TGI Fridays Fondue-It Menu

TGI Fridays is officially turning up the heat and the cheese. The iconic restaurant chain just announced the launch of Fondue-It, a new $3 upgrade that transforms classic dishes into an interactive, tableside spectacle. Whether you are a fan of the Truffle Mushroom Burger or the legendary Loaded Potato Skins, your meal is about to get a whole lot meltier. Now, guests can watch as their favorites arrive on a hot cast-iron skillet, only to be showered with a warm, bubbly cheese pour tableside.

“Fondue-It™ represents everything Fridays stands for, namely unique presentation and creating moments that bring people together,” said Ray Blanchette, chief executive officer at TGI Fridays®. “We’re crafting experiences that transform a meal into a moment. It’s effortless for our guests, theatrical for our dining rooms, and designed to create the kind of memories that keep people coming back to celebrate with us.”

O-M-Cheeseburger at Applebee’s

Comparison to the Applebee’s O-M-Cheese Burger has been common. Is this a response to that menu item’s success? Maybe, but TGI Fridays has decided to go for it anyway.

New Innovations: The FRRIB and Dubai Chocolate Espresso Martini

The innovation doesn’t stop at the cheese. TGI Fridays is also introducing The FRRIB, a rib-sandwich hybrid born from an internal global menu contest. Developed by team member Donald Willyard, it features a half-rack of slow-cooked ribs, pulled off the bone and stacked on a warm sub roll with melted cheddar, caramelized onions, and the signature Whiskey-Glaze sauce.

For those with a sweet tooth (and a social media account), the Dubai Chocolate Espresso Martini has arrived. Inspired by the viral dessert trend, this cocktail blends Absolut Vodka, pistachio syrup, and nitro-infused espresso, served alongside actual Dubai-style chocolate.

Additionally, guests visiting Universal Orlando Resort can find a TGI Fridays very close to the theme park resort property.
