Highlights
  • Hard Rock Cafe - Back in 1971, Americans Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton opened the first Hard Rock Cafe in London. Their landlord didn’t think they could pull it off, so he granted them a 3-month lease.
    How wrong that landlord was. Today, the franchise — which includes cafes, casinos and hotels — can be found in more than 63 countries. The…

Good location, good food and great staff! - We were on vacation and stopped in for lunch after touring Ford's theater. We ate there back in 2006 and was happy to see it still there! Food was really good and the staff top notch. A very pleasant experience.

Great food and drink! - Staff were friendly and food was great. Not as exciting as other hard rock cafes as they don’t have as much memorabilia, but we still had a great time and the food was excellent!

Right across the street from Ford Theater - This is the smallest Hard Rock Cafe we have ever been to. It didn't have a lot of memorabilia. The tables were small downstairs. Our waitress Brianna was amazing. Cobb salad, fajitas, flatbread pizza and chicken sandwich were all good. Good lunch stop right across the street from Ford Theater tour.

Hard Rock Cafe DC - Any visit to a Hard Rock Café is a good dining experience. They served up with hurricane glasses for the drinks. There is the signature logo sign at the stage area as with other Hard Rock Cafés around the world. The gift shop had a good selection of T-shirts, pins and refrigerator magnets

Ok - Hard rock not very big but cute. The "worst" in the USA, not so much for the place but for the not exactly courteous staff. You eat well as in all hard rock cafes

September 2024 visit - I popped in here for the shop, which is not far away from the restaurant at all. It was surprisingly empty, there was more staff than there was customers. The lady who was in the shop kept leaving as she was topping up the merchandise, she kept apologizing every time she left and came back. (I don't understand the pricing in the Hard Rock Cafes, as some charge you tax, from what's on the label, and some don't?? (this place does) - its confusing, as well as feeling like you have been conned). I was able to pop to the toilet, which was clean. I was trying to take a selfie of the Hard Rock sign when one of the staff members came over, and offered to take one for me. I bought a t-shirt, and the bag they gave me was huge, when I asked if there was any smaller, they said this is all we have.

Disappointing - I wouldn’t bother – booked a table but a long wait to be seated, a long wait for a drinks order and a long wait for a food order. The food was mediocre, as was the service. The ambience is poor. and regrettably one of the poorest HRs I have been to across the globe. Little of the styling and special features we have come expect. I would not return to be honest.

Awful. Arrived, then left immediately. - Front of house staff were cold, unfriendly, and borderline offensive with her attitude. Not a word was spoken by her, her actions and mannerisms said it all. We were not welcome.

Hard Knocks/ no service. - Booked reservation online. Arrived let hostess know we were there. She said yes had reservation. Waited over 20 min seeing several walk in /sign in and be seating. Checked the app said 1st in line. Would hit refresh continued to be first in line. When after standing for 20 min asked how much longer. Reservation time came and went. Was told you are first in line when some tables are cleared. Kept seating tables of 2-3 people. Ended up leaving
