I've dined here when Hard Rock offers their dinner and drink pairings, as well as for late dinners using my food comps. Their servers are always friendly and attentive. The dinner events here have more people, but they do a good job with getting our tables cleaned up and ready for the next course. Their food on their regular menu is good as well. I really like their burgers and fries. The portions are big enough to share. It can get busy when Hard Rock has events, such as concerts. They do have a lot of seating available. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by for a bite to eat before we headed over to the Hilary Duff concert. Karla was our server and she was so kind and made us have a wonderful experience! She was so sweet, complimented my outfit and we took her drink recommendation of the Sparkling Sangria that was amazing! Sadly didn't get any photos but we ordered a burger and the Mac and cheese which were delicious! We couldn't stay for long but both agreed we'd love to go back because we enjoyed the vibe and loved the rock décor and memorabilia! Thank you for the amazing service Karla! read more

Went to a tequila event at the Hard Rock Cafe and it was great! The restaurant is big and very open with plenty of seatings. Service was amazing! All the staff brought out the dishes so beautifully. The event consists of a set menu dinner with tequila pairing. We had a tuna tostada with cucumber jalapeño Paloma .. the tuna tostada was so good! The drink was strong! 2nd course was a citrus arugula salad with Valencia orange margarita spritz .. this course was so refreshing and the margarita paired amazing with it! Main course was braised and marinated pork shank with hibiscus grapefruit smoked margarita .. the braised pork shank and fixing was delicious but the smoked margarita was on the strong side of smoke for me. Our dessert course was a sopapillas cheesecake bar with cinnamon orange dessert margarita .. both those were so good and strong! I for sure had a good buzz! This event was awesome and the food was great with the alcohol .. I've also been here for their regular menu before and their burgers are always so juicy and delicious along with their crispy fries and onion rings! A must when you're craving a good burger while at the casino. read more

Loved dining this Saturday at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was so delicious.. my husband ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and I had the impossible burger and I loved it, especially when I dipped it in ranch dressing. OMG it was so good! The service was great and the restaurant was decorated very well with a lot of famous artist paraphernalia. I definitely recommend the hard rock café. read more

The food was great, but i wish they would let you pick where you want to sit. The chimichurri wings are fantastic and that legendary smash burger hit the spot. I think it might be wise to ask for refills ahead of time. The servers like to group chat alot and let time drift. read more

We were staying in the hotel and went here for dinner. We did have to wait 40 minutes for a table but once we sat down, our server immediately told us she would be with us soon. She was the only server in the bar area working her butt oof. She looked exhausted but busy. She did an amazing job making sure we were taken care of the entire time. Her communication and hard work definitely showed. She also had a great attitude. The food was also hot and tasted good. Karla our server should be promoted. She is a true asset. Don't lose her. She is a rockstar. We haven't had service like her in a long time. read more

Came out for the show and grabbed a bite to eat. Hallie was an excellent server, our food food came quick and was tasty, with the comps from the casino meal was under $20 for 2. I had the Chilaquiles Rojo off the Hard Rock local menu and a Mango Cart beer, while the mrs had a Chicken Caesar salad. It is a nice atmosphere, but not if your seeking some quiet time Plenty of TVs around showing the NCAA tourney this time, usually they jave a stream of music videos playing. read more

My group and I tried the wings, smash burger with fries and cheesecake. The wings were great! A medium level of spice which was good. The smash burger and fries were also pretty tasty. Nothing majorly impressive but not disappointing either. What was terrible was the cheesecake. Seriously, I do not recommend anyone ever eating this cheesecake. It tasted like a defrosted frozen cheesecake that's been in the fridge too long. read more

The Hard Rock Cafe was the perfect place to watch the football game and have lunch today, while visiting the Hard Rock casino. We ordered the Game Day appetizer special ( pick 2 for $25) and a cheeseburger, and everything was very good. The two appetizers were the chicken wings, very fresh hand crispy bit chicken was moist, and the chicken sliders, garnished with coleslaw. The burger was very good, thick and juicy with perfectly crispy fries. The Cafe is situated behind the sports bar so a big screen was added, facing the cafe , so we saw the game up close and personal! There are also a few smaller screens for the seats facing the other direction. read more

Pretty disappointing, really, and on my birthday, too. To be fair, staff were very friendly, and my server (Hailee) was terrific. This HRC is so unlike a typical one, it has none of the charm or fun. While most are intentionally in high-traffic and touristy locations, this one is off the beaten path in a casino/hotel. It feels totally off-brand; it kinda feels like any generic casino cafe. As far as food, I ordered the pictured Messi chicken sandwich. In the menu, it's pictured with two beautiful thin-pressed breaded chicken patties overflowing from its bun. In real life, the chicken was tiny, dry, and overcooked. I don't even blame the cook, this feels like a management problem trying to cut corners with purchasing/sourcing/standards. Sigh. I have always been a fan of the HRC brand and was sad when the 'true' Hard Rock Cafe Sacramento in Downtown Plaza closed many years ago. This experience did nothing to cheer me up. Happy Birthday to me, I guess. (But kudos again to Hailee and the rest of the workers who were amazing!) read more

It was a weeknight when we decided to stop by the casino for a few hands and dinner. They were fairly busy when we got there. The burger was solid and the fries were nice and crispy. They seemed a little understaffed and we waited a little long for our food but before we got out food they offered us complimentary fries and when we finished the manager came over and apologized for the wait and also offered us dessert. The care that the server and manager gave us without us asking or saying anything was great. It was a solid dinner before the dessert we had but we'll definitely be returning when we visit the casino again. read more

Visited to attend a concert in the large auditorium. I like that it's not necessary to walk through a large portion of the casino to reach the auditorium. The venue is medium size, 2,500 seats when the floor is filled with chairs. The sound system was good quality, clear and not too loud. I did not visit the casino, any bar / resturant. I don't gamble so no opinion about the reason for this place's existence. I'd happily return for another concert. read more

I grabbed a bite to eat with my husband while we're at hard rock Casino. We ordered the legendary burger. It was delicious. I was very happy with the purchase. It was great value for the money and the taste was spot on. The portion was generous, so it was definitely enough to share one burger and fries. It was exactly what you would want from any burger. The patties were tender and moist and the bacon was crispy and it had a delicious cheese sauce. I also added lettuce and tomato and fresh onion in addition to the grilled onions that it has on the burger. The fries were good. Fresh crisp would definitely order this again. Our server was really good. The restaurant was clean and all employees looked busy and doing their jobs to the best of their ability. read more

We had dinner here last night and Samantha was our server. She gets 5 stars as she had a great attitude, nice smile and checked on us often. Thank you Samantha. Also the gentleman that sat us was very nice and as it was our first time, he explained the different specials they had going on. Also 5 stars for my dish. It was the Asian Salmon Noodle Bowl. Teh salmon was delicious and comes with lettuce, red peppers, edamame and noodles in a delixious sauce. The plate was good size and I loved it. Now the not so good part. My husband ordered the shrimp fajitas. Never in my life have we ever seen fajitas served with breaded shrimp. These were terrible. Fajitas should be served with grilled shrimp. My husband does not like any fish breaded so I wish if they were not going to serve them traditionally that they wrote breaded shrimp on the menu instead of just shrimp. Very misleading. We went a little early, like around 5 pm, so the line was pretty short and we were able to get seated in under 10 minutes. The menu for the cafe is also the room service menu read more

Food was delicious! Ordered pepperoni flatbread pizza and Legendary smash burger that comes with seasoned fries (nice and crispy) and a side of ranch (tasty). Service was fine and friendly. Checked in on us several times. Nice atmosphere. Only complaint is that 9 times out of 10, the food takes so long to come out. That really hasn't improved over time. So if you're in a hurry, eat at the Chinese restaurant down the hall. read more

Late night eats after a show! Our waitress was honest about some of the choices we were contemplating i.e. the ribs that a previous customer said was burnt and dry we avoided. She recommended the Messi'sGolden Chicken Sandwich that I thought was dry and bland. I didn't even finish it. I did like Steve's cowboy Ribeye that was good. * Cowboy Ribeye - USDA Choice 16oz bone-in ribeye grilled and topped with herb butter, served with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, mushrooms and smoked house beans. * Legendary Nachos - Crispy tortilla chips layered with black beans and queso, topped with fresh pico de gallo, spicy jalapeños, melted cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, pickled red onions, scallions and topped with lime crema, guacamole and grilled chicken. $27.99 * Messi's Golden Chicken Sandwich - A crispy chicken fillet, topped with marinara, mozzarella cheese, garlic aioli and served with seasoned fries.

We will come back and request Kimberly again so far she's our favorite alongside Brandon. read more

Strolled in for lunch. Was greeted, seated and joked at by a young host (didn't catch his name) about yesterdays Raiders loss. So I know I was in for a "fun" day after the game loss lol. Waitress Heather was super nice I ordered grilled chicken w bacon and fries (to salty for my taste). I asked if they had tartar for dipping fries. Heather offered Messi sauce which is similar to tartar. Oh I loved it. Heather and the host made my visit nice. Heather checked on each table regularly w a beautiful bright smile. I've been to HR many times this early lunch was quiet and enjoyable. I always enjoy the videos and cocktail options. read more

This weekend my husband and I went to a car show out at Hard Rock Casino at Fire Mountain. Afterwards, we did a little gambling and had lunch at the cafe. The appearance of the casino was really cool and the displays featuring rock star's personal belongings were awesome. The best part of our visit? Lunch. We both ordered a burrito, mine had chicken in it, while my husband's at steak. They were served with chipotle sauce and tortilla chips. The burritos were big, so big o could only finish half of mine! It contained cilantro lime rice, cheese, avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo, and black beans. Simply put, it was the best burrito I ever ate in my life!! In addition to the food being really amazing, our waitress was also friendly and helpful. She gave us good recommendations, gave us a 10% discount on our bill, and was attentive throughout our meal. If you go to the casino, we highly suggest eating at Hard Rock Cafe!! read more

Hard Rock Cafe Sacramento - The Messi Burger! It's FIFA season after all - American Near Me - Wheatland, California

This place can get busy, but the restaurant itself is big, modern, and clean. To the left, they had a sparkly bar with a huge option of liquor to choose from. Both times we went here, I was greeted and helped right away. After that, it just goes downhill. We ordered a brownie sundae that we waited more than 20 minutes for. The brownie tasted like a single layer cake with frosting. Sundae was alright. We went the next day for breakfast, and it wasn't super busy, we were hoping the food and service would be better. To our dismay it was the same. When you go back to check on your order. It's a different person everytime and they don't know whats going on. For breakfast we ordered: 1. Loco moco - Patty was thick and cooked the way I ordered. Rice and gravy was perfect. The meal itself was tasty. 2. French toast - Soggy not cooked. Syrup was watery. Inedible. 3. Side of pork sausage - Sausages were fat but not cooked and didn't even have a snap when you buy it. Sausage was stone cold. I'm very disappointed with the service and food. I expected a lot more and they just let me down. read more

Went with my family, food was good, fresh. Service left something to be desired. Server Allison I believe was her name was beyond dismissive, acting as if we were inconveniencing her for dining in her section.. Pretty much the entire time forgot refills, dips, etc several times had to be verbally reminded and gave us looks when we would do so... turned what could have been a fun family meal into an uncomfortable experience. Casino itself is great but will not return to Cafe unless I am assigned a different server next time. read more

Staying at the hotel tonight and decided to order from Hard Rock Cafe cause let's face it-- the only other two options are the steakhouse (which has not impressed me the few times I've gone) and the Asian restaurant (which I've never been to and looks absolutely delicious, but I had Chinese food last week so I was looking for something different). They offer a service where someone will bring your order to your room, but that seemed weird and awkward to me, and I'm capable of walking downstairs, so I placed my order for pickup. I ordered on the phone from Armaan the classic smashburger (no tomato, dry, Mayo on the side) and the classic Buffalo wings. These have gotta be 2 of the most commonly ordered menu items. At least I'd think so. Somehow, a burger and wings cost $50. The pricing is wild, but after being quoted $1100 to have my transmission fluid changed a few days ago, nothing really shocks me anymore. Armaan hung up the phone before I could ask how long the wait would be, so I guesstimated 20 minutes and went down after 20 minutes. I got a lot of mustard and ketchup in my bag but no Mayo, which I realized after arriving back up at the 9th floor. I had a pivotal choice- I could eat the $50 order with mustard instead of Mayo, but a little voice quietly whispered to me, "No. You paid $50 for this crap. Go get your Mayo." So I walked all the way back down. There was a line of 7 or 8 people at the podium by that time, so I waited in line for about 10 mins. Got my Mayo. Went back up. The burger looked nothing short of awful. It's supposed to have 2 smashed patties, but one of them looked like half a patty. The cheese looked charred on. The lettuce was completely warm and wilted. I wish I had taken a photo. I'm honestly not sure how that left the kitchen. The fries were cold, but.....had I known when to pick the order up and had I not had to go back for Mayo, they probably would have been delicious. As for the wings....how do you screw up wings? These were possibly the most dry and cold wings I've ever had. The one thing that was supposed to be cold-- the celery-- was quite warm. This is some weird food temperature voodoo. This food is way overpriced and my to-go order experience was awful. Hopefully it's better when you sit down at the cafe. read more

Came in for dinner and had to wait a bit just because I don't know where the hostess was but she came sauntering back to the desk and finally seated us. I would say that our waitress was a little off, very forgetful and didn't know much about the menu and or drinks. It was not a bad place...they had it decorated so you could look at stuff and they had music and videos playing so it was very casual and relaxing. The food was good and did come out hot and with flavor. Portions were decent. read more

My sisters, a couple Friends, and I visited the cafe on our last visit to the casino and left very disappointed. I would first like to preface that the miscommunication between the host and server may have been a result for this experience; however, I still feel compelled to share our experience. Our table of 5 was immediately seated which was great. There was an event at the casino, so we were very entertained with the vibe and the people around. We quickly realized we hadn't been seen by a waiter and had been waiting for more than 30 minutes. Once we noticed that the waiter served a couple that had arrived after us, we immediately summoned him over. It took 40 minutes for our orders to be placed from the time we were seated. Additionally, it took us over an hour to receive any of our drinks and there was never an apology from the staff. Our waiter never smiled at us, never apologized, nor did he even make eye contact with us while taking our orders. The food itself was pretty good as well as the drinks, but the entire experience was very disappointing. The bruschetta was my favorite food item. The flavors were great! My strawberry lemon drop was also very tasty! We had ordered a round of green tea shots which were also made very well. To end the experience, the waiter provided a fist pump rather than any apologies for the wait. Our group had high hopes for this restaurant and left very disappointed. This is now the second restaurant that I have tried at the casino and have left very upset and dissatisfied. read more

Five-Star Service for JOEL - A True Gem! I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Joel today, and I truly can't say enough about the incredible experience he provided for me and my parents. My dad has a bad leg and can't walk very well, and Joel went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. Rather than making my parents get up to pay the bill, Joel walked back and forth from the host stand to the slot machine my parents were playing on, with such patience and care, just to accommodate us. That small act of kindness meant so much to us. From the moment I approached the host stand to place our order, Joel was warm, attentive, and professional. He smiled genuinely at every customer, treated everyone with respect, and never once let his demeanor shift--even in what seemed like a busy service. You could just tell he has a kind soul and truly loves what he does. Joel exemplifies everything great customer service should be. His calm, consistent positivity made our experience feel special, and it's rare to come across someone with such natural grace and dedication. He deserves recognition and, in my opinion, should be on a track to management. Any restaurant would be lucky to have him leading a team. Thank you, Joel, for making our visit unforgettable!

We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday play some slots and enjoy some good food... the restaurant she wanted to try closed so we decided to give the cafe a try.. The staff I would give a solid 5 stars to.... They were all very kind and helpful... however the food was just ok.. so so... We ordered loaded tots and the fajitas.. steak and chicken mix. The chicken was excellent! That was truly good, tender juicy goodness... the steak lacked flavor and was cut too thick, you need to cut it into small pieces before you try and eat it, however they did cook it medium as ordered. The other issue with the fajitas was the grilled veggies... veggies is a stretch. It's literally just a ton of grilled onions and less than a 4th of a cut up bell pepper, no joke it was 3 slivers of a bell pepper... The tots were not great. I had two tots and couldn't eat any more they had a super funky flavor neither one of us liked. Our server was great, he took care of us and was had a great attitude. read more

The Hard Rock Cafe at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino at Fire Mountain. Such a mouthful. Their menu has a good variety of items to choose from. While a bit pricey, I get that the restaurant is really more fancy than casual despite the word "cafe" in their name. The ambiance of the restaurant as well as the casino, of course, is musical artists and their instruments and/or clothing. There is a stage so I'm guessing there are musical acts that play there? Anyway, my $25 Salmon Noodle Salad was pretty good. The salmon was grilled perfectly and the sauce was delicious. My hubby's $19 chicken sandwich and fries were also really tasty. The $8 strawberry basil lemonade was very refreshing. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us to make sure we were good and provided refills as needed. read more

I like it! This casino is, by far, the best in the area. The ambiance is nice even for non gamblers, like me. They have so much rockstar memorabilia encased everywhere, I had fun just walking around viewing it. Along with a few other dining options, they also have a bar and dining area with a live band or music playing for late night eating and drinking and entertainment. They offered an array of food options and the food was good. The service was welcoming but a little slow (however I must admit that there was a full crowd and it appeared to be short staffed). read more

We were here so decided to check it out. We were seated right away which was nice! The menu has a lot of burgers and sandwiches. There is actually an all-day breakfast plate, which looked reasonably priced! I got the jalapeno burger, which also came with french fries. The fries were pretty good, but the burger wasn't that good. It was pretty bland, on the smaller side, and didn't taste anything special, it also wasn't spicy. I was actually disappointed. If I do return, I would try a different burger! Service was good and staff was attentive. read more
