BBQ platter with ribs and pulled pork, and the Electric Blues cocktail
Magnolia B.

If you're a tourist, you might have a fine time here. We live right down the street and figured we should give it a try after seeing a movie at Grauman's. Got it out of our system - we would not come back here. It's a dark, high-ceilinged, windowless space with an open view of the kitchen. Black, dark purple, gloomy vibe. You'll either smell old fryer grease wafting from the kitchen whilst at your table or urinal cakes from the restrooms as you check out the rock memorabilia on the walls. The server was performative and friendly. The drinks were good - we tried the "legendary" hurricane and an Electric Blues. The hurricane had perfect flavour, and the other one was tart and refreshing. My boyfriend ordered the BBQ platter with ribs, pulled pork, fries, beans, and coleslaw. The ribs were just okay - not dry, but not fall-off-the-bone tender. The BBQ sauce is pretty good, so the pork was enjoyable. The beans tasted weird - we did not like the taste and they were left untouched after two bites. The slaw was fine. The fries seemed overly battered and weren't great. Sauces other than ketchup are an upcharge. I ordered the fried chicken sliders, as the regular chicken sandwiches and the burgers all sounded basic. The sliders were supposed to have jalapeño coleslaw, pickles, and hot honey - it sounded like the spiciest and most flavourful offering. They were AWFUL. They were probably one of the worst things I have ever ordered at a restaurant. They used dark meat, which tasted gross and looked unappetising. The slaw was not spicy at all, and contained basil which dominated the flavours. The pickles tasted funny. I didn't detect one drop of honey, hot or otherwise. I don't know if they are always this bad or if it was because my order came out wrong (I was first served the regular chicken sandwich), and when I sent it back, they just slopped the sliders together. I still feel nauseated every time I think about them. If you're intent on coming here, I don't even know what I'd suggest ordering - certainly not meat. While the BBQ sauce was okay, if you're from a state that knows authentic BBQ, this ain't gonna impress you. Maybe just drink your meal and stick with their cocktails.

Right on Hollywood Blvd, next to all the action. Parking options are quite limited -- either side streets with meters or nearby parking structures, including Ovation (though validation doesn't apply here). I didn't eat at the restaurant, but the shop is fun to browse, with plenty of classic Hard Rock merch like T-shirts, hoodies, pins, and collectible items. They also carry some really cool LA and Hollywood-themed gear you won't find at every Hard Rock, which makes it a great stop if you're walking the Boulevard and want something a little more unique.

Amazing ambiance with live music and a lively crowd on a Friday night! Perfectly located on Hollywood blvd. Great attractions near by. Come for the food, stay for the live band!

Offering starters like the classic nachos, wings or onion ring tower.Legendary burgers, the impossible burger, chicken and pulled pork sandwiches. Desserts include the hot Fudge Brownie sundae,NY cheesecake and hot Fudge ice cream sundae.The signature Cocktails not to be missed include their specialty hurricane served in a souvenir glass, mai tai's and rhythm and rose mules.Plus seeing all the items owned by some great musicians is a bonus.I especially enjoyed seeing Jim Morrison's Pants.With fast and friendly service we received our very delicious nachos and impossible burgers and frys.

Fast, fun and friendly service with such great memorabilia to explore and see. There's shareables that includes wings, nachos and my favorite the onion ring tower.They offer a delish impossible burger, legendary burger,pulled pork and chicken sandwiches, salads, steaks, salmon and chicken tenders. Desserts if your not to full are the NY cheesecake and the yummy brownie sundae that offers enough to share.Milkshakes and signature cocktails include the hurricane served in a collectible glass. With speedy service and a smile our nacos and burgers were delivered. With so many choices they offer the hard rock should not be missed. ROCK On !!

Stop by with some family who was visiting from Memphis they love the vibe of the restaurants seeing all of the artifacts on the walls. The wait time was ridiculous. We had to wait over an hour to get seated, but the food came out quick once we were there and our waitress was amazing even gave us some tips on where to visit.

Diablo Burger

It's been awhile since we came to have dinner at the iconic Hard Rock Cafe. We arrived on 10-4-24 to eat before we saw the Joker sequel next door at the TCL IMAX theatre. We had a good time with our food and the service was great. I had diablo burger which was good and tasty along with french fries. Our server was Janay and she was awesome. She provided great customer service, professional and attentive during our visit. Looking forward to returning again for dinner before another movie.

Had a great time at the Hard Rock Cafe. Our server was nice and welcoming. The burger though was extremely oily, but overall was great. The fries were extremely yummy and tasty. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and very clean. The bun right now are due with pink. I'm guessing it's for breast care awareness month. Would come back especially when in Hollywood.

A"boneless wing". Gross.
Nickie C.

The ambience was fine. The server was good. The food was rough. We had a cheeseburger and fries which I would recommend. We had the chicken fajitas were ridiculously overpriced for what they were. The kids got the boneless wings, which were terrible and made with mystery meat. I wouldn't spend your money on food unless you're just getting french fries. There are plenty of other food options around so don't settle for this place.

The waiter who refused to remake my drink bc the cup had lips on it before I even touched it. Poured it straight into another cup...
Celestina J.

Back in August we went walking around after coming from Sj to make funeral arrangements in LA, for a bite and some drinks. Before we picked up the drinks there was lipstick on it. I told the bartender if he can remake it bc the glass was dirty w not my lips. He refused, and I said it's not my fault I was served a dirty glass. He took my drink, and poured it straight into a new cup. I stated that was unsanitary and he told me if I wanted him to make me a new drink, I would have to pay again and wait 10 min. I said that didn't seem right bc he didn't properly clean his station, I won't pay but I'll wait. I HOPE he actually remade it. I should have poured out the dirty drink myself after watching what he had just done. He walked away to the other side of the bar where I couldn't see him. He came back in 10 w a "new" drink... I told the waiter if he could talk to management... my waiter apologized on his behalf and said he would personally go in the back and slap him w steak. I wish it was a free round of drinks instead lol I also mentioned maybe the bartender should go home since he couldn't keep eye contact but I swore never blinked, kept chugging water, couldn't make coherent decisions... service is terrible and the food is mediocre.

Their Happy Hour is always on point and food and drinks are delicious! I have had a lot on the menu including the Chicken Poppers, Crispy Wings, Mozzarella Sticks, and the Creamy Mac & Cheese. The Sliders and Smash Burgers are pretty tasty as well! The Pepperoni Flatbread and the Shrimp Pasta are so good, too! I have enjoyed watching many games here, especially Dodger games and the camaraderie is incomparable! It is wonderful to see so many people supporting our Boys in Blue. Aside from games, their Trivia Night is always fun and it is always a plus when there is good music at an establishment, and this joint always has the jams playing. Their timing is great during games when they play great tracks over the commercials. I usually park at the meters on the street, so my experience here has been top-tier every time. Shoutout to everyone that works here!

What stood out most was the combination of great food and truly kind service. It's the kind of place you leave already thinking about when you'll come back. Highly recommend!

(It's an easy walking distance to the Pantages and parking at or across from the restaurant is half the cost of parking on Vine.) The patio is beautiful and amazingly quiet for being so close to Cahuenga. The food is fresh, beautifully seasoned, and delicious. The menu is varied enough that it has options for vegetarians and vegans too.I've never been anything less than delighted with anything I've ordered. When you're there, do yourself a huge favor and order the carrots (listed as the roasted farm vegetable). It may be my favorite dish anywhere.
