TGI BACKGROUND
**************
Founded by Alan Stillman in 1965, TGI Fridays (which stands for thank god it's friday) was a chain of mixed sex pubs. Stillman lived in an area with a high population of women, but there were no places to be around them, hence opening the cocktail bar. It was aimed at young adults, men and women and was a social and trendy place to meet.

MY EXPERIENCES
***************
Although I have had one bad experience at TGI Fridays, they made up for it enormously by sending me a £20 off my next meal and free dessert voucher.
I am a loyal customer and have always had great service (bar one time when the wait was crazy) however as I said they made up for it wonderfully.

THEIR SERVICES
************
I recently went on Halloween to the Bluewater branch and had the most fantastic dining experience. All the staff were professionally halloweened up, and the atmosphere was amazing.
Also they do a birthday offer in which you and up to 8 friends get a free dessert, though the birthday person has to endure the BIRTHDAY SONG, where you are stood up on a chair in the middle of the restaurant, with a balloon hat on, holding your dessert with a candle in it whilst all the staff and other customers sign happy birthday to you. A nice touch, though traumatising.
Our waiter couldn't have done more to help us, and was a polite young man.
And as all the TGI I have tried, the staff are always more than willing to help


Recommendations on food
*******************
The steak is always delicious, I've never had a less than perfect steak from TGI.
Add the surf and turf prawns, they are to die for; marinated in a cajun glaze to give them flavour and grilled.
Jack Daniels Sauce is the nicest sauce I have ever tried, (even tried getting the secret recipe out of the chef) but no shop bought sauce tastes even similar.

For a perfect dining experience. GO TO TGI FRIDAYS!
