I love rock and roll, so I definitely wanted to go to the Hard Rock Cafe. Immediately, I was taken by the Jimi Hendrix guitar as you walk in, until I looked up to see a chandelier made of guitars. The whole atmosphere is definitely for music lovers. Everything about it, from the wall to wall memorabilia, to the music,... more

If you are a fan of the Hard Rock Cafe, go see the remodel and have a drink. Unfortunately, we thought the food was overpriced. My husband and daughter's $15 hamburgers were burnt and only a small handful of fries on the side. I have been to the Cafe's in many cities including Chicago and I was disappointed. more

We went here on on November 28th after some "black Friday shopping". We arrived about 11pm and it was pretty much empty for a Friday night. I ordered a chicken club and my sister got the veggie burger. Both sandwiches were good but just typical grub. We both had a few beers on tap as well. The inside is very... more

Unless you are looking for a typical bar scene, have-to-scream-to-be-heard type place, don't bother going on a Saturday night for dinner. By the time we were done with dinner and escaped out of them, we all had headaches.... Not so fun. more

We've never had a bad meal at any Hard Rock Cafe, so for that reason and for my kids' t-shirt collection, we always make a stop at the local Hard Rock. The burgers were great, the selection of beers was interesting, the restaurant was well-kept and the staff was so-so but adequate. The shop had a great selection of t-shirts. more
