About This Pub

Ah, TGI Fridays at Cheshire Oaks – it's one of those places that really knows how to bring a smile with its fun, American-style eats and that classic chain energy. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the staff are absolute gems; they're quick to make you feel at home, and they go the extra mile for families, like being extra attentive if you've got little ones in tow. The food's a proper treat too – those ribs are tender and full of flavour, and the burgers are hearty enough to satisfy anyone after a good feed. Plus, with all those deals on cocktails and meals, it's easy to see why it's a go-to for a casual night out or a cheeky treat. But, let's be honest, it's not all smooth sailing; I've heard a few tales of the place looking a bit untidy, with messy floors and tables that could do with a tidy-up, especially when it's not slammed busy. Service can be hit or miss as well, and sometimes it feels a tad chilly inside, which might leave you wishing for a warmer spot. Still, overall, it's a solid choice if you're up for some relaxed American fare – just pop in with an open mind and maybe book ahead to dodge any potential hiccups.

Went early on a Saturday, had tables and staff ready and waiting. We love a quiet place to eat so our little boy can relax. The staff were attentive and friendly, quickly saw my son was using Makaton and trying to talk and made an extra special effort with him. The member of staff Ellie F was brilliant and made the extra effort with my boy. Thanks for a great experience. The food was hot and quick, plenty of it. Live the wings and chicken stripes, Nachos were spicy and sweet. My wife and boy loved the chocolate cake. The only negative was that the conservatory was roasting and needed to look at extra air-conditioning on hot days. Oh and blue light card discount is great here.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had a fantastic experience at TGI Fridays Cheshire Oaks! Booked in advance and was seated ahead of our scheduled time, which was a pleasant surprise. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The menu was straightforward and easy to navigate, and our food arrived swiftly. The burgers were absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. A standout bonus was the ‘Kids Eat Free’ offer available through the TGI Fridays app, which saved us £15 on our bill—a great deal for families. Overall, a top-notch dining experience with excellent service, tasty food, and great value. We’ll definitely be back again without hesitation!

I was very disappointed with the experience at this TGI Fridays today. First, the atmosphere was far from welcoming. The place was messy, with tissues scattered on the floor in a makeshift attempt to block a draft/flood coming from the back door. Despite this, it was still quite chilly and I had to keep my jacket on throughout the meal, even though I was wearing a long-sleeve top. To make matters worse, there were cobwebs visible on the ceiling above our table, adding to the overall sense of neglect. Service was another major letdown. We waited over an hour for our food and it became apparent that the staff had completely forgotten about our table. Diners who arrived after us were served first, yet there was no acknowledgment or apology for the delay, even after we raised the issue multiple times with the staff. This lack of communication and accountability was very frustrating. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm. My starter (mac and cheese) and main (sesame chicken strips with chips) were both disappointing. The chicken wasn’t even cut into strips, was overcooked to the point where the coating was hard, and lacked sesame seeds as advertised. Pieces at the bottom were also poorly coated in sauce. The cleanliness of the facilities (both ladies and gents’) was similarly poor with tissues scattered everywhere and the loos being dirty. Overall, this visit was a major disappointment. From the messy environment and poor service to the lackluster food and untidy restrooms, the Cheshire Oaks TGI failed on pretty much every front. Needless to say, I won’t be returning to this branch and I wouldn’t recommend it to others. It’s massively overpriced/definitely not worth it.

I was extremely disappointed with the substandard meal and, more significantly, the unacceptable level of service. Despite the restaurant not being overly busy, numerous tables remained unclean, and the floor was littered with debris. Following our order for starters and main courses, drinks arrived promptly; however, subsequent drink requests were overlooked. Furthermore, cutlery was absent, and requests for sauce required repeated prompting. Our meal was unsatisfactory; we departed without consuming our beverages due to the unacceptable quality of the food, which was excessively greasy and overcooked. I would not recommend this TGI Fridays. Mon 30th Dec at 16.40pm.
