While I often steer clear of reviewing Hard Rock Cafe locations - considering their adherence to a consistent standard which usually guarantees an experience ranging from good to exemplary - my recent encounters at their Nashville branch compel me to make an exception. Nestled amidst the bustling Broadway Street, which boasts a plethora of dining options, this establishment has quickly become our go-to spot. In a landscape where the dining spectrum can range from stellar to subpar, this Hard Rock Cafe has proven itself as a reliable oasis. Every dish we've sampled has not only met but frequently surpassed our culinary expectations. Service-wise, they've been nothing short of prompt and attentive. As for the live music, Nashville's rich tapestry of talent means that it's easy to be discerning. While the performance during our initial visit wasn't quite to my taste, our subsequent experience was redeemed by a remarkably talented young performer. It's refreshing to have a dependable choice amidst the cacophony of Broadway's offerings.

We loved the fact there was Valet parking because I can't walk far. When we got there they were packed. We tried making a reservation beforehand but they only rake reservations online, not over the phone. We were offered seating on the rooftop, which we happily accepted. There were a few tables with people but most tables had left over dishes that weren't cleared. We waited a good 10 -15 minutes for a table to be cleared. Everything took a long time, but the good thing is we weren't in a hurry. Food was delicious, server was polite & engaging, and the view was amazing. Definitely recommend but make reservations, give yourself time, and use the valet service.

Definitely recommend Valet parking, especially for handicap persons, since parking in Nashville has become increasingly difficult. There are parking garages, but it's quite a walk.

I had wanted to visit a Hard Rock Cafe my whole life, finally was able to go for lunch with co-workers in Nashville. The atmosphere was really cool and we had good service. I ordered the Catfish plate and it was alright. The fries were ok, was really hoping the fries would have knocked my socks off, but they didn’t. We went for lunch on a Tuesday, so it wasn’t crowded at 12pm, so we were glad about that. Others had hamburgers and seemed to be happy with their lunch choice. I wanted a t-shirt and luckily there was plenty to choose from. They also have a little store attached to the parking lot that has more apparel and kids sizes. Definitely worth checking out this Hard Rock Cafe if you’re in Nashville. It is wheel chair accessible, but no automatic door open. The apparel store has signage showing that wheel chair access is on the left side of the building.

This is one of the premier dining and drinking establishments on Nashville's lively Broadway. Consistently, the dishes were prepared with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully. During peak hours, particularly on weekends, advance reservations are usually required. However, on our Monday visit, we simply walked in without prior arrangements.

Giving only a 3 star for the food. My salmon was pretty good, but for $27 I would have really loved to have eaten my broccoli as well. Unfortunately it was a chunk of basically Raw broccoli and barely warm. I make far better than what I received and it had bad spots on it. I tried telling my waitress, showing her but she could not hear me due to the Live music, which I didn't press on the matter. Not impressed..

I think our server was new, because he seemed really nervous, and we almost got our drinks spilled on us when he poured because of his reach. He was nice though. Our food was delicious. We all ate everything. The restaurant was clean and well lit with lots of cool musical memorabilia typical of all Hardrock cafes. I would definitely visit again next time in Nashville.

Great food and great service. The Messi Chicken sandwich was delicious and the mushroom Swiss burger was great. The fries were perfectly seasoned and the macaroni and cheese may have been the best I have ever had. The real showstopper was the apple cobbler though! It was cinnamon-y and gooey and topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with caramel. Oh yum!

We went there for a company function. The music was incredible. The food was delicious! The service was pretty darn good considering how many people were there. The view from the balcony was great! I can’t wait to go back! I highly recommend the Nashville Hard Rock Cafe.

Service was great and our drinks were delicious! However, all of our burgers were WAY over cooked, the sliders were so bad that we had to send them back for new ones. I hope it was just an off day because the Hard Rock chain is usually one of my favorites!

We enjoyed our meal, drinks, and the live music. Food was great and the drinks came with a souvenir glass for extra $. But it wasn’t much more to keep the glass. The service was great, our waiter was awesome. They also have valet parking. More

The place was ok. Food was hot to order but options were limited. Famous fajitas looked and tasted basic. The grilled chicken wasn't even fully cut up. The fajitas only came with what you see in the pictures for $21.99. Mexican restaurants

I was in my favorite Hard Rock Cafe and I had a great experience . This time I was able to enjoy the terrace , the weather was perfect , we were served by Kristen waitress and Melissa in the store . The food was also very good , the music

4/18/2023: We stopped in for a midday cocktail after our double decker city bus tour. Our bartender was terrific. He was originally from Vegas. I don’t recall his name. He made a great Bloody Mary and was personable with conversation. The

Classic Hard Rock atmosphere with different memorabilia throughout the restaurant. Food was prepared to order and was good (party had the sliders to start, a burger, a chicken sandwich, and a pulled pork sandwich for entrees, and finished

We’re not from Nashville, but we went to eat on Thursday and I ended up leaving my license like a doofy! Anyway, not only was the food good, which we got the steak nachos and shrimp apps, service was fantastic, but they were also so nice

Decided to eat at the Hard Rock as the food is normally very good. Ordered the Nachos as a stater which were really good but they forgot the sour cream. We had wings and burgers. Ordered the wings extra crispy unfortunately they arrived

Okay so the service was not that great, we received the wrong appetizers meant for the table behind us and we expected drinks first before our meal. But to be fair it was dinnertime and it was busy. Once our waitress understood we were

I usually like Hard Rock, but this place just wasn’t right. It wasn’t crowded; it was a week night, but our server just couldn’t remember that we were there. He was super friendly, just too high to be helpful. Rock on, Nashville. More

Had dinner at this Hard Rock because we were excited to finally eat at one, especially on our first trip to Nashville. Disappointing all around. $94 for a burger, fries, mediocre macaroni, over

Stopped in here for lunch.. my partner has a restricted diet. The chef came out and personally took care of our needs... great service
