21 years ago, TGI Fridays, the international casual dining giant, had its beginnings in Australia at the Jam Factory on Chapel Street. It’s been over a decade since I last came to TGIs, and there’ve been many new dishes added to their repertoire.

Loaded Potato Skins are filled with melted cheddar and bacon. Oily, cheesy, carby goodness. Spicy and tangy Buffalo Wings are served with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing. The Ahi Tuna Avocado Crisps have slices of blackened Ahi tuna on on tortilla chips, with fresh house-made guacamole, jalapeños and sriracha, then drizzled with a cucumber wasabi sauce. The firm slices of tuna are cooked nicely, but tortilla chips are almost fridge-cold, giving the dish an odd sensation as a whole.

TGI Friday's - Quesadilla w pulled chicken, melted Monterey Jack, caramelised onions, tomatoes, green chillies, fresh coriander, lightly panfried flour tortilla, served w sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, salsa ($25.50) — Quesadilla w pulled chicken, melted Monterey Jack, caramelised onions, tomatoes, green chillies, fresh coriander, lightly panfried flour tortilla, served w sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, salsa ($25.50)

We share a Jack Daniel’s Rib, Steak and Shrimp Platter, which comes with a half rack of pork ribs, 180gm char-grilled sirloin with Cajun seasoning, battered prawns, onion rings, vegetables and fries. The Jack Daniel’s marinade is flavoursome and the meats are tender. It’s perfect for sharing and variety.

The American menu at TGI’s is pricey, though the tasty small bites may satisfy. Be sure to order those potato skins.
