The apple on it was mushy Hubby got the ribeye and had to send it back because he ordered medium and he got well done. The replacement was edible but not phenomenal. Long story short it was over priced and under valued. We will not be going back. And the biggest disappointment is today is our anniversary. It was supposed to be an awesome lunch.

I had the fried calamari sushi roll (sashimi, since it's cooked?) and the teriyaki chicken bowl…read more The calamari tasted like old frier oil, Yuk. The teriyaki bowl was pretty good though with various flavors of the sauces and food components. Unfortunately, as i left I used the men's room and while it was clean neither of the automatic soap squirt dispensers could be coaxed into operating with any amount of prestidigitation. A particularly disturbing experience as I had followed a kitchen crew member into the men's room who had apparently gone to to take a dump. So I guess the best he will be able to do is to maybe rinse his hands prior to returning to the kitchen??? DOUBLE YUCK. I did let the bar manager know on the way out and she did leave to go look into the soap issue. It appears to be a light, fun, and trendy place reminiscent of the Fridays restaurants but with an updated and current atmosphere inside. Probably a good place to bring a group gathering.

My husband and I recently had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe inside Hard Rock Casino Bristol. The…read morerestaurant was clean, well organized, and had a lively atmosphere. Since it's located inside the casino, it's not a quiet or intimate dining experience, but that fit the mood of our evening just fine. Our server, Kansas, was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal. Service was prompt, and we felt well taken care of. I ordered the Caesar salad with salmon, and my husband had the Caesar salad with steak. Both entrées were outstanding. One thing I appreciate about Hard Rock Cafe is the consistency of the food and the generous portion sizes, and this visit was no exception. A fun part of the experience was watching the band warm up for the evening. There's also a bar area where guests can order from the menu while enjoying the live music. Combined with the casino, it offers more than just a restaurant meal if you're looking for a night out. The only minor drawback is that the casino that surrounds the Cafe is a smoking area. However, we didn't notice it permeating the Cafe. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and would gladly return.

We're hoping to see the Arizona / Houston basketball game but it wasn't on any screen. Asked the bartender and he quickly got the huge TV in front of switched! He definitely gets points for this. For dinner we split the nachos and though I would have loved to have some ground beef on it didn't have that option and didn't want steak. Having said that, the portion was huge and plenty for two people. There is a stage and the bar is well positioned to enjoy the band that was playing.

You walk in and there's outdoor seating with the garage doors open. It was very pleasant outside but we chose to eat indoors. The artwork on the walls is so clever and unique. Our server came over right away and took our drink order. She gave us ample time to look at the menu, which is huge with lots of different options! I ordered the half club sandwich. It doesn't come on sliced bread. It comes on some type of bun. It was HUGE. I couldn't eat it all even though it was delicious. It comes with their homemade spiral chips and they were delicious!! My friends ordered a slice of the Key Lime Pie! Wow, I got a bite and it was delicious! We all highly recommend this place and definitely plan to return in the future! Our service was wonderful, the atmosphere was fantastic!

Then by the time you drive around to the other side, they collect payment and hand you your food. It really is sudden service. We ordered: Double with cheese for $7.80 Patty melt $5 Large frenchie fry $3.50 Large Dr. Enuf $2.80 Strawberry milkshake $3.40 Cotton candy milkshake $3.40 Total $28.30 after tax. It was a lot of food!!! We couldn't resist because we aren't usually near a Pal's so we wanted to try everything. The French fries were hot and fresh, a bit on the salty side but still delicious. The seasoning they put on their fries are different from other fast food places. We probably could have gotten away with sharing the double with cheese; it's that big! Patty melt was good; it came with a sauce kinda similar to Big Mac sauce. I didn't care for the Dr Enuf but my husband liked it. It kinda has a vitamin flavor to it? Like flintstone vitamins in liquid form lol. Milkshakes were alright; great value for the amount they give. One thing to note, they don't have a dine in option; you have to eat inside your car or park and stand outside to eat. Nowhere to sit.

BBQ tends to blend together after a while, but theirs stood out, good flavor without being overpowering, something for everybody.

I'd be back here in a heartbeat if I'm ever down this direction again.

All-in-all, it's an okay place to go. The service was very good and the decor was as expected for a BBQ joint.
