Hard Rock Cafe

This is by far the worst place I have eaten at. I think McDonald’s is a much better food and I do not like McDonald’s food.
Server was nice but the service was slow, buffalo wings were microwave cooked cold in center.
To make it less painful let’s say I do not recommend nor would I repeat.

Came here with a large party and they were accommodating. Everyone ordered different type of mixed fruity drinks that they offer that were all extremely good (try the pineapple or strawberry mojito). The food was extremely good. Had the tres fajitas that came with chicken, steak and shrimp. Next time would stick with the chicken and shrimp which were both very flavorful. The steak was a bit tough. They were accommodating to my allergy and gladly offered corn shells in place of flour shells. Service was great and for our waitress to handle a party of 11 plus 3 other tables at the same time, she did a great job. Would definitely return and if you are coming with a large party would recommend a reservation to cut down on wait times on busy days!

There was a moment, during my meal, that the video for Prince’s classic 1980s track Kiss came up on the television screens placed throughout the restaurant & many of the diners, myself included, simply stopped eating & watched, until the final notes played out.
Music, like good food, is a communal experience & whoever it was that thought it would be a good idea to combine the two was really on to something. While Nashville is known for country music & few songs in Prince’s catalog are in the country genre, no other guitar crackles with the same dry, tart twang like his, so it’s understandable that so many eyes shifted to the video when that memorable song came up in their rotation. It’s part of our musical DNA at this point. It’s familiar.
And I happen to appreciate the familiar. I’ve been to Hard Rock Cafes from NYC to San Francisco & all points in between. I’ve visited locations in Dublin & Paris. I go because I enjoy the music memorabilia on the walls, sure, but I also appreciate the consistency in quality & service that I’ve come to expect after so many visits.
At this location, I thought I’d try their take on a Nashville regional specialty– the «hot chicken sandwich,» & I was not disappointed. I was in a bit of a hurry with the Paul Simon concert looming, so I didn’t get to take a survey of what rock & roll items were on the wall, outside of a shovel used to plant a tree in honor of Ringo’s 72^nd birthday (I later went & found the actual tree in a park across from the Country Music Hall of Fame), I did make a point of visiting the Rock Shop. They have one inside the restaurant & a separate on in another building just steps away.
If you’re like me & a little more rock & roll than you are country, this is a great option for lunch, dinner, drinks, or just a good time in general. Fun & family friendly, it’s always reliable.

Alexis was great taking our order
With a cheerful smile and recommended the souvenir glass to take home — thanks I love cup collections and the food was good.

Food and service was fantastic. Steak was cooked perfectly and the nachos for an appetizer may have seriously been the best I have ever had. All of the other restaurants we tried were booked up and needed reservations. We were happy with only a 15 minute or so wait and then pleasantly surprised by the food. Good choice if you don’t have reservations at another local place.

Both brunch and dinner is awesome. Always a place to go. All of the foid with live music makes for an enjoyable time. The waffles are good and crispy, nothing better… and maple butter.

Food was good, service was ok, about average for a Hard Rock. Always a little too loud and crowded.

To start with it took us 20 minutes to be seated when there where plenty of table open. Second the burger was cold, Mac and cheese was bad. I went through my entire meal before our sever came back to the table. I hadn’t seen him since I ordered. Not good service.

The drinks were great but the food was cold when it arrived at the table aside from the onion rings.

Molly M waited on me. I explained I needed a HRC pin for my shadow box that would match the other pins. She went above and beyond to help me. After I signed my receipt, I gave her my pen in appreciation!!!

Burgers were great, sriracha mayo was amazing, the little guitar they served my two year olds fish sticks on was awesome and staff was super friendly. Appetizer was cold but I still enjoyed it. Food came out quick. Valet guy was incredibly nice, should have caught his name.

We had lunch here as we were passing through and the staff were extremely accommodating. We had a large party with a lot of kids in it and not only were they friendly but they were also extremely generous with my children. Great beer on tap made from a local brewery wish I could remember what it was called.

Nachos were great and beer made me happy… our server and new friend key, is awesome!!! Worth the visit especially to take a look at the memoribilia

Great place to people watch & rehydrate/​refuel.
Service was prompt & efficient. Can’t go wrong with fast food! Sit outside on a nice day or inside & watch the footy at the bar.

With a skeleton crew on for Thanksgiving, our waitress was working hard. She did a good job, considering. So did the kitchen. Food was out surprisingly fast, and we had no complaints. The menu seemed awfully limited and had no local feel. I had hoped to go to a non-​chain eatery, but many of them were closed for the day. Better planning, next time!

After finding out the Acme rooftop was closed we decided to go to this rooftop bar. Big Mistake! I asked the hostess if I could go to the rooftop, she said it was full. I asked if there was a wait, «Nah people just sit there forever.» Dumbfounded I asked if we could just go up and see if we could order a drink; «Sure.» Upstairs we meet the second host and he says the bar is full but there is a table. I was super excited… that is until I sat down. There seemed to be some tasty mason jar drinks on special that included the mason jar. We asked about them and our server answered «Well, I can get you the drink but not the mason jar. I’m sorry they’ve just been so popular.» Ok, perfect, I didn’t want the glass so I asked what was in one of drinks and the server said they were an old promotion so he forgot so he was going to ask the bartender. I asked what the new promotions were, he also didn’t know. He came back with the recipe of the mason jar drink but still didn’t know the new promotions. I had had it so I ordered a simple Tito’s with soda, lime and a splash of cran. He came back saying they were out of Tito’s, I ordered Ketel One and got no splash of cran. I drank, paid, tipped, left.

This was good, not great. The food and service was decent, but really expensive. Steak was prepared as ordered, but was too heavily seasoned.

The restaurant is extremely loud. Not family friendly at all, or even friendly at all if you want to have a conversation with the person you are dining with. The food is below average, nothing about our experience was enjoyable or memorable.

Place was half-​empty when we walked in, and we were told there’d be a 20 minute wait. Saw at least 2 managers or expediters just standing around, as well as 2 waiters who didn’t seem too busy. Maybe one of them could have waited on tables and cut down on that wait time… Cobb salad was only okay and half the cheese on the nachos wasn’t melted. Go to the Memphis location to eat and stop by here just to pick up your pins.

Blow away by the awesome service!!! On a whim, we decided to give Hard Rock a try. Having our 3 yr old is always tricky, and since we were surrounded by bars, we figured we better play it safe. So glad we did!!!
We were able to get a table right away. Our server, Morgan was right there to greet us and take out order. The atmosphere was fun. Music was great! It had our 3 yr old dancing. Will definitely go back on our next trip to Nashville!!!

Great experience here. Staff was responsive and helpful, and the stuff they offer kids to do is way more than just a few crayons and a piece of paper. We used our hard rock coloring book at many restaurants after this trip!
Food was good, drinks were amazing. A really nice place to stop in Nashville especially if you’re with kids and don’t want to bring them to the local honky tonks.

3 stars cause I enjoyed the rooftop outside patio view and live band. Outside patio gets a different menu verses dining inside you get a bit more option. Basic american food. It was okay. Our server was new and she didn’t know anything about the menu or if it was even on the menu. Our food took forever to come out. And we just ordered wings. They do have valet parking if your not wanting to look for parking.

It is a Hard Rock Café in another city. Good for Tourists looking for Nashville stuff in the gift shop. Nothing stands out that I have to say because I live in Nashville. The Hard Rock Café in Vegas a different story. I can get collectibles at Walmart in Nashville. so really the tourist location loses it luster here on me. Prices are a bit pricey for average chain food grub. If not a local, maybe stay away. Why pay for parking when you can get average food down the street for free parking. NOW this is NOT to say this is not a place to visit when you visiting Nashville. It has COOL stuff only Nashville will have. If I had someone come to visit and ask specifically about the Hard Rock, of course I would take them. Otherwise, not so much. Not against this place, just not for it as a local.

My review is based on the gift shop in front of the Hard Rock Café… the building is very small but stocked full of Hard Rock collectibles and shirts and all kinds of other souviners.
There is a section on the floor where it used to be the silver dollar saloon. There are several silver dollars in the floor. It really is cool to see it.
The staff is fun, friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended.

We made one last stop a Hard Rock Café before heading to the airport back to ny. Drinks, food, service was excellent ! Even better was the bartender Logan!!! We had such a fun time. Good send off!

Food and service is excellent, Rooftop seating was closed for dining which is the only spot really worth eating at as the layout is very odd.
Store staff was super helpful and friendly, it’s still a one visit stop for me… 4 stars

Typical. If you want the typical Hard Rock chain and to get away from Nashville, stop in here. You won’t even remember you are in the Music Capital.

«The Reverb Room» at the Hard Rock Café Nashville is one of the better rooms for music in the downtown area. «The Ledge» (the rooftop patio) is a great place for cocktails or muchies.
You might have to ask the hostess how to get up there, but Check it out!

Don’t Do It!
I have been to Hard Rock Café’s around the US in most major cities. This one is the worse.
There was a large party with at least 10 kids in it. Instead of seating them all together, the parents were seated in an elevated section near the door and their pre-​teen daughters were seated next to the kitchen. and our table.
Not only were they running around and overall barely supervised but the manager just walked back and forth as though it was no big deal. I love kids, but on a Sunday afternoon on Labor Day weekend, we just wanted a simple meal with a normal level of activity for a family resturant.
Lastly, our waiter put an asterisk on the bottom of the recipe… next too the 18% gratuity recommendation.
That gave us a good belly laugh!
As for the food. nothing special.
