    Really bad, shockingly bad, took 40 mins to get a drink, tables not laid, the most dullest looking burger for £15.50. They charge premium prices but definitely do not back it up with the quality of food nor the service. The staff all looked frustrated/angry/annoyed. Girl serving us chastised me for getting my own cutlery from another table because there was none on our 'ready' table. I tip well and she lost out on £20. Avoid

    Nice place and convenient to the Travelodge upon which we were staying, as we hadn't booked we were placed near the toilets, not great! Looking out the window you can see multiple rat traps, perhaps they could consider hiding these out of customer's sight. Antonio, I believe was his name was a superb waiter and making sure we had enough drinks. Food was nice, just perhaps too much butter on the Philly Cheese steak for my liking and the food and drinks slightly pricey for what you get.

    Slow, slow service. Place looks a bit unloved and needs a revamp really. Kids enjoyed the food and experience though.

    Really friendly staff. Food is lovely and portion sizes are perfect two. Food came fast and staff were great with checking on us and refilling bottomless drinks. Would recommend 100%

    The place has gone down hill. Staff seem friendly but when they’re not serving they’re stood around on their phones. Came in with friends and we waited an hour and a half for 3 meals where people who came in after us got their food before us!? I asked for a burger from the menu with was meant to have 2 patties so when it came i told the waiter and they said that it was an option to have the extra patty which they never asked me. The place is dingy and needs renovating i’m not happy with my experience. However the food was ok

    Attended TGI Sale for a table for 3 people and was told it would be a 10 minute wait (arrived around 16:50) Fine with this, said we would wait at the bar and have a drink. 10 minutes waiting to be served at the bar, another 30 minutes still waiting to be seated. Once seated, no1 took a drinks order or a food order after 20 minutes so we walked out. Appreciate the staff are young but for a Saturday, it looked to be short staffed.

    The starters and the dessert were lovely but the mains wasn't for me it was undercooked, bacon to crispy and to much salad. The chips were ruined by the amount of salt that was on it. Its a lovely place with very good service really polite and helpful staff

    We popped in here for a few starters to share and a couple of drinks. It was busy and gave the restaurant a nice atmosphere. The waitress that looked after us was great & the food was as good as what you'd get at any TGI Fridays.

    We went on Christmas eve as a group booking and really enjoyed it. We normally go to the Trafford centre one but didn't want to face it on Christmas Eve so took a chance with the restaurant. The staff were fun and friendly, the food delicious, and we had a great time. Shout out to the door host who made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. I think she said her name was Becca. She was only young but was very professional and friendly. Seated us at the bar to get a drink while we waited for our table and then came and got us when our table was ready. Always with a smile. The place was very busy, but everything seemed to run really well and our food came promptly.

    Had a lovely meal with my daughters and partner.. the jack Daniels sesame chicken was so tasty.. the children loved there mocktails and dinner espially the pudding.. prefer to go to the one in sale as its not rammed and over busy... served straight away. The staff are friendly and welcoming

    My wife and I took our girls to celebrate booking a holiday in the U.S. The food was great. "Nicely American" for want of a better phrase. Tasty and reasonable price. The place was very busy (and so quite noisy, hence only 4 out of 5 for the atmosphere). But the team were on top of it with not long to wait for food. Great job. Our 'server', Savannah, was brilliant. So friendly, helpful and polite. Very attentive without smothering us. I noticed every time she passed our table she had a quick look to see if drinks needed refreshing, where we were at with food, etc. She (like the rest of the staff) were working really hard. Really enjoyed it and great food with great service made me want to go back again soon. Thanks!

    Good Friday evening dinner with family at TGI Friday. We wanted to have some fast food with some American ambience which this place has got. I ordered Red Hot Grilled Chicken burger with fries and my wife ordered Texmex Salad 🥗. Kids meal came free with each main meal. Everything was great except my burger. The chicken in the burger was overly cooked, which made the taste bitter, very dry and hard. The burger didn't have any flavours. I had to ask for a hot sauce separately as no taste in the burger. I wouldn't recommend this burger item to anyone if it's made the same way. Rest everything was fine. Sharing some pictures.

    Huge delays, the restaurant was freezing. Food cold and yet over cooked. For the price you expect better. Isn't the first bad meal here . Staff stood about chatting so wasn't busy and they seemed to concentrate on deliveries rather than customers in the restaurant .very dissatisfied, especially when it used to be amazing.

  • 4/5 beem8 9 months ago on Google
    Service was excellent. Some chicken was slightly on the dryer side, but overall the taste was great. Dessert was also great but the food filled us well on it’s own. Staff were kind & friendly.

  • 4/5 Paul G. 10 months ago on Google
    TGIs Sale used to be a very busy bar! Post covid it seems to have large quiet gaps! But they're not doing anything essentially wrong! They have to staff accordingly so even a small rush sometimes will result in a lengthy wait at the bar! But still fun ,friendly and well priced!

  • 5/5 Megan Luka F. 9 months ago on Google
    5 stars! Excellent service from Taylor and he had an excellent birthday singing voice. Perfect food & drinks. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Anthony T. 9 months ago on Google
    We have been to quite a few TGI Fridays, this one was by far the best for service and quality of food. Very impressed. Thanks to our waitress,she was excellent.

  • 5/5 Adrian D. 9 months ago on Google
    Returning to TGI's for the first time in a long, long time, I wasn't sure what the food and experience was going to be like. It was great. The food was excellent. Everyone in our group agreed. Me, I had a plate full of hoisin chicken wings, amongst other things, and I could live on them for the rest of my days! That's some tasty food. Beautifully messy. But who's watching? 🤣

  • 5/5 Pete R. 6 months ago on Google
    Had the fantastic meat platter, the food was incredible! Our waitress Savannah was so helpful and efficient and always kept our drinks topped up, a true credit to TGI’s Just a shame prices have increased so much due to cost of living (4 mozarella dipper starter is now £9.80 compared to around £5 just a few years ago) otherwise we’d love to come back much more often! Highly recommended! 🤩

    Booked a table for 7.30 had to wait half hour for table to be seated on opposite side a restaurant which was completely empty, so why the wait,,,,the servers were great when they eventually arrived , food was good , over priced some over salted so if your watching salt levels I'd say when ordering

    The usual expectations of a TGI, all good ...

  • 5/5 April F. 5 months ago on Google
    Our regular and Connor on this occasion went above and beyond! With my fussy food order and drinks. Splendid time thanks to him. 👏🏼

  • 1/5 William H. 1 year ago on Google
    We arrived without a booking and were politely asked to wait to be seated. After a short wait someone came over and said they were not accepting walk ins. We then saw tables available online and asked if we could book a table however the answer was the same.

  • 1/5 Jonathan A. 1 year ago on Google
    In all my previous experience, TGI Fridays was good food but very expensive. Sadly the one in Sale is now just very expensive. The staff were willing but very young and inexperienced. We ordered three cocktails, two of which were actually unpleasant. How can you make strawberry daiquiri taste bad??? The food was average at best, a burger with pulled brisket had the tiniest amount of pulled brisket imaginable. The little sauce pots were under half full. All in all extremely disappointing. They then neglected to apply the midweek cocktail discount so £129 for a very poor meal for three.

    Nice venue easy parking. Good staff looked after us well. Unfortunately value for money was poor, over £16 for a very tough over cooked burger with a chilli on a stick. The plate was very small and food was toppling on to the table. Hope a one off.

  • 4/5 Amie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was great especially the Fridays glazed chicken. Service was a little slow but the main waiter was amazing and so friendly. He even brought us extra jd sauce as we said we liked it so much.

  • 2/5 John B. 2 years ago on Google
    Been some time since we was at tgi Fridays, we still wasn't happy. Yes we booked in and got our table fast, but we was cold while waiting, starter was nice and hot, when we got our mains my wife order the Lemon & garlic chicken, wheres the chicken lol. I order the Steak med rare. The steak I wasn't happy too chewy had about half of it just left rest of the food. That was a big let down couldn't wait to get out.

  • 4/5 Kayleigh B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love food and service was great. Can be quite noisy though with music and blenders going so if you have children with sensitive hearing like mine (autistic/hyperacusis) I'd bring ear defenders. Been a few times and would go again.

  • 4/5 UmperLumper1968 2 years ago on Google
    Apparently very understaffed (as are lots of other places) but fast, friendly, professional service from the female servers. The receipt said Caitlin as our main server and if this is correct she was exceptional

  • 3/5 Judith Van s. 2 years ago on Google
    I haven't been here for years, but the quality of the food used to be much better.

  • 5/5 Jacqueline G. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible arrangements on feasting out, agreeable help and above all truly delicious food!! I was hoping to need to sit tight for administration because of the enormous match on this evening and how bustling it was, however I was agreeably amazed! Chicken noodle salad was delightful regardless of whether somewhat zesty!

  • 3/5 Linda S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very quiet on a Tuesday 5.45 pm. Potato skins to share went down a treat also the burger. However 1 of the burgers was ordered without salad on the bun and came with the salad. Staff were attentive to customers, polite and friendly and food was served promptly. My only criticism really was the speed at which tables were cleared and cleaned as people left the premises it took about 15 minutes for them to be done in what was a virtually empty restaurant, although there seemed to be plenty of staff unoccupied.

  • 5/5 Fairyfootsteps 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely great service by a lovely friendly lad called Oliver, nothing was too much trouble. He walked so fast around the restaurant, probably doing his 10,000 steps haha. Food was fresh and gorgeous. Definately return.

  • 2/5 Bob b. 2 years ago on Google
    Hit & Miss these guys, sometimes they're good, sometimes they're shocking. 0 social distancing, 0 mask usage, everyone sat on top of each other, food was pretty poor standard, and was barely warm.
