“The development of this site has been exciting for our local team, delivering our restaurant to a new state and strengthening our position across Australia as a premium, yet casual, dining option.”

The WA restaurant is TGI Fridays 12th in Australia, following on from locations in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.

Community News’ TGI Fridays recommendations:

1. BUFFALO WINGS. Served with celery sticks and a side of Bleu cheese sauce to combat the spice 2. ULTIMATE FRIDAYS SIGNATURE GLAZE BURGER. It’s the JD glaze, and the onion rings, and the patty, and the bacon … 3. SIGNATURE RIBS. Pork ribs, more of that signature JD glaze 4. FALLING OFF THE BONE. Like the ribs described above but add chicken wings. And a toasted sesame chilli mix. 5. GRILLED CHICKEN FAJITAS. Or even try the vege alternative.
