TGI Friday's - Nottingham
Unit 3, The Corner House, South Sherwood Street, Nottingham, NG1 4BY
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 Birmingham, UK in 1986, they now, like so many other American concepts, are to be found on a global basis and have 48 outlets in the UK alone. According to Newsweek and The Saturday Evening Post, the opening of the first Friday's restaurant heralded the dawn of the singles age. 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.Should you feel an American moment coming on, get straight into the mood at a TGI Friday's.

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 spinach and artichoke hearts coated in a rich and creamy cheese sauce, served with crisp corn tortillas.
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 12oz rib eye. 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 Coke, spin and pour. The popular drink was in fact, invented by TGIF. 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, just look out for red and white stripes and you are likely to be happy.

REVIEWS OF TGI Friday's - Nottingham
B Mason (10 November 2009)
After visiting TGI Friday’s for the first time, I am pleased to say that the service was second to none. It was brilliant and the staff listened to what we like and also offered us a choice of other things as well. The food was freshly cooked and neatly arranged on the plate. Overall I would recommend this place.
Rich (25 June 2008)
In my opinion TGI's is one of the more reliable chain American diner type places - the outlet at Nottingham didn't let me down. The food is not amazing, but it's good. The cheese burgers, steaks, chicken, etc. are well cooked, tasty and reasonably priced. When I'm hungry and want a good meal to fill me up I know I can go there and get a good feed. I know exactly what I'll get for my money.
