Hard Rock Cafe, Berlin. Why not. Sometimes when you're away from home, you seek food that is familiar because you know just what to expect. This one is right on the corner, off Kurfürstendamm. When you walk through the front door, the retail shop is on the left and the restaurant is on the right. The store is open earlier than the restaurant, so they have a red rope in front that staff move once open. The ambiance is the same as any other Hard Rock Cafe. They have the usual photographs of musicians on the wall. I sat at a table right under a photo of Sting. There's a small car in the back and one of Robert Smith's guitars hanging on the wall near the kitchen. When I walked in, the host asked if I would be drinking only or ordering food. They wish to seat customers at the bar when it's drinks only. There are also tables outdoors, but because it was raining, I sat indoors. I ordered a blackberry sangria and fried chicken sliders. Both were good. My drink tasted better than my food. I was full afterwards. The sliders were a little larger than expected. It was like eating 1-1/2 of a regular sized sandwich. Staff were great. Friendly, efficient, and spoke English. Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut. After lunch, I bought a couple souvenir Berlin t-shirts. Might as well. read more

The Hard Rock Cafés are all across the globe. What you'll find within the walls of all of them, it's some mediocre Rock 'n Roll roll blasting over the speakers, as well as some semi decent food. From attending the opening of the very first Hard Rock Cafe, onto visiting many of them as they spread out across the globe, I feel like I have a pretty good idea about what they are all about. The thing is, most of them are very-very mediocre. The atmosphere isn't that great, this service is generally not that good, and the food is, (how can I say it), boring. This being said, the Berlin Hard Rock Cafe really has a lot more to offer than many of the other ones stationed in cities around the world. The thing that I noticed most about this Hard Rock Cafe is that the food here is very good. The service here is also very good, as well. In association with Servers that are very friendly, very nice, and really take care of their customers. Thus, among all of the remaining Hard Rock Cafés that I've been to over the last couple of years, the Berlin location really stands out. So, if you're in Berlin, and you want what the Hard Rock Cafe has to offer, this is your place to get it. read more

I, personally, happen to love the Hard Rock Cafe. Not for the food, but the atmosphere, decor, and memorabilia. I don't always eat there, but I do get a shirt. Hubs and I did eat HERE, as we were meeting up with a friend from home who happened to be in Berlin the same time we were. The food was fine, but nothing to write home about. Service was great and seating is actually on the second floor (first floor in Germany). It was a cool September night, so although the balcony doors were open, no one was eating outside. We were allowed to go out and take in the views, however. The shop is on the ground floor and is small compared to others I've been in, but well stocked. This is a one and done for me. I don't need to go back, but I would if I was with someone who wanted to go. 84/2025 read more

Walking around in Charlottenburg we came upon this restaurant around 2 pm just in time for lunch. Can't remember when's the last time I went to a Hard Rock Cafe anywhere but this turned out to be a good choice and the place felt much less touristy than some of the other options in the same area. It's got two floors with an outdoor wrap around balcony section on the upper floor. Spacious seating, nicely decorated in classic fashion with musical instruments and rock'n roll memorabilia etc. Second floor much brighter with more natural light. We had a burger and fried chicken sliders - both quite good and tasty. Price ok but with drinks came to 50 euros for two before tip (yes they like tips here too but at much lower amounts than in the US starting from 5%). read more

Must visit location again. All locations have rock-star memorabilia and it's cool. This one has a guitar made out of rock and metal remains of the Berlin Wall. Of course, there is the Trebant car used by U2 in Achtung Babyin 1991, and there are only 5 in the world! So, on top of the cool memorabilia, you have a piece of history. Raquel, our waitress, was very sweet and brought our steaks, drinks and dessert just as we asked. #ruizmedina #travel #revengetravel #familytravel #traveltips #germany #berlin #hardrock #hardrockcafe #hardrockcafeberlin #hardrockcafehatcollector read more

Food was really fresh, hot and tasted great. The service was awesome. Ici from the bar served us and he was friendly and fast. His English was perfect as well! read more

Always a stop in any city or country I go to, since I'm a Hard Rock and Metal lover. Nice place, they all have their own flare, little nuances to set it apart from others. This one is no exception, cool collection from artists, always enjoy walking around seeing what was donated from bands. read more

Obviously, if you are in Berlin, there are a thousand other more authentic places to eat than the Hard Rock Cafe. My friend and I were staying just around the corner and had gotten in late in the afternoon. Hard Rock was a choice based on convenience. I ordered a local favorite, a curry-wurst sausage sandwich. I had never eaten curry-wurst before and was unsure of what to expect. The sandwich was delectable, but just too much to eat in one sitting. It's Hard Rock, so you know before walking in that your meal will be pricey. As I said, there are more authentic places to eat, but Hard Rock offers a fair share of local cuisine. It shouldn't be completely discounted. read more

For someone who is used to restaurants accepting card payments, it was very hard to find a place in Germany that would be willing to take anything but cash. So what is one to do? Go to an American chain restaurant that surely takes card. And for dinner, it was either this or fast food. I don't actually think I've dined at any Hard Rock Cafe before, so I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of standards. I didn't find it to be so touristy, just a regular business in a touristy district. After seating myself at the downstairs bar, I ordered a drink and asked the bartender what burger was best and ordered his recommendation. Both bartenders on shift were really nice. The food, however, was ordinary. Not the place to go if you want a good, authentic American-style burger. But the bar service was what made the visit okay, so maybe the Hard Rock would be the place to go for a couple of kick back drinks. read more

Hard Rock Cafe Berlin - Burger had a good presentation but bland execution. - American Near Me - Berlin, BE

I've been to this location multiple times. The food is good, they're getting four stars for slow service. The waiters are very nice but it takes what seems "forever" for the food to come out or for them to bring the check. Other than that, I like this place. The upstairs has a large seating area for dining. Traditional Hard Rock Cafe memorabilia dresses their walls. I particularly liked the guitar made out of the Berlin Wall. That's original. We also got a free dessert coupon from a tour bus. Check those throw-away brochures in your hotel. Free ice cream Sunday! read more

Friendly service, but the wait was too long - over 50 min. between our arrival and getting our food on a not so busy service Burgers were OK but did not taste as good as our last time in a Hard Rock Cafe read more

The whole cafe is really nice design. When I first walked in, it really gave me the wow. There are different things hanging on the wall, things that related to some classic artists, musicians and so on. Very stylish, cultural and interesting. it also got a really good atmosphere, it's really a nice place to hang around. The food I found it tasted good, especially meats here. The Burgers here for me personally, I think is not bad, but it could be better. Salads are also great! Ribs and beaf steaks are something you should try when you are here. They tasted fantastic! Also love the cocktails here. Their deserts are also good, I tried couple of them. I think if you like sweet, that's something you can't miss here. Personally, I like the Oreo cheesecake. It's kinda pricy here though. The service is really nice, very friendly, If you have troubles with your German, you can simply just speak with them in English. There are two floors of the cafe. At the second floor you can take the seat at the baloney and enjoy the great view of Kurfürstendamm. It also seem to be great place for parties. Next to the entrance/exit, you can find their very own shop, selling stuff from badges to T-shirts of their own brand. When you have time, don't don't forget to check it out, maybe you will find something cool as a souvenir to take back home. read more

This is a some what jokey review of the place, so don't take it seriously. I know one of the worker there and I made a joke while being served that the "service was horrible", and that I would give a bad yelp review, here I am. Also they don't use caged chicken eggs, pretty sure nearly no one gets specifically "caged" chicken eggs. As a honest opinion though, this place is great, great food, great sauce, just a good place overall. read more

It's a Hard Rock in Berlin.. somewhat limited menu and drinks, but it has the basics when you need something familiar and you can't figure out where to go on your first night in town... read more

Genuine American feeling is most definitely here. From the ridiculously overpriced hamburgers, the highly visible placement of Heinz and Coca-Cola products, to the fact they TAKE CREDIT CARDS and even let you pay in US currency - you'll feel right at home. I had a bacon cheese burger and it was really, really good. Perfectly medium rare and succulently dripping with goodness - served, as it should be, with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and an onion ring - I could have been in Texas. Except it was better because I had it with German beer on tap! Heaven! WIth my hamburger cravings nicely sated I traipsed across the street to the Apple Store and my "in America" feeling continued. Oh, and note to other reviews - why in the world would you order a currywurst here? Not recommend. Not here. No. Don't do it! read more

Great for parties, and warming up for a long going out night. The staff are all english speaking, and very friendly and service oriented...not exactly a given thing here in Berlin. The burgers could take a bit more sauce, but the meat is very tasty. The big surprise are the deserts here...Do not miss trying the cakes here....some have a weird salty taste in them, but they still taste amazing.....some of the best tasting cakes of my life. The cocktails here are legendary, especially classics like Huricane or Mojito. read more

What to say. Two stars for food and an extra star for the wonderful bartender. She was very pleasant and nice. The beer was good but that's pretty hard to screw up. The hamburger was odd. It had cheese obviously put on long after the burger was cooked. It wasn't melted. The onion ring was good but a little flaccid and the bacon was delicious. The fries were inedible. They somehow managed to be both cold and partially undercooked. Were it not for the staff I would have given it two stars. read more

Ridiculously overpriced and boring to boot. Considering the wonderful places there are in Berlin to eat and drink, this one seems like a loser. We were not excited about the menu, and the place is crowded, and kind of shabby. I guess if you miss your fatty American food- you should go here, but if you want to eat somewhere nice, go elsewhere. read more

If you miss an American dining experience, this is the place for you. Their Burgers are very good too. A bit too pricey. Service is friendly. read more

Was never a fan in the US, always seemed so kitsch. When we moved to Germany, there weren't tons of options for American food so we decided to try it out. This restaurant is much more laid back and chill and modern than the ones I had seen in the States. I got the ribs (and have every other time we have gone since) and they were actually really good. This is the first, and only so far, place I have found in Germany to get good American ribs. My wife ordered the fried shrimp, and they were great too! Everything we have tried since has been great, and you can tell the food is made fresh and not all just frozen (save maybe the fries). You can also get plain American style iced tea here (and free refills on all sodas and iced teas!) which is one of only two places in the country I have seen it at. Love this place! Also, people, tip your waiters here in Germany. They make more than in the US, but it is not that want. Hate hearing stories of Americans, and others, stiffing them. 10% is a good figure if the service isn't bad. read more

The best burger in Berlin on par with the Bird. I don't like that music is so loud for eating, the line can be long and you might wait for some time to get it but this is the best burger you can find in the city. read more

Great food with mediocre service. We were seated quickly which was nice. But after we ordered we watched several parties that arrived after us receive their food before we did. And what's with all the pop music playing instead of rock & roll? They also try at every chance they can to get you to purchase their merchandise. That's great if that's your thing, but I'm not spending €27 on a cotton T-shirt. read more

Everything is pretty standard hard rock in Europe. The service is good and you get refills on soda and ice tea.

Nice place,friendly staff,but not so great service.Steak ordered as medium well was rare,second wine that my friend ordered was never brought to table and couple of other details.Cocktails was big disappointment.Too sweet and VERY weak,one would think that cocktail over 8 euros should have some booze in it (tasted like some children version).However,nachos as starter was real good and hamburgers was delicious.Good quality food,good wine and draft beer (forget cocktails if you know how the good ones suppose to taste like). Dogs allowed. read more

It can get very busy here and you can end up waiting for a table for some time. I chose to take a seat outside and eat as I was in a bit of hurry but it was ok being outside. I enjoyed my food and service was quite slow after the mix up as they couldnt find me as they thought I was inside, it was better after that. Staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Too expensive for Berlin. Usually Hard Rock is very vibrant and cool. This cafe is very boring, kind of slow, not really good service. The floor upstairs looks more like a inside pool than a real Hard Rock Cafe. The cafe is a little loud, specially when nobody is there. You walk in and there is nobody at the front, so it looks like you are in a dinner. Recommended only if you are in the hood, it's rainny and you are missing some good music and american food!!!! Carefull if you want to pay with foreign credit cards. Pay always in Euros. read more

I have only good things to say about this place. The food is delicious, I tried a variety of products and each one better than the other. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful and super professional. The space is beautiful, with a fantastic balcony overlooking the avenue and always with good music playing. The only thing that I didn't think is very fair are the prices, is a little bit expensive. I advise everyone to visit the Hard Rock Cafe Berlin. read more

Overpriced burgers. I've had burgers for half the price that taste twice as good. The interior and the staff however are amazing, so this is definitely a place to go just for the experience. Or you could just skip it. read more

Over priced!!! Fajitas are ok!!!! Best thing about this place is the service,they are really friendly!!!!!

Great food, great drinks in the Berlin Hard Rock Cafe! (And great t-shirts!) The kids get their meal in a dish shaped like a guitar, which everyone at the table loved. I had a fajita which was simply mouth-watering fun, just like being back home in New York! We had to wait even with a reservation, but it does seem to help to have one. The decor isn't what it used to be. There are just a few guitars and costumes hanging on the walls. I didn't notice any other instruments. (Maybe cause no one plays instruments anymore?? JK) But you still get lots of loud videos playing in the background--if you don't like what's playing, that's your problem! read more

In general, I'm not crazy for hamburger type meals. But my young daughters are, so we went to the Hard Rock. It was a pleasant surprise: service was friendly and food at the high range of the hamburger experience. If you do not care for the rock music, sit on the balcony on the first etage, in the summer at least. read more

Im a sucker for the Hard Rock... this was the best one yet! It is so beautiful and so convenient to get to and they couldn't have picked a better location. Besides the mouth-watering food and fun cocktails the views were spectacular from the balcony. The service was fast and our server (Danielli) asked us which language we speak and was such a good time. I can't wait to go back. read more

As with all Hard Rock Cafes, high marks for the memorabilia, low marks for the food. I was pretty impressed with the Trabant they had inside the restaurant. To be honest, I didn't eat here so I can't really speak to the food quality. I've had enough overpriced, under-quality Hard Rock Cafe meals to know better. I just come in to see the memorabilia and buy the souvenirs. I've now officially stopped buying the souvenirs as well because they've gone well beyond the tipping point price-wise. It's not like anyone gets excited about the Hard Rock Cafe or their T-Shirts anymore anyway so why would I pay that kind of money for something that hardly anyone cares about? I really wanted a refrigerator magnet. I bought one in Chicago about five years ago and I wanted one from Germany but I'm not going to pay more than $15 for it. I was annoyed to pay $10 in Chicago. Anyway, if you like their food and don't mind the prices, keep on keepin' on. I'm not even going to go out of my way to see the memorabilia anymore. read more

Great food and excellent service! Very nice and polite waiter who offered us free refills and free coffee due to that the food took a bit longer. But the burger was perfectly made, great taste and the fries was also very good. Would recommend to anyone I know to eat here! read more

Hard Rock.... You know them. What sets this one apart is the staff. Had lunch there and it was prepared in less than 10 minutes. Also, had a great conversation with my waiter. The food is good if you like American dish. I enjoyed the stay and will likely make a stop there whenever I can. read more

Really good food! Really bad service! Leave this place to the tourists or just come in and enjoy a quick burger at the bar.

The trio barbecue was on point. Ribs were fall of the bone good and the pulled pork was definitely my favorite. The chicken was fantastic and not over cooked or dry. I definitely would rate the service 5 stars. Overall it was a good dinner. Would recommend. read more

Obviously you would expect this to be touristy, more expensive compared to other bars and a little bit tacky but even considering this it is a let down. The decor is nothing special and not on the same level as Hard Rock Cafe's in other cities. The whole ambiance is more regular restaurant, cafe and not Hard Rock Cafe at all. The food is average and the beers are standard German brews for around 5 EUR a pint. Won't go there again. read more

Good friendly service even though they where busy. Portion size was massive especially starters (nachos) definitely for 3 or more not for 1 or 2. Good quality was good. Did not manage to get to dessert! read more
