About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- EmilyM230 contributionsHard Rock is a must visit iconic place to eat - excellent mealWe always visit Hard Rock Cafe whenever we go somewhere new, and have been to hard rock before in Orlando and had another great experience this time we visited! We went twice on our recent visit and the reason we went twice was to have the delicious large pretzel with the beer cheese! It was an appetiser we got to share between 3 and was the perfect amount before our mains. I had the southwest chicken bowl and it was fabulous, highly recommend. My partner had a burger and our son had the kids Messi burger which came with free Messi mini ball from the gift shop which he was really pleased with! Great original hard rock vibes in the restaurant, loved itWritten October 2, 2024
- Bennett430 contributionsGreatPerfect place love it so welcoming and delightful Always happy to return Very busy but great service every time Love it so muchWritten September 19, 2024
- Tony R0 contributionsBest wings ever!This is always a must do when we come to Orlando, a quick stop for wings for lunch before heading back to the parks! Service is great and the wings are absolutely amazing! We also had the nachos (these are ok) and the shrimp from the sharer menu (very tasty!)Written September 13, 2024
- Louise B0 contributionsFamily mealThe restaurant is very nice inside and outside, one of the biggest restaurants I’ve ever been in. The food was lovely, lots of options including vegetarian and vegan options. Cocktails where lovely and generous amount of alcohol inside them.Written September 6, 2024
- Graham_safc0 contributionsSub standard food, extortionate pricesHard Rock is usually a family vacation favourite, this year was a real disappointment. 40 minute wait for a table, then we were dropped onto a table that was too small & a real struggle to accommodate 4 people as well as drinks, meals, napkins, condiments, etc. Seever was pleasant enough and clearly dealing with too much, took the drinks order then came back saying they didn’t have 2 of the drinks we’d asked for - followed by another member bringing the drinks that they didn’t have 15 minutes later! Appetisers came and the wings had to go back as they were cold, the replacements were much better. Entree order wasn’t taken until we were 1/2 way through appetisers so we waited ages for that to arrive after entrees were cleared away. The buffalo chicken sandwiches were made with thigh meat, they were horribly rubbery and chewy. The Diablo burger and chips looked like something McDonald’s would have served up. Kicker at the end was $165 check including tip, pretty disgraceful for sub standard food and fraught service.Written August 28, 2024
- 651JohnB0 contributionsAwful service and poor foodI don’t know whether it was an off night but our family dining experience was awful from start to finish. Waited for ages for our server and when he came we ordered the drinks and food. Waited 30 minutes for the drinks, then only some came. There was no Stellar ! So ordered 2 Bud and I Heineken. Bud came ages later, the Heineken …well. I had got my drink that was Heineken but it was flat. My son in law who was waiting for his Heineken resorted to go look for the waiter so he could get the drink and finally 10 minutes later it turned up. When he complained the server’s response was “it’s not my fault”. Which it clearly was. Finally the food came, again except was son in law’s . Meals were cold when they should have been hot, or bland when they should have been spicy. My son was given 6 chicken wings for $18.99, that ain’t value or money or even close. Meanwhile back to my son in law’s meal, we have nearly finished eating when his turned up and guess what … it was wrong. We’d have enough by then, told the server to forget it and get the manager. He was very good and handled the complaint how you would expect, so well done to him. We split into 3 families so there were three checks, fine each paid on HRC tablet but then a random fourth appeared, nothing to do with us, but on the way out my son was asked to pay it, needless to say he didn’t and that was the end of our dining out.Written August 26, 2024

- James W0 contributionsPoorService was very slow, and menu options for vegetarians and particularly vegans are very limited. Incredibly overpriced for what you getWritten August 19, 2024
- honor200 contributionsGreat serviceService from Tori was excellent couldn’t have been more friendly or patient with us, we couldn’t decide what to order! The drinks were bought out super quick and didn’t need to wait too long for the food. There was a bone in my chicken burger which was a bit of a shock, didn’t want a fuss made so just reported it at the end of the meal.Written August 2, 2024
- CS-Linlithgow0 contributionsGreat for families with great atmosphereWe’ve been a few times over the years but this time it was just my 9 year old and I as my eldest wanted sushi! We got to the Hard Rock and never seen it as busy. But as there were only two of us we got seated quickly. The server was great, food really nice (fajitas and kids burger) and normal prices for Orlando / hard rock.Written July 24, 2024
- joanrosep0 contributionsGreat server, Elexis.Huge shout out to our server Elexis. She was the best server during at our entire trip. Even my kids noticed and complemented her. We had lunch reservations. Food was great with gluten free options. The burgers were delicious. My son Was not Not a fan of flat breads because the sauce was diced tomatoes vs regular sauce. But other than that everything was great.Written July 21, 2024
- Clare G0 contributionsSuperb service and foodVisited here recently and instantly got warm welcome to our table . Food was absolutely delicious got loads and drinks nice. Place was bit dark so difficult to see all the pictures and items on wall .Written July 13, 2024
- MissJ4270 contributionsSlow service and food not greatFirst time eating here and was quite disappointed. Upon entering the staff were lovely and we were shown to our seat, our drinks order was taken followed by our food order. Drinks came first then after 45 minutes still no food, no one had come to update us or ask if we wanted more drinks so we asked a member of staff walking past and was told “I can’t get you a drink you need to ask you server” (we hadn’t seen our server once since he took our food order). My partner walked round and did eventually find our server but we shouldn’t have to hunt a member of staff down to ask for a drink! The food came when we had been in there for roughly an hour, we had steam which we asked for medium rare and it came well done, we should of asked to change it but at this point we were hungry and had already waited an hour. Other dish we had was salmon noodle bowl which was very bland and soggy at the bottom of the bowl. Kids meals were standard burger and chips. For what it cost us it really wasn’t worth it. The place is huge so I don’t know if we went when it was understaffed or whether it is always like this. Slow service and poor food spoilt it for us.Written July 11, 2024
- doctorfoxtrot0 contributionsPositive Vibes pervade insideThis place is quite huge there is a higher chance there can be a table available for families or couples . Loved the decor , ambiance . Even dedicated rooms for historical music memorabilia. The food menu is more of typical American. We had salad , chicken sandwich and baby back ribs. On a subjective note , I liked the ribs and nachos. Even when we are not yet finished , I was given already our bill with tip suggestions. Anyway I’m not making a big deal out of it. We were on vacation and it is what it is. By the way , don’t forget purchasing some souvenirs and merchandise. Staff are just ok. I forgot the name of my server but he was cool and patient dealing with us.Written July 11, 2024
- MMviews0 contributionsBiggest hard rock in the world and just what you’d expectWalked in off the street and got a table for 6 in a back room. Bit quieter which was nice. It’s massive and lots of rooms to look at all the stuff on the walls. We were a bit rushed but that’s quite American. Plates taken before everyone has finished, asked if you want dessert while still eating your entree. Food was just what you expect from a hard rock and well done. Service full on but friendly.Written July 6, 2024

I'm on vacation with the family in Orlando and decided to take the gang to the Hard Rock Cafe for nice dinner. After a 25 minute wait for a table, the concierge seated us at the very end of the restaurant, in a hidden dining room, as if we were sick and transmitting covid. We passed several empty tables until we reached ours, where we were the only ones there. Afterwards, the waiter was very rude to us when he saw that my wife, who was not hungry, wanted to share a plate with my son. Terrible experience... I do not recommend, nor do I intend to go back there.

The atmosphere of Hard Rock is definitely something to enjoy and probably the only reason I gave this 2 not 1 star. The service however was shocking! Our server (Ana) was unbelievably rude, I don’t believe I have experienced anything quite like it. We ordered without a problem and after a long wait for our food to came a steak turned up (my mother had order a steak burger) we told our server this was not what we ordered and she proceeded to argue with us that we had, my mother had ordered from the gluten free menu and had pointed to the burger (on the other side of the menu from the steak). The server then came out with the menu and told my mother that this (the steak) was what she ordered. Another server had brought out the steak burger (by which point we had all finished eating) and she continued to argue her point. We were hoping to see the fireworks at Universal but due to this missed it. I was also personally upset as I had wanted a hoodie from there but after this experience I just wanted to leave.

We had a great family meal at the restaurant. There was a large group of us of different ages. We’ve eaten at Hard Rock Cafes before, and this one didn’t disappoint. Our server Pamela was brilliant, she was very helpful and friendly. She kept all our refills topped up throughout the meal and service was quick so not too much waiting for food. The food was very good, everyone enjoyed it. With the atmosphere and memorabilia it makes a great night out and nice finish to a busy day at Universal theme parks.

We have visited HRC every time we have been in Orlando for the last 10 years. This was the last time we will go. It has been getting progressively worse over the years but this time even the food was mediocre. The service was efficient rather than friendly, the starters took so long we cancelled the order, the mains were the worst burgers we had in Orlando in the 2 weeks we were there and although we were compensated by the manager for our inconvenience (he gave us 50% off the food), the overall experience was poor.

We stopped here after a day in the park fully expecting to have to wait ages but we didn’t we were seated straight away we had my father in a wheelchair so we were tucked out of the way by the stairs which suited us. Our server was excellent refilling drinks helping my son pick his food and making his milk look a little more fancy honestly his service was excellent I wish id caught his name. The food came quickly and was excellent possibly the best beef burger I have ever had. We loved the musical décor and the music its self and all in all it was a great experience we were so full tho that we didn’t get to try dessert so hopefully, we can go back for that next time.

This place is a must! We were a walk in family of four at 5pm on a weekday evening and were amazed to get a table. We were greeted by friendly accommodating staff who allocated us a table and handed us menus. Our server came over in minutes to greet us and explained the cocktail menu and made recommendations. We made our order and the food came out spot on, I would recommend the Cowboy steak. The server was very polite, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We have never had such good service.
The dining area was spotless and is great hard rock style well presented. Music playing out of TVs, memorabilia on the walls. There is access for disabled guests and is a short distance between Islands and Universal. I can not fault this place. You get what you pay for here and I recommend a visit before going into the Hard Rock shop.

This is a beautiful restaurant and whenever we visit a country and it has a Hard Rock Cafe we always have a meal.
This is the largest Hard Rock Cafe in the world and is beautifully decorated. We visited for lunch as a family with a plan to return another evening during our stay to celebrate our anniversary.
When we arrived we were directed to the welcome desk in to be seated. We were greeted by a Staff member asking if we wanted a photograph, no welcome or hello.....we were a little taken back as it wasn't the place you would normally have a picture pand they did not explain what it was for so we kind of stood there wanting a table and fubling around for our mobile phones to pass to the person to take a picture, for the staff to step to one side to show us a camera set up.... we are still unsure if this was free or a charged service it was extremely confusing.
When we got to the staff member who would be seating us she took us to one of the first tables which felt almost on the edge of the main restaurant, if it was busy we would have been fine with this however there was lots of tables free in the centre, so we asked to move which and was reluctantly taken to another table which was still on the edge however my wife asked to be seated in a booth which after a radio conversation and a disgruntled look and a comment around it's not her table we were seated in a better location. This welcome did put wife off staying however I did convince her to stay, however she did refuse to eat there.
The waitress we had was nice and the food as always was amazing, i had a BBQ burger and fries, I felt a side of coleslaw or a few more fried would have filled the void on my plate (see picture). The Messi menu is a great touch and my son really enjoyed his meal. The cocktail and drinks were also on point.
The memorabilia around the restaurant is great however there was a disconnect between the artists on the wall and music played as I don't think the hour we were there we heard one "rock song".
I am disappointed as we were due to go for an evening meal for our wedding anniversary (something we always do if we are close to a Hard Rock Cafe) however my wife did not want to go back 😞😞
The staff in the shop are amazing and really welcoming and if we had the same welcome and customer service they gave us this would be a very different review.

Expected better quality food but dinner was average. Wings were over fried if that is possible. Service was very good but the food quality could be better otherwise a good spot to have a quick bite.

It’s three years since we were last here and were excited about returning. However all four of our dishes were below standard and very dry, even the broccoli was warmed, softened by cooking but dry, as were the steak, chicken and burger. The menu was more limited than we remembered and although there were many free tables there were wait times of over thirty minutes. Obvious shortage of staff.

We visited this Hard Rock five years ago as well as many other Hard Rocks across the country. Something seemed different this time. From the friendly, attentive staff to the quality of the food they’ve definitely raised their game. We liked it so much we came back one more time before leaving. Margaritaville pay attention. You’re losing repeat customers.
