TGI Fridays in Gateshead

The food was great. Service was excellent. Georgie was super friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous food and amazing service as always. Georgia has served us afew times and can honestly say we look forward to seeing her every time. She is kind, positive, enthusiastic and so funny. She is an absolute credit to TGI’s, can’t wait to see her again soon!

Excellent services from their server, Celine. Thank you.

Was luvleh, Kaitlyn was our server, was lush, foods always amazing, best environment

Kaitlyn and the cocktails man were both great to us. Helped with allergen guide and looked after us with great care

food and drinks were great, our server Georgia was absolutely amazing! So helpful and really great! x

Wonderful experience. Made by Daniel M. who was serving my wife and I 👍😉

We went here on boxing day and despite it being busy our server Georgia was amazing. She was incredibly helpful and really kind and welcoming. She made our experience much better and will definitely be back.

The ambience was lovely, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. We had nachos, potato skins with bacon, and Cajun-spiced chicken fajitas. The food was delicious, but quantity-wise, the nachos weren’t value for money, and overall, everything felt a bit pricey. The Passionate Sunrise mocktails were amazing and definitely a highlight. There was a bit of a wait during peak hours to get seated, as well as for the food to be served. Overall, it was a good experience.

Customer service was excellent, Kaitlyn was lovely and a very helpful. We love going to TGI’s Metro Centre for a family treat, our son loves the food here, the staff always make time to talk to him & he loves the activity packs. Food is always lovely too.

It's a bit pricey, but lovely food and staff are great.

We visited today and were served by Paige who was so lovely, food was typical TGI but service first class. :)

Our server Paige was absolutely lovely, really fast service and food was amazing as per usual!

Great food and service by Emily M Thanks

Popped in for few cocktails and to use my strips. Jack the barman was fab even remembered that I drink 77 sunset strip tried the new bubble gum daiquiri on the rocks was absolutely lovely tasted like I was drinking candy defo better than the frozen one

Great experience at TGI Fridays tonight. 1st time for my wife and daughter and they thoroughly enjoyed it and the food. Kaitlyn was a lovely server too.

Was very bad food. Was pork on which is didn’t told us also I did ask for full size Serling steak which came only small pieces charged for said salad but said come with it so we been charged £53 we had very bad experience and both of us fell sick after food

Food was lovely and waiter was very helpful and polite throughout.

Lovely food and service from Kaitlyn

Food is alright, but a bit pricey. They only told me the lunch menu is not available on Friday when I asked, which is not what it said on their website.

My friend and I came here about 2 weeks ago as it was his birthday. To be honest I wasn't too optimistic but thought I'd give it one last chance. The last 2 meals I had here were pretty awful and expensive too. Raw sweet potato in my pasta one time and just overall not great taste or value. Less than bog standard. That goes for the service too. Slow and rude. HOWEVER, this time I must say we were pleasantly surprised! Food and drinks came promptly and were cooked to perfection. Wait staff were lovely. Kind, accommodating and just overall pleasant, leading to a relaxed easy experience. Even got us our free refills so we could sit and have one more drink before we needed to leave. The place has had a hell of an over haul with staff and service and it shows as everything felt way better. Everything WAS better. Keep doing what you're doing!! Thank you for changing my opinion. Extra thanks to the waiter who served us. I'm so sorry I can't remember your name but this was on the 11th of november around 2pm. Such chivalry for a young man in his early 20s. Valued member of staff right there.

My daughter needs gluten free, and this place is amazing. They were really helpful and pleasant. Would definitely recommend

We had Georgia she was amazing and the happiest waitress ever !!!!!+ lovely food

Server, Georgia, was amazing! Super friendly and super helpful!!! Had a lovely time

Celine was very helpful. Food came out fat and so did drinks. Very enjoyable experience

Service was exceptional from Georgia who was efficient, warm and friendly. My tender rack of ribs was, as always, mouthwatering. The place seemed full of contented happy people enjoying their experience!

Service and atmosphere is nice but the average food is not worth the steep prices in my opinion.

Friendly staff on arrival we had a pre-booked table, food arrived in good time food was hot and delicious. Eden our server was lovely and friendly

Excellent service from Eden our server. Pleasant and accommodating.

What a brilliant experience we had at TGIs Metrocentre tonight! Our server, Eden, was absolutely lovely and kept checking up on us throughout our meal. She was super friendly, polite and well-spoken!

Can’t thank Joseph S enough for fabulous service, friendly, lovely manner and all round great guy. Refil drinks not a problem always smiling. cheers we’ve always enjoyed coming to TGI Fridays but will definitely be back next month for my sons birthday treat 🤗

Service was great, lovely atmosphere and great music. Food was really nice too! Our server was Georgia, she was really friendly and made the experience.

Lovely staff and amazing food, overall absolutely unreal!!

Georgia was amazing. Food was amazing and very accommodating

Fantastic service by Eden today. She couldn't be more helpful and informative. We haven't been for a while, yet she was happy to explain everything and help with the menu.

Eden was lovely with us, see was great with our refilled and had good crack when talking to us. Thank you ✨

Emily was awesome. Kind, pleasant, attentive. We nipped in for some food while shopping. Riblets and wings hit the spot and price wasn’t bad at all.

Jack was cool and gave me a free drink for Bday. Would go again

Celine was lovely. Brilliant service

Food & drinks were excellent. Our server David was 10/10, has clearly been in the hospitality business for years - experience shows!! We had a group of 9, and everyone left satisfied.

Just felt I had to write a review went here last night for my grandson 14th birthday there was 11 of us , the food is absolutely shocking deep fried greasy chicken with sesame seeds it's vile to cut the story short as a really have no words it was £100 for me and my partner fir greasy chicken and wings and fries ! The only good comment a can say is the staff where lovely but that's it , no wonder they are closing branches elsewhere , would never in a million years return .

It says half price rack Tuesday you get £3 off making it £20.50p rip off tastes nice but when you get the bill it makes you feel like unhappy!

Katlyn-Anne has fabulous customer service! We will be back because of her

Visited TGI Friday at Metrocentre today and the food was excellent as always. Fast service and Kerry made sure our drinks were topped up and made our visit a great experience Thank you

Been here a few times with my daughter on our little dad and daughter days out, we had Kaitlyn serving us today and she was very friendly towards myself and my daughter even making her a little balloon dog to keep. Always enjoy my little trips here cause the food is nice and priced well, but today the already excellent service was better

Food was good as always. Customer service from our server was awful, his attitude was absolutely stinking, I understand people have bad days but to be downright rude to customers for no reason is out of order, didnt even ask for the bill and got it shoved down in front of me as if to say “well go away then”, we’d literally only just finished eating!! That was only one of the many things I picked up on from him. Toilets were also absolutely stinking, pure filthy!!

Bland, tacky decor and design of the restaurant. The food is the most basic bulk bought ingredients, blandly cooked with no seasoning or effort. Prices are too high for the frozen food they serve. Staff were friendly but being served by four different waiters over the course of a meal is confusing and unhelpful for customers and that alike. Would not eat again

Just Brilliant. Entire group of staff were accommodating, checked in on us regularly. The food was perfect. Overall kind and professional team, definitely recommend.

We popped in to the metro centre restaurant for food We were quickly greeted and seen to our table. At this point martyn came over and asked us what drinks we would like and how our day had been he interacted with the kids asking them what drinks they would like and if they had enjoyed there day. Martyn was very polite though out our meal he has a great knowledge of the company as we asked him lots of questions about why there is a motorbike in the restaurant about the rowing boat on the ceiling the propeller above the bar and the peacock glass. He answered all our questions we had a really nice evening and the food was fantastic

Went with my wife and two young daughters whilst visiting Newcastle - been a while since I’ve visited a TGIs - in summary the visit was underwhelming. Table we sat at was sticky with dirty cutlery and food debris still stuck to table . The food was expensive for what it was and pretty basic. The only really redeeming thing that made me give this 3 stars was the excellent service we received from our waitress who was brilliant! She helped us with the discount code and was professional and patient with my girls and attentive throughout our meal and did a great job! Give this girl a rise! Unfortunately won’t be going back as value for money is poor :(

Server was good however the price of food compared to the quality lacking. Grossly over priced for terrible food. The pub next door is far better

Thanks to Rachael! Food was good and atmosphere was spot on, had the place booked to ourselves

Our Rachael is a reyt lass - proper service! Jolene was Alreyt anorl

Fab service from Rachael - here’s a picture of George

I have already written a review on trip advisor however I just wanted to say that the food was okay. However, I was not going to write a review but thought it may be worth a mention. I came in on Friday around 4-5 pm for tea. I noticed that one of the waiters would not leave his girlfriend alone who was working on the bar area (or who seemed like his girlfriend). It made me feel terribly uncomfortable and I could actually see that his girlfriend was getting agitated and upset by him. I just think that there is a time and a place to be arguing with your girlfriend. Hopefully the management will pick up on this and bring this up as it made my experience kind of unpleasant. I would also like to say that the service from the waitress who was serving me was decent and fast.

I was disappointed in TGI Metrocentre not having Garlic mash for me at all. I wish they would have Garlic mash for me instead of saying that there is no Garlic mash for me

We went to TGI’s around 9pm after the cinema and they were very accommodating by still serving food to us. Martyn was really friendly and as always food was great!

Martin our server was amazing, very friendly and attentive, ensuring our dining experience was the best it could be.

Really great food and delicious cocktails (Purple Rain in particular) but all very overpriced. The staff were fantastic.

Paige was great food was ok but service was lovely

Lovely service even though we were late, they were generous enough to still let us dine in, not only that the food they served was lovely and I enjoyed every bit! The service from our service, Rachel, was so kind, gave us information and she was so patient! I recommend to eat here!

Rachel was good host and employee

Rachael was amazing, she made us feel welcome while providing excellent customer service. And I'm pretty sure we saw her making balloon animals for kids, how cool is that!

Lovely meal and Zac was great with the children

A very nice and friendly waitress Georgia!

Brought our drinks after the food arrived. Never got a refill on the soda we ordered. Very unimpressed with the service and portion size of food for the price. Garlic bread that came with the kids meals was way too garlicky and hard to eat.

Our waitress mel was outstanding especially with my 2 year old. She got a little upset and mel came straight over and offered her a sticker and defused the situation. Saved us from meltdown, fantastic service from her

Dropped by here on Saturday for lunch time food. However once sat down and saw the menu, their prices have doubled. £20 for a burger. This is not reasonable at all and for a chain restaurant, too expensive. Walked out and went to chiquitos where their mains were priced correctly at £13-14.

Had a lovely visit to the restaurant today. Food was lovely and our server Jenna was fantastic. Serving not only is but other tables she was attentive and kind. Will definitely be back.

Visited today (Sunday 30th July) and have to say was extremely impressed. I have just found out that I have intolerances to wheat and milk. When I told the staff member this she was very helpful and showed me where to find information on the menu. She then alerted her manager who came over and further assisted. He was also very helpful and very friendly and went above and beyond to make our visit as nice as possible. Food was spot on and we enjoyed our meals very much. Highly recommend TGI Metro based upon my experience today, thanks to all the staff for being so friendly and helpful :)

Sat down and drinks order taken by Jenna straight away. Food order taken waiting about 45-60mins for kids meal and burger which i thought was a little long as it was not too busy. Food came and was as expected and is very overpriced and portions have shrank (shrinkflation strikes again) Jenna replaced my finish drink without even asking which is just how i want it to be. Great service👍 Served twice by Jenna and been a pleasure everytime

Rachael was a great host and server. Very attentive, extremely friendly. Excellent service

Rachel was lovely! Great food and great service :)

Our server, Megan did an excellent job for our daughter's 10th birthday celebration. The party package included everything we could want. The table was decorated beautifully. The food was tasty and was served promptly. All the kids were able to choose something they liked and there was plenty of choice from the set menu. Megan and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make sure the party ran smoothly and we had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend.

This is the best TGI Fridays we have ever been to, the food was excellent and the service was great as usual. Georgia our server was very helpful and great fun!! We go there every year when we are on holiday in Newcastle. With our service dog Poppee!

Great service from David tonight. Food was lovely too.

Loads of parking…. Because it’s empty on a Saturday afternoon. That should have been my first warning. Entered the building and had to go and find a server after waiting 5 minutes. Server was nice and the booth was clean. Unfortunately the prawns were very fishy and un edible. The famous chicken strips were 3/10 at best. The beer was as flat as the atmosphere and the cola was served with the glass full of ice. 6 quid for frozen onion rings, 20 quid for chicken strips….i won’t be be coming back.

Absolutely disgusted at the value for money. Boneless chicken wings(no bigger than 1,5cm squared) £9 & “loaded” potato skins which essentially was mashed potato with skin on. £9 I watched the manager pick up food from the floor with his bare hands. Throw it away, prep a drink & deliver it to a customer AND get food from the grill and deliver it to a table. ALL without washing his hands. Deplorable, I will never set foot in there again.

Really nice food, excellent customer service, extremely talkative staff very comforting experience thanks kyle!!!

Our server James was a delight! Coming in from NY, this was a pleasant experience

Well, will start with the positives. Chicken strips starter and cocktails were lovely and the waitress was friendly and helpful. However, the mozzarella dippers were like flat bread pancakes, the Nacho starter had no flavour and some of them were soggy. The main course, I had the chilli chicken pasta, the chicken was dry and the pasta was swimming in fat, like trying to eat slippery eels, had no flavour or seasoning. My wife had the medium rump steak which had no flavour, again, 2 mushrooms, half a tomato and lukewarm fries wrapped in paper (unlike the photo on the menu!), definitely not worth £26! Asked for a coke zero and that tasted like it had been standing for a while, it was barely fizzy. Total cost was £98, with BLC discount came to £83, most certainly not worth half of that. So much for celebrating our anniversary, fast food at 4⭐ restaurant prices. Won't ever set foot in a TGI Friday ever again.

Fantastic food and service for our daughter’s birthday.

Lovely food, small pasta portions, slow service. Found it quite expensive for what we received. Limited free from choices.

Took my 7 year old son on a ‘boys’ meal out as he really really wanted a burger 🍔. Fridays is around an hour from where we live but I remember going when it was a ‘big’ thing late 90’s. Not much has changed lol. Had a great time, service by Georgia was fantastic and now Tommy can’t wait to go back again.

Amazing food and Amazing service from Julie. Really appreciate your kindness and being so helpful

We were served by Julian at the metro centre , and he was absolutely fantastic- never missed a beat. Highly recommended excellent service.

Lovely food and drinks. Julian was amazing with us, so friendly and attentive and offered us loads of recommendations. Would defo come back.

Shocking experience here. The service was so bad! We had to ask them to take food and drink orders from us and the price of food for what you get is criminal! Never again! The so called plater on the big plate cost around £25. The total bill was somewhere in the £80 region

The food was good, but the sweet potato fries were interesting! That said, Rachel, who served us was outstanding; attentive, entertaining and courteous…thank you. Can’t comment on the atmosphere, as it was a Monday evening, so probably one of their quiet nights, but enjoyable for our group.

Rachael was a brilliant server. she was polite, professional and is a credit to the company with her amazing personality!! will be back

Great place, great atmosphere. Ordered the sesame chicken strips but I didn’t like the sauce so David the server offered to replace the chicken but without sauce. The chicken was really nice after. Great service.

Today me and my family received the best service we've ever had in a restaurant, and we eat out a lot! We were served by Joe S and he was so friendly and patient with us and the kids. Couldn't of had better service and he was so helpful and efficient. Every member of staff went above and beyond today, highly recommend this venue

Great service and good. Georgia has went over and beyond for us. We will be back due to her service rather than the other metro centre store. Thanks again 😊.

David, our table host was absolutely lovely and went above and beyond to accommodate me and my child for lunch. Service was great! And the food was on point.

Kaitlyn was really lovely and friendly.

Great TGI Friday away from the Metrocentre Malls, really friendly staff especially Carl and Jolene who made the experience memorable

We called in for tea as I do like the burgers. We were shown to our table , there was no introduction and the meus were thrown onto the end of the table. The waitress came over and said "do you want a drink with a very patronising tone, she then asked if we knew what food we wanted. We ordered our burgers which were delicious. She came and cleared the table,asked if we wanted a dessert, when we said no she said ill bring the bill. We were still sitting with our drinks and probably would have changed our minds on desserts but it felt like we were being asked to leave. I won't bother coming back,the cost is expensive and the service is awful

Two burgers were ordered, two disasters were delivered. Both burgers were overcooked and meant that halfway through the burger, it was cold and rock solid with an overwhelming taste of burnt meat. The fries seemed to have the equivalent of a weeks worth of salt on them. At the end of the meal, no-one asked how it was, but this seems to be symptomatic of the experience you can expect here. I recommend avoiding this place.

The service was fast and friendly but sadly the food was low standard. Mac and cheese was tasteless loaded fries were good, sesame chicken was lovely and nachos were stale. The young lady serving us was very pleasant hence the good rating. Wouldn't go back.
