    As always everywhere my destination is looking for Hardrock around the world, and looking for merchandise such as hat and shirts. Can't wait to see other Hardrock cafe in around the world😀

    Very enjoyable meal. Located in the mall adjacent the Hard Rock Hotel. Nice menu, I had the Texan pork bbq sandwich and fries. Was very enjoyable. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. A nice piece of home for US travelers to Panama. The hotel is great too along with the conference center accommodations. Would eat there again.

    Good live music 🎶 with ribeye 🥩 steak made from heaven. Ribs are slowly cooked with a nice taste. Only concern is during reservations they should say they have live music and you can make a choice.

    We ordered nachos and 2 salads. The lettuce on the salad was completely wilted and soggy. Couldn't even take 2 bites of it because it had such a bitter taste. Service was very slow, even though we were only 1 of 3 small groups there.

    It's a good option in the region. Nice and friendly staff, good food and a good place. It was pretty much empty when I was there, so easy to get a place and order.

    Interior very well kept. The location is onside a mall so is extremely hard to get in from the road if you don't know the city or is your first time here. The food is on point. Taste on point Customer service is very good and polite. During the week is empty. We came on a Thursday around 2 and it was empty. Only 2 tables. There is no live band. Only by events randomly and you have to pay to come in. Alcohol with beverage is very good. The mall itself is extremely empty like if the mall is closing out.

    I am so sorry to say but this hard rock doesn’t have the same standards as the other ones. The mac n cheese was completely different I could barely eat it. The drinks were so bad I couldn’t finish them. It’s really sad cause it used to be my favorite restaurant in any country but this one here is just not good, which you can notice by the lack of customers and being completely empty. The staff is lovely though.

    I only went to the gift shop. Not friendly at all. Quite snappy. The most unfriendliest hard rock cafe gift shop that i have ever visited. And didn't even have a proper bag for the items u buy. All items was put in a browb doggy bag. I felt …More

    The restaurant is very easy to locate on the 2nd floor of Megapolis Mall. Walking in, you go through the Hard Rock Cafe gift shop first and you go inside the restaurant. There were lots of seats available at the time of my visit. Staff was very courteous and attentive. Ordered the Messi Burger and the Jumbo Combo. The meat on the Messi Burger was tender and juicy and the bun was pretty standard. The Jumbo Combo was a platter of different appetizers that included some bruschetta, wings (bbq or buffalo), onion rings, chicken tenders, and what seemed to me like a fried quesadilla cut up into pieces. Also ordered a mango juice that was acceptable in taste. Overall if you want to just eat some standard American food, this restaurant is a good option around this area of downtown Panama City.

    We’ve been to many Hard Rock Cafes and this one is definitely the most difficult to find. If you take an Uber to this location they will drop you off about a block away. Once you find the restaurant you’ll notice there is no entrance from the street. At the time we went the mall it’s in was closed and it’s not obvious that doors are still open to go upstairs. Sign on the mall door would be helpful. There were a couple of tables busy when we arrived and were informed that the kitchen would be closing early. That’s been happening since business is slower. Food was good, and drinks consistent with other locations. Our waiter was very nice. It’s a shame it’s inside such an obscure location otherwise they’d see a lot more foot traffic.

    Terrible food, good service

  • 4/5 Oscar B. 6 years ago on Google
    For me, attending the HRC locations whenever I'm around is almost a must, and Panama City wasn't going to be an exception. This one was closed for a while, last time I tried about three years ago and there was no expected re-opening date, good to find it in service now. My experience here, lunch time, was about as expected: great service, good food, price a little above fair given the food but fair considering here it includes the brand. Service here is fully bilingual, good for a place taking tourists as their main target. My food was the Local Original burger, HRC Panama's rendition of the Original HRC burger, here including mashed lentils, sliced plantains, Monterrey Jack cheese, red pepper and onion sauce, lettuce, tomato, and of course a juicy beef patty, all inside a traditional bun; good, tasty, a good mix of the American burger and local ingredients. Quick note: if you are a Hard Rock Rewards member, they have some trouble handling it, ask for the code and request for the visit track on the website

    Finding this restaurant can be a bit confusing as it not located in the Hard Rock hotel but across the way... over a bridge and hidden inside a mall! Even the signs that directed us inside the mall were vague so we definitely got in our exercise walking around searching for it. The service was good as everyone was fluent in english, our food was prepared quickly, and of course the music was awesome.

    Hard Rock Cafe Panama is within the Mall located on second floor. Plenty of open space with a large curved bar. Unfortunately at the moment of my visit they ran out of Draft Beer. I tried the Cesar salad with Grilled chicken and was plenty and delicious. My son tried the Grilled Salmon. Nice.

  • 3/5 The Salty T. 2 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere is very much lacking anything associated with the Hard Rock brand. Foos was ok nothing special which is the norm for Hard Rock. Service was little less than average. We were two of 6 people in the restaurant and all the staff was more interested in their phones. We had to call them over for service. Would not recommend 😕

  • 2/5 Keith A. 2 years ago on Google
    It probably has the most disappointing lack of rock and roll memorabilia of any one of these that I have been to. The place was deserted on a Friday at lunch time, and the whole mall around it seems to be a ghost town. If you're a fan of the hard Rock Cafe chain, as I am, and you simply want to check it out because you're in town, don't bother. Any other hard Rock Cafe you've ever been to is more interesting.

    30 mins to get water. Food order wasn't taken any more quickly. Very few people in restaurant and the wait staff seemed huddled around chatting.

  • 3/5 John D. 6 months ago on Google
    I had low expectations and they weren't met. The Bangkok shrimp were cold. The ribs were cold and required a knife and serious cutting. They were sent back and taken off the bill, earning a star. Service was good but I was pretty much the only table at 630pm on a Saturday night. I wondered why it was so empty and now I know.

  • 5/5 Leo W. 9 months ago on Google
    The smokehouse barbecue combo was amazing! Also, great and very attentive staff. Quite expensive compared to other restaurants in Panama, but worth it!

  • 5/5 Lorie D. 9 months ago on Google
    We were here on a Tues during rainy season so it was little quiet, but the service was excellent! Juan was efficient and super-friendly. The burgers were cooked perfectly, and tasted great. The Expresso Martini was right up there with one of the best I've ever had. Overall I recommend this place. We'll be bringing our visitors here when they come in to visit!

    We started with the wrong foot. Table next to us made a mess and dropped a glass nezt to me, no apologize, obviously. Staff cleaned up the area but NO apologize neither. Food was ok but We did not enjoy our visit.

  • 3/5 Tristan R. 1 year ago on Google

    Nice location, nice service, badly no draft beer (hope because it was Tuesday) as also no local beer (😔) available and the Messi burger in general was a bit disappointing as can seen in attached picture.

    Hard Rock Cafe is the best place to be this season. I was here. The services were wow! I enjoyed their meals. I regret not coming with my family. My next visit shall be with my family. They are customer friendly and made me feel comfortable. Thank you the management.

  • 5/5 Rana D. 1 year ago on Google
    This was such a cool find! We were recommended a different bar in this hotel but came across Balfes first. From the moment we walked in we knew it was going to be an awesome experience! Colin and Renato were the coolest. Very friendly and ready to engage in fun conversation. Their drinks are carefully crafted and their holiday menu is one not to miss! We sat at the bar, further in to avoid the chill when the door opened. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

    I only went to the gift shop. Not friendly at all. Quite snappy. The most unfriendliest hard rock cafe gift shop that i have ever visited. And didn't even have a proper bag for the items u buy. All items was put in a browb doggy bag. I felt items was way too exorbitant. Location wise, the mall is gloomy..and closes early but HRC giftshop opens till 930pm on its 2nd floor. . Easily mistaken with the hard rock hotel nearby. Quite confusing.

  • 1/5 Stephen D. 1 year ago on Google
    Hard to find, but once you do it's impossible to enter. You can see the sign and the TVs from the street. You can see the logos on the balcony Windows. There is a totally unlabeled hidden stairway that leads to a closed door that looks like it should take you the right way. The place is also backed onto a mall that closes early. So where is the entrance? They are never going to have any customers if people are giving up simply trying to find the entrance. At least put some signs up.

  • 4/5 Alvaro Tejada (. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly, I need to go once again. My last visit was a couple of weeks back and unfortunately I was not thrilled with it all. The last time I went since my last visit was probably in 2018, it had been a while. The pandemic hit 2 years later and the place got closed. I was so happy to know it re-opened and decided to go. But the burger I got was just ok, not mind blowing as I remember they were. I had the BBQ Bacon Burger, which definitely sounds appealing, and hey, we all know that you can never go wrong when there's bacon involved in a meal. Disappointingly, it was plain ok. The entree I had were some spicy shrimps, which were great, although I personally think they were too few for the price.

    Like in America you get added local taxes, about which the personal does not inform you! Big spenditure in restaurant, not any small gift or recgnozition First time even that a Hard Rock Cafe has not a single adult standard HRC T-Shirt; 4 sales people but very very small choice; big disappointment One of the worst HRC experience in my HRC visit history
