Tony Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I just checked the online menu... £8.95 for 10 potato skins! I'm not known for being tight in restaurants, but that takes some beating - the thick end of a tenner for a couple of spuds with cheese on! And what's with all the Jack Daniels ® nonsense too? I can't think of many thing less likely to entice me than fried food laced with whiskey. We've only been once, and frankly, it was pants. I see I won't be dropping anytime soon in future.

OwlsChick Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 Well Just to put an end to things i had potato skinz (5) for starters they was about a fiver Jack daniels baby back ribs (half rack) with that i got friday fries and onion rings (that fell apart) that was 8 pound something i also had a side corn cob which was a fiver. My boyfriend shared my starters, he had a jackdaniels ultimate burger, with friday fries and onion rings. which cost 12pound something i must have had about 5cocktails all at around a fiver. and some shooterz. all round very very very expensive night, but well worth it.

SHsheff Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I'm glad it was well, well, well worth it! I guess it was the company that made it enjoyable, because the prices you quote would be enough to spoil an evening if the rest wasn't magic enough to compensate....

MissGobby Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 i went there with my blokes mum and her friends, when the food actually came, it was hardly warm, so we complained and they just stood there as if to say "yeah...and what do ya want me to do?" , so we asked to see the manager who said he would warm it up! so basically he wanted to shove it in the microwave, we said no, it would have been more minging than eating it cold , so we had to eat it! and the prices, well i dont think ive ever had to pay £10(or around that) for a little dirty hamburger with a few lettuce leaves, i would'nt go there againl would rather have gone to McDonalds for a happymeal!

hotbertaa Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 TGI is in the wrong price bracket, I'm quite happy to pay £30.00 for a bottle of wine and meal for two, but what i got at TGI Fridays was a long way short in terms of quality. 1> My Wifes ribs were cold 2> The onion rings fell apart when I tried to pick them up (most likely re-heated) 3> This is my mistake, I asked the lady what the difference was between a regular and ultimate burger, i was expecting a shift in size, she said you get one extra burger in the bun, I didnt think much of this, but after eating an extra dry heavy burger I realised i'd paid an extra £2.50 for the pleasure. 4> The chips were chips, nothing different to your local kebab shop. All in all disappointing, I wouldnt have minded complaining, but who wants to spoil a night out with the lady? you wouldnt buy a ford escort for £30,000, so dont buy a burger here, save your money and go somewhere nice.

fnkysknky Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The onion rings at TGI's do fall apart - that's the way they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam @ Dearne Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I thought it was way too expensive years ago, even when I had some vouchers to minimise the blow!!! Never been back since and never intend to either. There are so so so so so many nice places to eat in Sheffield. All it takes is a modicum of thought and not to go down the same old route. Boho on Campo Lane is just one example. I pity the poor bloke who had to shell out for it all. Perhaps he has learnt a valuable lesson. By the way, why don't I find girls that are so easy to please !!! Sam:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
