This was my first time going to a Hard Rock restaurant and I have to say it met my expectations. It’s a great option if you’re in the Hollywood area and need a good bite while walking around the tourist sites or before a concert/event. They have music memorabilia hung around the restaurant and each booth has a mini flatscreen that plays various music videos, so great ambience. The staff was very friendly and the food was tasty. My only critique was the buns compared to their excellent burgers seemed very plain, like grocery store brand type buns. But that’s more of a corporate issue I’m assuming and not this restaurant location’s fault. The burgers themselves were cooked how we asked and our server (Hannah I think was her name) was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

Fun place to visit, nice servers, but food really not that great.

Austin was great and so were the other servers. table was ready for us on time.

Love Hard Rock great atmosphere and great serving people

Reservation was easy to make. We were seated quickly by the manager. The service was excellent. Definitely the best Hard Rock I have visited.

Loved everything with the noise level. It was really quite loud and uncomfortable

Our waiter was tentative and sweet, food was great, we had killer seats, and the staff did what they could to meet any accommodations we had.

A little loud even for those who are hard of hearing.. Just saying

Food was good and service also. Was really surprised how quiet it was on a Monday night. Having been to many hard rocks over the years they are always busy regardless of the day. Also really drafts as main door open blowing into the restaurant. Apart from that great food and would recommend visit. Perhaps on a Friday or weekend if you want more of a buzz.

We arrived about 10 mins late for our reservation due to traffic but the hostess was able to seat us right when we walked in. Our server (Tess) came by immediately to take our drink order and gave us menus to review. Our drinks (excellent margaritas) arrived shortly after and our food order was taken. It wasn't more than 10 mins later when our food arrived. I'm mentioning time a lot because we were trying to make a 6:30 p.m. play at the Dolby and were concerned we would be late. No concern necessary as we enjoyed our drinks and meal and made our show with time to spare. Thank you Tess for the great & speedy service, the bartender for the excellent drinks, and the cooks for the delicious food.

I loved Hard Rick Cafe. Great food, the music is awesome and I have to tell you the best burgers I have ever eaten! Snuggled in the middle of Hollywood a great stop on your sight-seeing tour. Don’t miss it!

Ordered a Caesar salad with chicken and had to ask for the chicken twice. Very slow bringing our bill and very inattentive.

We had a lovely pre-show meal at Hard Rock! The food was tasty and the service was great. It was definitely a little loud, but was a nice meal together!

I had show tickets at the Dolby Theater, so this was a great place to dine beforehand. We had several food allergies at our table and they were handled very well. The food was delicious. I had a gluten free bun on my burger that was so good I questioned if it really was gluten free! Our server was super nice and on top of his game. I liked that we were not rushed thru dinner and had plenty if time to eat and visit. I will come back here again!

This is a great place to dine prior to going to the movies or Dolby. Food was fresh and moderately priced. The salad entrees were amply, we could hardly finish it. The chicken fajitas were very tasty and again, a very filling meal. We did not have dessert, however, those pictured in the menu looked amazing.

This is an update to my March 13, 2019 Review. I was contacted by "Jimmy," the General Manager after my review on my experience. He was very concerned and said he would "Make it right for me."

My wife and I had not had a chance to go back until last night for our 4:30 PM reservations (2-23-20) and I did not have the opportunity to contact Jimmy prior to this reservation.

This time was much different than the last experience we had. The music was at a good level, so we could actually have a conversation at our table. Our Waitress (Kaylee SP?) was great, food was great and "Shane" who we believe was a manager came to check on us, without knowing issues we had before.

We will defiantly be back!!

Great food and atmosphere. Easy and convenient parking.

Food was excellent, music was fantastic. One of the best hard rocks I've been too.

We had a reservation and were told to wait ten minutes by a rude female at the desk.
We finally were seated but service was so slow we could not eat before we had to leave for Dolby theater performance. Faitas were fair, ribs were great as were hot wings. Margaritas were terrible! Big disappointment. Also music which I liked was too loud to talk. Maybe wrong place for people who want to talk, or not shout. As a fan of hard rock music, I hoped for more.

Lando was our server, fantastic, friendly, and on top of our service 100%. I’ve been to over 20 HRC’s and this is my first time here and favorite! Shane came around to check how our service was, and made us feel very welcome. We arrived before our reservation and they put us in the front of the line. I would recommend HRC Hollywood, and using open table for a reservation.

Much too loud!!!
The burgers were good, but way overpriced, as was everything else on the menu.

Fabulous! We come here every time we are in LA. Personable and quick service and the food is great. The spring rolls and Mac n cheese are my families favorites.

My family and I had an excellent dining experience here. We were seated right away, the food was delicious (the burgers, especially), and our waiter was very attentive. It was fun to walk around the restaurant and see the special items from rock history displayed on the walls. I highly recommend dining here! We definitely plan to come back next time in town.

Good place for a good food and a good time. We had burgers, Caesar salad with shrimp, cheesecake, apple cobbler and the giant brownie Sunday. Everything was excellent.

Amazing food, fantastic service and incredible atmosphere! We had a great evening and loved everything about this restaurant.

The food and drink menus have a good selection, portion sizes leave you full and satisfied, and the staff are so friendly and have such an infectiously positive attitude. Plus having a walk around the place leaves you in awe of all the famous items and history on the walls.

Definitely a must-visit for anyone in LA!

I won't use opentable to book your table. I did for a special occasion for my wife. Confirmed by an email and when we arrived after rushing to get on time. It was closed for a private party.

I had a fantastic experience at the Hard Rock Cafe. Our server was extremely attentive and courteous. The manager made a point to ask us how everything was as well as speak to us for a while. The food was a 10/10. Hot, fresh, and delicious! The vibe of the restaurant was great! Music, food, and fun for the entire family. Exceptional experience! Thanks to the HRC team for making my visit a memorable one!

Our family experience was great! The server was super patient and nice! The food was amazing. And we had a nice dinner to remember.

The food and service were mediocre. The atmosphere was cool. All in all it didn't live up to the hype.

Very good food and excellent milkshakes!!
Was very happy with the good selection.

We were visiting LA from Minneapolis and my daughter was auditioning for a university musical theater program. After touring the Walk of Fame and peeking in at the Academy Awards set-up across the street, we ended our evening with a gloriously fun evening at the Hollywood Hard Rock. We bought t-shirts in the shop and put them on immediately!

Awesome service. Awesome food. Awesome location

Great service! And happy Staff. The food was great and our dessert was delicious.

Die Atmosphäre war sehr schön richtig amerikanisch, wie wir uns es vorgestellt haben. Aber leider war ich von der Auswahl an essen enttäuscht, da es hier sehr wenig Auswahl gab. Aber der Service und die Mitarbeiter alle sehr nett.

We went to Hard Rock in Hollywood for our son's 21st Birthday. We had a great time. The food was really good, service was fantastic and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for to start our evening out. Highly recommend a trip to Hard Rock when visiting Hollywood.

We took a family member in from Peru to sight see in HollywoodZ. He’s never ate at Hard Rock, our experience didn’t disappoint! Albie was our waiter he was great recommended the pulled pork sandwich, delicious. As we were sitting we noticed the managers walking around and introducing themselves, they really made you feel comfortable and welcome. Music was a plus we heard a little bit of everything would live to come back for Karaoke nights. We were a party of 6 with reservations at 6, came Ina md our table was ready for us.

Food and staff are the best! Was pleasantly surprised that the inside has a great layout. Not just for tourists, it’s a treat to enjoy food, drinks, the memorabilia, and to watch those nostalgic, awesome music videos. Ordered the Norwegian salmon and chicken wings, and they were delicious. Will be back to try other dishes.

We made the reservation about an hour in advance because we didn’t know how busy it would be and boy was this the BEST FOOD and BEST SERVICE we have ever experienced. Our waiter was so kind but also hilarious. Within 5 minutes of being there, the manager came over and introduced himself and was super friendly and kind. Our food came out fast and was so fresh! Absolutely stellar service and the food was amazing. I will absolutely be back for more. Thank you so much Hard Rock Hollywood!!

Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere. My son and I opted to dine at the Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood. The entire experience was great. Food portions were generous and all the staff was super friendly. My dining partner had the ribs. When the dish arrived we were both slightly taken back by the large portion size. I had the chicken sandwich with bacon and cheese fries - they were both very good. The manager came by and introduced himself and made sure everything going well. The waitress engaged in some light conversation which was nice. The bus boy stopped by to clear the table and joked around a little. Everyone seem to enjoy genuinely enjoy working there and it shows. The staff attitude directly impacted the level of service provided. Highly recommended.

Would have preferred knowing that an entree in the USA is a main, not an appetizer as the first dish that came out, the buffalo wings was perfect and enough for a main - we couldn't finish the other dishes and I wasted a lot of money unnecessarily as a result. But, that did not detract from the experience as the service is very friendly and the music was awesome and I only wish I could come again but alas there is no Hard Rock in my country.
