Tgi Friday's Coventry - Rugby

This restaurant feels like a taste of home. The service is unlike other UK establishments, as they actually check up on you here. The drink resembled a sweeter version of the US Long Island, which was not entirely to my liking. The food was served promptly and at a good temperature. The only drawback was the milkshake, as I prefer mine thick and chunky, whereas this one was too thin for my taste.

The atmosphere at this restaurant was wonderful and the staff were friendly and informative. I have never been disappointed here. Last night, we celebrated a birthday with a group of 10 and the staff, particularly the ginger floppy haired guy with glasses, were attentive and ensured we got the best value for our money. We had a voucher that entitled us to free cocktails for the birthday celebration, as well as a 2 for 1 cocktail offer on select drinks. The waiter patiently explained everything multiple times, despite the confusion. I ordered the BBQ Joe hot dog for dinner and it was delicious.

The server was very friendly, but unfortunately the food was a letdown. It seemed like the food had been sitting in the kitchen for too long before being served. The nachos had melted cheese but were cold, and the burger, although it looked promising and great, was dry. There is definitely room for improvement. However, the ribs were good. I would recommend trying the apple crunch waffle pudding, which was very delicious. It was complimentary due to the issue with the burger.

Chains. I always talk about them. Love them or hate them, they are here and here to stay. They are both good things and bad things. If you walk into a good chain anywhere around the world and they serve you food that you had thought of before setting foot on the premises at a reasonable price with service that makes you smile what's wrong with a chain? On the other hand, I hate to see chain stores and restaurants, replacing one of a kind unique places. So where does TGI Fridays fall on the spectrum? Will with this branch in particular, I had an absolutely wonderful night here! The cocktails were big and the cheap here, just like I like my...... oh never mind. Even though we were a rather rambunctious group, the staff took us with good humour and even got excitable with us at some points. They took some mild teasing and battered it straight back at us, creating a welcoming good vibe, which can be sometimes hard to do with a larger table of people. The food I had here was not exactly cordon bleu. Nor was it innovative. But did I enjoy it and find it good value for money? Most definitely. I did. And that's really what matters doesn't it? If you had a great night in a place and felt that it was reasonable value for money what is not to like about that?

I love TGI Fridays, the menu is excellent, the food is excellent and the service is always excellent. I usually have the Ribs or one of the Burgers. The starters and cocktails are great, and TGI's menu always offers huge variety at a reasonable price. Parking can be a bit tight, particularly on Thurs-Sat evenings.
