    Really enjoyed the food. I love all the decor and reading on the items on the wall. I have a pretty good collection of Hard Rock Pins and was able to add Denver's to it. I don't remember her name but our server was awesome. She was patient with our picky eaters and made it a great experience for us all.

    Went for my birthday yesterday and my husband and I were freezing the whole time because they seated us at the closest table to the door, and both of our burgers were bloody raw patty meat. The server was nice but was very busy to check on how the food was. The fries and the dessert were the best part of the dinner.

    Great ambiance, great food, great music and great service. I loved every second of it. Hard Rock is just not your typical restaurant, they offer so much more than food and that’s why I make it a habit of visiting every single one close to where I am. I love going through their memorabilia and see their collection. The staff were the most polite people I’ve ever interacted with, very friendly and super helpful. I had a Hard Rock t-shirt so they gave me 10% off my t-shirt purchase which was very nice of them. My experience here was nothing short of great and would totally recommend this to anyone.

    I don't understand what all the fuss is about with Hard Rock Cafes. That was my first and last time going here. The food was mediocre at best, service was what you'd expect. Apart from the "theme" I feel like every other bar around would do everything better than this place. There was a large group about 20 people came in, staff set up a long table for them, they sat down and then left a few minutes later. I felt bad that they bothered with the staff to set up that long table but I can't help but feel that I should've done that too. I could've gotten much better food elsewhere, which would be a low bar.

    If you’ve been to one Hard Rock you’ve pretty well been to them all. Standard Americana food. I got their Legendary burger with fries. My wife got their cheesecake and a Hurricane. The burger was good, though there are far more toppings than there is meat, and despite having bacon on it it needed salt for some flavor. Fries were perfect. My wife reported that both the drink and the cheesecake were good. So solid if uninspired Americana, like all Hard Rocks.

    This was the first time I had ever gone to a Hard Rock Cafe. I loved it! The atmosphere is great! Getting to go around & take a look at their memorabilia is something. The staff is fun & friendly. They will take care of you & make sure you have a good time. If you haven't gone, I highly recommend it.

    The Hard Rock Cafe in Denver was great. Good food and an even better atmosphere. The staff was super nice, but the best part was definitely seeing all the items from famous rock bands. I love bands like Fleetwood Mac and Rush, so I had a great time.

    great food, great atmosphere, and great service. the hard rock has managed to make a busy restaurant still feel intimate, all while serving up mouth watering bites and playing classic hits. my impossible burger was flavorful and the fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. my boyfriend enjoyed his mac, chicken, and cheese (especially the garlic bread). we also had a side of caesar salad, and both enjoyed it.

    A great hard rock experience. The staff were super awesome and friendly. They have some cool memorabilia and the staff is proud to mention it. The food was your normal hard rock fare.

    I don’t always visit a Hard Rock in every city as I think they are some what cliche and over priced but we happened here for dinner and I didn’t hate it. The best part was our waiter. She was so so amazing and accommodating and helpful. Food was decent, better then I thought it would be! Still a pricy place to eat and their alcoholic drinks were sky high pricing, so we skipped those. Overall decent meal if absolutely necessary.

    We spent an afternoon with our family and our father's 75th birthday. He has visited the Hard Rock Cafe in multiple cities outside of Colorado. He wanted to visit the one in his backyard. The staff was exceptional in service. The food was incredible! Our father had a bit of an issue with his steak and the chef came out to speak to him. Although the Hard Rock Cafe is a worldwide chain, we experienced the absolute best service of any restaurant. We have visited many high end restaurants and this one certainly delivered on food and service. The restaurant is clean and inviting. It provides an elevator for those not able to take the stairs. They are LGTBQ+ friendly. The 16th street mall in Denver is going through significant construction and it is difficult to find parking and access to the restaurant. Once you are able to get into the restaurant, you will have an incredible experience!

    Lez was phenomenal with taking care of my food allergies. I told them that I had a soy allergy. The environment is very laid back and unique.

    It was a Friday and on Friday’s I celebrate #franchisefridays. Today, I had the calling to try Hard Rock Cafe. Was it the best place I’ve ever been? No. Was it a lot of fun until the band started playing? Yes (No knock on the band, it was just way too loud) Bathroom mirrors were clean, great place to snap a selfie. Bartenders were friendly and finally, they had DMB memorabilia, so it was a great time.

    Hard Rock is very consistently fun all across North America. Always good food, so I like to go with the local selections to mix it up. I wasn't disappointed with the grilled lamb chops.

    It was alright. Experience, it was not what I was expecting, but at the same time, I expected more. It seems like money can be easily wasted or disappear. Merch was 50 percent off, but everything, including food, was $200.00. I would like to admit at least go there before it's gone for the experience, but be expected to pay a lot of money as well.

    Great people work here! The food was decent but the people and the atmosphere was great! They were super nice and willing to accommodate and it was great! The wings and onion rings were fire!!!

The burgers at the Hard Rock Cafe are exceptional, with generous portions of juicy beef served on a soft bun and topped with all of your favorite toppings. The hand-breaded onion rings, which are a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant, are just great! In addition to the delicious food, the service at the Hard Rock Cafe on 16th Street is also top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, funny and knowledgeable about the menu, making sure that each diner's needs are met and their dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. Overall, the Hard Rock Cafe is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and delicious dining experience. With its extensive menu, lively atmosphere, and excellent service, it is sure to be a hit with both locals and visitors alike.

    Busy and delicious as one expects from a Hard Rock. I had a small issue with my order, and not only was it corrected immediately, they brought a brownie/Ice-cream dessert onto our table on the house. Staff was amazing and don't forget to go check out the gifted Acid. Lol

    It's been a while since i went to a Hard Rock Cafe, but no matter how long it has been since the last visit, it always feels good to go to HRC for a meal. Went as a party of two on a Sunday evening and was seated without any wait. Friendly and attentive service, good food with big portions, and not-too-crazy prices make this place a good best for a meal and time of the day. Had the new Messi (like "messy") Burger - not bad. Good music and the decor of the restaurant is like walking into some kind of a music Hall of Fame - fun to see and look around. This location has a private function from on the second level that overlooks the 16th Street Mall. Parking can be a bit of a chore, due to restaurant's location.

    Just went today with the kids. Never been, always wanted to. I was shocked at the normal prices. Food was great. I had the fajitas. Wish I could have got a photo of the steak salad, looked gooooood. I gave it 5 stars becuase the price, food and waitress was great. Obvious the atmosphere Is awesome, although the kids didnt even know any of celebreties. 😂

    My family and I ate at Hard Rock Denver tonight and the service was beyond outstanding! Our three year old had a wonderful time (as did my husband and I) and everyone was so accommodating! We loved that our host opened with some fun facts about this spot, which I know is pretty standard for all Hard Rocks, but it was awesome to hear these facts relayed by someone who seemed genuinely interested in telling them! Our server was spectacular - so responsive and attentive! Initially, my husband and I weren’t so sure this would be the best spot for our high spirited little one but we were amazed by the kid-friendliness of this place! If you’re looking for great food PLUS phenomenal service, look no further than this Hard Rock! Thank you, Denver Hard Rock, for providing us Georgians with such a memorable experience!

    I have to say for my first time being in this place I give it a 10/10! I met up with a high school friend and we enjoyed the food, the live music, and the server was everything!!! I wish I could've gotten his name. He was extremely friendly, kind, and hilarious! Definitely going back one of these days😁
