Man not only hunts for food, one has to drink too
Usual music and some birthday howls
Lots of things on the walls you can't buy
Many things, including foodWhat you can get at TGI Maud's is mainly "north american food", which is sandwiches from Hamburg, Italian pasta, few trips over the Rio Grande or even what is announced to be typically chinese.
My personnal appetite is "normal" which means that I usually order only one thing and maybe a desert, having for consequence that I get out of TGI Maud's a little bit "heavy". This is the american way of life for you.
You will find above, not the complete menu transcription which would be boring, but a personnal selection : some undocumented items on the menu, few appetizers, the salad and combinations section, two main courses with pasta and a choice of southwestern food far from being exhaustive, the obliged sandwiches and hamburger department, steaks & ribs along with seafood and chicken, and, at last, the deserts.

Man not only hunts for food, one has to drink too*I will not approach the "Drinks" question because once and for all, the national (well, at least regional) drink at TGI Maud's is french Perrier.
Usual music and some birthday howlsIf you need at your birthday to have half a dozen folks dressed in red and white stripped sweatshirts, with funny hats on their heads singing "Happy Birthday To You" (the Steve Wonder version) and "Someone Here Is Getting Old", you just found the right place. I personnaly think it is a very comical sight, unless I should become the target of such thoughtfulness.
As for music, here is your typical evening tape's summary:
| "Don't say the word" | Swing out Sisters |
| "This is your life" | Shakespeare Sisters |
| "Wake me up before you gogo!" | Wham! |
| "Comon Eileen" | Dixies Midnight Runners |
| "Touch me" | Cathy Dennis |
| "Let's talk about sex" | Salt 'n Peppa |
| "Can you feel it?" | The Jacksons Five |
| "When doves cry" | Prince |
| "Red red wine" | UB40 |
| "Do the Time Warp step" | adapted from The Rocky Horror Picture Show by ? |
| "Girls just wanna have fun" | Cindy Lauper |
| "Mr. Vain" | Culture Beat |
| "???" | Erasure |
| "Uptown Girl" | Billy Joel |
| "Breakaway" | ??? (Tracy Ullman sung it too) |
| "Sledgehammer" | Peter Gabriel |
| "Blueberry Hill" | Fats Domino |
| "I wanna dance with somebody" | Whitney Houston |
Lots of things on the walls you can't buyIt seems to be a tradition for american restaurants to pin on the walls everything you would normally trash after a two days' eccentricity effect.
| A big Coca Cola thing round and red as you might wish it, a chariot wheel, a shovel, an begin-of-the-century insecticide spray, a big spirit lamp, a toy truck, cans of various origins, a balalaïka, a hunting horn, a tuba and a snorkel, an ammunition shell for at least a 75mm cannon, diplomas written too small or too far from me to allow me to read them, notices for a cow selling and the Hartford Fire Insurance Co, a picture of a baby girl dressed as cupidon, a tennis racket which I wouldn't trust to play with, two pipes in a frame, an accordion, a clock with some decorative ad on it, half of an umbrella, a beauty shop sign and one for Regalos Cigars, a family group photo in sepia, some young guy in sepia too, a square mirror, a "pig" sign, a Kodak sign, a Buschs sign, a saddle, a purple flag with "Holy Cross" printed in white, "we sell Graphinoil, the quality lubricant", a golden A letter, a gold and red Q letter, some strategically dispatched television sets tuned on Eurosport and MTV, a big teddy and dusty bear, and empty bottle of champagne, a big and strange ostrich which seems it could fell if you push it hard enough, a restroom hand-holding-an-ace-of-heart shaped sign, many buckets in a large range of sizes and colors, an Atlantic White Flash poster, a watering can, an empty golf bag, a teeshirt with names on it -- or dates or places or a mix of everything or whatever -- a glass store sign, a trumpet, a big red key, a saw with a wooden handle, antother square mirror but smaller, a wood sled, a short golden horse with holes in the shoulders and neck, an empty oval frame, some heater, two pictures of what looks like teams of something, one of them panoramic, and Esso ol' style sign, a little tin locomotive, a strange music thing or so it seems, ...
