I would give this place zero stars if I could. Went with my wife and 2 kids. The place was half empty yet they wanted us to prebook. After talking our way in (since the place was obviously half empty), we regretted the experience and wish we hadn’t bothered. Three of use ordered the smash buggers which arrived bone dry, burnt and overcooked. Easily the worst burgers we have had in a long time. My wife had the Cajun chicken pasta. It was supremely tasteless and you could count the chicken strips ( these were also burnt and overcooked). The source was essentially coloured water, no peppers anywhere compared to the pic on the menu. Can’t believe this place is still open given the horrendous quality of food and sad atmosphere. Then there is the price!!! Roughly £20 per meal!! Which I don’t mind paying if some effort was put into cooking and presenting the food.

Avoid. Slowest service ever encountered run by teenagers who just chat and avoid doing their job. TGIs used to be a great chain when I was younger. Now it's run by lazy half arsed people.

Huge issues with cleanliness! Visited this restaurant twice in the last 2 months. Our visit in April was our first visit here for a while. We visited for my daughter's birthday as it's her favourite restaurant and we were shocked at how run down it was. The restaurant was filthy, there were crumbs on the table, no cutlery and sticky seats. The toilets were absolutely revolting. We made the best of it and hoped it was a one off. We fed it back and hoped it would improve. My daughter asked to visit again last week. It was even worse. There was blood on the toilet flushes and the toilets looked like they hadn't been cleaned in days. We had to get someone to wipe our seats down as there was something sticky all over it. The restaurant was empty at peak time on a Saturday so there is no excuse for how dirty it was. I fed it back again and they replied with a list of excuses about it being busy and people touching their windows, making them dirty. Sadly I think their standards have dropped massively and it's left me wondering what state the kitchen is in. We sadly won't return.

Worst TGIs I’ve been in had to seat myself then waited 20mins till I had to make my way into the kitchen to ask if I can order! After seeing the girls just having a munch in the kitchen and a chit chat still didn’t come to take my order but proceeded to talk to everyone else but us. Actually appalling service.

Great service today, we were greeted by Nicole at the door and asked if we had booked. We hadn’t, this did not stop Nicole from taking us straight to a table. Swift service we had drinks to our table within minutes of ordering, we went with the set menu, 2 courses for £22. The food was on point today, no grumbles. Our dining experience was flawless today.

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Nicole at TGI Friday’s, and she truly made our evening unforgettable! We were celebrating my son’s 10th birthday, and Nicole went above and beyond to make him feel special. Her energy, kindness, and attention to detail brought so much joy to our table. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcome and celebrated, and her warm personality added that extra magic to the night. Thank you, Nicole, for making my son’s birthday so memorable—you are a true star and an asset to the TGI Friday’s team!

The staff were friendly enough but clearly weren't enough staff in. There was a point where no waiters/waitresses could be found. We wanted a dessert but didn't want to wait around to order it let alone wait for it to be made. When trying to pay there was only one card machine which no one could find. I felt sorry for the waitress running around everywhere trying to get it. The food was okay, but TGI Fridays as a whole is quite expensive for what you're getting.

We had a lovely first course and drinks but things went downhill when we ordered desserts. The food arrived but noone cleared our first course and no cutlery was provided with the desserts. We had to get up from our table and find staff to ask for spoons and food to be cleared on THREE occasions but no-one came. The manager then came over with spoons but instead of being apologetic he was aggressive and rude. Our ice creams were half melted by this point and the managers attitude spoiled our evening. Will not be returning!

Wow.. That was absolute rubbish! Arrived today after booking a table in advance for my daughters birthday. Restaurant was half full if that. Ordered drinks (refill option) and food, initial drinks to around 10 minutes to arrive. Then left with no food or offer on refill drinks for over 40 minutes. Waitress then comes over and says have you guys not had your food yet?????? She then said she did not know why things were taking so long... What! Why didn't she know, she works there. After explaining that this wasn't good enough our food was out soon after, but some 50 minutes after ordering. We gave up soon after and asked for the bill instead of ordering deserts. Even trying to pay took another 15 minute wait after being told they were just off to get the card payment machine, and took me to say when can i actually pay. Lady apologised and said they were really busy, but i repeat the room was less than half populated. Communication seemed awful, management was non existent. The whole team looked like they had no leadership or clue to what was going on, during their shift. No discount offer to us for having to wait so long with no explanation and them knowing we didn't have a great experience at all. Really was the pits. Would advise.... Avoid this restaurant and its way overpriced menu. Things could have been better from simple communication and explanation of reason for delays, but there was nothing. Table next to us with a baby waited even longer and refused to pay... I would have too if i hadn't had all my family there who just wanted to get out.

I don’t want to put people off but this was a £190 bill for us and McDonalds would of been nicer, the salt 🧂 was poured on the chips and the smashed burgers were burnt, steak was over cooked I could go on!

We went to TGI’s in Cribbs Causeway for Mother’s Day. My partner is a huge fan of TGI’s so was very much looking forward to it. Although we arrived early, we were seated at a booth style table. Although the seats were comfy, the space was far too small with no space to move your legs leading to a very uncomfortable time. We were asked to order our drinks using the QR code on the table but this was not working. At this point, we flagged down a server who was called Jenelle. All I can say is that we were so glad that Janelle was serving us. She was super accommodating and couldn’t do anymore for us. Easily the best server in the whole restaurant! Everyone else just seemed rude and like they didn’t want to know. I’ll add that although it was Mother’s Day, it was fairly quiet in the restaurant. We ordered our drinks, starters and kids meals to start with. Our drinks arrived fairly promptly and as with everything that followed, a big smile from Jenelle. Our starters then did not arrive for around 45 minutes to an hour. However, they also wanted to bring us our mains at the same time (we had ordered these around 10 minutes after ordering our drinks, starters, etc.). Not only did they bring out the mains with the starters, but they were wrong. They had not taken note of allergies that we had made them aware of. This should have been a sign of what was to come. They delivered our starters and the side to my main. At this point, as I was hungry I did not complain but it didn’t taste great. Probably the nicest thing we had was the cheese donuts and nachos. The children were still waiting for their food and we were a little disappointed as we expected them to come out with the starters. Shortly before our mains were brought out (again), the children’s food had arrived. The burger looked okay but the pasta (tomato tubes) looked dry and quite honestly, looked like it had been microwaved or reheated. As a result, our little one did not have any interest in eating it and instead resorted to eating chips from our main meals. The burger that I had was dry and not very tasteful. The tastiest thing on my plate were the chips. My partner had the steak surf and turf and ate probably just a few mouthfuls. She said it tasted off, both the steak and prawns. She was ill later that evening. Due to our experience at this stage, we did not send the food back as we didn’t want to wait any longer. Would not recommend visiting this restaurant. The only saving grace was Jenelle. We’re really thankful for her service and felt that she was let down by her other team members. This place needs some SERIOUS attention!!!

Really disappointed with TGI Fridays. £18 for a small handful of pasta that was bland and barely warm, and the wings were basically just bones—no real meat on them at all. We were seated in a terrible spot right by the tills and the front door, with constant foot traffic and noise, and to make it worse, the chair was broken. It just felt like no one there actually cared. What’s even more frustrating is that when I looked at other reviews afterwards, loads of people had complained about the exact same things—overpriced food, poor quality, bad seating, lack of care—and clearly nothing has changed. It feels like they’ve just given up. Definitely not worth the money or the visit

April also took the time to explain the point system to us, which was super helpful.

What a shambles of a restaurant, no wonder TGIs is struggling. Overpriced food, understaffed. We were going to go for the bottomless wings but was advised not to by the waitress as there were only 2 cooks and 2 servers so it would be a long wait. The restaurant wasn't even busy! Looking the menu, the stuff is so overpriced it's ridiculous, no wonder the place is empty. In the end we paid for our drinks and went somewhere else. Very disappointing from a place that in the past has been great.

We booked a table for 2 at 3:30pm. It was super quiet only about 10-15 tables and 6 members of staff. We arrived about 10 minutes early and stood by the till for about 5 minutes before anyone came to seat us. When they came they didn’t even check for our reservation and just handed us menus and told us to sit at the nearest table to her. This table was not cleaned as well as having no cutlery, it was also wonky and we could spin the table top. After sitting down we were then left for over half an hour before having someone come to take our drink order. She was lovely and moved us to a different table as well as take our food and drink order and got our drinks out ASAP. Despite this we still ended up on a table with no cutlery again and after we finished our starters no one came to check or clear our plates but 5 minutes later our mains got brought out and even with them brought out no one took our starter plates leaving us with an overcrowded table. The food was delicious and one of the best burgers i’ve had in a while, it’s just a shame the service was so poor. We later ordered some water however never received them and at the end of our meal got asked if we wanted the bill with no mention of dessert or if we would like anything else. We paid with cash and gave all notes and we got told they had no change so it felt as if we were forced tip.

We went here for a birthday meal, where 3 people, birthday boy included wanted burgers. We arrived for our meal at 1800 to be told there were bo burgers left. How does that happen?! It's like a petrol station running out of one of its fuels. To be fair, it was a blessing in disguise, as the prices here were an absolute joke. One burger was £27!! Macaroni Cheese is £17, beyond that I stopped looking. No wonder they don't put prices on the website, nobody would go. These are prices you pay for amazing food, not some chain restaurant. Thank you for running out of burgers, it gave us an excuse to leave.

Had a new server he was very welcoming and helpful. I had smashed burger which was slightly burned on the edges which was still edible but the worst was the sweet potato fries they were raw in the middle, a very apologetic server got them replaced for me but when she brought them over they were burned black on the outside making them inedible not sure if the the kitchen staff are untrained in how to cook frozen sweet potato fries or they were making a point as I had sent them back either way, I think you need to train your staff on how to cook them maybe by turning your fryer down so they don't burn before they are cook on the inside!!! I can safely say I will never set foot back in a TGI Fridays again!!!

We had a table booked for 12.45. We arrived on time but even though it was very quiet we still had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. There were lots of empty but uncleared tables and It was very cold in there! Our meals came 50 minutes after ordering. We twice had to ask for cutlery. Very small portions. The meat elements were tasty but the fries were tasteless and barely warm. And why do you have light mayonnaise when the food is fried? Light mayo is horrible. The staff are doing their best under poor higher management. Very high prices for small portions. I have reactions to artificial sweeteners so had to have original coke which I was told was not unlimited refills. I would not recommend this restaurant unless there are significant changes.

It will be memorable for all the wrong reasons. Waitress I felt really sorry for because what we tried to order she had to say not available. For the children tried yo ordde a milkshake but none available as no ice cream. No ice cream meant a big reduction in the choice of desserts. Ordered corn dogs - none available. As the only soft drink option available was coke one person had to order tap water!! But worse than that was NO cutlery. Had to ask 3 times but then it was explained that they had to wait for the dishwasher to finish. We already had out starters in front of us!!! The quality of food was very poor and grossly overpriced. Not surprised TGI is in financial difficulty. Certainly won't be going back.

The staff were really nice in and of themselves. Service was initially slow. The table we were sat at was messy and uneven: the music was too loud and not to my taste: the food was overpriced and genuinely terrible. We ordered a nachos to share as an appetiser which was cold by the time it got to us: tasted odd. For mains, we ordered a basic burger and a pasta dish. Pasta was soggy and the supposedly spicy sauce had virtually no taste: the burger was dry, the tomato was floury, the bun stale: the fries were tolerable. For drinks we ordered two cocktails (BOGOF at £16 each, not exactly a good deal) and a Coke Zero. All the drinks were watery, and the cocktails contained very little alcohol so everything was cheap except the prices! For a sharing starter, two basic mains and three drinks it came to nearly £72. Maybe my estimation of price to value ratio is trapped in an earlier time, but it seemed extortionate.

Awful experience - suggest you avoid. Came here for a lunchtime booking during half term; slow to seat us but then they served our drinks quickly. However our food order, simply two kids meals and an appetiser, never showed up. I asked our server about our order, who said she’d go and check for us and then we didn’t see her again!! Waited a while longer with two very hungry kids, before having to leave having spent over an hour in the restaurant with no food (not even the kids snack pots that are part of the meal!) Would have liked to speak to staff as we left to explain how disappointed we were, but there was no-one to be seen. Overall a very frustrating experience.

Booked a table here during half term. Arrive 5 minutes before booking (4pm) there was around 5 tables in the restaurant, every other table had something dirty on. Waiting at the door for 5 minutes we were completely ignored by 4 different members of staff before 1 said the door host will be with you soon. After another 10 minutes I asked if anyone was going to see to us. The girl said we'll we have no door host today and very busy. 2 lies told as was told a door host will be with us and then there is no door host and I could see there were only a handful of tables in the restaurant. There was no attempt to even sit us after speaking to the girl so we left. Another guest even said to us "it's not worth waiting we've hated everything". Wanted to treat the children for half term and was very disappointed. Ended up going to Frankie and Bennys and was amazing. Will always chose them over TGI now.

I am truly disappointed by my recent experience at T.G.I. Fridays. From start to finish, it was a complete let-down. Despite having a reservation, we were left waiting for over 10 minutes before being seated. Once we were finally at the table, we were greeted by sticky surfaces, both on the table and chairs, which was off-putting. The situation worsened when a group of loud, swearing young adults were seated behind us, creating an uncomfortable environment for our family. The fact that they seated everyone so closely together in such a large space was baffling—it would have made sense to spread people out to avoid this disruption. As for the food, the calamari was passable, but the chips and dips were a huge disappointment. There were barely enough chips to share—each of us only got one. At no point did the waitress suggest any alternatives or upgrades, which felt like a missed opportunity to improve our experience. The burgers were fine, though the chips were overly salty. When I asked for a glaze sauce, it never arrived, which was incredibly frustrating after the staff specifically inquired about it. To make matters worse, the dessert service was a complete disaster. The wrong dessert was brought to our table, and when we pointed it out, the waitress admitted she didn’t know the difference between the items and seemed uninterested in resolving the issue. To top it off, my share dessert had melted ice cream with no strawberries—despite the menu clearly stating they should be included. Overall, this experience was incredibly disappointing, with both the food and service failing to meet expectations. The portion sizes did not justify the inflated prices, and it felt like the staff simply didn’t care. I won’t be returning and, frankly, I would not recommend this location to anyone. T.G.I. Fridays has clearly lost the standard it once held.

I don't leave reviews usually, however, I have to. A few months ago we came to your restaurant and I asked for ultimate american grill. There was no steak, but that wasn't the issue it was how blunt and rude the staff were, so left without ordering. Yesterday we went again the staff were ok, but waiting time was long and you had no steak again, that wasn't the issue the issue was the atmosphere, not one customer looked happy, the staff looked miserable. I felt like we were an obstacle in their working day, anyway i asked for ultimate ribs, got some chips and warm ribs, but was put off it didn't smell right. Tgi's in Cabot was great, Manchester city centre was where I first had a TGI's and it was spot on. Cribs on the other hand should have closed down instead of Cabot. Being out of food isn't the issue it's the fact you didn't discount or replace the steak with something else, the ultimate rib meal tho im sure there was supposed ro to be more than just chips and the ribs the plate looked empty. Can't believe I payed £50

Went for sons birthday. Had to wait an hour for our starters which were cold. We then waited another 45 mins for our main. Every meal was cold and unedible. Staff were friendly enough. Tommy was most attentive and went above and beyond. Definately need a shake up in the kitchen as that is where the problem is. Wouldn't entertain visiting again which is a shame as it used to be really good. Overpriced food definately wouldn't recommend.

We have always loved TGI Fridays and could be seen regularly visiting the Gloucester and Cheltenham ones until they closed them. But that's okay, we now go to the Cribbs Causeway one. Just as good and never disappoints.

Went there with family for a nice dinner of open wings. Spent the first 40 minutes waiting for the first round of hot wings and another dish we ordered. The second round took another 40 minutes and the wings arrived at room temperature! We decided to leave as the 3rd round of wings did not come and we've been in the restaurant for almost 2 hours by then. There were other customers who arrived and got two rounds of wings (still took around 40 mins to get two rounds) but relatively were served much quicker than us and that did come across as discriminatory behavior. I honestly do not think anyone is being held accountable for such poor performance as I experienced the same slow service every time I visited this branch. If you do not have enough kitchen staff , maybe control the amount reservations made? Although I don't think 6 pieces of chicken wings should take 45 minutes of preparation! Never visiting again as it's a waste of my time and money. Very stressful and unpleasant visit.

Absolutely horrible service. Extremely slow and not attentive. Worst place to order “open wings” when they are extremely slow and it takes them 30-40 mins to get one plate at a time. So you end up having 2-3 plates max for “open wings” which is ridiculous. Never again.

Loved it. Always a pleasure to come here. Friendly and helpful staff, and the place has atmosphere. The only down side is that my partner uses a power chair and the disabled toilet there is difficult to navigate too.

I would rate it a 0 if i could. Absolutely appalling customer service. Me and my girlfriend booked a bottomless brunch tonight at the cribbs branch and we had to wait at the bar to get seated for 10 mins. Then got ignored and when finally approached the waitress realised we didn’t even have the right menus to make an order ! She then left us for 20 mins before asking what drinks we wanted and didn’t get our drinks for 30 mins before asking. In the time we were waiting 8 staff members walked straight past and one girl was literally doing laps around the restaurant looking lost . When the food arrived it looked cold and sad , still hadn’t received our drinks . We took one look at the monstrosity and left , absolutely ridiculous! Not surprised it’s going into administration, waste of life and wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy !

Firstly, I don’t normally write reviews, but our experience today was not great, a couple of the waiters seemed very depressed, drinks never came, food came before the drinks did and had to ask again for them to be made. I didn’t think it was bad in here until the couple next to us waited for 1hr30 for there food. I asked one of the waiters for ketchup and was never brought over, when I walked up to them and asked she said to go and get it beside the till. If I come back, hopefully will be better.

I booked this place for a sizeable party a while a go, as I'd had a good meal there previously. however since TGI's recent financial troubles in seems someone has decided the best way to start rebuilding the brand is to gouge the customer for all its worth, while keeping minimal drinks and ingredients in stock. Now, first off, I'm in no way criticising the staff, our server, considering she was fairly new, and the first time serving a large party, was excellent. But, on attempting to order food or drinks, we found that quite a few items on the menu were unavailable and that there was no draught beer or cider available! (How the heck does a licensed establishment run out of Beer and Cider on tap early on a Saturday evening?) Both my Wife and I ordered the Mac & Cheese with pulled pork, however, what we received looked like an anaemic, microwaved tin of Heinz Macaroni and cheese, with an anorexic slither of pulled pork slopped on top, and for that we were charged nearly £17.00!!! Until things improve massively, i won't be returning any time soon!

So expensive for what it is but the real disappointment was the service. We had to ask several times for cutlery, several times to order and several times for the bill. Overall don’t waste your hard earned money here

Four of us went out. Hadn't been to TGi for about ten years and thought we'd try it again. Sharing starter was delicious,then we had the smashed burgers and glazed chicken burgers. Food came quickly but was freezing cold and tiny, chicken was old and cold. These burgers are selling out at £20. I could have had a similar sized and probably more tasty and filling burger from the saver menu at McDonald's. Cocktails are mostly ice/water. Won't be going again, probably ever. Table next to us had complaints every course. Bit of a shambles. Such a shame as this used to be a good place to go for chicken or ribs.

If possible I would ha e rated overall experience, and service as half a star ! Booked table for 6 o'clock waiting over a hour and half for food ! They messed up the kids meals and all staff did was provide us with a load of attitude! ( one waitress just walked away before even taking are order and did not come back took her half a hour just to bring us drinks ) Didn't even offer us a discount Absolutely ridiculous

We met the friendliest waitress here, Cheyenne. She was so very attentive, polite and friendly (she deserves a raise) You don’t come across this very often when you go to a chain restaurant like this. Our food and drinks came out fast. Cheyenne made our meal here very enjoyable:) Thank you Cheyenne.

I have to say that this is my first time in a TGIF in England and unlike their American counterpart this English TGIF experience was second to none. Yesterday 15th of January myself and my wife decided to get something quick to eat while on our way out for our grocery shopping, since we live in Cribbs area we have all the choices in the world. For her first time every we decided to pop into the TGIF in Cribbs since it was on her bucket list to try, thinking is Wednesday night things should move pretty quick…..wrong. Upon arrival we where greeted my other people wanting to dine, no front of house, back, of house, underneath the house greetings. They where busy and the Restaurant was less than 40% occupied. We got a table for two in less than 5 minutes but the vibe was that of dispar and no time to actually warm us in to our diner. Our food and drink orders where taken after 25 minutes of sitting with nothing but thin air in front of me to munch on. After repeated trips to ask to be seen by a waiter we have finally got ourselves a waiter, in a TGIF? Miracles happen. We have order everything together Maine and starters since we knew that that’s the only quick way out of there. The food arrived after one hour and 10 minutes of ordering and half an hour of waiting to be asked what do I want. Understaffed, not my problem! I come out of the house to enjoy something that the comfort of my house doesn’t offer, a social setting, different smells, lighting make it all a atmosphere. This was unpleasant, floor manager never apologised, gave us a 25% discount which was already a roll out discount for students so I already had that before I went in there. I have used this concept over in the States on numerous occasions, not to mention that moist of my teenage birthdays where sung by TGIF waiters and the vibe was way different. I come to a restaurant to relax and recharge after a long day, I left angry and upset, but with a half full stomach and the rest to go since the vibe and the atmosphere in the restaurant from the people that were intended to look out after you was the vibe of a wake. With this said, make your own mind.

Went there for dinner after a movie and I can literally say the best thing about being there was the waitress who served us, her name is Carys I believe,the small red head, very helpful and so sweet, she did everything to make the evening comfortable, we had to send her back to the kitchen twice and she came back twice with a lovely smile on her face. She is quality, keep her! I will be back with a tip for her too. The kitchen on the other hand is where I have an issue, and I noticed that this happened more than once where the food wasn't done the way people had asked for it, my steak was given to me raw...with blood still, unfortunately I'm not a vampire so definitely 0 compliments to the chef, however they did manage to get it the way I wanted it after about 15 minutes. The salad that was ordered came up to £17 and there was literally nothing in it that was supposed to be in it, the chef sent back a tub of guacamole instead of actually sending avo back. The chips were fine. Honestly unless they changed chefs there I wouldn't be back, the food is not worth what you get charged for. Literally if it wasn't for Carys I would have left. Waiting staff is great Chef is terrible.

Food isn't that great and that is even when they actually get the order right or even send it out. Waited nearly 2hours after many phone calls being told it is on it way and wasn't. Then the last 3 times the order has been completely wrong. I just don't bother now. Had enough of wasting my time!
