TGI Friday's - Glasgow Description
Should you feel an American moment coming on, get straight into the mood at a TGI Friday's. First thought of in New York in 1965, introduced to UK in 1986, they now, like so many other American concepts, are to be found on a global basis and have 45 outlets in the UK alone.
In many ways, TGIs are more representative of the American approach to eating out than some of their imitators. Their food is fresh, the portions generous and the cocktail list exhaustive. They also tend to represent the all-American classlessness that can produce a meal at any time, for any social group, for any reason, under the same roof, without a problem.
So what's on offer? The quick answer is, it depends rather on where you are, as menus do vary from one restaurant to another, but the essential message stays the same - American grub, fella! Appetizers - no starters please - could include Jack Daniel's wings, chicken wings coated in Jack Daniel's sweet 'n' smoky glaze, or hand battered button mushrooms and a South-West potato twister, golden fried and topped with spicy queso.
For a group assault try the Times Square big share, more of Jack Daniel's wings, cheese and bacon skins to the very brim, with crispy breaded mozzarella dippers and served with a battery of accoutrements.
The steaks are awesome, topping out with a 16oz T-Bone. A range of burgers, ribs, chicken, fish, sandwiches, fajitas, salads and pasta embraces virtually every known twist in the repertoire of American cuisine. Chocolate fudge fixation perhaps sums up best, but by no means exclusively, the TGI approach to desserts.
From a list of over 500 cocktails, all mixed with exuberant charm, let's take just one. You thought Long Island Iced Tea was something polite Americans sipped after some gentle sailing? Think again. Vodka, gin, rum and orange liqueur, topped up with Pepsi, spin and pour. As with all cocktails you can choose between regular or ultimate, no questions asked. Beer, wine and soft drinks cover enormous range and they also offer good coffee.
It is not important which outlet of TGIF you visit, for if you enjoy the American style of eating, you are likely to be happy.

Your Reviews of TGI Friday's - Glasgow
Kirsty (24 September 2007)
How good the food and service is depends on what time of day you go. After six p.m. at weekends, you not only have to wait an hour or more for a seat, but the food arrives tasting as though it has been re-heated. The waiter/waitress will be chirpy (forced) as he/she is busy. Service will be slower. If your order is wrong, don't expect an apology with your replacement, even when you complain to the manager. TGIF’s in Braehad is hundred percent better - the manager is much more on the ball.
