The Hard Rock Café is in the heart of Hollywood and Highland, right where all the tourist attractions are to be exact. I was there attending a private event which was well organized. It was Game show night, and we were ready for the entertainment. The staff members were friendly with attentive service. Our waitress was very pleasant and brought out our drinks and food in a timely manner despite being a full house and tons of people to be served. Upon walking in, you enter their retail store/merchandise area first. You will see they are fans of the FIFA world cup and have plenty of jerseys for sale. They also have their own merch "Hard Rock Café" for sale. Then, you head further in, and you will see the tables for seating some at the top and the rest at the bottom floor. Dimmed lights and music playing in the background. They also host live music by the appearance of music instruments, drums, etc. If you go on their website, you will see their weekly schedule of events, including happy hour M-F 3-6pm. There is parking at the Ovation lot (formerly known as hollywood and highland) then you can walk to the restaurant. They offer a full bar, food bites, entrees, shareable dishes, etc. It is a very lively spot especially right now with the soccer games. Pretty cool spot to come out and hang, chill with friends or solo, and grab a drink with food in mind. read more

Great vibe, lovely atmosphere, especially all the rock 'n' roll memorabilia all over the place, definitely will be back!! I was watching some of the soccer game too, lots of screens everywhere so come and watch the game! So much fun and the food was delicious. read more

Fun spot to eat at right in the heart of Hollywood. Grabbed a quick lunch before catching my flight home out of Burbank. The front has a retail store with lots of merchandise, then you walk towards the back and down a few stairs to the restaurant area. Lots of music memorabilia on the walls to walk around and look at. When I was there the menu offered a Messi burger in honor of FIFA soccer. It has two smash burger patties, provolone, crispy onions, chorizo jam, red pepper aioli and veggies, served with fries. Very tasty. The service was super friendly and food was delivered quick. Big neon sign - Love All Serve All. Showing their support of inclusion- which is awesome. Great experience. read more

This is not a place I would usually find myself (I'm local) but there was a Beetlejuice immersive thingy going on & we arrived WAY too early, I was starving & this was the only place we could go, we'll let me tell you, it rocked.

Hard Rock Cafe - New York steak medium rare - Sports Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're a tourist, you might have a fine time here. We live right down the street and figured we should give it a try after seeing a movie at Grauman's. Got it out of our system - we would not come back here. It's a dark, high-ceilinged, windowless space with an open view of the kitchen. Black, dark purple, gloomy vibe. You'll either smell old fryer grease wafting from the kitchen whilst at your table or urinal cakes from the restrooms as you check out the rock memorabilia on the walls. The server was performative and friendly. The drinks were good - we tried the "legendary" hurricane and an Electric Blues. The hurricane had perfect flavour, and the other one was tart and refreshing. My boyfriend ordered the BBQ platter with ribs, pulled pork, fries, beans, and coleslaw. The ribs were just okay - not dry, but not fall-off-the-bone tender. The BBQ sauce is pretty good, so the pork was enjoyable. The beans tasted weird - we did not like the taste and they were left untouched after two bites. The slaw was fine. The fries seemed overly battered and weren't great. Sauces other than ketchup are an upcharge. I ordered the fried chicken sliders, as the regular chicken sandwiches and the burgers all sounded basic. The sliders were supposed to have jalapeño coleslaw, pickles, and hot honey - it sounded like the spiciest and most flavourful offering. They were AWFUL. They were probably one of the worst things I have ever ordered at a restaurant. They used dark meat, which tasted gross and looked unappetising. The slaw was not spicy at all, and contained basil which dominated the flavours. The pickles tasted funny. I didn't detect one drop of honey, hot or otherwise. I don't know if they are always this bad or if it was because my order came out wrong (I was first served the regular chicken sandwich), and when I sent it back, they just slopped the sliders together. I still feel nauseated every time I think about them. If you're intent on coming here, I don't even know what I'd suggest ordering - certainly not meat. While the BBQ sauce was okay, if you're from a state that knows authentic BBQ, this ain't gonna impress you. Maybe just drink your meal and stick with their cocktails. read more

Right on Hollywood Blvd, next to all the action. Parking options are quite limited -- either side streets with meters or nearby parking structures, including Ovation (though validation doesn't apply here). I didn't eat at the restaurant, but the shop is fun to browse, with plenty of classic Hard Rock merch like T-shirts, hoodies, pins, and collectible items. They also carry some really cool LA and Hollywood-themed gear you won't find at every Hard Rock, which makes it a great stop if you're walking the Boulevard and want something a little more unique. read more

Stop by with some family who was visiting from Memphis they love the vibe of the restaurants seeing all of the artifacts on the walls. The wait time was ridiculous. We had to wait over an hour to get seated, but the food came out quick once we were there and our waitress was amazing even gave us some tips on where to visit. read more

Came thru the back entrance after attending an event at the Dolby Theatre. Closest eatery to the Dolby, so we popped. Has a lot of shareable like mini sliders on the menu, but de idea to go with the bbq pulled pork and fries. Fries were cold 2/5 the sandwich was built nicely and had onion straws and pickle chips in it so gave the sandwich a nice crunch. I liked the light bbq sauce, not the thick kind..or molasses-y...you couldn't actually see the bbq sauce but you could taste it. 4/5 My friend liked her salmon dinner. She saved half for later and said "you can't ruin salmon". 5/5 Big props to the atmosphere. It was loud modern hip and lots of memorabilia to look at. Fun place. If you enter from the street, you pass thru the souvenir store before meeting up with reception. It was confusing trying to get a table when you enter from the Dolby side. They don't seem to seat you from that entrance. A little awkward, until we found t Reception in the store. read more

It's been awhile since we came to have dinner at the iconic Hard Rock Cafe. We arrived on 10-4-24 to eat before we saw the Joker sequel next door at the TCL IMAX theatre. We had a good time with our food and the service was great. I had diablo burger which was good and tasty along with french fries. Our server was Janay and she was awesome. She provided great customer service, professional and attentive during our visit. Looking forward to returning again for dinner before another movie. read more

Had a great time at the Hard Rock Cafe. Our server was nice and welcoming. The burger though was extremely oily, but overall was great. The fries were extremely yummy and tasty. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and very clean. The bun right now are due with pink. I'm guessing it's for breast care awareness month. Would come back especially when in Hollywood. read more

Outstanding customer service with Victor & Danielle as we sat down the bar area became insane with people and they nailed their customer service across the board adapting and changing and getting both the bar itself and the high tops around the bar area served with very little wait times : props also to the kitchen for handling this high volume turn around : I recommend the fajita salad that has the lowest calorie count on the menu! We live here so we shall be back! Thank you again' They read more

The ambience was fine. The server was good. The food was rough. We had a cheeseburger and fries which I would recommend. We had the chicken fajitas were ridiculously overpriced for what they were. The kids got the boneless wings, which were terrible and made with mystery meat. I wouldn't spend your money on food unless you're just getting french fries. There are plenty of other food options around so don't settle for this place. read more

I live a few blocks away and never thought to come in being it's a crowded tourist area. I saw pictures of their burgers and rhe prices weren't bad for a burger with fries. It's LA. I can't attest to any of the other food. I would probably not order ribs or steak and such from a place like this. But I had "The Diablo Burger". It's is very good. I tried the All American burger (I think it was called) and nothing to write home about. I've had the Diablo Burger 3 times and it has never let me down. I do want to say the staff is excellent. Servers are very personable without being cringe. My guess is you have to have a certain personality to serve and likely quite a few aspiring actors. It's a good option if you are out of town and can be assured reasonable prices and decent food overall. But, the Diable Burger is a favorite. read more

Back in August we went walking around after coming from Sj to make funeral arrangements in LA, for a bite and some drinks. Before we picked up the drinks there was lipstick on it. I told the bartender if he can remake it bc the glass was dirty w not my lips. He refused, and I said it's not my fault I was served a dirty glass. He took my drink, and poured it straight into a new cup. I stated that was unsanitary and he told me if I wanted him to make me a new drink, I would have to pay again and wait 10 min. I said that didn't seem right bc he didn't properly clean his station, I won't pay but I'll wait. I HOPE he actually remade it. I should have poured out the dirty drink myself after watching what he had just done. He walked away to the other side of the bar where I couldn't see him. He came back in 10 w a "new" drink... I told the waiter if he could talk to management... my waiter apologized on his behalf and said he would personally go in the back and slap him w steak. I wish it was a free round of drinks instead lol I also mentioned maybe the bartender should go home since he couldn't keep eye contact but I swore never blinked, kept chugging water, couldn't make coherent decisions... service is terrible and the food is mediocre. read more

I went to a Hard Rock Cafe for the first time. Here is what I got (Photo1/2) Hurricane Drink as a Mocktail A very tropical drink with strong pineapple taste (Photo3) Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad (Photo4) The Messi Burger We were expecting it to be a bit Messy but it wasn't which was nice. (Photo5) The BBQ Bacon Burger Now this was a messy one. It was delicious (Photo6/7) The inside The staff were friendly. This place IS wheelchair accessible. I went in, in my mobility scooter and was easily accommodated. They have a whole section that you enter from a ramp. Getting down to the bathroom is a bit tricky. There are about 3 steps you need to go down. There might be another way to it. Overall: read more

The Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood was amazing! The food was excellent, we had fajitas and 3 desserts, all huge and delicious. Our server Albie was fantastic, super friendly and attentive, and manager Brent came by to check in which made the experience even better. Fun vibe, great service, and definitely a spot we'll come back to on Hollywood Blvd! read more

I've heard the burgers are great and the fries can confirm are fine, but no rice or beans with $26 fajitas is diabolical. Megan our server is an angel and deserves a raise. Bo, our soon to be server, I'm sure will have also been great and also deserving of a raise. read more

We reserved a very important graduation party for my nephew a full week prior of the date and he wanted to sit near the stage. We called and asked one of the employees if that section can be reserved, and he said yes no problem, call that day and let them know. I called and the lady employee could care less about the bad news and stated that the specific section is already booked. I replied well I will cancel and got a shoved off sorry. No compensation, no ideas to make it work. BAD BUISNESS. Confirmation #: 317985 read more

Cmon now, this is basically a gold spray painted Applebees. The food took over 45 minutes on an empty Wednesday, the ice melted in my soda before the food came, order was all wrong and we allegedly had the best server they had on duty! Boy I feel special. Don't waste your time or money! Two stars are for the drinks nothing else read more

Service is exceptional, They charge for everything like ranch for my fries is an extra dollar for each one. The food is of the same quality as Golden Corral.Their menu is pretty simple I had the steak and asked for well done , it was so "Well Done" I had to use my grandpa denatures to bite through it and the alcoholic drinks don't quite taste like any alcohol. Overhyped and overpriced is the lesson for today . This is a first and last for me , but at least there's a live band . :) read more

From the two young hosts walking into what felt like a department store (their gift shop in front of the restaurant entrance), to our waiterS (we had two because one disappeared for quite a while), everyone seemed very eager to help us. We did run into a couple problems: the $7.50 strawberry lemonade my friend ordered never arrived and once our food and condiments arrived we were totally abandoned for a loooong time by Steven, our main waiter. When he FINALLY came out to deliver the bill to the table (after we were contemplating leaving because we were ignored so long) and the aggressive (trying to literally take glasses and plates from our hands while we're still using them), non-verbal (not a single word) table busser went to get him for us, Steven seemed bothered and in a rush. I asked him where he disappeared to and he said he ran into a ton of problems with food and customers. I said we didn't appreciate being held captive by his ridiculously long absence and we were going to order dessert but now we just wanted to go home (it was after midnight. He tried to get me to talk to a manager who could "hook us up" for our next visit but we live far away and weren't interested in yet another time delaying conversation. It was already a frustrating end to what started as a pretty positive experience. They get five stars because the food was that good and everyone except for Steven and militant bus boy did their jobs perfectly. If I were in the area I would return for the food (delicious double cheeseburger and fries but yum), and just hope for better service once we received our food. Also, my friend really enjoyed her burger and thought the memorabilia was very cool! read more

We ate here because we were doing the TMZ tour located inside. We were pleasantly surprised that the food and drinks were very good.

Meh, it's a chain restaurant, so you can expect a normal regular experience. The food is ok, nothing I'd rave about, but overpriced because it's on Hollywood Blvd. Their gift shop is plentiful and a lot of nice apparel. Parking validation is available with purchase.

Hard Rock Cafe - Book signing event - Sports Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

after an event at the Dolby theater, my husband and i decided to try the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood. we had to wait at the bar which was no big deal for about 25 minutes. we finally got out table. we orders the chicken wings which were delicious. we then ordered the duo beef and chicken fajitas. they were quite bland. disappointing. we left. however, we we arrived home which was a 40 minute drive, I became quite ill. I threw up. the toast was bell peppers. my husband did the same a few hours later. My husband called the restaurant the next day to inform the situation. But it steered they didn't care. only to respond they would inform the chef. needless to say we will not go there ever again, or recommend it to anyone. read more

Loved the vibe here! Great food, friendly staff, and awesome music everywhere. Perfect spot for a fun meal with friends or family. Highly recommend! The decor is so cool with all the music memorabilia--it really adds to the experience. Definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Have attended numerous events at this location and it is fabulous! Hands down this is one of the best places to visit on Hollywood Blvd. Great music and good energy. Hard Rock Hollywood a great place to throw a bash. The service here is always great and attentive. Excellent menu with calories listed. A bit expensive, but it is in a MAJOR tourist area on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, prime destination situated in the heart of Hollywood, so you can expect it to be pricey. If you are ever invited to an event at this Hard Rock venue, GO GO GO RUN GO! Can't beat the location - would recommend 10/10. Tip #1: Park in the garage parking and have your ticket validated. TIP #2: Prepare to spend the day/night in this area, LOTS TO DO!!! read more

We came in and gave our name to the host to be seated and were told it would be about 15 min. No problem. About a half hour later we were finally walked to our table. Passing empty table after table and we noticed the restaurant was maybe a third to half full at best. So why did it take so long to seat us? Are they short staffed, or are they not on their game? Who knows, but we were finally seated and were dying of thirst. It took about ten minutes for someone to come up and introduce themselves as our server and take our order. We got the drinks fairly quickly but the food took about another half hour to come out. We only ordered burgers so we were confused on that as well. The food is ok, not bad but nothing to write home about. It was pretty expensive for the portions and taste but we figured as much considering the location and they have a nice store up front to buy all the Hard Rock logo'd gear, which we did purchase some. The location, store, food, the server herself, and everything else was ok, just the speed of everything in this place definitely leaves something to be desired. read more

Today was my first visit here, I came with my in laws a party of 9. We were told there would be a 20 min wait then they said there was a miscommunication and it would be a 45 min wait. After calling a few parties to sit before us we were seated. Our waiter was a curly haired short boy name Steven, he had a condescending tone and I sensed that for some odd reason their staff was either racist or spiteful or both because our food literally took almost an hour to arrive to our table let alone a few of our plates of food were cold. Steven was stand offish and failed to bring a straw for my sister in law who had asked more than once for it and not once asked how we were doing with our meal. This place is over rated, the service and vibe sucked ass. Never come here people, it's not worth the money AT ALL. Gross. K bye. read more
