As I live all the way up north in sunny Sunderland I sadly don't have a HardRockCafe anywhere near me, but like to go when I can if I'm in London or Edinburgh. This review is mainly based on the London Hyde Park one, the original HardRockCafe in the world.
This HardRockCafe is located very near to Hyde Park Corner Tube station and so very easy to access. On arriving you see the imposing front of the building, complete with the HardRock motto of Love All, Serve All. Out the front is a seating area. When you get there just head up the red carpet, where you will find one of the massive team of staff waiting to seat you.
I've been on a couple of occasions to the London HardrockCafe, and how long you have to wait for a table largely depends when you go. On our most recent visit we were shown straight to a table as it was mid ...
Advantages: Quick service, wide variety of foods, family friendly, delicious meals. Disadvantages: Expensive, quite noisy
Three years ago, we stayed in New York for around 5 months. During our time here, we came across various different restaurants and cafe's and sampled many culinary delights, ranging from crab to the usual cheeseburgers and chips. One restaurant we were planning on dining out in was the HardRockCafe, however the night we had planned to go, on arriving we were sent away due to the fact we would have to weight 1 hour fifteen minutes to get a table.

Advantages: Hard Rock, Great Food & Drink, Video's: Discount if you know how. Disadvantages: Can be very busy (But JUMP the QUEUE)
a vegetarian they have a limited choice but it is possible to eat!
Staff: The service can vary depending on how busy they are.
Ambience: It gets very busy at all sorts of times. The throng of Americans & tourists shows its a MUST for them, hence the BIG queues sometimes. (See below to JUMP the QUEUE).
Shop: Right opposite the cafe is their shop selling various items of clothing, shot glasses & Pin Badges. Have a close look at them. There is a big market for buying and selling the badges. Many badges are limited edition at each cafe. Your £8 badge today could be double in a years time!
They also have the Vault! No its not full of money, but is full of pop memento's. This is viewable by a guided tour, and its FREE. Yes, its worth while going into after eating.
VITAL STATISTICS: Do you visit HardRocks elsewhere? If you're a regular ...
