Chiquito - Aberdeen - Beach in Aberdeen City

This is no longer fast food prices. £30 for a mediocre rack of ribs was ridiculous. This is up there with Miller and Carter prices with nowhere near the same quality. Personally won't eat here again.

Food was great as was service, but as for £4.25 for a tin of Irn Bru, really extortionate

good food very god god boy dada

The best place and best servers Megan and Sofia,very friendly staff! lovelovelove

It's just going downhill over the last few years. I will not be going back. The cost is now no longer worth it

The food was cold when it arrived

Food delicious , service lovely, helpful , friendly on pricey side, bit noisy but given quieter area

Isla M was a great server! Food delicious. So many vegan options.

Busy, not enough staff, over 30 min for first course

Very disappointed to be writing this review as I usually love TGI’s. However I had an absolutely awful experience here last week with my family. We were sat down for our meal just having received our food when one of the waiters came over to ask us not to do something , however it was less him asking and more him shouting at us and threatening to kick us out over a minor mistake which we corrected instantly. We apologised and asked him not to talk to us that way which resulted in him continuously walking by our table mouthing and muttering obscenities at us. After a few minutes of this we were fed up and left, having barely started our meal. As we left the waiter continued to yell insults at us, resulting in one member of our party leaving in tears. This experience had made me very hesitant to return to any TGI Fridays as I no longer feel comfortable if this is how staff treat paying customers. Thank you to the staff member who apologised profusely to us, you were the only positive in this entire experience. I hope the waiter got struck off as someone with that attitude should NOT be working with the public.

This was my first time here! My server, Cara, was super nice and made my first time really enjoyable! I will definitely be back!

Only putting 1 star because I can’t put 0! I had an awful time there with my family we were verbally assaulted and shouted at by one of the staff members over a small mistake he then continued to yell obscenities at our family even making my mother cry I would not recommend this place to anyone it is poorly run and the staff are unbelievably out of order it’s lucky I never phoned the police!

Very poor service Food is overpriced and average at best No atmosphere as the waiters were more interested in conversating between themselves

Lauren had fantastic customer service, even in what seemed to be a very busy day. She always carried herself well and had a lovely smile the entire time. All in all she made the experience worthwhile, and would happily visit again soon

Ruaraidh quite frankly popped off. He was very very attentive to us and made sure we always had a drink. Lovely soul, very good at his job!

How disappointing this restaurant has become. We are regulars and have in previous years be satisfied with our visits but this year it has become over priced, understaffed, dirty & generally unpleasant. Last night we waited 20mins to have our order taken then a 40mins wait for our food. We had a 8oz steak and sesame chicken. The steak was ordered medium rare and was served medium-well done. The new salad that comes with the sesame chicken is vile tasting and does not complement the glazed chicken. Why change something that previously worked? Tables all around us we left uncleared and we saw people leaving before ordering as the wait was too long and others having to box up their order as they has places to be. All in all we have no intentions of hurrying back.

Arif was a fantastic server, extremely attentive and polite. The building is showing its age but the food and staff are great.

My family and I came for dinner this evening, and I now wished we didn't bother. After ordering our main course, we were made to wait for our food for 45 minutes! I appreciate that they were slightly busy at the time, but when the food arrived it was ice cold! I'm not sure how they have the audacity to charge us £80 for such a sub-standard meal. I will definitely avoiding this restaurant like the plague in future. I'd rather get something from mcdonalds, better food at a third of the price!

Genuinely awful experience at Aberdeen Beach TGIs. Waited almost an hour for our food to arrive and when it did, every order was wrong or had an issue with. Kids hot dog delivered instead of a burger, swiftly replaced with an adults glazed burger on a kids bun. Completely wrong burgers for adults, and several sides cold. No water delivered for the table until 3rd time of asking. After complaining and asking for certain items to be removed from the bill I was presented with a bill for almost the entire amount as they had ignored what I said, and ignored the fact that 3 of 4 adult meals were completely untouched. We lift hungry and paid over fifty pounds for the privilege. TGIs used to be great fun but now the food is poor quality, and wait staff really don't care about you at all. Won't make the mistake of going again.

I have been coming to TGI Fridays and been a fan for many years. Not just this one but I try to visit one everywhere I go. Lately, I’ve noticed it’s been losing its identity. From the fact that the waiters are no longer “quirky” to the quality of the food. It’s just not tgi anymore. Which is a massive shame. Over the school holidays we have been 7 times. Unfortunately, the new menu came in recently and today we went to check it out. I find it appalling that this menu has even been released. Less food, higher price, lower quality. I was going to right it in detail but I find I can sum it up like that. While we were eaten a family and a couple got up and left after being seated. We over heard the family saying it’s just too expensive. I absolutely agree. You seem to be expecting a family of 4 to pay £20 + for a burger. For a family restaurant that’s absolutely appalling. Not only that, the kids eat free vouchers only Works one adult to one child now because some person has decided, because reasons 🤷‍♂️. At least look like you care. Anyway, after more than a decade my family have decided, although we can afford to eat here, talking into consider the food quality and the deterioration of the brand identity ( which affects the atmosphere ) we can no longer enjoy coming to tgi. It was a great couple of decades. But you are no longer providing what a family wants or enjoys. Apart from maybe your garlic fries 🤷‍♂️ if it wasn’t a small handful for the price. Cheers for the good times.

Great service from Arif. Staff were welcoming and we didn't have to wait long to be seated. Service was fast keeping in mind the restaurant was busy. Great job to the whole team.

Music a bit loud on my personal opinion. Because of my diet I didn't took advantage of spiced chicken dishes and burgers. Prawns was really good, portion size disappointingly small for price.House salad very small portion for £5 and really basic ingredients, tomatoes tasteless. Sober loader cocktail was tasty.

Not so much tgi Friday, more like can't be arsed Wednesday. Food was pretty poor, chicken burgers were tiny, kids burgers overdone

It took quite a while before our food arrived after ordering. It was not busy in the restaurant.

Was in for food last night with friends, service was OK but the food was cold and burnt and some of the food we couldn't even cut into as it was rock solid, took ages for the food to arrive. We struggled eating any of it. Really disappointed, was the same last year when we was in. Won't be back for a 3 time.

table had no napkins, steaks were very overcooked like burnt , cold food, took 40 minutes to cook a steak, never again

I love this place, the food, the drinks and the view always delivers. The waitresses are very kind. It is a dog and family friendly restaurant, they always take an extra step to keep the kids and puppies happy.

The staff that were there were amazing, but they just lacked them. Waited ages for order and for food but was lovely when it came.

Way too overpriced for the type of restaurant. The atmosphere wasn't the best because they played the worst music ever, and way too loud! The one positive was the servers, they were lovely

Prices are crazy for an average family restaurant. £20 for a pasta dish with three small bits of chicken on top and £6.50 to add a bit of garlic bread😮. We waited a really long time to get our food and the place was a bit dirty. Ladies toilets were minging. Would not recommend, just go to pizza hut instead

Very tasty and tender steak also generous portions of chicken

Came in for lunch with my family .I wouldn't recommend this place at all. It's dirty and has poor service. The food was mediocre at its best. Our food was not even hot when it reach us. This TGIs is not worth the bill. Service was very poor. Our drinks were refillable and never once were we approched. Our server was too busy flirting with the girls next to us. The bill took 10 minutes to even reach us with the place near empty. Atmosphere was not fine at all. There's flies , flying around and it was extremely annoying. Music was too loud can barely hear ourselves. All the tables were shouting on top each other. Another note. Clean your toilets. We were needing to change our babys nappy and the baby changing area was in the disabled toilet. Let's just say , even if I was disabled. I wouldn't even set wheels in that area... Clean the explosive diarrhea for goodness sake!

Always a good choice - very friendly and efficient serving staff, great choice on the menu. Highly recommended. Can get very busy, you may have to wait for a table

Had the best service from Heather tonight, she was incredibly friendly, conscious of our different needs, very informative of the menu, available choices and helped provide a positive experience for me and my 2 boys. Food was good, but as with all places nowadays the prices are higher. Big thank you Heather for making our night!!

Popped in for a few drinks the girl who served us was lovely, friendly and chatty. Great open airy place to sit with views of the beach. No waiting for drinks. Kid friendly has a family vibe. Dog friendly. Toilets and parking nearby.

The food was tasty but very small portions. Expensive 😊

Food was absolutely amazing,service was excellent. Heather was very helpful and attentive. Definitely be back for more.Strongly advise paying TGI Fridays Aberdeen Beach a visit for amazing food.

Can't say a wrong word, excellent service and food

Brilliant food, quick service, with the friendliest staff who can't do enough for us. Especially our waitress Tee. Caters to everyone in our family including our fussy daughter! Thank you

Big fan of TGI’s, food is always great quality. Reasonable wait time for food to be served after ordering too. Servers are welcoming and check up on their tables often, but not too much. Definitely recommend the calamari *chefs kiss*.

I am a big fan. I had an amazing service, the waitress was very helpful and kind. My fiance eats gluten free, but she was still able to eat a nice meal with us. My son also loved the visit and did not have to wait long for his food. Will definitely revisit, this is a really family friendly restaurant.

Online menus don't show prices unfortunately. Food and drink very expensive for a couple. If a family with kids eating free then may work out OK. Anyway we found it too expensive and told the waitress we were leaving. Not asked why.

Our server Teeb was awesome, and I really appreciated the kitchen customising my order. We had a lovely time, thank you!

Tee was very lovely, very energetic and smiley, has lovely set of nails and can make good conversation

Dirty tables and condiments trays. Terrible service. Ladies Bathroom had no toilet roll and they were asked twice to replenish it. Toilets were disgusting. Waited 45 mins for mains then extra 15 mins for sides.

Had a great experience! Nathan was fantastic and prompt at keeping us topped up with the bottomless Sesame Chicken 👍🏼

Food was delicious and brought to the table in good time. Our server Nathan was friendly and helpfull and even gave us a free dessert for this review.

Beautiful food, sesame chicken delicious as always. Cheese and maple loaded bacon fries were a real treat. Would definitely buy again. Nathan provided great service and was very attentive.

Stafff without respect. All girls…. 12.04.2024 20:50 pm

Absolutely mouth watering food, cooked perfectly, service was amazing, food was amazing. If you've not experienced any TGI Fridays, you should definitely visit. I promise you won't be disappointed

Had steak which instead of being medium rare it eas rare and chewy. Covered in peppercorn sauce which never asked for. Chips far too salty. Partners meal was just as bad. Overpriced for very substandard meal

The staff in this place are an absolute joke. Service was shocking. Although the place was almost empty we were seated just at the door so absolutely freezing the whole meal. The food for the price of it was not the best. Had I know that the £28 pound was nit actually an 8oz steak it pissed me right off. The presentation of the food was diabolical. My partners meal wasn't much better. So a meal for 2 with 1 drink each £88.70 absolute rip off. There's better places to go in Aberdeen do yourself a favor visit them instead and stay clear form this place

Had a great lunch yesterday at TGI Fridays beach boulevard. Immediately served and looked after by a few members of staff. All the staff were super accommodating and helped us get a nice lunchtime deal from the TGI app on our phones. Super customer service! Food was quality as always and recommend anyone to pop in if you’re stuck for a lunchtime meal or even a nice dinner. Big thank you to the team - Lewis, Adam and Tee for looking after us. You are superstars.

So, took daughter and grand children on Tuesday 5pm ish. Not a great eating out experience. When ordering lost count of items that were NOT available from the menu according to staff, everything from garlic bread to blue cheese sauce, etc, etc. Didn't realise my coke was free refill, sat with an empty glass for half the meal no offer from staff to get me a refill until I asked!!! Pretty poor show for a bill exceeding £100.

Haven't been into TGIs for a long time. Food was good, service was attentive. A bit noisy with kids parties but you can't have everything. Maybe go later in the evening.

Not bad time and not the worst heat very eatable thankyou

Never usually have a problem with this place take the kids here often. But last night was appalling. Food was freezing and portions were dire 😩

Found this place quite expensive.

Had booked in advance, went in and had to wait 5mins before taken to table even though only 6 tables were already taken. Several tables previously used had not been cleared and napkins, straws and food were lying on the floor. Place was cold and drafty. Our food was pretty good, ample portions and well presented. Coffees we ordered however took a long time to receive (our server said they were having problems with the machine) and were not up to standard. One was meant to be a latte but looked and tasted like a normal coffee. The other meant to be a plain white was virtually a black coffee. Service was fine though.

We were served by Josh who was very attentive, the only negative is the cost of TGIS it’s extortionate for the amount of food you get

First time using the takeaway option. Not the cheapest for a standard burger and fries, food was just warm. Overall all slightly over priced, average food, not sure I'd reorder again.

We used to enjoy a date night here but we won't be back every again, disabled toilets were filthy, they put a wheelchair user on a table in the coner where they had to push past a party of 15+ people just to get seated. My daughters food was cold. And 3 out of the 4 people we ate with ended up with food poisoning 🤢

Went to this Burger joint to treat the kids .. no burgers left.

Tired, bad food, staff were good. Long wait.

Best food in aberdeen ! the service and waiters are absolutely excellent! I suggest that you see for yourself and visit a wonderful restaurant, where you will be served like nowhere else at very reasonable prices!

The restaurant was way too cold. Some of the waitresses were serving in their jacket and even a hat. The toilets we as cold as outside. This ruined the experience for us. Looking around seeing the customers wrapped up and kids with jackets over the legs. My food was cold before I had finished it. The food itself was fine but not cheap.

Portions could be reduced slightly. Food is excellent but just too much. If portions were smaller you might be tempted to have a sweet.

The food was really good. The service was great, and defo would go back a bit overly priced, though. It wasn't really busy as plenty empty tables

Right, everyone knows TGI's for what it is, & sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's good, but this time, the food was ace👌🏼& the service was top notch (great job Lauren A). And I've not realised til now that, they don't have a QR code-order to your table-type service, they do full on customer service so, 5 stars for that, & for everything really😁

Topical fast food chain menu. To be honest, I thought it was pretty overpriced.

Had an amazing birthday meal with my boyfriend here. Tasty food and Ella our server was great. Thanks to the whole team for making his day special🤭

Really nice place nice food nice staff worth a visit

Portions sizes are amazing will return. Drinks cans I found to be expensive £4.30 Shout iut to Adam was very efficient and prompt with service .

This was the first time I had been here and almost 10 years and I must say the reason why I did not come back here was I had a very unpleasant experience unfortunately this is continued almost 10 years later the food was very bland for the price that they are charging for and didn't look that exciting staff were friendly. I paid £16 for a hamburger and for the exact same price I could have got a double and more delicious looking burger from Five Guys would not recommend this place to anyone family or friends do not come here it is overpriced way overpriced for the quality of food that they give you

Had a blast at TGI Fridays Aberdeen Beach, and shoutout to Cara, our awesome server! She made the whole experience top-notch with her friendly vibe and spot-on menu suggestions. The place had great energy, the food was delish, and Cara's service totally rocked. Definitely gonna swing by again for some good times and tasty eats! 🎉🍔

Staff were very friendly and helpful, always a smile on their face

Very restricted menu, cold food

Great service from Cara! Great night out

The food was good and the staff were friendly but everything else was mediocre at best. One of my friends didn't get his starter, whilst mine came late and likely only came because I mentioned that it was still missing when my main came. Oddly enough whilst the fact we were waiting ages for our food and bill the staff had plenty time to announce a birthday and celebrate it by shouting very loudly. This is something that happens all the time at TGIs and I absolutely hate it as it's completely disruptive for everybody else. If children were making the same noise for the same reason they'd be told to shut up and stop making a racket. Should mention that whilst it doesn't affect me too much the food is very pricey so I wouldn't recommend it if you're low on cash. Thanks for the food but I think I'll go to Pizza Hut next time.

Great branch. I love TGI. Great food etc. Service is a bit inconsistent here, especially when compared to the Union Sq branch up the road. Likely due to the location and inability to properly staff for numbers as I would imagine winter months can be inconsistent.

Food was over an hour late, stone cold, ruined a meal we were looking forward to after just having out baby few days ago Very disappointed with 1st time using this app

Went in for a visit at Wednesday lunchtime, when we arrived there were only two small tables occupied. We were seated very quickly and ordered our food and drinks. The drinks arrived quickly but sadly, this is where the positive experience ended. The restaurant was very cold, so much so that I had to wear my thick outdoor winter jacket and had to put jackets on my two toddlers. The food took a very long time to arrive, almost a full hour. We noticed that the tables before us and after us also had no food. When my ribs arrived they were barely luke warm. My wife's Steak Fritz arrived literally as a bare steak on the plate, none of the fries or vegetables made it to the dish, and the steak was 'just warm'. To the waiters credit, when we mentioned that the rest of my wife's dish was missing, he apologised and quickly brought out the missing veggies and sides. As the restaurant was so cold, our food that arrived just-warm quickly turned cold before we were halfway done. The staff seemed to be stressed and avoiding eye contact with customers. As a restaurant, it was strangely devoid of the smell of food and the background noise of customers talking happily. We noticed other customers also looking around wondering where their food orders were. This experience was a vast departure from our good experiences with this and other branches previously

Avoid if you can (Go to Union square instead). We came for dinner with kids. At the time there were only 2 other tables in the whole restaurant, waitress looked rushed for no reason. Daughter had to walk around the place to find someone, that could make her a balloon, only to find the staff sitting, with feet up, on their phones. Unlimited wings offers, gives you less portions each time they arrive. After covid, seems this place went downhill drastically. We got recommended from our friends to no go here, but we decided to try anyways and what a regret we did. Never again.

Not bad wouldn't be my first choice, bit overpriced for the fare served up

missing items, incorrect items and cold food fries as part of chicken meal missing and gave other cake instead of chocolate fudge fixation which was ordered i’d like a refund

Always my favourite date spot with my partner. Our server Tee was amazing! Give her a raise! :)

Great food and Cara took good care of us!

Took my noisy kids here and the service was ace - Ella was great!

Nice place, and the waitress Cara was lovely :)

Had a wonderful meal here food was good a service was excellent the waitress Cara was very nice and was able to answer any questions I had regarding the menu.

After sorta getting dragged along by some friends, was pleasantly surprised. Super busy, but Cara made sure we didn't have to wait long and seemed genuine in every interaction. After hearing plenty of jokes about the food quality over time, it was way better than I expected. Also, pricing wasn't too bad compared to some competitors too. I'd definitely be open to calling back in every now and then.

Erin was great top class service 👏

I had an amazing experience at TGI Friday's thanks to my server Cara. Her attentive service and upbeat personality made the meal even more enjoyable. The food was exceptional, and I highly recommend the Cheese Dipper Burger. Five stars!

Venue was cold , food could have been warmer, have tasted better coffees. Not an enjoyable experience.

This place is awful . The service was slow . We got juice , it came with ice , I had to send it back , we ordered coffee , it eventually arrived after 15 mins , I've never tasted such disgusting coffee in my life . Our food came out after 30 mins , luke warm . I was really hungry , so started eating it . The waitress eventually came across , and asked if everything was OK, I said no and explained . We were sat by the window and just up from the door, we were frozen , couldn't even take our jackets off . Everything the door opened it was worse . Won't be back . £17.50 for a pasta dish that was luke warm disgusting

A very disappointing visit here with family on Friday 3rd November. The service was awful despite the restaurant being empty. Not all the orders arrived at the same time or even when we asked for the missed food. The coffee came minus any coffee which I took back. I waited 20 minutes for a replacement which again I had to ask for. Would not go back any time soon.

I’ve ordered both the chicken sesame apitiser and as a meal. They will give you the exact same thing, exact same amount of chicken. It’s £17.35 as a meal but you’ll save a fiver if you order the apitiser with a side of chips and get the exact same thing. Total rip off.

Food and service were both good. One negative, was the middle of the restaurant (where we were sitting) was very cold. Think it was a combination of the door opening and air conditioning was on. Even when we asked for it to be switched off, that area of the restaurant was still cold.

We had a great time on our visit, the server (Sabina) we had, she was fantastic! Very good with both our boys, she was very sweet. Thank you for a great experience.

Had a great birthday meal here for my Son. Great party atmosphere & Staff very attentive. Will come back soon.
