Review by crazy_bartender on November 18, 2004

Been to Hard Rock Cafes in Europe, US, Asia and
I thought this particular HRC in DC was the worst.
Pretentious friendliness (server sat next to you while taking your orders, sat next to you while you were eating). Prices were very cheap, ranging between $ 8-9 dollars for a burger,
but man ....
it was the WORST burger I've ever tasted in my life!
Dry, overcooked, tasteless ... IT'S REVOLTING !!!
Service was very slow in all aspects.
Small cafe compared to other HRCs.
No live stage,
No TV for the outside world,
about 50 TVs all over the place but they all play MTV-style rock music (yikes).
Drinks were ok, not great.
(can I have a hurricane without buying the glass, please ? )...
Kids were running around while you were eating,
Im talking about 15-20 kids.
Once is enough for me, I will NEVER bring my European friends to DC-HRC.
It's embarassing.
For burgers, I would rather bring them to Fuddruckers while enjoying our music thru walkman or whatever ...
