waiter was helpful professional. Although there was a wait between starter and main course the food was good and plenty of it
A.
It was a nice experience at TGIF, I had this drink that I can’t remember the name, the chicken tasted crispy outside and soft inside. Value for money
L. T. P.
I really enjoyed my experience dining in
This American themed restaurant
The staff were just fantastic and so helpful
I had the spicy chicken burger with fries
It was just awesome
If your couple great for dining or groups
And there is a cinema in the complex
Well worth a visit
A. Q. H.
Me & my husband tried to come here on Friday the man said it was fully packed and we couldn't get a table but the place was empty.
We came back on Saturday for our anniversary and had a lovely time.
the waitress we had was so polite throughout our time there and she gave us a slice of cake to celebrate & made a rose balloon gave it to my husband and said here's a rose for you to give to your lady,
C. A.
I will give the lady who served us 5 star credit Aleyna. Without her help and friendly approach we would've have left immediately.
G. K.
Really loved the food it was really great. For us the meat lovers the Ultimate full rack Ribs was more than enough couldn't even finish them. The service was also amazing.
Highly recommend, TGI Fridays I will be back.
S. S.
What is going on?? Not enough staff to run a full restaurant and people being turned away. And this was on a Monday evening. I highly recommend booking in advance rather than turning up. The only beer available was Guinness, due to ongoing delivery issues. One member of staff told us there had only been two of them trying to serve customers that morning and they had been rushed off their feet. Despite this, they were still delivering service with a smile at 9pm. Our food was good - better than expected - and speed of service was OK, but I think there are some wider problems. Sort it out TGIs - it's not looking good. Your staff deserve better!
N. D.
Really nice. Enjoyed the food (as expected for TGI, service was good. Would have been nice to have the privacy of the Booths which it didn't seem to have.
I think the only downside was when we declined pudding our bill was promptly placed down in front of us, when we would have quite happily stayed for another drink. So they did lose out there.
H. B.
No booking but they still managed to fit us in for lunch, it was fairly quiet though. Service was good and staff were friendly and polite. Not as clean as I would have expected as my glass was still sticky from the previous owners use! Portions were quite small but the food tasted good. Cocktails a bit hit and miss. Not the best TGI's we have been to, but staff were friendly and service was quick.
L. B.
Well what an experience the meal was absolutely spot on, the cocktails were a little heavy. But the staff were amazing! We had a waiter called Callum he made sure we had the best service! And the staff on entrance were helpful! Thanks Again TGI's! Won't see us again anytime soon as off back home but nonetheless brilliant meal!
D. R.
Had a great time and the staff were very friendly and helpful to me and my family, especially Jaimey who worked behind the bar. (Even though I accidentally kept using her wrong name!)
Delicious food and just the right portions.
E. L.
We had a little bit of a bad experience, due to the kitchen. Some things were there fault, some weren't. The drinks took a long time to come and we weren't asked for more drinks often enough, they must of been very busy. The grill stopped working just as we were ready to order, this meant we had to either wait and hope or leave. We decided to order some starters that didn't need the grill and wait. The grill came back on 15mins later. We ordered our food (4 adults, 3 kids) one of the kids meals came out and long after she had finished her meal everyone else was still waiting for there's. The rest of the meals finally came. We ordered deserts, the one I wanted wasn't avaliable, which is fine, I picked another. When the deserted came out, another person on our table was told that what they ordered wasn't avaliable. As desserts already came out it was too late for her to order a different one.
The food was really delicious and a good price. The waitress tried her best but the kitchen must of been under resourced.
I would try this place again hoping for better service on a different day because the food really was lovely. Thank god the kids were patient, it took about 3 hours for the meal.
E. R.
Average food, very large portions, helpful staff.
J. L.
First time in a TGIF. Atmosphere was great. Waited waitress real friendly and the food was delicious. Little bit on the expensive side for my taste, but still worth it.
J. J. S.
Must be an employee training site because the service just wasn't quite up to scratch unfortunately.
Delays with drinks not explained, serving food by leaning across customers, dropping cutlery (including steak knives) onto customers, incorrect orders (missing so chased then wrong item brought).
When it came to pay I think there was either a very bizarre error or an attempt to rip off the till. Apparently the cocktails and desserts couldn't be put through the till so we must pay cash for that part of the bill.
Strangly enough when challenged it was suddenly no longer a problem!
Food (when correct) was good enough but top tip is to order your steak underdone for how you like it and hopefully it will come out as you expect.
L. H.
Food is always good, but for a Monday night when it was pretty quiet, I was hoping for a bit more of an attentive service. We had to ask for cutlery, and serviettes for, starters, mains, and desserts as each time, there were none forthcoming. We also had to repeat a request for refills of our drinks. Staff were friendly, but just a bit too lackadaisical tonight. A shame, as we love TGI'S
S. L.
Food was delicious but the service was so poor. Sat a while before we were acknowledged and order taken.
Had the chicken starter as a main and asked for extra salad and literally just had green lettuce thrown in the bowl with it. Disappointing salad to say the least and awful presentation.
Then sat for 25 mins having finished our mains and drinks totally forgotten about. . Whilst our waiter walks past us, ignores the empty plates and carried on, more interested in serving his two big tables and getting baloon hats.
TGIs use to have super outgoing friendly serving staff to go with the American style.
Definitely gone down hill .
And the loo floors, ladies are disgusting.

5 stars to JOSH at TGI's Bournemouth. So much to do and lots of tables to attend to (on his own) and he did it very efficiently and professionally.
Didn't love the fries as they were meant to be vegan loaded fries, but were not really loaded with anything., just a small drizzle of a sauce really, not not very filling. But that's not Josh's fault, so still 5 stars to him. and 3 for the food.
C. S.
We have literally just been here, our server Josh was so lovely and friendly. We were served quickly and the food was really good, plenty of food as well and not bad for the price. I had sesame seed chicken with a tenesee bbq sauce. My bf had steak it was cooked perfectly still very tender and delicious. Wanted to visit a TGI for ages and I wasn't disappointed.
K. P.
Food was nice, especially the garlic chips. They're clearly understaffed though, which seemed to put pressure on the waiters. We managed to just get a table although they seemed reluctant. People arriving 45 minutes after us though were turned away unless they had bookings. Book in advance!
G. M.
We came here to eat today with our friends cause we love TGI-s but we were very dissapointed in this store. Service wasn’t great and they had enough servers and the restaurant wasn’t that busy either. Toilets were really really dirty and the cocktails tasted really watery. Our food was amazing though cannot complain about that good job to the kitchen staff
M. C.
I really like TGI. Service is great, there is a great selection of tasty food. It might not rock everyone's boat, but I like it, its tasty and well presented and good value. Couldn't believe how spacious it was in contrast to some places, nice to put comfort over takings. The location is a positive in the sense that very convenient for cinema but the negative is that there aren't enough spaces in the car park in summer or blockbuster movie first night. But that's not TGI's fault and big thanks to staff for holding and moving booking when explained we were stuck in car park queue.
M. L.
Not been to TGI's for a while but looks like the menu has been reduced. Enjoyed our meal though, all cooked lovely and enjoyed a few drinks. Nice location and atmosphere.
B. C.
Very friendly staff, managed to push our booking forward as we were 30 mins early! Very accommodating! Service was very efficient and food arrived quickly which was awesome! Took a little while to get the bill but the staff were busy prioritising other customers and we were not in a huge rush! Overall very pleasant meal and you cannot go wrong with TGI Fridays! Definitely a safe bet if you’re looking for scrumptious food in BH2!
S. B.
Staff 10/10 ..only problem was that they were understaffed and running flat out.
Food was good although slightly overpriced but I get that were paying for the brand.
Good music and atmosphere.
J. Y.
Great food. Polite staff but slow service. Waited too long to be greeted and seated by staff. What makes it worse is that it was far from busy.
K. W.
Was in Bournemouth for holiday/partners birthday and we decided to pop in here for food. (06/08/22, 1pm ish) ...Callum served us and he was happy, bouncy, and quick at getting drinks etc for us. He took the time to explain to the kids what food was good (and answered their million questions on how he juggles bottles and why he has all the badges etc, poor guy haha). Whilst doing this, our youngest decided to tell him it was his dad's birthday, much to dad's embarrassed face 🤣 .... the quick lunch then turned into a proper celebration, cake, singing, clapping and everything a birthday should be. It was brilliant and it really made it feel more like a birthday. Would definitely visit again if we're in Bournemouth. Its really hard to find places where the kids are made to feel they matter as well as the adults, its really refreshing. Thanks again Callum!
V. S.
The actual place is very nice however the qaulity of food is just not up to the standard of other places. We had an ok meal but would chose other Americana type venues over this one
R. M.
Great food. Service was not too bad they kept forgetting drinks orders.
D. K.
Food was nice enough, but service was lacking. Pretty much forgotten about, no one asked for second drinks round.
K. M.
Food was fairly good, now like most places expensive, £3.50 for a bottle of diet coke! Staff n service not great, very poor communication.
P.
Visited last weekend, I was turn away around 19.45pm they said 1hour wait but there was loads of tables available I was so confused.Decided to book online available slot was 20.30pm when we turn up I was asked did you just recently reserve the table ? And said around 20mins wait then.4stars for the food as it was good but the service need improving.
v. l. L.
Tony the manager was highly professional and extremely nice great experience. He certainly.was the best waiter ever.
S. N.
Great food, lovely staff, nice atmosphere, nice place, will visit again.
a. h.
We had a group of 8 tonight and were lucky enough to get a table without booking.
Our server was Ethan? He was patient and helpful, but very unsupported by any other staff working there.
He was looking after many tables and there were girls just grouped together chatting. We had no cutlery, napkins or drinks. Dirty glasses were provided. And we had to clear our own plates.
Our food came out very slowly and at different times, we had a wait of 10 mins between some mains being served.
Ethan was great, chasing up our food, and checking in on us. It's a shame others don't support each other.
S. “. C.
TGI Fridays is a great hang out, for the family or for groups to enjoy the scenery and style of an americanised restaurant. The Bournemouth beach setting is perfect with the sights and smells of the seaside, then walking into the diner is a joy.
This restaurant. As a review is needed, was clean, with friendly staff and excellent service. I went with my family on January the first to Bournemouth beach and as it was very busy down on the beach, this did not stop the service from being top notch. We were seated quickly and professionally and the meals were brought out all together quite promptly. I didn't have any negative feelings thought out my visit and would definitely come here again.
D. J.
Lovely friendly professional hostess Jade, thank you for your awesome customer service!
M. S.
Disappointed with welcome service, only thing they said was that I had 1hr and 20 minutes to eat.
I don't think this is very welcoming thing to say, specially when I had to wait 20 to be served.
Food was good and tasty.
H. W.
Had a couple of drinks here with mates, had a great time. Bartender (Jamie?) seemed a bit unsure of herself, but made some excellent drinks, definitely coming back next time I'm in Bournemouth.
R. B.
Place seem nice and clean. However, service was poor but also slow. The place was rather quite which wouldn’t explain the slow service.
The food was average. Didn’t feel like your moneys worth.
S. P.
Loved the vibe in here on a Friday evening. Ordered too much food but was able to take some home. Food was delicious. Staff lovely and friendly 🙂
V. L.
Very nice restaurant!! Great srevice a tasty food!! I had a grilled ribs and they were so delicious!!
L. P.
Said i had to give my mobile number and name before they could seat me. When I refused stating no other TGI does this, the youngster didn't know what to do and had to speak to his manager. Needless to say, he came back and seated us.
B. G.
Brilliant cocktails. Good staff.
L. N.
Sesame chicken delish 10/10 could smash everyday
Girl served me behind the bar with the Shakira hair I think her name was Jamie??? Also a 10/10 absolute solid banter and a cracking smile
🕴️🕴️🕺🕴️🕴️
A. M. P. a. P.
Love this restaurant! The sesame seed chicken is Def my fav! Bottomless drinks, great service and loads of choice!
E. G.
TGI's is and always will be one of my favourite restaurants, i love American food and this certainly delivered!! The Jack Daniels sauce is one of the best sauces that has ever passed my lips.... Its such a treat to have this sauce, and im glad its exclusive to TGI's! Service was easy and fast and the food is always perfect. One of my favourite meals or even as a starter is the jack Daniels seasame chicken strips! I must also mention the cocktails, so scummy, i always have the purple rain👌🏼
O. B.
Great range of delicious food is served here. Customer service was friendly and timely. Burger was huge and I couldn't finish it all. It was fairly good but I was not a fan of the bacon or cheese inside the it, but there were many add-ons for menu items, for example, getting your side of fried 'loaded' by adding several toppings to them. Starters were very unique and tasty too. Overall, a rather good experience.
M. S.
Fantastic atmosphere and we didn't wait long for our food unlike a few other tgi's we've been to
A.
Massive improvement since last year's shocking visit, clean, excellent customer service, food was fresh
J. B.
Nice food, took a while to get, and quite expensive for a burger.
Service was great, staff very attentive
M. C.
Really really beautiful food in this place, it is all freshly cooked, the burgers are completely to die for and don’t even get me started on the mozzarella sticks and even taste better in a burger, this place might be a little bit more expensive than some other places but it is definitely worth the money when everything is made fresh.
If you love milkshakes like me then you need the Oreo milkshake it’s beautiful. There are lots and lots of different varieties of cocktails as well I had the pineapple one and it was completely insane and they also did 2 for 1 deal which was really nice of them
This place can get super busy so if I was you I would book a table especially on a weekend or when there is an event in Bournemouth town!
The staff seem very lovely and the restaurant is clean and well organised
L. V.
Such good and speedy service , sam (our waiter) was so attentive and lovely to have serve us , he needs a raise !
G. S.
A lively place with good service, a different, varied menu.
The food was delicious.
K. S.
We were the first in and the staff were very accommodating. My son loved his pasta and my chicken dish was really nice. Bit surprised the food took 25 mins to come seeing as we were the first order. Very friendly staff 😊
N. L.
Very friendly and nice staff, amazing food and drink. I totally recommend it.
Z.
Always receive amazing customer service here !
The staff are so helpful and friendly.
There was a New York Taxi and a Harley Davidson bike on display. The seating, lighting and decor is very eye catching and there is a very comfortable atmosphere here.
The chicken with Jack Daniels sauce is absolutely mouth watering.
We tried the Cocktails and Mocktails, including Pinà Colada, which was amazing.
Reasonable prices for restaurant food, and great value when you consider service and the experience as a whole.
c. C.
Had a lovely time! Waiting staff were wonderful so friendly and engaging with my son! Thank you, only thing that could be improved would be food coming out faster and a little hotter however not a problem still tasted great and could see the kitchen clearly didn't have as many staff as it could but that's a sign of the times, the front of house staff more than made up for any delays with their service. :)
A. T.
We went on Saturday 4th December as we went to see the Christmas trees but of course it was so busy and wanted somewhere to eat. We queued on the off chance as they were so busy, we were told if we could wait half an hour we could sit on the end of the higher benches, so that was lovely. Sat down and had a drink and then called over to our table before the time they gave us. Josh was our waiter for the night and we couldn't ask for any better, they were so busy but that didn't matter as he was there for you. The food was fantastic. Thank you
C. E.
Great food and Hospitality !! Very welcome and had a dietary requirement menu app which was really helpful
J.
My first visit to this restaurant and was very surprised, loved the decor and the food was delicious as were the cocktails, and the waitress was super friendly
S. W.
Wonderful Venue! Centrally located - the staff on our visit were very friendly and hospitable!
Will definitely come here again when next in Bournemouth
s. T.
Brilliant restaurant and brilliant staff. I went with a friend on Tuesday for a quick lunch, we were welcome by Miguel, who I believe is the manager, and Paulina Natalia. Both of them were lovely!! Food very tasty and quick service, we will definitely come back! Thanks both of you for the services :)
J. S.
Mediocre at best. Nothing bad not good about it. Overall, overpriced for what it was.
Staff were good though.
A. A.
Very nice food and good value, love the cocktails. Been here often and never disappoints
J. C.
Never been before thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the staff were attentive and pleasant.
H. B.
Great service great food definitely worth booking in advance as they do get very busy at the weekend
J. K.
It is what it is American style burger restaurant.possibly suited for the younger generation loud music so couldn't enjoy a conversation without raised voices.4stars for cleanliness and staff attitude.
D. S. a.
The food is OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD.
Everything was cooked to perfection and we hardly waited any time at all
With amazing service each time TGI is deffinatly my favourite place to go.
We were served by, Rhyce I believe? Exceptional service from him. Always cheery and was happy to fulfil all our request. Wonderful restaurant with great staff and even greater management. I would rate a 10 if I could.
We all *clearly* loved it♡
E. R. A.
The food wasn't as good as I remembered and had to ask twice for the bill when it wasn't even busy
P. H.
Clean and tidy music a bit too loud which made hearing the waitress tricky, but a good overall experience.
S. P.
Had issues with beer taps replaced my beer and comped another so not a bad rating but they were understaffed or under pressure and trying
D. R.
Very quick service and it seemed quite a busy period too. Food very nice
R. P.
Great experience, Food was lovely service was efficient, would recommend booking very busy
N. J.
Friendly staff and good service, although a little slow. On the whole, a good experience and what you expect from TGI.
s. s.
Good place to eat an u can get a free pudding by scanning the qr code on your table.........staff are very friendly an helpful
C. G.
Always have a beautiful meal here! It's our date thing 🥰
S. L.
Came here today with my friends to enjoy a meal after a long day at work. Was seated fast and our waiter Josh was amazing. He was kind funny and efficient making sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back.
G. P.
We all enjoyed our food, the full rack of Ribs was double tasty
R. H.
Great location, staff friendly. Food ok, some menu choices not available. Service very, very slow, although staff standing talking to each other.
S. S. A.
Never had a bad experience here! Food is always amazing and the staff are lovely. I had my birthday here so had the unfortunate event of the birthday song 😅 I got a signed card and ice-cream which I wasn't expecting at all. Really nice environment.
J. M.
Excellent, friendly staff, brilliant atmosphere, very generous portions could barley finish
P. B.
I was shown to my table straight away, despite not having a booking. They asked if I had any allergies and upon telling them I'm allergic to nuts, they gave me a barcode to scan for the allergen menu. It took roughly 20 minutes for them to take my order. I kept smiling and nodding at all the servers who walked past me, but none of them stopped to ask if I was ready to order until I asked them if I could order. Approximately 20 minutes later my food arrived. The quality of the corn on the cob, ribs and fries were great, especially the onion rings. I wasn't impressed with the slaw - there was no flavour to it. I also tried the #instastoli which was quite refreshing and all the flavours were balanced very nicely. However, I could not taste any alcohol whatsoever and after ordering a large glass of it, I thought I might feel some effects..!
C.
I came in last night for my birthday. Our server was Josh and he was the most polite and helpful person. I had the best time even tho I was embarrassed when they got me up to sing Happy Birthday. Highly recommend as the food was outstanding. Gold star for Josh x
I. T.
Great service from one waiter. Unfortunately other weren't so helpful - asked three times for water and waited over half an hour before any was brought to us. Same thing happened with the bill. Great food just a shame some of the service wasn't up to standard.
T. J.
Excellent service, many thanks to our waitress Jess.
Food was good and arrived fairly promptly as restaurants go, even fast tracked the dessert when we mentioned we had a movie to see, 5 stars all around.
M. F.
Food is average / good. Staff are friendly, located next to cinema.
S. L.
Nice place, friendly staff and good food. Would go back. Love the choice
h. G.
That sesame chicken though... to die for. Price is alright, and the bubble gum daiquiri is banging, love a nice tgi's.
S. D.
Great food and polite staff. Our cocktails took quite a while to arrive but this was understandable due to how busy they were - Seemed under staffed. All in all, a decent place to dine.
J. B.
Brilliant staff large fridays. Bournemouth is a brilliant day out and a perfect place to stop for food and drink. If you like fridays food a well deserved place to stop after a busy day.
J. D.
Food was very nice, service was good nice little song if it was your birthday but can get abit annoying if they sing it for multiple peoples birthdays.
j. m.
Staff where great very polite and good at their job. Unfortunately our food was a bit cold but OK to eat and tasted good. Will try again next time we are up there
j. c.
Been twice now,. On both occasions,. Had great service and food was lush.
i. w.
A long wait for a table. Service was good but the place seemed to be in need of a refit. Food was good.
M. P.
Food was ok service a bit slow hard finding a waiters when you wanted one . Toilet need a good clean .
C. M.
A birthday 🎂 meal for our Grandaughter last Saturday evening at 7pm, we was shown straight to our table, no waiting, our server was amazing, nothing was to much trouble by him, food was great and the singing of Happy birthday was a nice touch, needless to say we all had a great time, I would definitely recommend this restaurant great food at great value for money 💰
K. E.
Enjoyed a birthday meal out. Great atmosphere, lovely food, and the best bit TGIs own birthday song.
S. G.
DOUBLE CHECK BOOKING AREA AS COMMONLY CONFUSED! I wanted to book for the Bournemouth tgi fridays but booked for the West Quay one because on the booking it said Bournemouth West Quay only to find out that West Quay is in Southampton!! According to a random waitress we spoke to this is a common mistake. Very annoyed about that, lucky to get a table for 8 but would be very angry if got turned away.
Otherwise! The food was great, drinks were great, birthday celebration was amazing and delightful staff, especially Paulina W ! This waitress was amazing in her service and kindness, lots of praise for her!
J. J.
Had a cocktail for first of the year. Very nice , didn't eat there this time but will do at some point.
H. B.
Friendly staff, over cooked food didn't listen to requirements when have steak cook asked for medium rare came out well done no point in making a fuss too busy
J. S.
First time at this venue. Enjoyed my meal. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Would eat there again.
a. t.
Staff were friendly and the place was busy which caused delays in orders for food and drink. However, I ordered a burger from there and it was dry and I couldn't finish it. I would suggest to anyone planning on going, to go during the week day when there is less customers visiting.
J. P.
Good food but most of all an amazing service! They go out of the way to make birthdays memorable and the gentleman that served us, while only being on the job for the second day was great!
L.
Very happy atmosphere, very busy but very happy. Much less dresry than other places I've been. Great food too, but a bit big for me, personally. Couldn't finish the fries
J. S.
Nice place, clean, good social distancing. Super tasty burgers, nice mocktails!!
D. T.
Food was good but service was painfully slow...waited 40mins for our drinks and 1 of them was a tap water, which didn't arrive with the rest even after asking for a further 2 times.
P.
Really helpful waitress. Overheard manager talking to staff which was not too professional. Also messed my order up. Food was of fairly good quality though.
G. A.
Cold beer, nice environment, good food, good service, i just found a little bit expensive for the food, i mean expensive for what it is...
N. D.
Fantastic service from Paulina our waitress. Starter was awesome, mains ok but the Louisiana burger thing I had was a bit strange, very sharp, vinegary sauce.
J. H.
Food as expected restaurant was grubby, food scraps and spillages near the tables, toilets didn't look like they'd been cleaned at all shame because the service from the staff was excellent friendly and attentive. Hope it was just an off day on at a busy time!
M.
Had a lovely meal with a few cheeky drinks in there too of course! Everything was perfect! I can’t thank our lovely waitress Calla enough! So full of character and personality it made every second of our meal entertaining and enjoyable from start to finish. Absolutely loved it.
J. G.
Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff, very clean restaurant.
A. T.
Food as per TGIF standards as expected but service was slow and below par, possibly due to half term rush / staff shortage. Plenty of people were turned away or put on waiting lists for over an an hour, despite clearly having empty tables for seating.
E. H.
good, speedy Service. Very friendly staff with excellent customer service. prices aren't terrible. food is good with decent portion Sizes
L. G.
Can't beat a TGI Friday's burger! Nice restaurant, friendly staff, tasty food.
J. B.
Amazing food, tastes delicious! Good service too, have a good ratio of waiter/waitresses to customers
N. W.
Lovely restaurant inside the BH2! The food was cooked perfectly and was really tasty with decent portion sizes. Recommended!
A. H.
Celebrated a birthday so got the birthday singing experience. Callum was our her server who had such great energy. He deserves all the badges there are!
M. C.
TGI quality, great staff, great food. Thank you.
C. G.
Staff were the best part of my visit. The food was average and limited due to pandemic however the staff were faultless. We did have to wait a while for drinks and between starter and main
l. k.
Never really had this place on my tick list of chain restaurants to visit but went as we were out in a group and it was voted as great. The waitress was really nice, however found the service quite slow the restaurant was not even near capacity. For the price of the food I think I expected more on the plate. For 5 main meals and 5 soft drinks £90 is reasonable but again I just expected a bit more.
R. S.
Nice meal , good selection of food served by a charming young lady called Jess.
Nothing was too much for her and always had a lovely smile.
J. L.
Lovely food but sloooow slooow slooow
A. B.
Was greated by friendly staff and our waitress was really friendly and helpful.
Food and drinks were great. Times waiting was spot on between starter to our mains.
All in all this is a great TGI to go too.
A. R.
The staff especially the young lady that looked after our table, was very polite answered all are meal requirements and dietary needs ( not that we had any, but she was professional enough to have ask).
The food was hot and very enjoyable and tasty.
Would recommend TGI to everyone and anyone that reads this message. We were a large table but we didnt have to wait to long between courses.
Thank you for making my family day out as enjoyable as it was.
5 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
J. W.
TGIs is a family favourite, and any of them are good (can only speak for Bournemouth and Poole) however, I do prefer Bournemouth. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, just wish TGIs made milkshakes.
P. H.
My experience this time going to TGIs was just OK, they never told us there was limited menu until we sat down and tried to order it. Service was brilliant.

Nice American diner good service for such a busy diner
L. P.
Me, my husband and our daughter have visited quite a few of the Tgi Fridays chains but this one is the best by far in our opinion! Cannot fault anything.
We hadn’t booked a table but called up and asked if there were any spaces and a lovely and very polite girl called Sofia (I think!) told us that they had the space for us. We arrived soon after and the same girl that I had spoken to on the phone took us to our table and it was the warmest welcome we have ever had in a restaurant! She even came over whilst we were waiting for our starters and gave our daughter a balloon dog and had a little chat to her which made her day.
Shortly after we’d been sat we were seen by our server Tom who was amazing from start to finish; very attentive and answered any questions that we had with no issue whatsoever. Service was very fast as well and he was so friendly. The restaurant was quite busy and we could see he had quite a few other tables but his attention to detail was still spot on. 11/10 service!
All of our food was fantastic, even my husband who tends to be a bit of a complainer couldn’t stop raving about his burger! I had a steak which is what I usually get at Tgi Friday’s but this one was cooked to absolute perfection so props to whoever in the kitchen made it!
Thank you to all of the staff for making our experience here so fab, we will definitely be back!
J. W.
The waitress could not have been any more helpful. Family of four of us dined on a busy Thursday evening.
We ordered soft drinks but only the fuzzy drinks Coke/lemonade were unlimited. The waitress agreed to change the still juices to unlimited for the night.
We asked for a change to one of the meals and it was perfect.
Cannot fault the place.
L. N.
I Love it here. The staff are always happy, helpful and friendly and the food is amazing! A great place to take the family.
K. C.
Nice classic restaurant at Bh2
Has great bergers!
The service is not so good but they are trying hard.
I suggest you Don't go Saturday night without booking.
S. D.
Had an amazing and great experience here!
Staff was friendly, maybe a bit busy and unhelpful but once you got help it was amazing! Fast service, drinks where sadly not consistently and it took longer to wait for drinks then finish our dinner sadly.
As I have been here two times and a bit of mixed on this I will give it 4/5 as it is pretty good and a bit down the last time.
The waiting time to get into the restaurant was short and simple. The cocktails we ordered was redone twice sadly but they tasted delicious once we go them.
Though I will say I will visit again with friends and family.
D. S.
Not terrible, but slow service tonight. Food was really good, once it was correct and in front of us.
Under staffed. Would go again to see it under different circumstances
C. F.
Would give 5* if the music wasn't so loud. Did effect my dining experience with my family. I have a niece who is autistic and I would never bring her here or recommend any one who is sensitive to loud noises come. The food however was delicious and not a long wait, there was a delay in the service but was a busy evening. Childrens food also looked great. My personal recommendation is sesame chicken and chips 🤤.
K. K.
Went there for a spontaneous date and ordered a shareable bowl of different kind of meat in a classic glaze and spicy prawn for starter. The food was great, delicate meat and the portions were good-sized. The service was even better, showing the positive attitude and being helpful, checking on us couple of times. Although it's not very cosy, the quality to price ratio makes it worth trying.
R. R.
I so enjoyed my visit, which was a treat from the family. Food was good, well presented and portions were generous. Seating was comfortable, and our server was attentive and very accommodating with us. I did, however, feel for a number of guests who were waiting to be attended to, and what seemed like an avoidable delay. Staff gathered round the bar with backs to the restaurant, and focused more on chit chat is not a good modus operandi for any organisation, and not confined to a single incident. That said, in fairness to the majority of staff,there was clearly one main offender. If this has not been observed, my visit would have been perfect.
J. L.
As always a good atmosphere but now getting expensive for what you get.
T. M.
This restraunt was ok great for the family but pretty average. The food took forever to come out and our chips were cold, then when the desserts came out what was meant to be a hot chocolate brownie was also cold. However the staff were lovely and made up for the mistakes with how nice they were.
k. h.
Friendly efficient staff. The burger I had was cooked to perfection, and the sweet potato fries were gorgeous. I liked the ambience, and the background music wasn't too intrusive, which often happens at other TGI's I visit. I would recommend it here.
W. H.
Higher price than some competing chains, but the JD Glaze sauce makes the price worth it!
R. V.
Had a great evening here tonight much helped by the fantastic waiter/manager Andy. What a superstar. So friendly. Every restaurant needs an Andy. Lucky TGI Fridays.
R. m.
Friendly staff, food was a little steep for what you got, but tasty either way.
S. T.
Was away in Bournemouth for the weekend with my boyfriend. Booked table online which was really easy. Turned up seated straight away and was then greeted by our server Caitlin who was very polite and smiling all the time she knew everything that was on the menu. Was always checking we were ok and if we needed anything throughout our evening. Food was amazing. Definitely when we’re next in Bournemouth we will be popping in for some dinner.
J. H.
Booked a meal for my birthday, which went really well. Food was all delicious and everyone's meals arrived together. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we felt really looked after. It was a very good night, thank you! :-)
J. H.
Booked a table and it wasn't ready when we arrived so sat at the bar but saw plenty of tables free and several people walk in and get seated before us. Spoke to the manager and got told that's how things are.
S. B.
Service was a bit slow and dispute the restaurant being half empty we were on tables close to others dispute social distancing. They had run out of a lot of options on the menu as well. What we got was good though.
D. C.
Brought my daughter to tgis on the weekend. our server Rhys was very attentive and friendly, my daughter was given a balloon animal which she was quite pleased with. One of the managers Henry checked up on us, he was also very polite and friendly, much like the rest of the staff. Overall great service
A. T.
Limited menu, probably due to Covid-19. Service a bit slow even with more than half the tables empty. Food was good though and there is a kids menu.
e.
Great food, great atmosphere and really friendly staff.. our waiter was very nice and service was prompt even for a busy Saturday afternoon. It has kind of a vintage feel to it; there's an old motorcycle on display just inside and a huge American taxi parked outside! Been to this particular one in Bournemouth a few times now and will certainly go back!
I.
great food but they seem to always be mixing up peoples orders. my cousin asked for plain burger (no cheese) and my mum asked for cheese burger with salad and they mixed up the two, putting the cheese at the bottom of my cousins burger so he couldn't see it when he opened it up. my mum got a plain one with no salad. we took them back but still managed to switch them up again about 3 times. as i said, very nice food though.
D. A.
Lovely meal and good friendly staff
S. M.
Food was nice - similar to Frankie and Bennys but slightly more expensive. However, the service was a little slow and we (a group of 6) had to ask for things which we had ordered but had been forgotten (drinks and some of the sides we had ordered). The general staff were polite but the supervisors/managers seemed to have no idea what was going on! We could actually see our order sat on the counter, getting cold for ages, before they finally sent our waitress over with our food. It became a bit of a running joke on our table, guessing how long it would take for the 2 supervisors to figure out which order was for which table.....however, a couple on the table next to ours actually got up and left because their order was taking so long. The food was nice but be prepared for a wait. Incidentally, it was 7:30pm on a Friday evening and the place was only half full (if that)......I dread to think how long we would have waited for the food had the restaurant been busier!!
S. S.
Really enjoyed the food. Wasn't keen on the hot sauce, too vinegary but the burgers were superb! A bit noisy, hard to hear what waiters were saying but that didn't take anything away from the food. Well done
S. W.
Brilliant time, amazing staff and food, recommended going,
G. A.
Could of given higher if they had the food we wanted and food came out hot not luke warm. Cheese didn't even melt.
m. k.
We booked a table and got caught in traffic. When we arrived the place looked packed and seemed like we had missed out until a manager called (Harry/Henry) came straight away and lead us to our table including the warmest welcome I have ever experienced in a restaurant!The food and service was brilliant and can’t fault! We had the warrior burger and full rack of ribs and all I can say is go and try it 👌🏿
j. c.
Really impressed with the measures taken in the current covid 19 pandemic. Every other table was out of use to ensure adequate social distancing could take place. Staff were wearing ppe yet still as polite and efficient as usual. Food was delicious as normal.
N. L.
I'm a big TGI's lover, the generous portions of outstanding food means you always leave a satisfied customer. It's rare I have a bad experience at TGI's. I've visited the Bournemouth one around 5 times, overall they have been good experiences but there have been some negative ones.
TGI's offers a lively American themed environment, the bar always looks spectacular and the drinks available are excellent but quite pricey. The food is lovely, I tend to stick to burgers as they really are something else. When ordering a refillable soft drink be careful, when you order coke and other non sugar-free drinks you'll just get one drink without refills. This is fine but they often don't make you aware of it so you pay the same price for one drink. The staff are usually friendly and attentive but I've had some experiences where they aren't so active with the refills and generally didn't provide amazing service.
Overall the food is usually lovely and the atmosphere is brilliant, expect to pay a reasonable amount but it's worth it for the quality.
A. P.
Nice atmosphere even though it was a quiet Wed lunchtime. Food was well done and service was polite.
The meet and great area was empty on arrival and someone magically appeared after a short wait and our attempt to sit down. Apart from that it’s a good place to eat out.
J.
The food was OK, not as good as other TGI we have been too, way too much cheese in the seal burger which overpowered the taste of everything. Staff were friendly and we didn't wait long. I recommend sitting somewhere around the edge as the middle tables are a bit open and lots of people passing by on all sides.
L. P.
Good atmosphere, great food but the best bit was the staff. Made our night!! 😁
B. B.
Great food and atmosphere! Staff were really accomodating sure to my gluten intolerance.
M. W.
Staff were amazing ... food was amazing clean plates all round .
K. V.
We had a nice time overall, the food music and athmosphere were good, delivery a bit slow. The coctails were a letdown tho, I ordered "pretty and pink" which looked fantastic on the menu but in real life tasted more like some old style bubblegum with a bit of kids toothpaste thrown in.. had a similar experince with the ultimate birthday shake a couple of weeks ago. I'm all for experimenting with food and drinks but in this case it would have been better to stick with the classics!
H. R.
Tasty food, great atmosphere and an absolutely amazing first time in this Tgi Friday’s from ‘Sophia N’. She made our whole experience one to remember and even though it was very busy, her service was still spot on. A true credit to the restaurant and deserves to be recognised!
N. B.
Good food, excellent service. We were given a free dessert due to the length of time it took for it to be served. Manager was most apologetic for the delay but he did keep us informed, which was good.
A. L.
Many items off menu both food and drink
A. B.
Visited with friends for an afternoon snack , we had a selection of starters to share.
The restaurant was clean and we were served quickly. We didn't feel hurried and stayed for a few drinks, it was very relaxing.
I would return if I was in Bournemouth maybe for dinner next time.
D. H.
First time I had ever been to TGI Fridays, I came with a friend who lives in the local area. We arrived early on a Saturday morning, there wasn't too many people around so it was nice and quiet. The food was excellent and the service was as well. Every now and then whenever I am staying overnight in Bournemouth we will make a deal of coming here for breakfast.
S. M.
Very friendly and helpful staff, food was good but the portions were very small disappointed to honest.
D. D.
Nicest, cleanest TGI Fridays i have eaten in. Bournmouth staff are wonderfully friendly however the service is very slow hence three stars instead of five. Waited about 15 minutes for appetizer and just over an hour for our main. Food was good but warm instead of piping hot, it's a shame because Bournemouth TGI is really lovely even the toilets are super clean, it deserves 5 stars but service needs to be quicker.

A little expensive so not a place to go every week but the staff are pretty good. Though occasionally it can be very difficult to flag one down if you need to.
Great food though. The burgers are always nice.
F. M.
Came in with the wife, was seated swiftly. Food was amazing and filling, our server Rhys was great! Very attentive and welcoming, will be coming back.

Great customer service, especially from the waiter Joshua B who was kind and respectful the whole time.
w. b.
Had an amazing time at TGIs with my partner, great atmosphere, amazing service, brilliant food our waitresses Tash (funny, kind and gorgeous) and Ely (kind hearted, amazing conversationalist and also very pretty) were both amazing and the manager Henry was equally as funny and amazing with customers. Would definitely go back again!!!!
M. S.
We generally like TGI's and go fairly often to Tower Park, but really didn't enjoy our visit to this new one.
Arrival:
Considering we booked in advance for 5.30 and found the restaurant to only have about 6 tables occupied, why were we shown to the worst table possible, the one situated at the end and almost under the kitchen serving hatch. We found this a bit insulting as though the attitude was 'they're middle aged so they probably will accept the worst table without complaint'. We said that we would prefer a quieter table that felt part of the restaurant and were then seated 2 tables away from the staff service area! People who came 30-45 minutes after us were shown straight to those tables. Not a welcoming start.
Restaurant:
The restaurant was lacking in atmosphere and so cold that I ate my entire meal wearing my puffa coat!! The 4 customers on the big circular table nearby were wearing their jackets and some, their scarves too, during their meal.
Decor:
I'm sorry to say it, but I hated the decor! Some 'trendy' designer ideas that didn't quite come off. Red and orange upholstered armchairs (horrible cheap looking vinyl) mixed with old fashioned metal 'kitchen' chairs, all thrown together randomly under the same table. The red 'clubby' looking upholstered seating area was right next to this. Trying to be novel and 'different' but not in a good way. Most areas had attractive modern lighting but the large table in the middle had a totally different style (to clash with the different chairs) - a large, ugly, flowery art deco light, very old fashioned and totally unrelated to any other lighting around.
The restaurant has a large expanse of curved window all around the building. Some lower panels are still covered up as there are workmen still outside (understandable). However the upper section of this expanse has a horrible wide red and white stripe pattern, like a cheap American ice cream parlour, all the way around.
The bar is another style again. Very stylish, shiny and looks like an upmarket cosmopolitan bar. The nicest part of the restaurant and somewhere you would like to sit after work or at the weekend but I'm not sure there was much seating in this area.
Outlook:
Our table looked onto the entrance foyer that is still totally white and featureless, as it has yet to be finished. This didn't bother us but what we didn't like was the continuous stream of Deliveroo boys who came in on their bikes, just alongside our table on the other side of the glass. They proceeded to take off their cycling gear and helmets and sat down on the floor with their backs right up against our table (glass in between) and started their (presumably student) work on their laptops. We could read their screens, they were so close. One had a bike with a sticker saying F all along the bar. Not what we wanted to look at. Every so often they would jump up from the floor, take their delivery from our restaurant waiter, get dressed again and leave. Then other ones would arrive to take their place. It was like sitting in a third world railway station.
Food:
We always like TGI's food and cocktails. Our planned visit was brought forward as they mailed us a current Burger promotion. As usual the small print was copious (and small!) but the upshot was that there was only one burger we were allowed to choose from the entire selection - a cheeseburger!! Bit too mean I'd say!
Service:
The best part of the experience. Our waitress (a petite blonde lady) was delightful, friendly and thoroughly efficient. All the staff seemed very friendly. Even the one who tried to seat us under the serving hatch was friendly, just not very customer savvy.
Maybe the restaurant will feel more welcoming and warm come the summer. Not sure I could sit looking at those stripes again, though!
R. M.
Staff was lovely and food was great. Burger was massive !!
F. F.
Ate here on Fri 31st July. We were really impressed with the portion size of the chicken strips (main) as it was double the size that we normally get back home in Sheffield.
G. J.
Hadn’t been to a TGIs for a while, and now I remember why..... £4.40 for a bottle of coors light, a bottle! And £7.50 for a starter. Overall price for what you got was poor. Service ok and a great looking restaurant but no wonder it was dead compared to Nando’s upstairs!
V. S.
Excellent food . Did not have a booking but after a short wait there was space for us.
R. H.
In the situation are in at moment we did wait a while for table and only had it for an hour, and waited 20 mins for drink. Saying that food was ok but staff were great
S. W.
4 star juat because of the portions they are massive!
Now I enjoyed it but there are some points I would make if u plan on going:
The Christmas meal deal is good value
The food is all served mostly with whiskey, specifically Jack Daniels, sponsor?
The cocktails are okay but a little expensive and need some more flavour,. Somy advice would be just drink beer or mixers.
R. C.
Sorry for the lateness of this review, I don't have an excuse for it and I'm sorry.
I came in recently and Henry was simply superb from start through to finish with the way he welcomed, served and took care of me! Hope that this helps him out as a good review mention with things at work.
Thank you for your time - I appreciated it,
Raza =)
G. W.
Great experience at TGI Bournemouth, food had the real wow factor and the staff were superb with my godson, who really enjoyed the theatre of the restaurant. Boneless chicken with franks hot sauce was amazing!
S. L.
It was nice. We like tgi fridays. The food from the Poole restaurant was better quality. This restaurant in the BH2 is very big. Staff were verely friendly and helpful. They also brought balloons for the children after the meal.
E. H.
Friendly staff, nice food
M. D.
Not too busy at the time we were there, but it still took a long time from order to food. Naturally paying was fast. A nice place to go if you have a few hours spate and don't park in the NCP carpark underneath the BH2 complex. I would come back.
C. R.
Nice place with nice staff! Blonde/Yellow haired waitress served me the food and was very friendly, so overall atmosphere was lovely. Would eat there again
L. W.
Great food as always, good customer service and always really helpful with kids food options. Asked for something not on the menu and the kitchen manager came and spoke to us and was happy to help, no problems at all.
A. H.
It's ok very expensive for what you get. We had nachos for a starter and tasted like co-op nachos, ordered some ribs and they looked like they just came out of a fire. I dont think we will be going back any time soon....... but we will give it another chance one day.
K. B.
Had the ribs very nice it was son's birthday staff sang happy birthday to him good night
N. R. (.
Visited last Friday and was served by a lady called Sabrina. She was lovely! So friendly, enthusiastic and understanding. She made our visit 10 times better 🥰 Please pass this message onto her!
M. M.
Really quite good for family or younger generation. Lively atmos staff were actually friend and keen to serve and help. Fair prices also. Food was good considering this being a large food chain.
P. E.
Absolutely brilliant service the staff were friendly helpful and caring we felt like friends visiting rather than a customer
J. H.
food was average.. the men's toilets are disgusting
S. S.
Good food! busy place and service a little slow understandably
H. A.
My beef burger was too dry. Unfortunately this can happen with popular high street chains, they have to cook high volumes of food to serve customers and this can result in sacrificing quality.
B. P.
Came into TGI'S this evening and had food and a few cocktails with my boyfriend. The service was great and the cocktails were spot on by the bartender Dan. I highly recommend cocktails made by Dan at TGI'S. Thanks for a great evening out. I will be back soon for more cocktails and food.
P. W.
food was ok. just wasn't what I was expecting
B. P.
Turned up out of the blue and had an amazing time. The manager Harry came over and made a balloon dog for my daughter and Rachael was a superstar and made sure we had everything. Big shout for Each.
E.
Absolutely brilliant care taken with gluten free menu! They do burgers in a bun! Only a cealiac or person with gluten intolerance will understand! Thanks for a decent menu choice!
j. h.
Very friendly staff excellent food well worth the visit thank you to everyone at TGI'S

Good service, expensive food which is mediocre in taste and presentation. There's no real wow factor about it in my opinion. Its all a bit humdrum.

Super expensive for what you get and the waiting time we was told was very under estimated. Waited at a very wet and sticky bar to be seated at a table that was clear the entire time we waited .. about 1hr !!! And there wasnt anyone at the table we was seated at the entire time. Foods Ok
L.
Food was a bit cold when it arrived and had to go get our own eating utensils as none on the table or even offered when the food arrived. A little bit disappointed but was a good evening
S. P.
Very nice burger double stack with hot chilli chips lovely waitress well recommend
A. R.
Always love going to the Bournemouth bh2 branch, especially for the bar staff who are so attentive even when it’s busy. A shoutout to Dan what a babe I couldn’t decide on a drink he suggested I try an old fashioned. Absolutely AMAZING!

Brill restaurant with great food, good atmosphere, decent prices (not cheap but worth it) and lovely staff.

Best burgers with amazing coleslaw! Service was quick and very friendly! Will be back very soon for some more food and cocktails!
j. c.
What a shame..food had to go back twice and be remade.Ended up okay as handled well by manager Joe.For a place with such a great reputation which my family and i have enjoyed for many many years it really should be better than this.The place was over 1/2 empty as well...at least they reduced the bill.
R. S.
I didn't like the food, but the service was amazing. Thanks to the staff who helped us choosing and having a lovely lunch

Had the steak chicken and shrimp grill , took a while to get to us but we were kept informed by the waiter. The food and service was excellent.

Going to Odeon but had lunch here! Only been once b4 but both times it's been great. Clean resturant very pleasant and helpful staff. Food was excellent. Both times. Will be visiting here again.

Going into tgi fridays today with my boyfriend, we were sat at our table and we were served by Ely she was amazing, fun and talkative, she explained how good the chicken fajita is and my boyfriend ordered it and I had the double glazed burger, the food was amazing and the waitress was wonderful, we will definitely be returning.
L. C.
Fit for purpose if you like noisy surroundings and too specific a menu. Waiter was great. Don't normally tip but he deserved it.
V. R.
Staff were nice enough, however apparently you have to ask for the veg sticks that are advertised as being served with every child's meal....I asked 3 times.
C. D.
Delicious food, kind staff. Always great service whether busy or not.
S. D.
After a wait of 30 min ,in which we had a drink at the bar ,the staff were friendly and helpful ,we received our food within a short time ,steak cooked perfectly (medium )would definitely come here again if we came to Bournemouth again
C. H.
Brilliant service and great food
N. S.
Food slow to come out, drinks being forgotten about. Had to ask several times. Food ok. Little over priced for what it was. On the plus side great range of cocktails
a. j.
Very slow service considering the amount of staff on and ppl in the restaurant on a monday night .. tried to speed up and help by going to the bar myself but waited for 10 minutes with not a single bar man in sight .. the food was ok and staff were friendly enough and the price wqs reasonable for what we got so 3 stars is good enough .. if u dont mind waitng around then this place will be great for you
M. O.
Very loud and busy when we want on the air festival weekend. Staff were friendly but they forgot 2 meals out of 10 so we had to wait. Drink orders took about 15 minutes to arrive.
D. S. L.
A good, friendly and lively restaurant, on our visit fast and efficient service, from a friendly hostess. A good selection of what we british think is American food.
J. B.
Good food. Friendly staff. A few occasions where the wait has been about 15 minutes longer than promised.

Was OK, food was cold. Asked for condiments from 3 different staff members as they had all forgotten.

Went to TGI Bournemouth, was an amazing experience with amazing and brilliant staff, Elynor and Dan.
Couldn't be happier with the food and service, definitely deserves a 5 star review.

There was great atmosphere and ladies and guys who were serving us ;were absolutely professional and dedicated and " on this particular night their CEO and her assistance were present at the restaurant who i found utterly acting professionally and were kind and curtious to our group and others " I personally don't mind having a great boss like her ;food and service were excellent and disabled friendly;Best of luck for future and keep doing what you are doing and congratulations to all and definitely 5 star .
