Ick.
This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. The place was crowded and noisy so I went ahead and took a seat at the bar after confirming that food was available in there. Then my BBQ sandwich came out it was bleah - no good flavors in there just vinegar-meat on crappy bread. But the worst was the staff. You see, while I'm in there eating my meal and having a drink there's this seriously over-served woman panhandling trying to raise enough money to get the cheapest drink they serve. And the bar staff was just waiting patiently for her to get together enough spare change to buy her Bud Light.
I will never return to a Hard Rock Cafe again.
Worship rock legends while dining on familiar American favorites..
In Short
Walls covered with decades of Top-40 memorabilia, rock songs blaring in the background and an all-American menu typify this music-themed restaurant. The kitchen churns out group-friendly appetizers like nachos and Southern staples like barbecue ribs and chicken. Burgers are served with hefty sides of fries and the signature pulled-pork sandwich is topped with vinegar barbecue sauce. The gift shop sells branded items like T-shirts, shot glasses and hats.
DECENT. BEEN TO THE NEW YORK AND FT. LAUDERDALE. WOULD RECOMMEND NEW YORK. LACKING IN INTERESTING MEMORABILIA. FOOD DECENT BUT NO KNOCKOUTS. FAST SERVICE. TIP; PHILADELPHIA MAGAZINE IN HOTEL ROOM HAD AN ADVERTISMENT THAT SAID TO TAKE WITH ME AND AFTER $20.00 SPENT WOULD RECIEVE A SOUVINER. TURNED OUT TO BE A HARD ROCK CAFE DOUBLE SHOT GLASS. EXCELLENT.
Best beef brisket barbeque sandwich in the city.
I recently had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe with 5 of my friends and 2 of us tried one of their new entries: barbequed beef brisket sandwich. Both my partner and I agreed that it was the best we had tried in the Philadelphia area. It was even some of the best that either of us had tasted from well known restaurants in many different states, e.g., North Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, Kansas and Oklahoma. Considering that both of us are from Texas, this is a real compliment. The beef was very moist and tasty with a definite smoky taste. It was piled high on the bun with a great quality of beef.
My recomendation is go and try this great sandwich. In addition, the wait staff was very attentive and all of the food was served hot and promptly.
