One of the best HRC I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. They're always busy as hell, so don't be put out if the service is a bit slow. Friendly staff.
Jay BlessedNovember 29, 2014I had the BBQ Chicken plate - very tasty. The LI ice teas are worth the price! 😁 Tried this (dessert) warm alcoholic beverage and didn't like it. Other than that - cool fam experience.
Venny F. VenistineJuly 3, 2013Whatta magnificoooo...! HRC are always have an unique of american's style ether foods, design interior or atmosphere of.. How we dig so happiest here for WomanPrettyLunch.. .Whatta fun !
Yasaman MahdianJuly 21, 2019I don’t like the food here that much. Everything is calorie bomb! But the interior and unique collector pieces and lively vibe makes it worth a visit!
Mark BJune 29, 2015Great service and food. Next door to Ford's Theater so good stop while waiting for the tour. Also blocks from Smithsonian American Art Museum. Tex BBQ Pork sandwich tasty.
Felicia ThomasMay 31, 2016The watermelon Cooler was refreshing. The was delious and the service was great. My family and I didn't have to wait that long for a table.- Niels SwimbergheMay 10, 2015Great atmosphere, very friendly people, nice food, look out for a sing for burger event and get a free burger if you sing!
emiliano calosJanuary 13, 2015Nice staff and good food. If you ask, they will provide you with guitars so you can have a picture posing like a rockstar.
Hamit ŞekJuly 30, 2012I ate one of the best hamburgers in there. It is not for human, very big beef and delicious :)) absolutely have to try crème brûlée and california burger :)
TylerSeptember 23, 2013First time ever at a HRC. Our waiter found out & brought the DJ (goes by the name of "J") who took us on a very detailed tour! Came back to the table and our food showed up hot & ready! Awesome.
Jaim EdelsheinMarch 5, 2015Nice place for a few drinks! Pretty much the same as in any hard rock around the world but smaller
Jennifer Nohai-SeamanDecember 29, 2012Local legendary with sautéed apples and onions with provolone and a side of maple honey. Amazing!
Always ask what the local legendary is in every city. Unique flavor in each city!
ChadJuly 15, 2015Total tourist trap. Still, it's one of those places you can't resist the urge to cross off your "been there done that" list. So, you go and have a mediocre dining experience and buy a souvenir.
InternsROCK!May 23, 2011If you're an intern in D.C., get a wristband from The Washington Center and buy one entree & get 1 mini dessert free from June 10-19! Details: http://bit.ly/j2UsOZ
Oliver OberthürSeptember 24, 2016We were there 10.30 pm and all the lights were switched on for cleaning. Worst Hard Rock Cafe we've been in Europe and USA.
Trever LoyndFebruary 15, 2015The legendary burger is not all it's cracked up to be, very bland and the bun seemed stale. Very good service though.
Gwen Evans-WinstonApril 28, 2017Sever was slow and inattentive! Food was good but pricey for burger, fries, and beer!
Julie BathieSeptember 30, 2015Very average hard rock one of the worse that we have visited world wide ! Initial welcome non existent , waiter took 10 minutes to even come near our table ! Then our starter came with my main course
Paul Mackenzie RossNovember 1, 2010The "Local Legendary" here comes with pistachios, pineapple, bacon and wasabi mayo for the fries - give it a go.
Khaleelah GilcreastJuly 1, 2011Every time I go I have a great server who is extremely entertaining. Don't know if they mean to be but it makes me happy either way.
Mary StephensAugust 3, 2013Disaster in the rock shop. Guy messed up the register and while my cab is running he was more interested in dancing than fixing it.
Jenny ThomasSeptember 4, 2011They have a sign at front door that's says if you ck in on Facebook, you'll receive a discount. The server says it's not true. They do not offer any discounts. Sounds like false advertising!
Jennifer PattenJuly 7, 2012Awesome environment/mood/staff ... Shy away from nachos they don't have much to them.
AmberJuly 14, 2012Super busy and didn't get my food right! Way under cooked my "well done" burger. It could have moo'd, check your food before starting to eat it or the waitress leaves or you won't get anything else- KennyDecember 30, 2011Definitely get the local legendary burger, but do NOT use ketchup or mustard on it!
Martin KRFebruary 25, 2015AAA and ADAC members save 10% on food, non-alcoholic beverages and non-charity merchandise
Ligia AguilharMay 28, 2015Worst experience in a Hard Rock Café. Even though I am clearly not from the US and the police recommends travelers not to carry their passports, they did not allow me to drink with my Brazilian ID
- Always sit with the redhead with the beehive at the bar. Best bartender in the entire place
Steven LimitoneJanuary 11, 2012Another Pilsner for the collection. Always a great atmosphere. Try the Mac n Cheese
Serhii LutskoAugust 17, 2017There is a tradition where we buy a guitar from this franchise in every city but this one didn't have it :(
Josh MaxwellMarch 23, 2012This place is damn near empty and the music is jamming like I am at a sold out concert, sitting on the front row. 10pm
T LJanuary 5, 2016Well...it's not the next best thing and some waitress are rude with the costumer. If you 're having plans to eat sth there, that's ok.
