There is a similar place in the Trafford centre, call the Exchange Bar and Grill, now that is truly awful.

Its the one in Wilmslow.

PS, dont go that often, honest.
Sorry, I do take your point.
Used to frequent a really nice pub in Shepherds Market (before it went all Lebanon) and the cook there used to do an excellent home-made beefburger and chips (non of that fries nonsense).
Was great...not that it could ever be called top nosh...but great

If we want a Burger we go to the local Gourmet Burger Kitchen, like TGI's without the wankiness, reasonable prices, very accomodating and if you want a Burger nobody does it better.
eeekkk, JACKO i went to GBK Wilmslow when it first opened, never again! Burgers ranged from £7-12 without a side order! Chips came in an egg cup for £3, Salad consisted of lettuce and salad dressing for £3.50.

And they had a tip jar at the paying counter!

lol, maybe things have changed. I hope so.

TGI's in Cheadle Hulme much better - 2 courses for £9.99 mon-thurs.

+ they got some hot staff

Just my 2p worth.

It occurs to me that you're the pedant. However you're correct to say that I grind up meatballs using words.

I've only been to a TGI Friday once but it was the single worst experience I've ever had while eating out. Warmed up freezer meal garbage & pathetic service. How they still have restaurants open is beyond belief.

That place was a shoite hole about 10 years ago, so I dread to think what it is like now, Swish...

I hope you didn't throw your chips at the person who fainted, now that would have been insensitive!

Thanks, TGIF was an old air force tradition, but had not heard of TGI by itself before.
