    Consistent good food. And cool stuff to do at. Sunday lunchtime, got seated right away. Spicy shrimp was so yummy! Hubby had cheeseburger. Our server Tracy was fabulous, very friendly and checked on us. Wanted to get in and out to make our reservation at the falls. Great music and videos while there. Had time to pick up a tshirt. Perfect!

    I thought the place was pretty cool. There are a lot of memorabilia to look at and history facts which makes it pretty interactive. The service was friendly but it was fast. It gives you time to enjoy the ac though during the hot summer months. The food was alright. Pricey but decent.

    I went here with my family during my trip this week to Niagara Falls. We went here twice during our trip. The 1st day we went was last Thursday for dinner. I wanted the Margherita Flatbread Pizza but they were out so I had the chicken fingers, my brother had the chicken Cobb salad, and my mom had the salmon. The portions were just right. Our server was amazing & attentive. And the ambiance was laid back for a Thursday night. Our 2nd visit was with the rest of the family on Saturday afternoon, this time I had the Margherita Flatbread Pizza, which was ok. I did enjoy the fries from my brother's Messi Chicken Burger Sandwich meal.

    Hard Rock Cafe is an American restaurant chain that is known for their rock-and-roll memorabilia decor. This location can be found in Niagara Falls, ON off of Falls Ave. I've been to Hard Rock Cafe in the past so I already knew what to expect; decent food, good service, and high prices. I started with the One Night In Bangkok Spicy Shrimp. The sauce was delicious, but they were too heavily breaded. For my entree I chose the Baby Back Ribs. The ribs are seasoned with a signature spice blend and then glazed with house-made barbecue sauce. They were a little overcooked/dry, but still enjoyable. This place has a great vibe, but don't come here expecting the food to be amazing. One Night In Bangkok Spicy Shrimp - 7.5 Baby Back Ribs - 7.6 Seasoned Fries - 7.4 Smokehouse Beans - 7.3 Food - 7.5 Service - 8.3 Value - 7.3 Restaurant score - 77

    Food was so so, poutine fries not the best and the chicken in my sandwich was overcooked. It was meh to say the least. The burger we ordered wasn't that great, nothing special to it. The mashed potato's that came with it was terrible no taste. Portions were way too big. Service was great and ambiance was decent af least.

    I went here around 8:20pm on Friday for a quick dinner during my Zoom Tour I was on before meeting up with my group again at 9pm. There was no wait at that time, so they sat us at the tables outside. Visiting this restaurant wasn't part of my original plan, but I chose this since it was near my group's meet up spot and we ran out of time to do all the other solo activities we planned since we were too busy taking pictures at Niagara Falls. Anyways, this restaurant has a wide variety of American foods, ranging from burgers, pasta, nachos, sandwiches, alcohol, and many more, so that was good for us since we didn't know what we wanted to eat. We ended up ordering the smallest meals we could think of with our 30 minutes we had left for dinner that day. We ordered the All-American Sliders and the Classic Nachos and they were super quick at serving us our food! Both of the meals we ordered were a lot larger than we thought! I also liked how loaded the Classic Nachos were, but we ended up having trouble finishing the food since it was so filling! All the food was good though and I loved how loaded the nachos were! Hehe we were literally scarfing down our food with the limited time we had left before meeting up with the group again to watch the weekly fireworks show nearby. I'd recommend this place! They're quick at serving you and all the food still tasted good even though I was eating it quickly. This Hard Rock Cafe location also has a small merch shop if you want to buy some souvenirs from them.

    Okay, so you are in Niagara Falls, seeing one of the natural wonders of the world. You just over paid for a crap hotel room, and are stuck out there trying to find a place to eat. Where do you go? Well, first mistake, you should have went to the local grocery store or brought food because you are in TOURIST TRAP HEAVEN! Yea, that's right, accommodations and better food at more reasonable prices are available in Toronto, seriously! So, let's get back to you, here you are. You are already sitting down in this business wondering what's up, or outside wondering if it's okay, or just randomly freaking out about where you are going to eat in a square mile as your family loses their collective minds. If that's true, at this point, you are stuck and this is NOT a bad option. Ya'll didn't think it through, but it's going to be okay here. Here it is: OVERPRICED!!! Big time. 20 bucks US for a hamburger. I have to admit though, it was really good, not 20 bucks good, but more like 12 bucks good. Drinks are expensive, the business doesn't look good anymore, the memorabilia is fairly limited for a Hard Rock, and the bathroom is pretty deplorable. I noticed a lot of people sitting down, looking at the menu, and leaving. I mentioned it to our server and they said it was because of the prices. They have roughly a 10% bolt rate according to them. So, back to you, you aren't going to find anything else better at this point, so stick it out, it won't be bad, and make better plans next time so you aren't reading this review. Cheers, enjoy your time at the falls, go to the laser show at night and bring ponchos for when the wind switches and blows the entire falls all over you. :). I don't mean that in a bad way, it was spectacular and special for my family. Enjoy.

    Oh how the mighty have fallen This location was no where near the old time Hard Rock vibe. The staff were fine and our server was pretty good They give you a QR code menu with no wifi and no cell coverage in the place. The menu what's gone down hill substantially to the point of our table of 5 had 4 max n cheese dinners and something else forgettable The mac n cheese was actually pretty good and the only redeeming pert of the experience. I always lived the hard rock and would go to everyone I could find. Not anymore

    Haven't been to HRC in 6yrs since that 1 time we went in Florida. Was really excited. We got the classic nachos although we shouldn't have cuz I remember how huge the serving is from last time. The nachos are pretty good, comes with pico de gallo, got jalapeños & sour cream on the side. The beans were on the bottom. It's pretty cheesy & crispy. We also got poutine- fries with gravy & cheese, which was pretty good. We also got cedar plank salmon ($36) with mashed potato & corn on the cob. The salmon & mashed potato was really good but the serving of salmon was pretty small. It's very busy we had to wait awhile for our server to come so we could pay the bill.

    We sat on the patio outside. Best mojito of my life. Food was good. Good service. Like the live music.

    Mediocre food. Over priced. Tourist trap. The Hard Rock Cafe on US side is much more cheaper.

    Overpriced and below average quality. I have been to many Hard Rock Cafe restaurants and this one doesn't live up to the standard.

    We received tickets to see Sergio Mendez at the Avalon Theater at Fallsview Casino. Think bossa…read morenova music with a mixture of jazz and funk. Fun concert! Our seats were in the 1st row on the balcony. Basically, there are no bad seats here, but the front row has a railing that partially blocks the stage. Luckily, there were empty seats higher up, so we moved. The band and Sergio.were great, but there seemed to be problems with the sound with the singers. Not sure if it was our location (speakers), problems with mics, or something else. Regardless, it took away a bit of enjoyment. Overall, not a bad place to see a concert. Side note. Your concert ticket gives you free parking in the ramp garage. 2023-99

    A great theater to see a concert! I was here for Nick Carter and had a third row center seat!…read moreI will say, security sucks, and needs to be fixed. Everyone stands during BSB shows, which is fine. Nick came out and everyone stood up. There is a big space between the front row and the stage, so the whole front row moved up, which is fine. However, security did absolutely nothing, so everyone from the sides also went to fill that gap, and since I was in the center, went right in front of me. I was also directly in the middle of the row, so I couldn't get out. And to add to this, the one guy that was actually at Nick Carter's show not only moved out to the front, but stood front and center right in front of me. I am short, so I had the honor of seeing the back of his dumb head the entire show. Not to mention, what man stands in front of thousands of women at a Nick Carter show?? I realize that isn't the venue's issue, but I have pent up anger... So, would I see a show here again? Yes, But security needs to fix this, and I will most definitely complain about it if I go back. People with worse seats than me should NEVER be able to go stand in the front row.
