Last week, it was TGIF on a Wednesday!!!
I've enjoyed TGI Friday's many times in the past, but have not been to this chain in over 2 years. All I can say is YUMMMM!!!
I was taken there for my birthday lunch. That day, I had also signed up online for TGIF's "Stripes" Card! When we sat down, our server, Nicole, informed me that as a Stripes member, I receive free chips & salsa every time I go there! What a great perk! It was a HUGE platter of fresh, hot chips and salsa! Nothing "small" about this place!!
My favorite, decadent cocktail has to be TGI Friday's signature concoction, the Mudslide!! OOOOOhhh, a chocolate/vodka/Kahlua/ice cream orgasm for sure!! After indulging on a Mudslide, I was served a healthy portion of Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta. Spicy and heated, it was thoroughly delicious. But, I could not finish it, and got a "to go" box.
My lunch mate secretly told Nicole that it was my birthday. Before I knew it, Nicole and two other servers came over to the table, put a huge slice of vanilla bean cheesecake in front of me and sang their birthday song. OK... so, it's kind of silly -- kind of embarrassing -- but, I enjoyed it!!! Like being a little kid again!! Now, cheesecake is my favorite dessert, so I did not want to save it for later... I managed to savor each bite!
Overall, TGI Friday's never disappoints. The menu is expansive. The food is fantastic. The service is top notch. The Mudslides are the BEST!!!
5 YUMS UP!!! ;)
