As is I give it a three. I suggest useing the classic Hidden valley ranch packet mixed as directed. instead of the bottled stuff. not adding the vinegar. and doubleing the cayenne. this way tastes so much closer to the TGIF orriginal. I also steamed the greenbeans and used half seasoned bread crumbs and half Panko bread. It turned out so much better then when I tryed it as posted.

Excellent! Though, I have to wonder who invented frying a STRING BEAN! Sauce was fantastic, beans were great! Excellent appetizer, but it does take some time to bread all the beans.

I had trouble getting the breadcrumbs to stick using the flour and egg wash, but I used some tempura batter I had and the fries turn out great! My boyfriend loved it!!

I am only rating the Green Beans part of the recipe, because I didn't make the dip. I followed the directions exactly, didn't change a thing. I got tired of breading green beans, but it was worth it! (I think I used more than 8 ounces of green beans...or maybe it was because they were not huge, fat ones.) I had never had the TGIFriday's green beans, but had seen the commercial and wanted to try them. They are delicious! Next time you want to wow someone, make these as an appetizer or side!

I prepared this for a bunch of friends. This makes quite a mess! It takes a long time so I just used strait Ranch Dip and didn't make the Wasabi Cucumber Ranch Dip. They were awesome!! Everybody loved them! Well worth the wait. I ran out of breadcrumbs and used finely crushed crackers and that worked too. A+ Thanks for a great recipe! Super close the the restaurant version.

This is a great and unique recipe. My husband does not like horseradish at all, so I served the beans with ranch dressing. They were very good, but my family did not like them as much as they do my old fashioned way of preparing beans. I just put them in a pot with some butter and kosher salt and let them cook down. When you use beans fresh from the garden, the old-fashioned way is just too hard to beat.

I am reviewing the dipping sause alone. I made the sauce to accompany Roasted Green Beans in my quest to lose a few pounds. I love this appetizer at TGI Friday's and always wanted to make it at home. This is such a great version! I do not agree with the reviewer that stated the dip tastes like kicked up ranch. But then again, I used homemade ranch dressing instead of bottled. Thank you so much, I'm going out to buy more green beans tomorrow because I have alot of the yummy dipping sauce left!
