I find it unbelievable Hard Rock has decided to close this restaurant. We live in New Jersey and love to visit Pittsburgh. whenever we come to Pittsburgh we make sure to stop for dinner at the Hard Rock. We went there last Sunday and everything was great as usual. staff is super nice. food is delicious. I don't find the station square area unsafe. it is unfortunately not bustling as it once was with shops and bars so I could understand Hard Rock moving but not closing. this past summer Hard Rock had a global burger contest and the Pittsburgh location won. we were in Europe over the summer visiting family and went to a Hard Rock in Prague and Munich. the greeter at the Hard Rock in Prague recommended we try the Pittsburgher. he felt that was the best of the finalists. this was the first place I tried it and he was right. that burger was the best I have ever had. According to the contest the winner of the contest was to be a part of the regular menu. Hard Rock apparently reneged on that. I had the Pittsburgher in Munich, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and New York this summer. After Labor Day we were back in Philly and were told they no longer have the Pittsburgher available. the server said she thought it would come back after new menus came out from the corporate office. I had hoped it would be back when we got to Pittsburgh. unfortunately it is still not available. I did ask if I could get it and was told unfortunately no.i was told the chef at the pittsburgh location created the burger. by closing this location Hard Rock is going to lose a excellent chef. I read they were closing due to lease expiration. hard rock should look for another location. perhaps near the stadiums or I would recommend looking into a restaurant in PPG paints arena. Pittsburgh should not lose their hard rock, their chef or that great burger. I really would like to know why Hard rock said the winning burger would become a permanent part of the menu and then did not follow thru. it violates the trust of the unity members like me who cast our vote by purchasing the Pittsburgher at each Hard rock they visited. The staff and chef of the Pittsburgh Hard Rock deserve much better than what the executives are doing to them.

I remember Hard Rock Cafe’s as being noisy, crowded places with fun and loud music, amazing memorabilia and while not outstanding food, at least a menu with a lot of choices. We took my daughter and her friends tonight to celebrate her high school graduation. At 7:30 on a Thursday there was hardly anyone there and they said they closed at 8?! They did seat us and we got a nachos app and mostly burgers all around, the menu was sadly super limited. Our server was super sweet, efficient and attentive and the food was about Applebee’s level good. But wow, what a non Hard Rock like experience. It was really depressing.

We made a reservation they open table which I would recommend. With indoor dining restrictions it makes it less stressful. We were seated promptly and our server was attentive. I ordered wings however was told that they were all out, the table across from us must have orders the last batch because they were chomping on them while I had to figure something else out. I ended up with the steak salad. It was good but way too big. I could not eat it enough to look like I put a dent into it. The food came out pretty speedy. Good sale in the Rock shop also. Don't forget AAA card gets you 10% off dining bill.

Good food, server took good care of out larger group. I realize it is the Hard Rock, but the music in bathroom was way too loud, and bathroom had odor. Everything else fine.

We went there for lunch. We were visiting the city and went in because we were going to be in Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the next day. The food was good, nothing yelling "Pittsburgh" at you - but that's what you get for going to a chain. I have no complaints, food was good, service was attentive, atmosphere was as expected.

Gray haired manager was super friendly (took our video temperatures). There was a mom, dad and daughter who were all jerks about wearing masks and getting their temps and he handled himself very well with them. Appreciate the effort to keep everyone safe so that we can enjoy our meals. Stephanie was a super server and made our birthday lunch very enjoyable.

We had a great time at the Pittsburgh Hard Rock. We were cheerfully greeted upon entry . The menu is typical Hard Rock excellence. Great tasting wings and hamburgers. Service was excellent.

Went to get dinner on Friday 7/24/20. Online said they were open until 10 pm. Walked in at 9:05 pm was greeted at the door and was told they were closed. I said online showed open until 10 he said because of Covid 19 they close early sometimes. Will we not go to a hard rock anytime we travel due to this. I feel for the servers that could of made some extra money.

Right on the river in the Station Square area. Consistent with other HR Cafes. Patio seating right on the river with downtown views of Pittsburgh. Great service and beer selection on tap.

They have to do something about the city. It’s a mess down there. The sooner the better please. I miss this place. It’s a nice restaurant like many others. But being harassed down there is way too common and a lot of crime lately. Please do something.

Not a great experience and this makes me sad as a Pittsburgher...disorganized entry...I paid cover and my husband walked in. Door staff were clueless. Got seats at the bar and ordered food and 5 minutes later someone came and said they needed to take our bar stools away ..really now we need to eat our dinner standing up!!! Apparently it is standing room only when there is a band !!! Also a foul smell...I. the bar and in the restrooms...smelled moldy!! Something is not right at this place...yuck !!

We just ordered burgers but they were good. Service was great even though they were gearing up for their New Years party.
