It worked out like this:
- Two drinks (one free with endless lunch)
- Sesame chicken with Asian slaw (free with survey receipt)
- Jack Daniels burger (cut in half) with Combo fries (1/2 regular, 1/2 sweet potato)
- Soup (we ordered broccoli cheese and clam chowder)
- Salad (we had 2)
- Breadsticks
It was very good. We were seated immediately, in a very ample booth. Our drinks were refilled promptly, and the server was very nice. He was fast, and checked on us often.
The sesame chicken is AMAZINGLY good. It has a mild spicy tang to it. If you've never had it, it's chicken breasts tossed in an Asian sauce and sesame seeds, served with Asian slaw and extra dipping sauce. The sauce is wonderful You can control the heat by how much extra sauce you dip into. The Asian slaw has a nice hot kick to it.We order this often and it's always lovely.
The JD burgers were - as always - excellent. Nice soft bun, good burger, fresh cheese. The lettuce and tomato are your typical mid-grade, probably hydrophonic. But in their defense, it's hard to get good produce. Mom says the onion is good. It comes with extra sauce. This is one of the rare burgers I don't need ketchup or mayo on. I'd love a nice big slice of pineapple on it though.
The fries are great, and the ranch is fabulous. nice and thick, creamy, and chilled just right. Outback has the BEST ranch evahhhh.... but TGI gives them a good run for the money. We get combo fries because Mom is addicted to sweet potato fries. She sprinkles them with sugar, and reports that TGIs are very good. The regular fries are straight, homestyle cut, nicely browned.
The broccoli cheese soup was very good. Cheesy, creamy, nice small bits of broccoli. It's not a strong cheese. My favourite is from Quiznos, but I love cheese. TGI has a milder version, so if you don't like overpowering cheese, TGI is the place to be. I had a big bowl of it, and would have another. The clam chowder was good, but Outback has spoiled me. I love Outbacks clam chowder... it's outrageously good. TGI's is good, but nothing spectacular. A little thin, lots of potatoes, some celery and onion, good bits of clams. The clams are good, not too chewy.
The salad was nice. Again Outback upstages them with their salads, but it was a very good salad. Mom chose the Ceasar, which was romaine, cheese, croutons (fabulous croutons), dressing. The breadsticks were soft, warm and good. Dipped in the broccoli cheese soup or ranch dressing they were fab.
At that price, with the excellent service and good food, we'll definitely be back soon! We've also recommended them to friends and family, and if you're looking for a good inexpensive lunch, they have excellent options!
