Hard Rock Cafe

I recommend that you inquire about any menu item. For example, my grilled chicken arugula salad was actually chips cuts and spinach? It makes me wonder what they substituted for my brother’s hamburger…

I went with my friends from school. They order a salad. I was yearning for junk food that day so I ordered a hamburger; I haven’t tasted a better hamburger than «El Corral» in Miami and Colombia South America. The bread was old but humid; there is nothing more distasteful than wet bread.

Terrible service. Waitress actually sat at table at talked to customers for 15 minutes before even coming over to take our drink order.

Atmosphere is nice. Food was way overpriced and quality was eh. It was all frozen stuff that they are just reheating. They have a beautiful location on the river. I would think of the quality and price were to change they could really do some business. Guess that explains why there was only 1 table of people in there.

The reason for the five star review is that in the past I’ve been disappointed with various hard rock cafés. The Pittsburgh one though I think I’ve had one of the best burgers ever from a hard rock. Fries were great and service was actually excellent. Waitress was very helpful giving advice around town due to the fact we aren’t from here. Everyone in my party was pleased with the food. We all ate different burgers and my son had the grilled chicken and broccoli (I was shocked) on the kids menu and he loved it. We were seated in about 10 – 15 min and we had a party of 8. Very pleased with this visit.

I really did enjoy myself here, I am not a diehard Hard Rock Café fan, but I was impressed by the service and the food.
When we arrived here, it was a Saturday around lunchtime, we had a small wait to be seated. Be warned, I believe almost every Saturday they have a band playing on the stage. If you are not interested in seeing/​hearing the band ask to be seated in the room off of the main dining area or outside.
When we were seated, our drink orders were taken promptly and we were given time to look over the menu. I know it’s a chain restaurant but I think their menu is quite good. I opted for their Local Legendary burger. Each Hard Rock has one of these and it is inspired by the host city. Pittsburgh’s Local Legendary was basically a deconstructed pierogi on a burger. Basically it is their thick burger patty topped with a nice sized portion of mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, melted provolone cheese, and a nice dollop of sour cream. The burger was so big that I had to cut it half to try and devour it. The burger is cooked to your liking and comes out with a nice sized serving of seasoned fries and dipping sauce. Needless to say that the toppings on the burger began to fall off, but that led to a special treat on the plate that I needed to use the fork for. This burger alone would have me coming back over and over again.
Décor in here is typical for the Hard Rock brand, so if you have the time and the restaurant isn’t crowded, you can take your time to look at the items. If not, just keep coming back over and over again.
Of course there is a merchandise section that sells the typical Hard Rock Café trinkets that you come to expect from any of their restaurants. Eating outside is a nice treat, especially if the fountain is on in Station Square. Something to note, if you are a diehard Hard Rock Café fan, they do have a rewards program that you can use at their restaurants, hotels and casinos.

My family and I went there on a whim. First time there, and I can’t say it was impressing. It’s a little too cluttered with all the decorations. They’re interesting to look at. It just gets overwhelming. We were there when an amateur live band was playing. Thankfully we were outside — WAY too loud for an eating experience. The staff do the job, but it seems to be that we were inconveniencing them. The food is excellent. The chicken Caesar salad could use a little more chicken and the option of putting your own dressing on. The price seems a little expensive, so I can’t say that I would go back in a heartbeat…

I got food poisoning from here from spoiled produce in my salad. On top of that, the service was slow and it wasn’t even busy.

The location of the Hard Rock in Pittsburgh is fantastic. I love sitting outside, looking out on the river, the city and the dancing fountain.
The food is the same as every Hard Rock across the country, but it’s still good. It’s nice to have the comfort of the same Mac ‘n cheese or fajitas anywhere you are in the U.S. The customer service is always spot on and the atmosphere is lots of fun!

Great atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating, and good food, and surprisingly good place for kids all made hard rock café pittsburgh a nice place to eat for my family.

Called today to make reservations for July 4^th and was told I will have to do that online… so I asked for the manager to explain this to me. The manager never got on the phone… just the young lady once more told to tell me the same thing. NOW… my party of 7 will be having dinner at the Grand Concourse.
1. If you are a manager of a restaurant and someone asks for your time in person or the phone, you give it. End of story, absolute turnoff. I will NEVER eat at this place due to the lack of respect for a diner.
2. In no way do I believe that the Hard Rock does not take reservations over the phone!
Did not even eat at this place and I know it’s not worth my time.

Came here on a beautiful evening, and it was lovely to sit outside and look out at the city’s skyline. The waitress was also very cheerful, though didn’t bring us silverware or napkins until we asked. There are very few vegetarian options (two sandwiches) and who knows if the veggie burgers were vegan or not. As it got dark, no lights came on either, so by the end of dinner, we were eating in the dark. It was a just-​okay experience for dinner.

The location of this Hard Rock was great — right next to the river with a huge Christmas tree out front. The best part was what I ordered: the local legendary. Wow! A huge cheese burger with onions and MASHED POTATOES! That’s right, mashed potatoes! It was amazing! And messy! The downside of this Hard Rock was the location we were in, we were put in the back where there were next to no music memorabilia and we could not see or hear the live music. It was crowded. The service was relatively good. I’d go again just to have that amazing burger!

Tradional american food, the service was good Our waiter was very friendly, the food came out pretty quick. They have a nice selection of cocktails, I had the strawberry basil mojito very good. Sometimes they have live music there, theres a nice outside area to eat where you can enjoy the fountain. Theres a gift shop in the front of the restaurant where you can shop all the hard rock mercandise.

The drinks are good but the service is way too bad. The bartender are rude and show an attitude without caring for your drink. I would give 5 start for food, but the service without attention is no good for the restaurant. The bartender name was Katie.

I don’t want to get off on a rant but:
I can remember in the ’90’s when going to a Hard Rock was actually cool.
Awesome memorabilia, prices that were steep but not over the top for acceptable food, a good mix of actual rock music and overall it was a decent experience. I don’t know what the hell happened but maybe ten or so years ago the bottom dropped out and quite honestly you’ve got to have multiple screws loose to actually enjoy eating here.
So we came two weeks ago and I got sucker punched by the lovely children who think the Hard Rock atmosphere is cool even though both really aren’t big fans of the food. Couple that will the stupid 15% off coupon you get from doing the Duck Tour next door and they got another sheeple in the door. (Baaaa)
The service was a miss as we waited a good ten plus minutes just to have our drink order taken and then another five to seven to have it brought to the table plus a good five to seven more to actually get to the ordering stage. So that makes around 20 – 25 minutes just to get the order placed. At Ruth’s Chris I get that because of the pomp and circumstance of the experience but at a Rock Hard? Really?
Speaking of the drinks, so after our server «M» drops off the drinks we immediately smell something coming from the kids cups and it’s not good. They ordered apple juice and the color was off, the look was slightly congealed and the taste well… let’s just say if you stuck a bottle of apple juice on the sidewalk in downtown Phoenix for a week and then served it you probably would get that level of a rotten-​spoiled smell. Of course «M» initially instead of apologizing for her/​the bartender’s screw up insisted that it was merely «a little salty.»
Salty my ass, the stuff was down right putrid and never should have been served.
That led into another lengthy search to see if any other juice could be found only in the end, Viola, more apple juice of the non-​skunked variety mysteriously appeared.
Eventually after about an hour the drinks and food finally hit the table.
Talking about the food here is mostly irrelevant as it’s grossly overpriced for what it is. I mean if you took off maybe 15−20% then things would be closer to fair but when you’re talking about $ 15 dollar salads & burgers there is nothing that a place like this can serve that’s going to give you any ROI in return for your dining dollars.
And as for the music, I’ve noticed the recent trend at other HRC locations in Baltimore, Orlando & Atlantic City where there’s not a whole lot of rock being played at the Hard Rock. Unless of course you count Blondie, Madonna, Gwen Stefani and Chic as rock. No thanks as I ain’t No Hollaback Girl.
Overall the food is probably a C+ or a B– but when you bring in an F for prices that brings the grade down closer to a D in that department and the service was a clear F for «M’s» brain dead attempt to serve rotten apple juice while spending more time calling it salty than actually apologizing/​fixing the problem/​greasing my palm for the long wait and inconvenience of the entire drink experience.
No Mas on any HRC in the future. Blech!

Like any Hard Rock Café, i go there to buy a souvenir glass or a t-​shirt and avoid the food.
Went there for a «business» dinner. Service is OK, food is like an average cafeteria: greasy, food quality is below average, portions are ok.
Free refills for sodas (and water).

An ok touristy place to eat in a touristy section of Pittsburgh.
If you are one of those people that has to have a Hard Rock Café T from every place you go then I guess this is the place for you, otherwise, the food is over-​priced for the quality. There is a nice view of the dancing fountain if you are sitting outside. There are much better restaurants in Pittsburgh where I would rather be.

Been to one, been to ‘em all. Other than the city on the merchandise, they’re all the same. This one is pretty small compared to most, but the outside seating area is great when its warm. I feel like the menu has gotten pretty small though. Maybe its just me? I don’t know if I’m imagining things but it just seems like there aren’t a lot of choices anymore. The food is decent, but I wish there were more entrée and salad options. Their salads are just boring! Grilled chicken Cobb, grilled chicken chopped, grilled chicken arugula and ceasar. That’s it! Anyway, just like any HRC, the atmosphere is cool and its a fun place, but I just wish there was more to be desired from the menu. That’s just me.

Hard Rock is a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner, especially when it’s nice out and you can eat outside. They also have an indoor patio so you can get views of the city while inside.
On Friday, I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with my 2 year old niece. For some reason, Hard Rock was my first choice (mostly because I planned on the incline & Mt Washington as well).
The hostess and server were so kind and sweet. They made sure my niece felt like a princess (I believe Jess was our server). We enjoyed dinner outside and loved the views of Pittsburgh. My niece also loved seeing the birds that stopped by for a visit near HRC :)
We shared the chicken club sandwich which comes with fries and it was yummy. The fries weren’t too hot (same as my last visit) but hey nothing’s perfect. We still enjoyed our meal & my niece enjoyed eating dinner in the big city. Jess even made sure to write a note on our bill to enjoy our afternoon.
*Thanks for a great memory with my shining star, HRC.

Das Café hat uns mal wieder richtig gut gefallen!!! Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr sehr freundlich und Serviceorientiert. Unser Kellner hat als M. Jackson gespielt wurde für uns einen Moonwalk hingelegt der seines Gleichen sucht. Das Essen hat hier die gewohnte HRC Qualität (was ja leider auch nicht selbstverständlich ist). Die Exponate im Restaurant sind mittelprächtig spannend. Was uns dann aber umgehauen hat war der «Musikbrunnen» oder die Rockwassersiele. Ein Farbenmeer und ein Wasserschauspiel sondergleichen. Ich weiß nicht wie lange ich da zugeschaut hab. Der Rock Shop war okay aber nichts Besonderes. Freundliche Mitarbeiter, Standartauswahl. Mein Tipp, wenn ihr das HRC besucht wartet auf die Dunkelheit und geht euch dann das rockige Wasserspiegel anschauen. Es lohnt sich.
