    Wonderful band, great guitarists
    Dorothy H.

    My server was really great. Well trained for it to be her 6th day on the job. Sara was friendly and appropriately chatty. My husband ordered the BBQ combo. He thought the pull pork wasn't too soft and the flavor was off. I ordered the chicken tenders and they were cooked too hard. It was close to closing so maybe that was why. The music and ambiance was still great.

    We're here in Tampa for a Texit crypto event and decided to go to Hard Rock Casino for the evening. We are at the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. I had the salmon, my husband had the ribs, and our friend had the chicken fajitas. All very good. The waitress was very attentive and the dinners came out fast. We really had a great time. My husband tried his luck with the slots: he won $250 with only 50 cents! What luck! It was a very cool place to spend the evening!

    The food was fresh and flavorful. The burger was really juicy and tender. I loved my entire meal! I received great service and the vibe was dope!. I would definitely come back.

    I'm not a huge fan of large chain restaurants, but this was the best option before our concert, and I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed our dinner very much. I thought the ambiance was cool and enjoyed watching the music videos as the songs played. Service was a bit slow, but our server was very friendly. I ordered a southwest chicken bowl and thought it was actually quite delicious. I would have liked a bit more of the extra stuff inside of it, but that's personal preference. The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the flavors were still all very good, especially the dressing it came with. My husband ordered one of their original burgers and fries and said it was awesome. All in all a solid dining option whenever you're taking in an event there

    Stopped by Hard Rock Café and the atmosphere definitely stood out--loud music, rock memorabilia all over the walls, and a fun, energetic vibe that makes it feel unique. The menu had plenty of choices, from burgers to pastas, and the portions were big enough to share. I ordered a burger and fries; the food came out hot and had good flavor, though it wasn't anything mind-blowing for the price. The staff was friendly and attentive, checking in often to make sure everything was good. Drinks were solid, though on the expensive side. Overall, Hard Rock Café is more about the vibe and experience than just the food, but it's worth visiting at least once for the atmosphere.

    Famous Fajitas and Chicken Burger

    The food was very delicious. I loved the steak and chicken fajita. As well as the fries. The servise was very friendly and nice! They were very sweet and keen serving us! The ambiance is beautiful, there is a stage where the band plays. Singing and music... I recommend the fajitas!

    On vacation at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa and went to this Hard Rock Cafe location twice today. The open kitchen is a cool addition and it was spotless. There is a stage in the back of the restaurant for live entertainment. The place was very busy early evening. The rock n roll theme decor is everywhere. We went for a tasty Lemon Drop night cap just before the bar closed at midnight. The bartenders were very friendly. Great place to eat and end the evening.

    Typical tourist trap but a great spot for burgers and fruity cocktails. Service was good and ambiance is giving me family friendly fun.

    quick visit to the Hard Rock just to look around. The building is beautiful and all the music industry decor is interesting. I only lost $10 in the casino because I don't gamble-or at least not very much. I love seeing all the amazing music industry decor. It was very clean.

    Dropped in to take a break from the casino floor, being I was a little up for the day I decided to hold on to my winning a little longer while grabbing some lunch. There was no wait time and the friendly staff at the hostess station greeted us and immediately found us a table on the top tier in front of the stage - no band playing but the restaurant was rocking and as you'd expect had a high energy atmosphere. Our server met us at the table within minutes and took our drink order while dropping off a few menus, she was back after only a few moments and asked if we'd like a few more minutes to figure things out. We were ready and ordered the Spicy Diablo Burger and Chicken Tenders which both arrived with fries. I definitely loved everything about this venue but found the food very disappointing, the double cheeseburger was ridiculously constructed using what appeared to be two slider size patties stacked on a large bun, after peeling away the excessive amount of bread I basically had a slider with cold fries for about $18 forgetting about the cost I was offened by the quality and portion - the chicken tenders were equally disappointing although the portions were what you'd expect. It was a nice place to take a break although I'd probably just get a refreshment in the future and opt out of eating here. I was happy with all the staff I interacted with they were all amazing and attentive, in my opinion a little better kitchen could really elevate this place but today's visit was just okay at best...

    Love the mics around the hostess stand-August 2023

I reached out while planning a proposal to my now fiancée at the nearby park, hoping to arrange a small photo shoot area with champagne before dinner. After one quick email, the General Manager personally called me and spent time talking through ideas and helping make the evening special. Even with that conversation, I was completely unprepared for just how extraordinary they made everything. When we arrived, we followed a trail of rose petals to a beautifully decorated private table waiting for us with flowers, a handwritten card, champagne, and glasses already set. It honestly felt like something out of a movie. The attention to detail and genuine care from the entire team was unbelievable. The manager working that evening and our server were both absolutely wonderful -- warm, attentive, and sincerely excited for us. And on top of all of that, the food was phenomenal as always. I'm still in awe of how special Ulele made the night feel. I truly cannot imagine a better place to have proposed. This restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we'll definitely be back for many anniversaries and celebrations to come. Highly, highly recommend.

Not only the drinks are phenomenal, but the food is absolutely amazing. The hubs really likes the brussels sprouts here. I think they are too wet. I wouldn't order them myself. I normally like them crispy on the outside and moist in the middle and not wet. It was a weird sauce almost like Cajun, which is unusual for brussels sprouts. I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen. I like to order it with a side of beer cheese dipping sauce; it is absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend ordering a side of beer cheese dipping sauce. The drinks here are so strong. I was only able to get one since it was so strong. They are just too strong for me but very delicious. The hubs likes all of the drinks here he's tried them all. I ordered the espresso reposado martini, and I explained it to the server that I didn't want it sweet and he had a smarta$$ remark. I never saw him again after that drink hopefully, I never get that server again. He was ridiculous. The remainder of the service is absolutely incredible. Everyone is super sweet that we ordered food & rest of our drinks from. They must really enjoy their job. They're just a lovely bunch there. Know the menu extensively well and can recommend anything that you're craving for. Except for the first guy that we ordered our drinks from I would avoid that person. He was weird.

So we walked to the outside shaded area to grab a table but the waitress stopped us and said the free seating is outside outside (in the sun). So we went back in and asked for a table in the shaded outside. They brought us back to the table we were originally trying to sit at. So, already a rough start. The shaded area is nice to sit in though. It wasn't too hot, they had fans on and I wasn't cold for the first time ever. We ordered the truffle fries, Kurobuto Pork burger, wings (half lemon pepper, half buffalo) and Brussels sprouts, a medium sized Blue Moon and a medium sized Yuengling. The truffle fries were terrible! Mostly cold, not crispy, not enough salt, just overall bad. No Parmesan cheese on them either. The Kurobuto burger was actually pretty delicious. It had candied bacon, white American cheese, arugula and blueberry ketchup. The Brussels sprouts were nothing to write home about. They had good flavor, but weren't crispy at all. Half of the wings came out cold (the buffalo ones). We asked to have them replaced and then the waitress disappeared for about 15-20 minutes as our beers sat empty. Not sure what happened, but the wings came back out after 15 minutes, right before we were ready to leave. My friend said she didn't want them because we were about to go to a concert and didn't want to leave them in her car. The waitress finally came back about 10 minutes after that and said the wings should be coming. We told her we sent them back because they took too long. She ended up taking them off the bill. The ambiance was nice and it's a convenient place to eat if you're going to an event at Benchmark, but the food didn't live up to the high prices. Would probably not come back.

Awesome. Didn't even need the two sauces they let you pick cuz the food was so fresh and flavorful. Every forkful had it's own unique blend of tastes and they were all great together. The chipotle sauce was tasty and light. The ginger tumeric had a great taste but was made with a mayo base I think and was just too thick/heavy. If they thinned it out a bit it would be perfect. This minor shortcoming was not enough to earn less than 5 stars. Enough food for 2 more meals, all for $10-15. Will Definitely be eating here again soon and frequently. Fresh, light, flavorful, clean. Done.

It felt comfortable, elevated, and easy to enjoy a full meal without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. Our server was training someone, but you couldn't even tell--it was so professional.

There was no rushing and no stress on the servers. You could tell they really enjoyed what they were doing. They also offer complimentary valet, and you can even Venmo a tip, which made arrival and departure super easy. At the end of our meal, someone even came to box up our food for us--we didn't have to do it ourselves. Very old school NY!!! Top-tier service. As for the food: the oysters we had were flavorful, and the garlic bread selection was soft and not overly heavy on the garlic. My friend ordered the scallops with risotto and crispy prosciutto, and I ordered the special chicken Parmesan with a side of spaghetti in a lemon sauce that they suggested. I was in the mood for a lemon-flavored pasta, and they absolutely delivered. Both plates were phenomenal. I wish they had a place like this in Orlando. I also wish the chicken parm would always be a special because that sauce was delicious. Growing up in Brooklyn, I've had some really good Italian food--and I would absolutely come back here. I'd give service five stars and food five stars. Thank you for a great meal--you did not disappoint.
