Tgi Fridays Melbourne Central

TGI Fridays served crowd-pleasing American meals; from burgers and chicken wings to salad and Mexican. I’ve been here a few times, and while I found none of the dishes actually stood out (they could be pretty pricey also), it was a great spot for group dinners and informal gatherings. The venue itself was spacious, the ambiance was quite cosy and energetic, and the staff were pretty friendly.

You have to order and pay via your phone, which takes a long time. You have to order drinks separately. Some of our food came out with the wrong items ordered on the plate. They did remake the order. Our drinks did not make it to the table until after we ate. I had to go to the bar and ask for glasses and water while we waited for our main drinks. The food we got was good but overall the dining experience was average.

Don't order the pork ribs. As one of the most expensive items on the menu, I was completely disappointed. They were the thinnest ribs I've ever had and I got the full rack hoping for a good meal but it felt like a starter meal. After I finished I was still hungry. I would have been better off with chicken wings. Along with that, I ordered one drink that took almost 30min, it arrived well after my meal. They said they were busy but the restaurant was about 1/3 full at the time.

Really great food and vibe in the whole restaurant. The staff were so lovely and attentive. Definitely also recommend signing up to be a member on the app as they always have discounts and freebies (we got a free brownie). The only issue I had was the pasta we ordered was kinda bland which is weird because I’ve ordered this same pasta from other branches and it’s been amazing. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend checking them out.
