    Ive been to many Hard Rocks but this one was pretty incredible. The seating right next to the stage was very cool and the service was amazing. We had Emily as our server and she was everything you want in wait staff. Polite, sweet, personable and just all around professional. The salmon was perfectly cooked and everything we ate and drank was just top notch. Its smaller than most hard rocks but certainly worth the visit! Be sure to ask for Emily she was incredible and made the experience that much better

    This is my new favorite place!! It’s so big and so many things to do! My significant other treated me with this trip so it was a very nice surprise since I’ve never been. We gambled on the casino, went to Sugar factory, went to Council Oaks steak house and also went to the Rock Spa… all of this located in or connected to the Hard Rock Cafe… there are so many other places in here as well that I’ll come back to check out.

    First time visitor. Tried the hamburger original and it was fantastic. Best hamburger I've ever had. My wife and sister thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. The wait staff was terrific. Friendly, attentive and responsive.

    The large flagship restaurant in the casino offers ample and comfortable seating, good food in a casual atmosphere. The busy servers are friendly and responsive. Food service is reasonable, speedy, and nice. To escape the smokey casino request seating distant from entrance.

    We were at the casino to see Joan Jett and the Blackhearts perform that evening and are not big fans of gambling. So, the Hard Rock Cafe was a great escape from the noise and smoke of the casino. They had a live performer, who was very entertaining. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. The food was good and as always, the music memorabilia was amazing. We will be back next time an artist we love plays there.

    The setup for live shows inside is really great. The roommate very big maybe 8 or 900 people. It has bleacher seating in the back and standing room only on the floor.

    We were here for a concert. I liked the venue. The casino itself a little too much for Me. Loud, Busy, Crowded.

    The Hard Rock Cafe, located inside of the gorgeous Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, was a wonderful family night out and enjoyable meal. Their enormous menu offered multiple options for Vegetarians and meat eaters with appetizers, entrees, sandwiches, burgers, steaks, seafood, salads, soups, entrees and desserts. Our Order: I ordered the Caesar Salad with Parmesan crisps and shaved Parmesan cheese as well as the whipped mashed potatoes. The husband ordered the double Cheeseburger with Fries and an Espresso Martini. The kid ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Coleslaw, Fries and Beans. We highly recommend the food and enjoyed the atmosphere which is perfect for families, date night or a meal between gambling. Pros: Located inside of the beautiful and lively Casino, the Hard Rock Cafe is a fun Rock ‘n’ Roll music themed restaurant. Enjoy the oversized 360* bar, the expansive menu filled with American classics and burgers and surround yourself in the trendy background music, Rock themed memorabilia, neon signs and wall art. Food is served in both the dining area and at the bar, so come enjoy a meal alone or with a large group! Cons: The Hard Rock Cafe is a bit pricier than your average restaurant, so check the online menu before you arrive. Parking is difficult to find on the weekends and the hotel only valets cars from customer’s who are overnight hotel guests, so prepare to circle the parking lot looking for a place to park.

    Christmas is always a great time to visit the Hard Rock casino. The atmosphere is cheerful and inviting as well as exciting. I was able to get an extremely nice room for a week , at a reasonable price. I enjoyed myself to the fullest as always at this place, just notice the pool and lounge area, where I spent most of my time 😊 .

    The only downside to this casino was that there is smoking allowed inside..... but there's nothing that can be done about that, unfortunately. Still many options for food or drinks and an overall nice place to spend some time

    The room was amazing, had a nice balcony view of Bush Gardens, the Casino had a great atmosphere and also attended a concert in house. My only complaint is the show had poor audio quality with no range between the instruments and vocal.

    Large casino and hotel complex. Not too loud, some masks, some not. Nice crowd there. Seems like a class act to me. I had a Cuban sandwich for lunch...it was very good.

    Sad to say but experienced discrimination as soon as we entered. Not me, but my husband. Came here to surprise my mom for her birthday to the casino since she loves the slots. Didn't stay long because we kept being followed for some reason. We had no backpacks or big purses, weren't loud or anything to cause attention or be followed. Food was expensive as expected but wish it tasted better. Unfortunately we have a room booked in August for my mom, I hope it will be better.

    Every since they opened I've been coming here,their machines aren't tight, you do win,an see others winning 🎰 It's always a clean an happy environment to come to. I always feel safe. The vibe be wonderful 👍🏽👍🏽 weekend vibes with live bands are better than being at a night club. Come see for yourself you won't be disappointed none what so ever! Food is Great! Get a players card an use it at every visit, the comps are worth it...

    This was my first time here!! The service was quick and the food....it delivered like a Rock star!! I went with there legendary original cause ima burger guy and I wanted the Burger that started it all and Boy was it worth it especially for a another pattie!! 8 bucks is worth it! The fries were fresh and delicious!! . Next I was told by many to try there Salmon cause it's amazing!! Some have said it's the best Salmon! And it is!! It's different, it was soft,it was spicy with a little kick and was made fresh and just out the oven cooked to perfection! The mash potatoes were amazing by the way!. At the end I had the passion fruit Mai Tai! Which was strong and great my compliments to the chef and staff and atmosphere at the Hardrock!! Where your are treated as the Rock star as the Main event of the Night!! I'll be back to try the onion rings and Messi Chicken Sandwich!! It can be about 50 dollars plus for two people but it's worth it!! oh and they had a libe band playing!! HARDROCK CAFE TRULY DELIVERS LIKE A SOLD OUT CONCERT!!

    Wonderful spot for dinner! Love The walk to restaurant, includes so much history and memorabilia throughout casino. Smaller menu but delicious options. Foods always fresh and hot. Wait staff is super nice and accommodating when it comes to kids joining the tables! Live music on the weekends is awesome to watch. Location including bathrooms are very clean and organized. Great for small or large parties.

    Great night at the Hard Rock Venue Tampa for an acoustical night with Elle King, Chris Jensen, Jake Owen, Neon Union, and Cory Kent. I love the concerts/shows here as the concert hall is just the right size. Next up, Thomas Rhett! Dinner at Rise Restaurant was not as we had hoped for. The food was not that good, and service was just bad! That is why food and service get low ratings.

    Pool bar & grill at Hard Rock Cafe Casino Tampa Fl Pool bar and grill I have been to the Hard Rock Cafe Tampa several times. But this time we met up with a friend of my hubby’s. He was on the second floor by the pool???? We made our way to the 2nd floor and OMG!!! The atmosphere was chill. There were 2 pools, lounge chairs, cabana’s, live band and a bar and grill. The band played Caribbean music. They were called Impulse. The band plays 12 to 4 pm. They were great. Shout out to Derrick!! We did not eat but the food smelled and looked good. The drinks were great. I cannot complain. A new experience at a place I have been to many times. The cabana’s had chairs, couch, table and television. The band played Caribbean music. The pools were bug and spacious. Ok Hard Rock I see you!!! Price: about $16 per drink well worth it for the drinks. We got Miami vice (Pina colada), Long Island and old fashion. This is a great place for a date. We were there sunday about 2:pm.

    Great experience. Really liked the history and different memorabilia that's on display. Slots pay out as well as the card games. Drinks a little pricey but I'm used to free drinks in Vegas. All in all go for it!!@

    Never ever order a burger at this place. I saw a picture of their Messi Burger on the menu with an appetizing description. Two steak burger patties provolone cheese chorizo sausage caramelized onions and spicy sauce. How in the hell did someone working at this place think this is the burger I should have received?!?!

  • 5/5 Adam R. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a wonderful experience with the live music and great food. We had the smokehouse bbq combo which was just great in every sense to my taste buds. The steak salad was perfectly made to order, for appetizers we got one night bangkok shrimp and twisted Mac and cheese both were just amazing. I definitely will be back here again.

    As gold card members of hard rock casino, we tend to eat at the casino frequently. Tonight we decided to go to Hard Rock Cafe. Our 30 min wait turned into an hour. We ordered bang bang shrimp- they tasted like rubber. The manager had them made fresh and they came out with barely any sauce (refer to pic). Manager never came back to check to make sure everything was ok after they came out. My husband ordered a bbq bacon burger. There was no bbq sauce, a small handful of fries ($18). I ordered chicken tenders and fries ($18 as well). They were small and bland. This is fast food processed chicken instead of real chicken tenders. Very disappointing. Near impossible to get a refill. My husbands drink as well as my own stayed empty. When the waitress, Jamie, asked if there was anything else she could get us, I said a drink would be lovely. She said “WHATTTT?” And walked away. We won’t be back. Waste of money and time.

    Greeted by kind hosts. The server was quick to get our drink order and check in on our order. This is where. The kitchen has the timing so badly. The starters which were the wings and and shrimp should have came out together but at least hot. The wings came out piping hot which was amazing! Then way later the Messi burger with asparagus hold the fries and the shrimp came out cold? It wasn’t busy so I don’t know why any food was cold. But especially the shrimp that we were waiting on anyway. I don’t care the order just like the temperature to at least be hot. So we asked to send the shrimp back to reheat. The made a new order. So our entire entrees were completed and still waited on as a dessert I guess. Yes the appetizer eventually came out hot but after I was full and done eating. we still took care of the server and was still charged the full meal. It’s my birthday, not gonna complain I got a shrimp appetizer as my dessert.. I guess, was looking forward to the hot brownie tbh. Pretty decor, if you come on a busy night there is live music playing and a long wait. The bar tables are slot machine options only no poker.
