    Been to hard rock Amsterdam and universal studios florida. Edinburgh is definitely the worst unfortunately. Had the steak at all 3 restaurants and the steak here was cooked correctly however very very chewy with lots of fat! Chips were overcooked. Kids burger was tiny and the bun was massive. Fajitas were ok but had to ask for mayo as doesn't come with salsa like other ones. Server was great.

    We hadn't been to Hard Rock Cafe for a couple of years. There was 6 of us. I had chicken fajitas as I've always had in the past. This time I was really disapointed, there was no flavour, no spice it was just grilled pieces of chicken breast and peppers with onion. Tasteless!!! Guacamole, sour cream were ok, the salsa was nice. So........I must be missing something as I thought fajitas were meant to have some sort of flavour to them. The air conditioning cooled our meals down quite quickly. Value for money? No. Service was very slow, but our server was lovely. The burgers were quite dry and not much flavour to them. Shall any if us return? No!

    Incredible experience for a night out, would 100% recommend it if you’re not sure where to go. We have tried the New York Strip (medium rare) and Chicken Grilled Fajitas and they were both cooked to perfection and with all those choices of drinks we’ll definitely be back soon, the Environment was also beautiful with amazing music and some of the best waiters.

    Eating at a Hard Rock Cafe has many similarities with other HRC locations. The Edinburgh HRC is not a large location but has a very nice ambience. The staff was also excellent, very friendly and welcoming. Drinks were quick and good, the food however was a letdown. Seasoning basically not existing, please do not misunderstand me, l do not expect hot and spicy but Fajitas without any seasoning at all?? The burger was….Let’s say I have had better ones at other Hard Rock locations and competitors as well. I have been to the Edinburgh HRC several times, we have always been very satisfied. I hope this time was an exception .
