The chain will introduce the meals as it fights its way back from administration
The 'Rise and Dine' menu, which begins on July 4, will feature an Oreo Crunch Pancake Stack, the All-American Slam breakfast and Steak & Egg.
Veggies can join in the delicious fun too, as its Garden State Slam comes complete with plant-based chicken, smashed avocado, Cajun-spiced corn chips, fried eggs, hash brown bites and toasted ciabatta.
Punters keen not to break the bank can sink their teeth into a Bacon Ciabatta.
The breakfast classic made affordable at just £5, with crispy bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, and fresh tomato on a warm ciabatta.
Diners can accompany their meal with a thirst-quenching beverage, with fresh apple, cranberry, orange and pineapple juice available, as well as a choice of 'Sunrise Sips'.
The chain's facelift comes after TGI Fridays plunged into administration in September, putting all 87 locations at risk.
Since its debut in Birmingham in 1986, TGI Fridays quickly expanded nationwide, winning over diners with its casual American bistro-style experience.
Serving staff were known as Dub Dubs, and taught the art of entertaining their customers with jokes, banter, and other gimmicks like juggling and magic tricks, all performed with impeccable table craft and cheeriness.
A decade ago, the chain was acquired by a private equity firm, which rebranded it by removing all punctuation, changing the name from T.G.I Friday's to TGI Fridays.
In 2021, the company was spun off into Hostmore, which was a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange until the recent administration led to its being delisted.
I went to TGI Fridays for bottomless brunch - the service was super quick and two things really shocked me
Recently, the chain's fortunes have waned, with Hostmore reporting that UK sales have dropped by more than 10% this year compared to last year.
TGI Fridays' biggest market is the US, where it operates 128 restaurants, including franchised sites.
It also operates more than 270 restaurants in countries around the world.
I'M LOVIN' IT
It comes after McDonald's made mornings even tastier with its first-ever Breakfast Saver Menu.
The bargain meals are launching in selected branches across the country with bites starting from as little as 79p.
The fast food is serving up favourites like the Cheesy Bacon Flatbread (£1.99), Saver Bacon Roll (£2.19), and porridge pots (£1.69).
The Sausage Sandwich is an exciting new addition to the morning offerings and costs just £1.99.
There is a variety of snacks on offer, including apple slices (79p) and hash browns (£1.59), which can be washed down with Tropicana apple or orange juice (£1.89).
The Breakfast Saver Menu launched on May 7 across 332 UK restaurants in the North of the country.

New £11.7billion bridge set to connect one of Europe's most beautiful islands to the mainland for the first time
Plus, how to get there now from the UK in under three hours BRIDGE THE GAP New £11.7billion bridge set to connect one of Europe's most beautiful islands to the mainland for the first time Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HUGE new 2.2mile bridge connecting a beautiful European island to the mainland is to finally get the go-ahead. The plan to link Sicily with mainland Italy has been on the cards for years and now, the Italian government is expected to give the green light next week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Travelling from mainland Italy to Sicily is about to get much easier Credit: Alamy 4 The bridge will connect Sicily with mainland Italy Credit: Alamy The proposed plans are to build a bridge over the Strait of Messina - the body of water between Sicily and Italy's mainland. The Strait of Messina Bridge is something that has actually been talked about since the Roman times, but has never come to fruition. It came very close to becoming a reality back in 2009, but was stopped in 2013 when the company created to oversee its construction closed down. Talking to Reuters, a source said the Italian government is expected to give the go-ahead for the project next week. The source added that the meeting of the Committee for Economic Planning and Sustainable Development (CIPESS) to approve the bridge had yet to be scheduled but was expected to take place by August 7. The bridge will be costly, and the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has set aside €13.5 billion (£11.7 billion) for the project. Once it's finished, the Strait of Messina Bridge will be the longest suspension bridge in the world. It will be 2.2 miles long and designed to withstand earthquakes and strong winds. The project isn't going to be a quick build though as it's estimated it won't be completed until 2032. Currently, to get to and from Sicily to the Calabria region, travellers have to get on a ferry, take a train, or plane. Discover Europe's Secret Isles: Top 8 Underrated Destinations 4 Sicily has beautiful beaches and lots of history Credit: Alamy A regular ferry route operates between Messina in Sicily and Reggio Calabria in Calabria, and it takes around 30 minutes to do the crossing. You can also get a train from Sicily direct to Rome and Naples that boards its own ferry. The journey takes between eight and 12 hours depending on the starting city. To reach the island by plane, visitors can fly from Milan, Rome, Venice, Bologna and Verona. From the UK, you can fly directly to the island from London and Bristol and be there in under three hours. Sicily is one of Europe's most ancient inhabited islands and is now home to around five million people. Often named one of the world's most beautiful islands (most recently by Conde Nast Traveler), the most popular cities on the island are Palermo and Catania. One writer who visited Palermo delved deep into the island's mafia past and discovered a striking cathedral, food markets and beautiful sandy beaches. Another writer went to Catania taking a look at its Hollywood history, found the best views and tasted delicious desserts. For an Italian escape, here's a Mediterranean island that Brits don't know about with spectacular beaches and it's loved by Italians. And another tiny Italian island set to be 'turned into an oasis' to escape hoards of tourists.

First look inside UK's new £2bn high speed trains with underseat luggage storage and the ‘most comfortable seats ever'
Packed with hidden comforts and one clever fix passengers have begged for ON TRACK First look inside UK's new £2bn high speed trains with underseat luggage storage and the 'most comfortable seats ever' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE public is getting a first look inside Britain's new £2billion high-speed trains, featuring underseat luggage storage. In Derby, this weekend, train enthusiasts will be able to step aboard a full-size model of HS2's new Class 895 train at Alstom's Litchurch Lane Works. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The full contract to design and build 54 trains is worth around £2billion Credit: HS2 The replica carriage is part of 'The Greatest Gathering', a landmark event celebrating 200 years of the British railway, offering visitors a first-hand look at what the future of rail travel might look like. The sleek new interiors have been developed by HS2 Ltd, the West Coast Partnership and the Hitachi-Alstom High Speed team. The full contract to design and build 54 trains is worth around £2billion. These trains are expected to run at speeds of up to 360 km/h, and will be able to continue beyond the HS2 line on existing tracks to Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow. Each one is designed to be among the fastest, quietest and greenest trains in the world. Inside the carriage, the standard class seats promise what HS2 calls 'market-leading' legroom at 87 centimetres. Passengers will also get USB-C and 3-pin charging sockets, dropdown tables, small shelves for devices, and handy coat hooks. The seats recline without tipping backwards, thanks to a clever sliding mechanism, a much-needed upgrade for passengers fed up with stiff, upright seating on older UK services. This public unveiling marks the first time people can physically experience the carriage design after concept images were released in late 2024. It comes at a crucial time for HS2, which has faced rising public pressure and political scrutiny over its soaring costs and long delays. Officials hope the new trains will help restore some excitement around a project that has often struggled to win hearts or headlines for the right reasons. Recent HS2 stories have highlighted both progress and pain. In London, major milestones have been reached at Old Oak Common, the capital's new £2billion 'super station'. New 400-metre platforms have been laid and work is ramping up to prepare the site for up to 250,000 passengers a day. But in stark contrast, residents in places like Burton Green, Warwickshire, say the rail line has brought nothing but chaos. A 700-metre tunnel has sliced the village in half, and locals complain of years of noise, disruption and falling house prices, many say the project no longer benefits them in any way. Earlier this summer, The Sun revealed that HS2 bosses were blowing £1,200 a month on tropical office plants while project costs continued to climb. The London to Birmingham section alone is now expected to cost between £49bn and £67bn, with £27bn already spent. 3 The line itself is now far behind schedule It's just one of several recent examples that have drawn criticism over how taxpayer money is being used. The line itself is now far behind schedule. Originally pitched as a Y-shaped high-speed network linking London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, the project has been scaled back to a single leg between London and Birmingham. Even this stretch isn't expected to open until at least 2033 — more than ten years behind its original target. HS2 Ltd CEO Mark Wild recently told MPs that early mistakes, including awarding major civil engineering contracts before final designs were ready, led to ballooning costs. The price of civil works has risen from £19.5bn to £26bn. Wild says the project is now in a full reset phase, with delivery teams being rebuilt and construction work only moving forward when designs are fully mature. Still, there are bright spots. The 3.4km Colne Valley Viaduct, one of the project's most visible feats, is nearing completion after years of careful work. The twin-bore Chiltern Tunnel was completed earlier this year, and the enormous Northolt Tunnel under west London broke through in June 2025 after four giant boring machines worked for months to finish the job. So while passengers can now glimpse the inside of HS2's trains — and enjoy a seat that might finally deliver comfort at speed — the reality is that the journeys they're built for are still a long way off. 3 Each one is designed to be among the fastest, quietest and greenest trains in the world Credit: HS2 The trains may be ready, but the track ahead remains far from clear.
