    Very good service, staff really nice. Was seated promptly and the food didn't take long at all considering how busy it was. The shop was quite expensive, however if you buy a cocktail drink, for an extra £3-£4 you could have a glass to take home so was worth it that way Would recommend

    Went to Hard rock Manchester for a pre Iron Maiden concert, had a few drinks & food, great atmosphere with iron maiden music being played through the day, staff were excellent our server Leroy provided excellent service, food was excellent which was great for me being coeliac, Hard Rock is coeliac approved, also nice to see that the Magners Cider has been replaced by Koperburg, a great experience.
    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded 4 days ago
    Hello Brian. Thank you for leaving us such an amazing review! We're pleased to hear you had a great time with us and enjoyed our food and drink offerings. We always like to celebrate Iron Maiden coming to town and ensure fans have a great experience with us before the show. We hope you found the gig as amazing as we've heard it was? I shall be sure to pass the compliments onto Leroy. We do pride ourselves on our Gluten Free offerings, and also agree Kopperburg is a great cider to have on draft. We hope to see you again soon.

    I have just come out of a meal with my girlfriend and I'm quite frankly appalled. When we first came in the servers were rude and unapproachable when I told them we had booked through virgin experiences. When we were finally sat down the refillable drinks on offer were tasteless like the syrup had run out so it was just soda. I had the chicken tenders which were overcooked and tasteless and my girlfriend had the mac and cheese which wasn't much better. I gave her part of my chicken so she could see how it tasted and immediately after that she had to go to the toilet to be sick because it was so bad. I told a member of staff but they didnt seem interested. We were hopefull that the chocolate brownie would make us feel like we hadn't been robbed but again it was tasteless, boring and left us both feeling unwell. We left after a long process to get the voucher checked and won't be returning. We were both really excited to come and eat there today but now we're disappointed, ill and both feel robbed.

    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded on June 13, 2025
    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
