    New York steak medium rare
    Filemon G.

    Food was delicious cook to perfection. Service was great and quick. Ambiance was great. Great music.

    BBQ platter with ribs and pulled pork, and the Electric Blues cocktail
    Magnolia B.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing ambiance with live music and a lively crowd on a Friday night! Perfectly located on Hollywood blvd. Great attractions near by. Come for the food, stay for the live band!

    Offering starters like the classic nachos, wings or onion ring tower.Legendary burgers, the impossible burger, chicken and pulled pork sandwiches. Desserts include the hot Fudge Brownie sundae,NY cheesecake and hot Fudge ice cream sundae.The signature Cocktails not to be missed include their specialty hurricane served in a souvenir glass, mai tai's and rhythm and rose mules.Plus seeing all the items owned by some great musicians is a bonus.I especially enjoyed seeing Jim Morrison's Pants.With fast and friendly service we received our very delicious nachos and impossible burgers and frys.

    Fast, fun and friendly service with such great memorabilia to explore and see. There's shareables that includes wings, nachos and my favorite the onion ring tower.They offer a delish impossible burger, legendary burger,pulled pork and chicken sandwiches, salads, steaks, salmon and chicken tenders. Desserts if your not to full are the NY cheesecake and the yummy brownie sundae that offers enough to share.Milkshakes and signature cocktails include the hurricane served in a collectible glass. With speedy service and a smile our nacos and burgers were delivered. With so many choices they offer the hard rock should not be missed. ROCK On !!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A"boneless wing". Gross.
    Nickie C.

    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.

    The waiter who refused to remake my drink bc the cup had lips on it before I even touched it. Poured it straight into another cup...

    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.

This bar/restaurant was packed because of the FIFA soccer games yet my friend and I arrived as a table was leaving so we had to experience this cool place. Tribute Hollywood has several televisions, lots of high top seating and a bar with hanging plants right in the middle of the space. The menu has lots of delicious food and drink options. It was happy hour so my friend and I ordered several things to share. You order at the bar. The two bartenders were working hard making amazing drinks very fast and taking food orders. We got a number and sat back down with our drinks. The food came out fast and hot. We got the chicken wings, fries, chicken quesadilla and fried veggies. Other cool things were: it's an open air establishment where the front windows are wide open and later that afternoon some television went to the Knicks game! Go Knicks!

We asked for a seat with a heater nearby but they were full and didn't have one available. We sat and ordered our food and then they informed us a table opened up near a heater! We were quickly switched. The outside seating is cute with lights and a patio cover over the area. It's relatively small though in general so I can imagine on a busy night how packed it could get. We started with calamari, pork belly pincho and tostadas. The calamari was good but small portions. The pork belly pincho was amazing it had some tamarind sauce which had a bbqish flavor and it was soo tender but crispy on the outside. I just wish it came with more but we ended up ordering 2 of them. The other people in our party got their food first and I was waiting for my steak to come out but it came out undercooked like almost raw inside so I politely asked if they could send it back to fix it. As I was waiting for them to bring it back out I tried some of the duck and omg I wish I ordered that instead. The steak was underwhelming but oh god everything else was just immaculate. The servers were all so sweet and attentive. TBH even though my steak was undercooked and underwhelming I'd be back in a heartbeat because that duck and everything else we had was amazing.

I rarely come to CityWalk and when I do, I normally grab something fast, which I find to be overpriced and mediocre. This was not the case with NBC Sports Grill and Brew. I was AMAZED! I was schooled! This sports bar had the normal big screens playing with multiple games. It is sleek and modern and casual and I can see how that this place can be good for family hangouts, casual dates and catching up with friends. Staff was amazing and attentive. They are very friendly and often checked up on us. For the food- With this being a tourist spot, I was not expecting much. I was nicely surprised when then food came out! The grilled chicken Ceasar salad was okay. It was refreshing and light but I would like a little bit more parmesan cheese or anchovies. The BBQ nachos were delicious! It came with shredded pork, beer-cheddar queso, monterey cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, chives, BBQ sauce, bacon and I shared it with my sister. This and the salad were our main meals and we were satisfied. The chips were not my favorite kind but I was not bothered by it. The chips held up with the toppings. Now the star of the show was the Fried Chicken Cutlet. The breading was crispy and seasoned well and it was on top of a garlic mashed potato and grilled asparagus. Simple dish bit it was amazing! All the conditions lined up : good food, friendly service, great company on a Saturday afternoon. The vibe would be different if you come here at night.
