Summary

The best meals we’ve had here are when we order only appetizers (try the spicy Bangkok shrimp) or only desserts, and drinks. The entrées are average, and you’d be hard-pressed to differentiate them from anything you’d get at, say, Margaritaville. For vegans, the Impossible plant-based burger is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. We like sitting at the bar, where service can be slow, but the snarky bartenders provide plenty of entertainment.

Hard Rock Cafe offers a 15% discount on food for Preferred and Premier Annual Pass holders and military personnel with ID; 10% AAA discounts also apply. You can sign up for a Hard Rock Rewards membership at members .hardrock.com to get additional offers and earn points on purchases (including alcohol). Be aware that admission to the adjoining Hard Rock Live concert hall is completely separate from the restaurant, though you can sometimes order food from the venue’s bar.

Setting and Atmosphere

This is the biggest Hard Rock Cafe in the world (or in the Universe, as they like to say in this part of town). Shaped like the Roman Coliseum, the two-story dining room is a massive museum of rock art memorabilia. The circular center bar features a full-size pink 1959 Cadillac spinning overhead. If you need to be told that this is a noisy restaurant, you’ve never been to a Hard Rock Cafe before.

House Specialties

Barbecue pork sandwich, charbroiled burgers, barbecue ribs, New York strip steak, hot fudge brownie, and milkshakes.
