G.I. Friday's

I know I previously said I didn't feel the need to come to one again but I did....and eh, it was ok. There wasn't much to go wrong since I chose an appetizer for lunch and a soda. The server was very nice and attentive, I'd try this particular TGI's again.

Steak was like shoe leather and I even made the comment twice that it was really bouncy. Music is way too loud for the small amount of people here on a Monday night. Server was very nice and came back often. Miller lite draft only $1.50 on Mondays which is awesome. Decent desserts. Terrible music.

Haven't been to TGIF for about a year because we moved and there are none nearby our new residence.

Since my last visit, they have introduced a "new" menu. What this means is that they dropped losers and added a few new entrees. They also increased menu prices across-the-board ~20%. That was a bit of a surprize to me.

The Cobb Salad was excellent in freshness and presentation. It was so nice I wish I had my camera to take a picture for posting. The bacon was strips, not bacon crumbles. Real avocado slices, etc.

Wife had the three-way sampler, with Buffalo WIngs, fried green beans, and fried mozzarella sticks. The first two were as expected. The fried mozzarella sticks were good, but clearly frozen and fried...probably from a central warehouse, for consistency with size and breading. Unremarkable.

Overall, I prefer local establishments (mom and pops) but we were traveling through and didn't want to go hunting. This was convenient to the highway exit and so I do chains on occasion and order what I have learned are the better menu choices.
