Beyond the appetizer menu, TGI Friday also adds the following salads and bowl:

Finally, TGI Fridays introduces Athletic Brewing Company's Upside Dawn non-alcoholic craft beer to their beverage selection. They describe the beer as "a bright and light-bodied brew crafted to remove gluten, Upside Dawn is a classic craft Golden style with floral and earthy notes."
