Visit & Vibes
Yip I headed back to TGI’s again with friends and we decided to take a unique approach by selecting two small starters as our main lunch dishes.
This time we sat at the back in the booths and we were very comfy and had a very good time.

The Food
I decided to have two small dishes instead of one starter and one main and this is what I ordered.
Nachos (solo) £8.75
Corn tortillas topped with cheese, pickled jalapeños, guacamole, fresh salsa and drizzled with sour cream
I started with the Nachos, opting for the solo option.
Upon arrival, the presentation instantly caught my eye, setting the stage for what turned out to be a flavorful delight.
The dish was a generous portion of tortilla chips, topped with a good amount of melted cheese, jalapenos, and fresh salsa. Although my excitement was high, I did notice that some of the chips were slightly soggy on arrival, which led me to wonder if they had been sitting for a tad too long.
The cheese was perfectly melted, the salsa provided a refreshing contrast, and the jalapenos added a satisfying kick. Despite the minor soggy issue, the overall dish was mega tasty and I would easily have this again

Hoisin Wings x3 £9.75
Chicken wings tossed in a rich, sticky hoisin sauce, served with fresh lime
Moving on to the next dish, I chose to savor the Hoisin Wings.
Opting for a trio of these turned out to be a wise decision. The wings were impeccably cooked, boasting a crispy exterior that gave way to tender and succulent meat within.
The real star, however, was the hoisin sauce that coated the wings. The sauce delivered an impressive amalgamation of sweet and savory notes that danced on my palate with each bite. As anticipated, indulging in the wings proved to be a somewhat messy affair, but the flavor was so irresistible that I didn’t mind the saucy aftermath.
Another solid winner…messy but a winner.

Final Thoughts…
While my dining companions also chose similar starters-turned-mains, their experiences mirrored my own, highlighting the consistency in quality and execution that TGI Fridays delivers.
In conclusion, my latest visit to TGI Fridays was an enjoyable experience filled with delightful culinary discoveries. The Nachos, despite a slight texture issue, managed to impress with their vibrant flavors, while the Hoisin Wings stood out as a messy yet irresistible masterpiece.
If you’re looking to break away from convention and explore a range of flavors in a casual and vibrant setting, TGI Fridays offer a tantalizing experience that’s well worth a visit.
