Huge music fan and love memorabilia? Hard Rock Cafe is the place for you with its rock theme, artist items, and rotating music videos around the place. The service from the front desk to the waiter was great and they had managers walking around checking in to make sure everything was going well (But they don't know who some of the artists are in the pictures). Our party got cocktails and beer which were delicious, then for an appetizer we had bruschetta which was some of the best bruschetta I have had. Then for the main course I got the Mesi collaboration burger. The burger was cooked to perfection and had some decently seasoned flavor, only real complaint is the cost being $20 but it is to be expected at a theme park restaurant. read more

Awkward. The workers were very friendly and quick, but just the atmosphere was awkward. Also, I know it is a music themed restaurant BUT THAT MUSIC WAS SO LOUD. Food was okay, nothing crazy. read more

Expect very long waits even with opentable reservations. Expect long wait with the service. Expect long wait with the food. When the food arrives, expect no one to check on you. It was 60 minutes between arriving before we got our food - no appetizer, just 2 kids meals and 2 main courses. No special drinks - water, bottled beer and lemonade. So ensure to be prepared to ask for refills, drinks, napkins, etc all at once because no one will be back. Expect a long wait to pay and also, they may lose your credit card. It's so Terribke, it's almost comical. The kids loved their Mac and cheese and actually wanted to return the next day. My cold dish - salmon ramen is so salty, I actually gave my dish a water-bath. I was so hungry - I ate it. We were at universal to celebrate my son's birthday which was mentioned by the hostess. It took soooo long and the waitress did nothing. Not even even acknowledge my son. A manager came only to see if the credit card the waitress lost and they later found on the floor was ours for them to swipe it. read more

My first visit to a Hard Rock Cafe and it was lovely. We just needed somewhere to rest our feet after a long few days at Universal Studios, and Hard Rock Cafe was perfect for that. Since the restaurant is large you won't feel like you're taking up space and wasting their time even if you only order a few drinks at the bar, and we never felt rushed to leave or settle the bill even though we were just sitting there chatting for a while. The service was great and someone from the bar came to check up on us every once in a while. One thing I was surprised about was that I could only really find one thing (the nachos) on the menu that I wanted to order. We did really want to order a couple more things as an early dinner. It's probably just a standard menu across all Hard Rocks but I just expected a bit more selection. read more

We just visited Universal in Florida and we like to visit the Hard Rock Cafe's around the world. My wife hasn't been to this one and she was impressed by the size. It is absolutely huge. We are big fans of movies and music so we like to peruse the artifacts from all the different musicians. Now the cool thing also is that they have a CBGB's room as well as a piece of the Berlin Wall, which is located to the right side of the restaurant. Don't miss it. It is a piece of history. The food is solid and we enjoyed the Nachos and some French Fries. The service was pretty good but they got swamped pretty quickly as we were some of their first customers of the day. Overall a positive experience. This is a great place for families with kids too specially if you want to show them a thing or two about music memorabilia. read more

Stopped in here during our VIP tour at Universal for a quick lunch at the bar. It was open seating and we were able to find a space (kids are allowed to sit at the bar for lunch with an adult too which was helpful since we had a limited time for lunch and didn't want to wait for a table). Hard Rock has great decor at all of their locations and love the music history on the walls to talk to the kids about. Always great music playing too! The bartenders were amazing and they were working as a team to get drinks and food out to us so we could get back on our tour. I had a burger and it was delicious and cooked perfectly! One of the kids had a burger too and loved it. The other had tenders and fries and said they were good. Will be stopping in here more often on our trips to City Walk and Universal!! read more

Came here for a large work function... the place was cramped and busy, granted it was filled with co-workers. But the facility doesn't seem built to handle crowds without everyone being on top of each other, even though they have a large auditorium. The service was decent. The wine and beer selection we were limited to was pretty bad though. The food was awful... it was a filet with a sauce on top and potatoes au gratin and veggies. It was all warm, far from hot. The potatoes were very bland and boring, so many of us commented on how bad they were and the veggies weren't very exciting. The filet was decent on the parts that had that sauce. Overall - I can't imagine how much this event cost, but not sure it was worth it. read more

My girlfriend and I had dinner here a couple nights ago during our vacation. It was a busy night at CityWalk and they got us in within 15 minutes. When you head to your table, a photographer will snap a quick photo of your group (you can say no), and then you'll be seated. During your meal, someone will approach you with a packet of your photos to purchase for an additional $30 charge on top of your bill. I thought this was a unique touch. I haven't seen this at any other hard rocks that I've been to. Our server was great and the food came quick. We were in and out in about 30 minutes even with it being extremely busy. We both got burgers and they were great! Super flavorful and a huge portion. Honestly, the best place we ate at CityWalk during our stay at a Universal Resort. Many of the other options were lacking in either service or food quality, but Hard Rock knocked it out of the park! Thanks for a great meal. read more

I would leave less if I could. The wait was long ( expected). But once seated we waited 10 min for someone to come for drinks. I'll spare you the long story. Our ENTIRE visit was waiting. Again. I k ow it's expected because of the location but when we can see all other tables being serviced, it was a bit ridiculous. 10/10 do not recommend. Even the kids were upset. read more

Venues like this suck. Don't bother unless you're 6ft tall. They need to stop selling standing room tickets or raise the stage 10ft.

Hayley was the waitress and we were pleased with her service. It's the hard rock outside of universal studios so at 7 pm closing it's a mess but we were treated with respect waited our time got to sit and service was perfect! Really cool pink caddy spinning above the main bar. Great music with videos. read more

Hard Rock Cafe - Famous Fajitas Swiss mushroom burger no bun - American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Swing and a very verrryy hard miss unfortunately Food - so we ordered the patty melt and impossible burger. The patty melt came out as a regular burger... We couldn't find the waitress initially and when we told her the error she did out the correct order in for a "on the fly" from the kitchen. Unfortunately it took well over 30mins to come out by which time the other food was ice cold. (not the problem mind you). Unfortunately the waitress lied to us multiple times. "I saw it in the window, they're just putting the fries on the plate. It's literally coming this way" but alas no food for over 10mins later. She also didn't own up to her mistake of misentering the order (receipt showed the keyed in burger, not patty melt). Also, we still paid full price for the whole meal (not looking for a handout but like own up to your mistakes please) Drinks - meh. Hurricane was good but very sweet (as I think it's supposed to be) the ginger jalapeno thing... Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. It was a glass of jalapeno juice with no other flavor. Ambiance - it's a cool place for sure def worth stepping in and taking a look around Service - as mentioned above, this truly ruined our experience. I won't name drop our server, but it was quite shameful to try and skirt by your own mistake. A simple "omgosh I apologize. I typed in the wrong thing, let me let the kitchen know. I'll be right back" or "I am so sorry. I entered it wrong. We can either have then kitchen remake it for ya or you can keep this, but it will be 20-30 for a new plate". There are ways to meet expectations and fix your error. Don't lie about it though. Unfortunately will not be going back to the Hardrock anytime soon. read more

Our server Alex was amazing!! Food came out super quick and prices were great. Plenty of great memorabilia to look at!! 5 stars! Great vibes all around. read more

Their food is surprisingly good. This may have been my families favorite dinner on our entire vacation in Orlando. I've been to a few Hard Rock Cafes and I'm never disappointed, they're doing something right. It's not just a tourist trap, this is a seriously good restaurant with a huge menu and flavorful foods. This location is the largest in the world, we didn't wait for more than 10-15 minutes and that was on a pretty busy weekend. Our server was very attentive and quick, he offered recommendations and checked on us through the night. But the main star of the show: our entrees. Don't overlook The Hard Rock!! read more

So we came here with friends to celebrate having not seen them in a while. We came here with their parents because they wanted to eat at the hard rock. The place was busy at first. We got in around 8 and didn't leave till after 10. We were greeted by our waitress. We ordered the chicken wings zinged which is bbq and buffalo sauce combined. They were ok. The wings you can tell were frozen prior as the chicken was very chewy. The cost for frozen wings is outrageous. I then got the meal for 2. Which was a salad and an entree for 37 dollars. The salad was good. Small with blue cheese and some radish or turnips. It was good. But not 10 dollars good. The steak I got was chewy with a lot of gristle. It was not worth the cost the hard rock charged. The mash potatoes were not good either and were very bland. The string beans were also sad. My wife got the Messi burger. It I thought was supposed to come with 2 patties? And chorizo? Well it was missing 1 patty if so and the other patty was tiny. It was actually quite sad. The fries were ok. The food was 3 stars but for the money it was not worth the food we got. Everything is very overpriced. Service took forever, we had to ask for water to be replaced when the cups were sitting empty. I get it was busy at times and we didn't complain. But man this place missed the mark. I wouldn't come back. read more

Hard Rock is Hard Rock--kitschy but fun, pub-style menu but tasty. Definitely a fun stop during a vacation. The wait was long and we were due at Horror Nights soon, so the host offered us spots at the bar. We gratefully accepted. However, the bar staff didn't refill our waters at all, essentially ignoring us in favor of the customers drinking alcohol. I really would have liked to drink more water before heading out for the afternoon, and I definitely needed it--I wound up with heat exhaustion after a few hours at the park. As for what we ate, my husband and I were really excited to try Messi's chicken sandwich (who doesn't love a tasty milanesa?), and we didn't regret it. It was so good! read more

Hard Rock Cafe - Messi chicken sandwich, side salad - American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This Hard Rock Cafe was so great for a lot of reasons. Firstly, after attending Hollywood Horror Nights it was late as hades. Luckily this Hard Rock was open until midnight allowing us to grab a bite after a long day in the park. Our waitress was very personable and sweet and gave us our time to figure out what to eat. The pulled pork sandwich had so much sauce on top and the bun tasted buttery and perfect with the meat. The Messi burger was equally delicious with such a yummy aioli sauce and proportional amount of toppings. It was a very flavorful meal with a nice ambience of rock music and memorabilia. Highly recommend! read more

Hard Rock Cafe here in Orlando wasn't bad. The place was huge and we got to see a lot (even a piece of the Berlin Wall). Service was pretty good even for a lot of people. The food here is good. It's mostly American, but it's pretty good. Overall, 9 out of 10, would recommend read more

The food here is great and if you like rock music, you'll love the ambiance. The service is also good considering the size of the place. The problem here is the upselling. As soon as you set foot inside, they ask to take a photo with a guitar from 2 different angle. Then, they give you a ticket from which you can order these photo. You're not even assigned a table yet but they are already trying to sell you merch. Once you are seated, sooner or later someone will come by with a bag containing the photos with accessories to hang it. You might not even have ordered your food yet and still trying to sell you merch. Too aggressive. For me, this is minus 2 stars right there. I though about removing 3 but it seems a bit harsh. Hard Rock, stop this practice. No need for the photo on arrival and trying to sell me these as a tourist trap, specially when I haven't asked for it to begin with. We really disliked the forced photo taking at the entrance that frozed us and nearly made us rethink our choice. I came here to dine, not get photo my photo taken and get merch on my face while trying to cool-down from my long day in the parks. Now for the food. We both tried the Pittsburgh burger part of a world wide burger event, so it might not be present on your visit since this event stop on September 2nd. The burger was really good. Although I though the fries inside the burger was a bit weird and would be better without it, it was still very good and enjoyable. One thing we did find weird is there was cheese for the fries but under the fries so we found out about it after eating about 80% of them. We were so full after that we didn't try the dessert although they do like good. They also now use a little tablette at the table where you can see the menu, play game but also that's where you pay the bill. I do love these things cause you don't have to wait for the waiter to get your bill, everything is done here. I would come back for the food, but the pressurized photo and merch selling is really throwing me off. Hard Rock if you're reading this, this experience would have yield you 5 stars if it wasn't for this. Get rid of it. read more

We were so fortunate to have the best server ever not only did Lauren K go above and beyond, but she went out of her way to make sure that our special order dietary needs were met. She kept checking on us. She made us feel very special and she made our night very special highly recommend. I think that mostly everybody who works that works very hard and food was done perfect and if I had a business, I would definitely want Lauren as an employee if you get her serving you, you're very fortunate.. we felt the need to call Mike the manager who was actually handling a situation and we waited for him to let him know what a wonderful experience we had on top of that of meeting Mike, who is so friendly and outgoing and so down to earth made it for the ending of a perfect night at the Hard Rock Café in Orlando thank you Lauren and thank you, Mike. You deserve recognition and appreciation. read more

Over the past sixteen or so years we have eaten here a number of times. It is a good place if you want to get seated quickly and you are hot and hungry. My oldest loves their apple cobbler and even had me drive her back the following week (at another location) to get some since we did not have dessert that time. People are always nice, but I feel like the theming is tired and needs a refresh. It has been relatively the same since I was a teenager. We were shopping at the store last week and most of the merch has been the same for several years, I have shopped here (vacationed at Universal) over the last three years and the shirts have not changed. They are also very similar to other locations other than the location stated on the shirt. I would love to see a redo of the menu and the décor as well to keep things new and relevant to the next generation. read more

Our waiter was wonderful, however, the wait was not!!! We waited an hour for our food even though the wait time to get our table was reasonable for a Saturday night. We had 4 children in the party and they were clearly hungry!! Dealing with crying baby we continued to wait and witness an argument with someone in the kitchen and another waiter. Really not very impressed with that going on. We were told there was a new system to order and it was causing confusion and delay in delivering our meals. When finally our food arrived, it was good, not great. The chicken sandwich which was highly promoted fell short of being tender or tasty. The buns on all burgers were dried out from being under the heat lamp too long. The order of mac n cheese did not ever come, when I asked the waiter he said it was cold when he went to pick it up and reordered it but it never was made. Honestly, paying as much as we did, the experience and food did not match. read more

VERY busy place, but good food. Service could be a hit & miss at time, but I always base my tip depending on that though. Could also just worth visiting for the cool atmosphere of the restaurant, especially if you are a music fan! read more

Firstly, this place looks so cool! The ambience both inside and out is top notch. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately everything else fell flat. The service was disappointing unfortunately, the server was nice but she was not paying attention to our table enough throughout the night with us taking a while to get service and refills. Then once the food came out it was rather below average quality, with the fries not being fresh. Would not really be coming back here again honestly. read more

I was going out for a nice dinner with my family -- or so I thought. We waited around 30 minutes to get to our table. Now, it was a busy night, so I'll give them that. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, and it took about 3-4 hours to get the food. And when it finally arrived, it was awful. How on earth do you mess up a grilled cheese? It is quite possibly the simplest meal one could make. Something to note -- which isn't a criticism, just something to be aware of: don't bring your kids here. The music videos they play contain things kids shouldn't see. read more

We really loved all the old school memorabilia, a lot of it was outdated but still really cool to see. We especially loved the Beatles room upstairs. I got the chicken & avocado flatbread with a side of fries. Their fries are really good and the flatbread was great too, I just wish the board was a little bigger for the flatbread. The service was slow, we had to ask for napkins and condiments. read more

Great atmosphere in the main room: There's a rotating pink Cadillac, stained glass windows of The King & music memorabilia galore. Love it! The side rooms are blander, so we requested the main room. The burger was delicious and the meat was abundant. It's a great meal after a long day in Universal Theme park. I highly recommend. The menu is mostly classic Americana staples like burgers, chicken Caesar salads, steaks, etc. vegetarian options as well. Our server, Vegas, was spirited, fun & professional. Other servers assist to make sure the food all arrives to the table at once. The manager was also very helpful with our questions. Totally in point staff. I noticed someone complained about pricing- I thought it was good pricing. Theme park locations usually charge a little more, but the prices for burgers & beer were all normal, if I was home on Portland. And I thought the quality of the food given the location was good value. (Even if it wasn't them park location, I liked the value of food for price. And it was great atmosphere with good service.) Tip- get there & make a reservation quickly after leaving the park & Then meander around. Expect to wait: they said it was an hour. We only waited 40 minutes. But still, get your name in. Also, there is an Elvis room tucked away upstairs!!!!!! read more

Honestly we had a great meal! We checked in and had an hour wait. They send a text to let you know when it is ready. I got the mushroom Swiss burger and fries. It was great. We had a large party and the waiter was great with refilling our drinks. The food was good, other people got burgers, kids tenders/fries, bruschetta as an appetizer. The place was loud with music but that was okay. We had a few fussy kids but no one else could hear them. If you're there, go ahead and check in early online to reserve your spot. read more

The ambiance is really nice at this location and the customer service is also great. I ordered the Original Legendary Burger with a fried chicken patty and seasoned fries.

First evening in Orlando to attend a conference... I was staying at the Portofino which is on the Universal property so walked over to city walk to grab a bite to eat for dinner. I sat at the bar and had a Legendary burger and a triple platinum margarita.

Stopped in for dinner before it got busy, night one of our staycation and first time to city walk. Walked in and upstairs to our table. Hostess stand seem chaotic and unorganized. Lots of chit chat. Got seated and Oscar came over promptly to deliver menus and ask for a drink order. (They do not bring water unless you ask, that seemed strange) I asked about veggie options after viewing the menu - VERY limited vegetarian options - staff does not seemed trained on how to handle that question. Disappointed in that - so I'm getting a salmon bowl. Not preferred but it'll work. Food was good, quick for as busy as it's gotten. Bathrooms are clean and on every floor. Card accepted. read more
