Finger lickin' good Jack Daniel's Sampler at TGI Fridays

For those who are familiar with TGI Fridays restaurant, you might know what Jack Daniels Sampler is about. It is a huge platter of deep fried chicken meat, succulent prawns and a rack of grilled marinated pork ribs served with a lot of chopped cabbages underneath. The main start of the sampler is the tasting sauce that goes with it.

This platter is big enough to share among 2 pax and it costs $29.95 at any of the TGI Fridays restaurant. I happened to visit the TGI Fridays at Westfield Doncaster shopping mall situated at Level 2, 619 Doncaster Rd, VIC. It's up to the roof top near to the open air car park. We decided to try the Jack Daniels sampler plate for a friend's birthday. Yum! What can I say?



The marinated pork ribbed was grilled to perfection- easy for cutting and eating. It tastes so good that I wish it has more meat in it. Ha ha! The fried prawns were around 6 pieces but not that fantastic. The deep fried chicken bits were nice too and do eat it with the cabbage/salad.
You can either dish it down with soft drinks, beer or any alchohol drinks but we chose to order Lemon Lime Bitters instead. 

There is also Express Lunch offered at TGI. You can pre-order online and get it within an hour. How cool is that! The Express lunches range from $9.50 to $16.50 depending what you want to order and eat. Caesar salad would be a good option for ladies on diet and men would be opting for the traditional burger or skewers or chicken tacos. Each lunch set comes with a free drink or wine/beer. You can order coffee for $3.00.

Among favorites are buffalo wings, chicken fajita nachos, sweet potato twisters along with its famous steaks and club sandwiches. 

Average price you will be paying is A$15.00 to A$20.00 for a nice meal excluding drinks (this is not express lunch set)- this is based on the standard menu.

On the scale from 1-10, I'd rate is at 7.5/10 stars. Service is great, speed of delivering and cooking out the food is good as well. You can either visit the restaurant early as it gets a bit packed with people during lunch hours especially on a weekend or public holidays.

The next dish to try if I ever visit TGI Fridays? I'd try the chicken fajita nachos...Hmmm... :p
