Why does everyone’s look forward to Fridays?

For pencil-pushers (students) and money-makers (the work force), Friday evening means they’ve got a whole weekend ahead of them — they can stay up late, sleep in till Saturday morning, or spend time with family and friends over good food and booze to while the blues away. Besides, it’s the only day of the week that is called “Good (Friday)” once a year.

I guess that also explains why American businessman Alan Stillman named his bar and restaurant TGIFridays — to give people a place to unwind and have a good time after a hard day’s work.

In celebration of its 21st year in the Philippines, The Bistro Group continues to spread the fun, TGIFridays’ energetic vibe and great dining experience to the south as it opens four  new branches at these locations: Evia Lifestyle Center in Daang Hari, Las Piñas; Solenad in Nuvali; McKinley Hill in Taguig; and in the island of Boracay. There will be 20 stores by January 2016, an aggressive expansion move by the company.

The new locations sport the brand’s fresh new look while retaining its trademark spirit of fun, good food, and great times.   Guests are assured to enjoy the most premium American-style comfort food — juicy burgers, fall-off-the-bone ribs, tender steaks, delish pasta dishes, crisp salads, and decadent desserts — in hefty servings; the most refreshing drinks and intoxicating cocktails (handcrafted with passion and flair by TGIFridays’ award-winning bartenders); and fast, friendly, and reliable service from its amiable wait staff and managers.

Spread the love this christmas

This holiday season, TGIFridays offers Shareable Platters, an array of belly-busting combinations- the Smokehouse Platter and the Jack Daniel’s Platter meant for sharing by up to 3 persons.

Loaded with smoked fried chicken and char-grilled sausages served with rice pilaf, the Smokehouse Platter also comes with a plateful of Chipotle Cheese Balls to whet the appetite.

Jack Daniel’s Platter, on the other hand, tempts the palate with tender ribs basted with signature Jack Daniel’s sauce and served with fresh corn on the cob, rice pilaf and Golden Chipotle Cheese Balls. Chicken lovers can opt for the half-chicken.

This Christmas, love comes in all flavors, textures, and tastes. These edible treats not only warm your loved ones’ tummies, but hearts as well.
