The food here you can never go wrong not ever the cocktails but sometimes you have to wait a while to get yourself a table. But the service has been amazing everytime I'v been here
Firstly, I just wanted to explain the title. It is obviously me saying that I was fond of the food, but it is also a nod to what I associate TGI Fridays with. The Covent Garden was always full of theatre with bartenders juggling glassware, bottles and ingredients. Flaring takes some training and it can either be excellent to look at or a tad embarrassing when a bottle ends being a pile of broken glass on the floor.

TGI's in Westfield does not appear to be cut from the same cloth. There was not one bottle tossed in the air during our viist. That said, it could be because it was lunch time on a Sunday. With no flair show, what else was there? Well I'll tell you, some great tasting food and excellent service. The team are young, probably students, so you would think they do not have the finesse of a seasoned waiter/ess. Our waiter, Durell, put that thought to rest with charisma and slickness.
We were in a great mood with the lovely weather and he encouraged that to continue with friendly upbeat service. As if that was not enough, i cannot begin to describe how tasty the food was. I ordered the Jack Daniels crispy duck on a hot skillet with garlic mixed peppers and onions. This came with warm tortillas. OMG. The duck meat was well seasoned and succulent melt in the mouth goodness. It fell off the bone with ease. Eleanor had the Garlic chicken with cos lettuce in a Caesar dressing with croutons, heritage tomatoes and regato cheese. To get her carb fix, she had a side of loaded potato skins with cheese and bacon.
I have thought about that duck a lot and when I look the picture I took, my mouth literally waters. I count the days until I get back there and do this all over again. To be fair, I should try something new as I am sure everything on the menu is just as good, but that Duck tho. Wow. Oh and a big thank you to Durell for appreciating our dancing to the cool music they play.
Really good burgers and things on the menu. Been there in 2010 but got time now to reviews all this must try there food it's worth it . Keep it up guys

My 19th birthday, not exactly a milestone birthday but it will be remembered by this milestone; of me visiting a TGI Fridays in England for the first time (I have experienced the true TGI Friday's in America). Lets start with the location; set in a prime location within Westfield, Stratford the restaurant has a nice American Diner theme running throughout and has a quirky feel about it, with a yellow cab located in the outside seating area.
Anyway, enough of the location and down to the juicy good bits (the food). American's are known for their large portions of food and this place doesn't let you down in that respect. You can't go to TGI's without getting a burger, so I did this without hesitation and got the Jack Daniel's burger. Now the only bad thing about the food was that I still had some on my plate by the end. A huge burger and a large side of chips was just too much for my non-American stomach. If your not a big burger fan then the next best thing has to be the ribs (another American favourite), if you take a look at the photo attached, I'm sure you'll agree with me. Although I didn't order this for my main, I made my girlfriend 'share' some with me.
If you are looking for a reasonably cheap, filling meal then this is the place you should visit this evening. However, do book in advance (especially over the weekend), having lived close to Westfield for over a year, this place becomes ram packed with foodies just like me and you.
One of my favourites places to have a quality "american" food experience. the overall "western" ambiance and decoration almost makes you forget that you are still on london.
Regarding the food, I definitely recommend the sweet potatoes fries, if i had to put a word on them: "Brilliant !". Moreover, the chicken and bacon burger was fried on point. I would also recommend trying some of their fresh and fruity cocktails.
Final verdict: good experience, you definitely get what you pay for.
Food and cocktails were amazing. We left overfilled. Nice music made the atmosphere very enjoyable. The waiters were a bit slow and a bit confused about setting up my partner with a wheelchair
We ate here on a tuesday evening. Waited for a couple of minutes to be seated.
We ordered the sirloin steak, full rack ribs, mozza sticks? And a kids meal pasta.
The food tasted great especially the steak. It was soft and the garlic mash is so tasty. Best potato mash!
The ribs is cooked perfectly and very tasty as well.
Service was great despite I know they seem to be short in staff.
The one assisting us is Josiah. He was really pleasant and nice.
We also got a free kids meal coz we ate on 4th july as part of there promotion.
Will definitely go back.
Nice chain restaurant. We went at lunchtime on a Friday (18.08.23). Service a little slow, even in bringing the bill ! Minus points were minor.....menus were sticky on the cover with BBQ sauce, and even the replacement had BBQ sauce inside!
Front of house hadn't read my special request when booking in terms of table location, but once this was pointed out he graciously conceded.
Burgers were very tasty and well cooked. We had the Messy cheeseburgers. Waitress was friendly and clearly experienced. Good vibe at this eaterie. Definitely recommended!!
I took my brother and nephews here for dinner between Christmas and New year. There was a bit of a queue to get in and it seemed to take forever. We couldn't really tell why it was taking forever either as the restaurant was half empty and there seemed to be plenty of staff floating around. When we were finally seated we discovered that they were only using half the restaurant. Again it took quite a while for them to take our order. The waiter said it would be around a 25 minute wait for food so my brother took one of the boys to the Lego shop during the wait. The food actually came out before they were back and they were kind enough to pop theirs back under the heat lamp until they got back. And they kept their eye on us and bought the food out as soon as they spotted they were back.
So back to the food....we ordered:
1x hot dog which came with a side of chips and corn
1x pasta (which didn't come with anything so I got him some garlic bread to go with)
2x sesame chicken strips and we asked if we could upgrade our side to dirty fries and they said we could and it was well worth it!
The kids meals came with a fruity number, my brother had a can of monster (they didn't have any fizzy drinks working that day) and I had some yummmy cocktail. I forget what it was called but after a long day mooching around London it was beautiful, it was delicious. I was actually really impressed with the food. Everyone cleared their plates!
The staff were helpful once we were eventually seated and served. The toilets were a bit nasty and you had to walk through a bunch of staff sitting around eating burger king to get to the toilet which didn't look great considering the wait we had just experienced.
Total bill came to just over £70.
Made the girls at the entrance laugh by running in like I was magnetized by the place! Yeah, atmosphere is really cool, music is pretty good, the beer is cold, the food is hot and delicious - can't wait to tuck in. I'm here on my J's but this is probably the kind of place you go with a group of friends. I'd definitely recommend it and we'll definitely be visiting again in future.
We came here just expecting a basic meal but the staff were so welcoming and friendly, and the food was seriously amazing. I had a candle at our table, that I had purchased, and one of the staff actually offered to light it for me which was really sweet. So we had a nice candle lit meal and the waitress was brilliant and attentive, friendly and smiling, happy to assist. It was just brilliant.
I love the food at tgi’s. The staff are polite and the place is clean. Sadly on this occasion they give you an offer then don’t have the food you would like. Good atmosphere.
This is my favourite TGI Fridays. Made a lot of good memories here over the years. Most recently, I visited in December.
I'd built up a lot of stripes so was able to get a full surf and turf for free. It was also my partner's birthday so he got a free dessert. The food took a little while to come out, but I was really impressed by the waiter who was polite and attentive, and also remembered all our orders without writing anything down. He didn't even have to write down the code from the stripes or voucher used, he just remembered the numbers. What a memory!
As always, the food was great, drinks were great.
