Visit & Vibes

Today, I went to TGI Fridays with some friends.

I consistently have a pleasant experience here, but the food can be hit or miss depending on my order. So, I decided to try something different today to see how it turned out.

The Food

Lightly Spiced Shrimp £9.95

For my starter, I opted for the lightly spiced shrimp.

Upon arrival, it looked appealing and had a decent aroma. Trying the spiced shrimp on its own, I didn’t perceive much spiciness; however, it boasted a delightful flavour.

When I dipped it into the legendary glaze, it truly elevated the dish. Although the portion size was substantial for a starter, it lacked the expected spiciness.

Honestly, I didn’t detect even a hint of spice. Nevertheless, the standalone Cajun flavour was enjoyable, and dipping it into the glaze made a significant difference to the overall experience.

NEW! Fridays™ Glazed Chicken Burger £17.85
Lemon and garlic flame-grilled chicken breast coated in our Fridays® Legendary Glaze, Monterey Jack cheese, and crispy bacon. Served on a bed of lettuce, mayo, tomato, pickled red onions, and extra Fridays® Legendary Glaze on the side

I usually go for the beef burgers, but today, I decided to give their chicken burgers a try.

I’ve always enjoyed their beef burgers, so I hoped to have a similar experience with the chicken option.

When it arrived, presentation-wise, it was just okay. Before digging in, I noticed the chicken seemed quite dry. Despite my initial impression, I took a bite, and unfortunately, my expectation was spot-on—it was very dry.

The overall flavour was decent, but I felt a bit let down. Adding some of the accompanying glaze inside the bun did improve things, though it didn’t make it amazing, just better.

Overall, I was a little disappointed, mainly due to the overly dry chicken. I think I’ll stick to ordering beef burgers next time.

Final Thoughts…

Overall a hit-or-miss visit, one where I would have the starter again but the newly added chicken burger…nope! I would stick with a beef burger.
