TGI Friday's. What's it like?

[OwlsChick]

Of course they serve curly fries - and billy bear meat, and turkey twizzlers - you know, the kind of stuff kids love:hihi::hihi:

 

if you say so. just like they serve all the food on plastic plates.

No

 

i just love it

Being the pedant, Damons serve their food on POLYCARBONATE plates. Plastic to anyone without the necessary testing kit on their person. I assume this is so the aforementioned London Zoo employees dont break them when slinging them back onto the shelves.

 

Having said that the food on them is cheaper than TGI and just as average.

 

Both establishments serve brake brothers vac packed south african wildebeest steaks, and ribs coated with BBQ/char grill smoke flavour.

 

In short you would need to be bloody gasping, or sad and desperate for a birthday freebie before eating at either.

Is Damon's that place near Crystal Peaks?

I personally went to TGI's with my partner two weeks ago, it cost £56.00 for two starters, two main courses, and two coca cola's. The starters were ok and came pretty quick, but then the main courses took 45 mins to arrive, which i didnt think was very good. None of the staff seemed to know what they were doing, not a very good experience at all. I have visited Damon's on many occaisions for a good few years and have never had a bad meal yet, it is a regular eatery for myself and my partner and family, the most expensive meal we have had there was around £45.00 which was a lobster meal. So not bad value at all compared with TGI's. Just because the decor of Damons does not include complete clutter all over the walls like TGI'S does not make it a rubbish restaurant.

Damon's specialise in cuisine from the American Continent, with dishes ranging from award winning barbecue ribs and their specialty onion loaf to fine steaks, quality seafood, sizzling fajitas, ciabatta sandwiches and much more.

 

Damon's pride themselves on being one of the few restaurant chains that genuinely cooks to order, using fresh products wherever possible. Combine this with generous portions and a relaxed atmosphere and Damons really is the place to eat.

 

Damon's can seat over 150 guests at each of their restaurants. A spacious and comfortable lounge where guests can enjoy drinks both before and after their meal is complete a fine dining experience for the whole family.

Damon's is marginally closer to an authentic American dining experience, whether you want or like, whether it an objectively good thing is quite another matter altogether.

 

TGI Friday's is over-priced, over deep fried, ridiculously expensive in terms of the alcoholic beverages and all the walls are covered in counterfeit Americana, the staff are usually quite bored but feign cloying over-enthusiasm in what they believe to be the American way, that said if I had a serious hangover and needed some comfort food it would not be overlooked and that is not a sarcastic remark and the food, if you like that sort of thing is emminently edible, just don't go there with any great expectations.

[CaptainChaos]

I think inedible would be closer to the mark. I was cajoled into going back to TGI by my teenage son, £70 for starters and 4 burgers is a complete joke. I left most of mine, chips cold, bun processed ****e, burger, never been near a ****ing animal of any description.

 

In short very over priced and not fit to eat.
