Tried the chicken wings and got 6 more pcs for free 🙋🏻♀️. The spicy buffalo sauce is amazing 👌🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻, the texas bbq is quite nice as well. The only downside is the portion is pretty small (at least for me). Overall was a good experience.
A very American restaurant right next the Yarra river in Southbank. It has some great benefits, seeing as you get refills, plus the size of the food is pretty large as well.
Finished class at uni for the day and thought thank god it’s Friday..... so hey, why don’t we try TGIF southbank 💁🏻♂️ rushed in to escape the blistering cold Melbourne weather and was greeted at the door with a very welcoming smile 😊 no booking but the waiter was swift to reset a table! It was like a typical Wednesday night passing practice for the workers at TGIF, construction with the 6, into the 10s, through to the 9. Honestly it was a pleasure to watch! We were super hungry so just a couple of entrees to start - calamari & chicken wings were super 😍 and the Beef ribs with a tangy Texas BBQ sauce were full of flavour and fell effortlessly off the bone! The service was very friendly and always so attentive. Shout out to our waiter on the night. Didn’t quite grab his name upon departure but he certainly went above and beyond in every aspect to make our experience a pleasant one!

Hilariously my previous review here, over 18 months ago speaks to my sisters obsession with their chicken tenders. Today (again, don’t ask me why) she chose this location for her final lunch as an unmarried woman before taking the plunge tomorrow. There is further irony in there being years between my visits to these chains but now twice in quick succession.
There’s been a bit of change between meals, including quite a menu revamp resulting in her beloved chicken tenders not being quite what they used to be. I opted for the salmon given I love that sticky Jack Daniels sauce. The fish was overcooked for me given how I like it but more than that it was overcooked for anyone’s taste owing to its serious char.
The sauce kind of saved the day and the chips themselves were also extremely flavourful. In future I may try my luck with the chicken that also comes with said delicious sauce.
Original review
My sister is obsessed with the chicken tenders at TGI's (don't ask me why) hence I have been to just about every branch; Doncaster, South Yarra, Southland, Melbourne Central at least five times each. The service at South Yarra is the best but given I lived metres from the Southbank one that's probably where I've spent the most time.
The mango berry daiquiri never fails to lift my spirits and the chocolate malted turtle dessert is decadently delicious. I've tried a lot of the menu but generally default to the pasta which comes with some tasty bread (the size of which has sadly shrunken over the years). Not a bad spot for a casual eat but fairly overpriced for what it is. At least theres unlimited refills on your soft drinks!
Came here for a coffee, close to closing time and the waiter Ahdmad (not sure about the spelling) was warm and welcoming, top quality customer service (and great coffee) Thanks guys!
Came on a Monday night and the wait at the door was a little while, possible due to being understaffed however the service was excellent. I was in love with my Jack Daniel's burger. I had a mock tail which was the Strawberry Passion ice tea. Ooof, that iced tea was extremely sweet even for myself (major sweet tooth) but once downed with my burger in the other hand, I became accustomed to it. Enjoyed my meal so much I went on to finish my friends meal while he ran off to the loo! :P
TGI Fridays I love this restaurant, You can find this restaurant around the world the food is amazing My favourite is the ribs and the Jack Daniel Burger. The service is very bad and is expensive but the food never disappointed!!
One of the newer TGI’s on the block; the Southbank premises offers a sleek and modern decor. The signs are cut back through out and barely noticeable. Service is good, staff are attentive and friendly; of course food is consistent here; large and tasty. Not the cheapest place to go, but you always leave full and happy.
Food was good, we didnt really have a lot here, we went here on 31st eve, which surprisingly wasnt very busy, and there wetr no people waiting outside, still staff was very pushy about finishing our food and was asking if we are done almost 3 time in less than 10 mins. Which is not very good experience, considering there were 2 empty tables we could see.

Table for 6 adults and 2 children on a Friday night. Was pretty quite so Quick seating. Warm covered outdoor but inside seating. Glass wall so you can see into the next restaurant. Stylish setting with a warm pub feeling. Child friendly, kids were greeted with crayons and a colouring flyer to keep them occupied till meals arrived. Wait staff quick to take orders which is good. Though they didn't offer any suggestions/recommendation on menu. Food was quick to come out, faster then the drinks and sadly the kids drinks took even longer to come out?.. we had the JD( or JB) glaze double beef burger which is served with fries - beef bit dry but the glaze helps. Fried mushrooms good. Buffalo wings were hot hot hot-spice, not mild. The Rib rack good size for one person. Short ribs was moist but still firm on bone rib sauce nice amount of spice. Soda sold in glass no jugs but if the waiter cares to notice your hand waving the cups are refillable at no extra cost. Music not too loud but overall good spot for some yummy food on a cold evening. Only fault drinks too slow being served.
The place is kids friendly, kids get crayon and colouring paper when dining in. Service is pretty good.
Food highlight is the Southwest potato twisters with cheese sauce. Very rich, potato is crispy and cooked well. I ordered Texas BBQ Beef ribs for the main, my wife ordered Fridays Single Stack burger. Beef ribs is a bit tough, and not well marinated, as you can taste the smoky bbq sauce only on the outer skin. Overall, a good lunch.
Spacious restaurant with rooms upstairs as well as on ground floor. Staff were friendly and responsive to orders but made a slight mistake on one of our orders. Nevertheless, they had amazingly delicious food. Toilets are upstairs and were clean. Main food prices vary from A$ 15 to 40.
Always love fridays.. but its disappointing how cajun shrimp and chicken pasta wasn't i was expecting. back in Dubai, its one of my favorite dish.. hopefully to see improvements on my next visit. staff are friendly and helpful 👍🏻( dined here last January)
Still a great place to eat. Great service and the food is always really good. Our starters and mains were served perfectly apart. Drinks were all good.
Plenty of space upstairs for our reservation of 6 people, and the staff attentive, without pestering us at all.
My ribs were delicious and juicy. Perfectly cooked. Chicken wings were a little small, but tasted great with just the right amount of spice.
Awesome place for a quick night out with friends and or family. If you like a steak house type of place, you should for sure check this place out!
Absolutely fantastic! For new years eve! The service staff was the best I have seen in a very long time. I would expect and totally understand somewhat grumpy staff being how busy it is. But from the moment I got in to food the service, presentation and smiles have been 6 star. Keep it up guys, wd ☺
