    The hotel itself is beautiful but I would not recommend "the kitchen". The breakfast buffet is not worth the price. On our second day there we decided to leave the hotel and get breakfast elsewhere. We ate at the Denny's on I drive and had ZERO complaints which is insane. The kitchen should blow Denny's out the water! Needless to say we expected much better food for the price and location.

    Caesar salad
    Glenn M.

    Delicious food! We had a late dinner after spending all day at the universal park. It was super delicious! Our kids had the buffalo chicken wings and split the short rib ragout and a Caesar salad. They loved the wings and thoroughly enjoyed the ragout. The Caesar salad was very crispy and fresh. They said it was very tasty!! My wife and I had the pumpkin and sweet potato bisque and shared a fall market Salad. The soup is a must try and the fall market salad is a must try as well! Fresh greens with candied nuts and a sweet vinegar dressing. Both were super yummy! For dessert we had the Oktoberfest cookie skillet which was a soft baked cookie. With pretzel inside served with a caramel sauce and topped with ice cream. It is to die for!! My kids and wife said we didn't need dessert so I ordered it. As soon as it arrived we all tried a little bit. I expected them to put their spoons down since they did not want dessert. I was looking forward to having it all to myself. I have never seen three spoons move so fast as they attacked the dessert! It was incredible! The service was wonderful! Our server was Chris and he was spot on! Very attentive! The ambiance was very comfortable and pleasant to be in. We all said this was one of our better meals to have on our 10 day trip. We hope to be back soon!

    Stayed at the Hard rock this past weekend so we definitely had to check out the onsite dining. The kitchen was delicious!!! Their calamari was hands down the best I've ever had. Light and crispy. Just perfect. The short rib ragout was amazing and cooked perfectly. Very savory. Our server Bryan was very friendly and took great care of us. Everyone loved their dish. I definitely recommend eating here if you're staying at the Hard Rock

    Menu - December 2024

    Located in the Hard Rock Hotel is The Kitchen. My parents and I stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel in December 2024, and dined here several times for both dinner and for breakfast. We dined here mainly out of convenience as the food wasn't anything standout in our opinion; though they do make a decent dirty vodka martini. Very solid service no matter the day part and the restaurant was comfortable and clean. If you are staying on property, it's worth visiting but I couldn't see coming here if not staying at this property.

    Classic Mac & Cheese
    Sarah S.

    If this place was about half the price I would probably rate it 5 stars. It's resort pricing, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising, but I would expect the food to reflect the pricing. I actually really like the mac and cheese entree--the cheese is delicious and I like the crunchiness of the bread crumbs. But it's a pretty straightforward comfort food meal for $21 dollars. My wife got the margherita flatbread and I didn't try it because it looked extremely unappetizing. The Velvet Bar upstairs actually has better quality food options, if it's after 5pm. The good news is the staff here are great, and you can get parking validated if you eat here (which they also do at the Velvet Bar when you spend over $40). It's a cool spot with a lot of potential and located at a great hotel.

    Fun times in Babylon

    My friend and I came in for magical dining as we were trying to get another restaurant down our list. We had reservations for 730 but I ran late. They told her they couldn't hold the reservation but when I got there around 9 the place was a little empty. We sat down and went through the menu. I started with a cocktail. Did the fun times in babylon. It was good in the beginning but I think with various flavors at dinner it became tart to me. For the apps we did the rockin rolls and orzo soup. Entrees we did the 5 oz filet and the airline chicken. Dessert was the crème brûlée and the pistachio crème. Both of the apps were delicious. I loved the cheesy rolls, they remind me of Brazilian cheese bread. Loved dipping it in tomato sauce, the orzo soup was comforting. The chicken and filet were both good. The pistachio crème tasted more like a keylime crème to me. I thought the crème brulee was a better dessert. Our waitress Lori was pretty awesome. Parking was validated with dinner.

    Rib eye Pasta Brocolini and Pork Chops
    Ashlee S.

    I have never been to one of the Universal hotels and this was very nice! I want to come back already. The drink was made by the bartender and because they had a full bar it was easy to just say what I liked and have something from the menu put together. The rock n rolls were not something I would order again. They were super stretchy and greasy and I wasnt a fan. I got to try some of my friends Brocolini and it was well seasoned and cooked well. I would immediately go back for the braised short rib pasta. It was on the more affordable side and very filling. I was super pleased with how the entire dish was cooked. The beignets were a smidge doughy for my liking and the bourbon caramel wasn't good I liked just plain caramel sauce. Overall I would be back and try another appetizer/dessert, but I would definitely eat the pasta again and again.

    The Kitchen was phenomenal! Service, food portion, quality and value were on point! Everyone went out of their way to ensure the dining experience was memorable! And, on Wednesdays and Fridays they have a magic sideshow! If you're lucky enough to get Craig then you're in good hands... so be ready for a nice magic show with a delicious dining experience! The portions were large; come with an appetite or be ready to share! The bar is set in a nice purple neon glow with giant copper kitchen lights overhead. There was a shirt wait for 25 minutes but we were called after only fifteen! The flatbread can be prepared GF, the skirt steak was a generous two portion cut of both sides set atop several duck fat fingerling potatoes and broccolini. While the lobster Mac N cheese can be prepared GF, they were unfortunately out of GF pasta this evening. However, that did prompt me adding a side of scallops to compliment my steak and these were cooked perfectly! The desserts were both large & divine!

    Omelette, Bacon, Biscuit and Gravy. D+ grade
    John R.

    Wanted to love this spot. I love brunch spots. Have no problem paying $50+ for a good brunch, do it often. However this spot at $62 was really barely better than a Golden Corral. - Omelette Bat was only real "made to order" spot. Was decent, but limited toppings, only 3 cheese options, and just barely above average. From there it all went down hill. - Biscuits were terrible. Nothing special like you'd expect at this price point. Something southern flaky, with layers and butter or unique twist. These were run of the mill grocery pop in oven frozen tasting. - Gravy was blah. As uninteresting as the biscuits. Only one. Would've been nice to see options like other brunches buffets at this price point. Brown gravy, sausage white gravy, and a pepper white maybe. Just boring and difficult to get to (no place to put lid while scooping) - Bacon was the biggest disappointment. It was holiday inn continental breakfast quality. Thin, greasy as all heck. Absolutely the worst low quality bacon ever. - Sausage, catalog food quality. Maybe Sisco or Ben E Kieth. Trash links. Would've loved higher quality, maybe options kielbasa, Portuguese even. - Salad, 2 bowls of to side (not a salad bar) one with Spring greens, the other an antipasto salad . No croutons, no toppings (I stole some cucumbers from the charcuterie board). Had to go to Omelette bar for a smidge of shredded cheese and 3 dressing options. Sizzler had them beat. SIZZLER. No other toppings. - Charcuterie, some cheese, crackers in a basket (mid st best) - Carving station, if you could call it that was a joke. Nothing but a rind of a ham. Sad joke. - Breads, pancakes. They had pancakes. At this price point I'd expect a Belgian Waffle station, with way more toppings than some jelly donut filling and whip cream. They had an assortment of toast breads and bagels. - Cereal and Oatmeal, it was there. - Fruit station, it was worse than a McDonald's parfait (I've never actually had one. But imagine it's better) - desert table(no opinion didn't waste my time at this point). - Drinks, I tried the unlimited Bloody Mary (also Mimosa available) The bloody was terrible. No traditional pepper flavor or very little, watered down, and garnished with lemon and lime? No Spanish olive, no celery stock. Just garbage jar pre mixed Bloody. At $50+ I'd hope for at least effort. Service. Omelette chef kind and helpful. Server was more or less ok. But had horrible breath. Imagine how bad it was that I'd comment. Servers don't get that close, yes it was that bad. Overall, Wont return most likely unless was family in town who wanted it. Hard pass. Hell go to Cheese Cake factory for a far better brunch for this price point or slightly more to the Grand Floridian at Disney World.

    I came here for a reservation with the Universal Orlando Run Club and I was absolutely thrilled with the service and quality of food. We came for an early seating and the employees were welcoming, the area was very clean. I absolutely loved the touch of printing "Welcome Run Club", it made me feel even more special as a consumer. The buffet options were fresh and I loved the omelette station. I hope we book another reservation as a group because I would love to come back, I highly recommend this location!

    Similar to the mountain stage classifications in the major cycling races like the Tour de France or Giro d'Italia, this place is "beyond category' meaning, it is in a class of its own. The Kitchen at The Hard Rock Hotel is not just an eating establishment, it is a landmark. Starting with impeccable service, you will find a warm and very helpful staff that will strive to ensure that your experience is unique. Recently renovated, the space is decorated with legitimate rock memorabilia that makes it a pseudo-rock museum. A complete menu that offers something for everyone, they will accommodate your food allergies and preferences to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable meal. Whether you are looking for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, The Kitchen is no doubt the place to see and be seen.

It was 30 minutes from our hotel, so I was hopeful that it wouldn't disappoint! We got there relatively early (20 minutes after they opened for the day), and nobody else was there, so that was kind of awkward, as was being told to order from a kiosk (or use the QR code at the table), rather than give my order to a human. But the kiosk allowed us to kind of 'shop' before making our decision, so that was good. Since we were the only customers, everything came out fast and fresh (in fact, his came out a few minutes before mine, so I had to steal his fries until mine came out, lol) Hubs got the Ultimate Smash Burger and Fries, which was delicious. Soft bun, big burger, delicious fries. I got the Chicken Dippers, and y'all - they were HUGE! And you got SIX of them! Well-seasoned and well-fried, with a flavor that I know I've had before (spice-wise), but I couldn't put my finger on. I ended up only eating two of the tenders, and brought the other 4 home for leftovers. The staff were all super-friendly and attentive. They gave me a box/bag for my leftovers, and bussed our trays when we were done. Seating is ALL tables, so if you're a "Booth Person" you might be bummed. But the seats were comfy, even on a bigger tushie like mine. Paper towels, salt & pepper, and ketchup were on the tables. The only 'con' for me was the hush puppies... it had pieces of corn in it. This is a personal preference, of course, but I like my HPs without pieces of corn or onions, so I didn't ding them for that! Great job to everyone here, everything was delicious. It's on my "Must Go Back" list for next time I'm in the area.

The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol.

Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

    Google review: I was in the Orlando area, and we decided to stop by here because there were great…read morereviews on TikTok. Well, they all lied. I ordered the turkey, mac n cheese, string beans, and djon djon plate, and my husband got the jambalaya plate. And we got two drinks: cherry lemonade and fruit punch. 0/10. The turkey tasted old, the pickles were spoiled, the rice was disgusting, the mac n cheese tasted like boxed Velveeta mac and cheese with onion powder and garlic powder... no salt. My husband took a few bites from his food and said it just tasted like rice and shrimp, no flavor whatsoever. I'm convinced these people get paid to review this place. Never again! Edited response after reading the owner response: Instead of the owner taking ownership of their nasty food, they want to bd combative in the response left under my post. Someone else calls out the food being tasteless and gets asked to come back to make it right. My opinion on the food IS MY OPINION. I don't ever write reviews for people, but that I had too. WE COULDNT EVEN EAT THE FOOD, so we tossed it out when we got home and had to buy food elsewhere. It was unacceptable. We are not from Orlando, we are out of towners, so how can we come back??? The food is trash and that's that and you pay for reviews PERIOD! If it weren't paid it would be better. I'm not the only one saying the food is nasty. Accept the fact and be better. Claiming to come back and speak to you as if one can speak to an owner behind a window... please. I still stand ten toes on my review! They have zero decorum, piss poor attitudes and customer service. I should have called the health department and report them for serving Poor quality food Since they want to be nasty to people who don't leave them positive reviews.

    I'm a tourist nothing said that this place was a ghost kitchen. They didn't have nowhere for me to…read moresit and eat my food. I pay an Uber to get here so I'm very frustrated about that because I couldn't eat my food. I ordered two pastries one chicken, one beef it literally took 30 minutes. There's no one you could talk to in regards to how long it'll be for the food so I had to wait just to get the food so I can order another Uber to go somewhere else when I get the two pastries that are four dollars apiece the ground beef one is horrible. The chicken is just basic that's there. There's no veggies there's no nothing inside these places just bread and meat very disappointed.

    What an awesome locals place. We stopped by on a Friday night before the "regulars" come in. A…read morefriend who work in the theme parks mentioned this place. It's past most of the theme parks life areas so you are eating a a locals place. Food: * Overall - lots of things to choose from * Nachos - large portion of nachos smothered in cheese - this would have been enough for both of us for dinner just by itself * Tacos - the tacos were good we tried both the beef and steak (slight rockstar) - both were plentiful and delicious * Beans and Rice - seasoned perfectly - I've not had anything close anywhere else - they were worth the drive * Drinks - Large margaritas that are flavorful The atmosphere is a bit like a dive bar. There is lots of seating and even an outdoor patio. If you sit near the front door you will see a couple of the local cats peaking in on you. There are TVs for sports fans and the staff was very attentive. We had multiple people check on us multiple times. STP is on my list for when we we to get away from the tourist areas without having to go across town.

    I was craving tacos at 2 a.m. after EDC and this place totally hit the spot. It has a fun dive-bar…read morevibe, and you seat yourself and get served. The menu features their signature sloppy tacos, and they really are sloppy in the best way. I got the ground beef basket, which comes with queso and pico plus a side. I went with chips so all the taco drips basically turned into makeshift nachos. So good and nicely seasoned. Prices were super reasonable for late-night food. Service was great too and the waitress checked on us often. They did ID us since it was after 10 p.m., which wasn't a big deal. We sat outside and it was pretty cold, especially with the fan blasting on max, but the food made up for it. Honestly perfect late-night food.
