Some friends and I recently visited TGI Friday's in Joondalup for a catch-up dinner. Two of us had never been to a TGI Friday's before, the third had been to this particular venue on a previous occasion. For those not familiar, TGI Friday's is located on the backside of Lakeside Joondalup, near the cinema and where the Hog's Breath used to be on McLarty Avenue.

TGI Friday's in Australia is based on American burger bars of the same name, which was started back in 1965 by Alan Stillman. Where beer is always on tap and the drinks keep flowing. Today they have over 930 restaurants in over 60 countries around the world. The venue does have a really good vibe, but the music was a little on the loud side so we had to repeat ourselves at times to understand each other. The tables also have good spacing so you won't always have to fight your neighbours to be heard.

We had a table pre-booked, so we were seated rather quickly, but this is where we encountered our first problems. We were offered garlic bread as a starter..... This was never delivered - not sure if it was on the bill as I never saw that personally.

Honey Mustard Wrap


The three of us chatted away for a while as we browsed the menu, but it took quite some time before we had a waiter attend our table to check on us. I could see a number of staff at the kitchen servery happily chatting away, scrolling through their phone and wiping light fittings as I was doing the look around trying to get a waiter's attention.

When we finally did get our orders taken, the food was actually delivered rather quickly, between us we had chicken tenders, a honey mustard chicken wrap and the Texas BBQ triple meat burger. The burger and the wrap went down a treat. As the one who ordered the tenders, I think for the price, they were a little stingy on the chicken pieces. The honey mustard dipping sauce they came with - could have taken that home bottled if I could.

One of the party and I enjoyed a few different cocktails during our meal and they were tasty, but it looked like only one person in the bar was mixing cocktails, so drink delivery was on the slow side.

Chicken Tenders


Overall the three of us had a lovely night and a lovely meal, but there are definitely areas of improvement for TGI Friday's in Joondalup. If you want to check it out, head to their website for more details, to book and you can check out the menu beforehand.
