    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded 4 days ago
    Hello Jacqui, Thank you for leaving us a review. We're sorry to hear the food and cocktails aren't to your liking. Did you know the vast majority of the items we sell on our menu are made from scratch in-house? From our succulent smoked BBQ ribs, to our rich, creamy Caesar dressing to our delectable Hot Fudge Brownie. We do hope any issues you had with your food and cocktails were bought up with a member of staff during your visit as this could have been easily rectified. We do hope you'll give us another chance soon. Team HRC Manchester

    This was ok - but ok at best. I felt the burgers were far too salty, and the fries served with them also far too salty - the saltiness really got in the way of any flavour. The nachos starter was lovely, but a bit big for a starter. Overall ok, but not worth £77 overall it was ok - but i dont feel worth £77
    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded 5 days ago
    Hello Steven, Thank you for leaving us a review. We would like to apologise if you found any food too salty and not to your liking. We hope you bought this up with a Team Member during your visit as we could have easily rectified this situation instantly. We are always more than happy to cook a fresh meal if required. In regards to the nachos they are designed as a sharing dish. We're sorry if this was not made clear to you. We do hope you'll give us another chance and visit us again. Team HRC Manchester

    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded 7 days ago
    Hello Shaun, Thank you for leaving us a review. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our food and drink offerings with us. We would like to apologise if you found the restaurant cold, we don't like our guests to feel cold whilst dining with us and do hope that you bought any issues you had in regards to room temperature up with the Manager on Duty as we are always happy to either move you to a spot away from the doors/blowers or turn the heating up a little if needs be. We do hope you'll give us another chance and next time you'll find it a much more pleasant temperature. Team HRC Manchester

    I was there for 3 hours. The music was all pop. I’ve been going for years and the Hard Rock Cafe should at least play some rock. Pop isn’t what people go for and it ruins the atmosphere completely.
    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded on June 8, 2025
    Hello Daniel, Thank you for leaving us a review. We're sorry the music wasn't up to your liking. We do like to play a variety of music in the cafe but it looks like we missed the mark on this occasion. I will be sure to pass on the comments to the appropriate department. We do hope you'll give us another chance to show you how we really rock! Team HRC Manchester
