    We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe in Honolulu recently and we had a great experience. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartenders who were very pleasant, helpful and prompt. We were planning on having dinner later so we decided to order some appetizers to tide us over. The Boneless Chicken wings were delicious and mixed with a fantastic buffalo sauce. We also got the Nachos and they were delicious even without adding any additional protein to them. Overall we had a great experience here!

    When in Honolulu....go to somewhere husband is familiar (just because of our food choices differ a lot). Anyway, on the 1st floor is the gift shop and then go upstairs for the restaurant. The place and decor is really nice....we were seated overlooking the road. I got the Swiss Mushroom Smash Burger, a two smashed & stacked burgers seasoned and seared medium-well, with Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, leaf lettuce, vine-ripened tomato and dijonnaise. It was good for a hungry person. Hubby got the Original Legendary Burger which he said was good. Whole experience is okay...except when the birds start to fly over....ayiyi!

    Mahalo for another fantastic HRC meal. Vibes are very Hawaiian, which we love. Great seats to see the hustle of Waikiki post marathon. Loved the special menu items for the marathon as well. Forgot our servers name, but he was spot on with his recommendations.

    Food was pretty good but nothing super special. The burger was solid and the fries were good, but overall it felt more like a standard chain experience than anything memorable. Service was fine and the atmosphere was what you'd expect from Hard Rock. Not bad, just not something I'd go out of my way for.

    I hadn't been to a Hard Rock Cafe since 1991. I thought they were all closing. My teen son wanted to come here. He found it while he was walking the street with some friends last night. There is nothing Hawai'i about it except for it's on the island. In a way, I guess that is nice to get food you know you will like and understand what it is. The smash burgers were excellent. Except for the view I would have thought I was on the mainland. Nice staff and decor. Amaya was an excellent server. I enjoyed the local beer. If you want authentic Hawaiian or Asian cuisine, go elsewhere. If you want an American staple, eat here!

    If you are looking for a place to celebrate your Birthday while being on vacation in Oahu Honolulu, this is the place - Hard Rock Cafe! Food was delicious! Ambience was impactful! However the most importantly, service! We had the best server Danielle! She is Amazing, lovely, helpful, sweet and just wonderful! We are so happy! Thank you so much, Danielle! You made our double Birthday very special! We will remember this for a long time! We appreciate everything! Hard Rock Cafe, we will be back soon! Matt & Anna

    Hawaii is the best for a Hard Rock Cafe and I always make a stop when im in town. The food is always super tasty, and it's a fun atmosphere. Seriously, the customer service is always top-notch too. I highly recommend checking it out if you're ever there!

    Really wanted to like this restaurant, we do not have a hard rock café in Seattle due to it being closed years ago. I heard a lot of people say how the food was not good. Me and my fiancé were in Honolulu and I saw the hard rock and wanted to try it. Looking at their website And then you looked really appetizing so we decided to give it a try! Started off with chicken nachos, those were OK nothing good nothing bad just kind of blasé. I ordered the steak fajitas, and my fiancé had the messi chicken sandwich which was for a limited time only unloaded fries. Immediately took a bite of my fajita and was not pleased. The meat was not seasoned nor were any of the onions or bell peppers. I was starving so I ate it, but there was absolutely no flavor :( I actually ended up using the avocado cream of sauce that came with our nachos, which made the fajita edible. But would not order those in the future! My fiancé's chicken sandwich was absolutely incredible, two chicken Katsu patties, loaded with cheese on a soft bun, it was huge, and normally my fiancé can finish a chicken sandwich and he couldn't finish it, no worries, though we took the rest home ! Service by Alex was amazing, he was attentive, very pleasant and took care of us, this has to be one of the coolest restaurants I've never ever been into, music really wasn't our type that was playing that night!

    Really cool hard rock. Great bar area. Service was A+. Cool live music, great food, and drinks. Menu has lots of good meals and drinks to choose from. Also, really good for breakfast too. We stopped in here on a whim because the place we wanted was busy. surprisingly the breakfast here is really good.

    Chicken, waffles, bacon and eggs with hot honey and syrup.

    Mother's Day brunch for a group of 8. The chicken and waffles were amazing. Fast service great waitress, live music was enjoyable. Would have gave 5 stars but we asked for parking validation for bank of Hawaii parking garage next door and they put the sticker on receipt to QR scan. We all walked out to our cars then realized the hosted Gabe is stickers for last month April 15th not today May 10. The validation didn't work cause they're only good for the 4 hr period day of. How the hell do you even have a book of stickers still from last month. Kinda shady made us feel as if it was on purpose. Managers might wa t to check your people. Hopefully it wasn't on purpose to get out of paying the $4 differences m.

    Hard Rock Cafe Honolulu is fun vibes with not-memorable food but memorable vibes! I went with my husband for his birthday and it was our first Hard Rock Cafe visit, ever! We are familiar with the brand but we didnt ever eat here. When we came in, we were greeted by an awesome staff team! Their service was so nice and attentive. I was impressed with how kind, quick, and cool our server was. I can't remember her name, but she was ELITE! When it's your birthday, except a ROCKIN announcement and a sweet treat! I will say The food was very mid... I can tell the recipes should be delicious and well balanced, but things were not cooked consistently and it tasted like they were made with minimal effort. However, it was dinner time and I can understand how kitchens can get during the rush! The vibe in here is so fun. Music videos playing and awesome interior! Then live music plays!!! Also, don't forget to buy some merch!

    Cosmopolitan and an old-fashioned with Woodford.

    Today we ate at Hard Rock Cafe! The top deck is amazing being seated outside on the deck with the trade winds blowing is simply incredible. This has been our go to spot while on vacation! Their drinks are very well made. The service was/is excellent and the food just as good. The Pineapple Upside Down French Toast is a winner!! You must try them!!

    The food was great . The ambience was cool and relaxing with a nice view . The service was excellent our waitress was very nice. Only reason I knocked off a star was because the drinks were a bit strong and took away from the flavor .

At the time, he stated that him and his partner were in a competition to see how many triples they could sell, but figured I'd keep that in the back of my mind for our next visit. We came here on a recommendation from my boyfriend's coworker and I'm glad we came! The burgers and fries were made fresh. There are only a hand full of tables inside and a small bar area, but there is also outdoor seating outside, too! A neat fact is that there were pictures posted from when the shop first opened up and to see They Daley as a fixture in Chinatown is amazing since they've stuck around and adapted to the development around. The burger was delicious, too. They have an aioli sauce that was good with diced up pickles. Usually I request no pickles but the small bursts really added to the texture and feel of the burger overall. 10/10 would come again!

I'm pleased to report that this latest order contained a perfectly prepared burger and a bag of crispy fries (as ordered). The remaining nitpicks were: 1) having to wait an additional 10 minutes past the time the order was supposed to be ready, 2) paying $6 for a bag of fries. Increase the price of the burger by $1 and reduce the price of the fries. Yes, the total would be the same but the value would be where it belongs. In any case, $10 is money well spent for a great burger.

    I came in ready to experience a life-changing Wagyu burger... the kind that makes you question…read moreevery burger you've ever eaten. Instead, I had a really good burger. I ordered the Wagyu Deluxe Burger, and don't get me wrong--it was juicy, well-seasoned, and served on a soft, slightly sweet bun that tied everything together nicely. It was delicious! But if you blindfolded me, I don't know if I could confidently tell you it was Wagyu. It tasted very similar to a really good smash burger, so unless you're trying to impress your taste buds (or your wallet), I'd probably just order the original smash burger next time. One thing to keep in mind: there was only one guy running the whole operation when I visited. He was taking orders, cooking, and doing everything short of cloning himself. So if the place gets busy, expect a little wait. Honestly, respect to him for keeping it all together. Parking is a bit of a treasure hunt since there are only a few stalls. I got lucky and snagged the last spot, but street parking may be your backup plan. The inside was clean, spacious, and a comfortable place to enjoy your meal. Overall, I'd definitely come back--next time I'll save a few bucks, grab the original smash burger, and let the lone burger superhero work his magic.

I had to brush off a ton of powder or something grainy from my seat before I sat down but otherwise the place was nice and seat was comfortable. It's borrowing the space of a completely different restaurant and it's obvious because there's a cooktop in the middle of each table. No points deducted for that though. Just info. Seems like a lot of folks order takeout, but there were also a number of tables filled when I went. I'd come back for sure. That burger was just so good! And good price.

    Hot and new on Instagram! Their ig is @goodfellahawaii and only open Monday through Friday from…read more11-4 and in the middle of the night on Friday and Saturday from 11p to 3am. There is a private lot that you can park in, so parking is free and not an issue. However, looking for this place might be. It's literally just a black door with a white window and red light above it that's located next to the stairs and on the first floor. Just roll up to the door/ window where you can find their menu. It's a pretty small menu but what is offered is out of this world! I don't know where else you would get a double patty smash burger for only $9! Just push the button and a guy will open The window to help you. Once you place your order bell close it again and you'll just have to wait for it to be prepared. He'll open it up again when your food is ready and that is when you pay for your goods. It gave me mafia vibes here and it felt so secretive lol. Kind of like a speakeasy but for burgers? Lol I'm sure the effects would be moreso in the middle of the night with a little red light on the door. I picked up the og burger + onion rings. Their fry sauce was sweet chili oil + Mayo and fried to perfection. But - I think for just $2 more I should have got the other burger instead. Lol. The burger was huge and so juicy. I will totally come back again cause it was that good!

    I honestly couldn't fathom rating this place poorly because the people working here are just the…read moresweetest, so I'll just take off 1 star. The place is very hard to locate, due to the lack of good signage, but it's in the shopping center right next to the Lobster King. Parking is very difficult too, so maybe have another person with you who can order and wait for the food. I'm not going to lie, the wait time for the food is extremely long for just burgers and fries--took more than 30 minutes--but please keep in mind this is a small business. I think there were only 2 or 3 people working, an auntie, uncle, and a younger guy who I believe was cooking. The food looked so beautiful but everything was too salty and the patties were way too charred, which I'm hoping was a one off thing. I did DM them on social media shortly after picking up our order and they said it was an off day. They offered for me to come back one day so they can make things right, but I don't know if I'll have the time to swing by anytime soon. I truly hope this business does well, they are the sweetest people I've met in the last few months, and I wish them nothing but the best. I hope others have a better experience than I did. I mean look at how beautiful their burgers are!
