Hard Rock Cafe

Hard Rock Cafe Chicago located at 63 W Ontario St, Chicago, IL 60654 is a fantastic Hard Rock!! Clean, friendly employees and management really cares about the quality of the customer’s experience. I got their cheeseburger and it was cooked perfectly, the Onion rings delicious, and the (heated up!) BBQ sauce that comes with the Onion Rings is a taste treat. The memorabilia on the walls is awesome, from Guitars used by various Superstars to other items from Bands. Really cool layout of memories. Quite varied menu, but not so large to intimidate or that they can’t make the food freshly. The merchandise store was also great. My server Quan and Manager Emily were tremendous. I’d come here daily during my 3 day Chicago stay, but I want to try a few other places too. This one can be said to be a “tourist trap”, but go ahead and trap me - well taken!!! Oh / and upstairs in the corner there aren’t speakers, so the volume is not loud for those who want to easily talk and not be at normal Rock level. A calm 80 decibel max. The place ROCKS!!

Needed a place to grab a bite after reservations to resturants on the river fell through. We walked in and were seated very quickly. Our waiter was great- very friendly and on top of things. The food was good, we had the steak and cheeseburger with a side salad. All tasted really good and we devoured them. We had a few drinks- the hurricane, tropical margarita, and some electric blues. The hurricane was just ok, a little strong and the tropical margarita was overwhelmingly coconut flavored but the electric blues' tasted awesome! I would really recommend one of those. I liked the live music going on after we came in and was happy that it was audible but not so overwhelmingly loud that you could t have a conversation. My only quibble was it took quite a while to get our food but it was a bit busy at the time so I can understand. Our total came out to 137 which isn't horrible considering we ordered 4 alcoholic drinks, a steak, a salad, and a burger, and we're in Chicago. The dining room was pretty cool too- lots of music memorabilia to look at! All in all it was a pretty good experience and we had a great dinner.

Easy to find. Parking available, the staff is very friendly. Good options in the clothing store. Live music is availble during weekdays. Several options of food to try. Good cocktails as well. Several tables. Amazing decor with facts and info about musicians and bands. Good option to have lunch or dinner.
