Hard Rock Cafe

Hard Rock Cafe Restaurant Review:

Hard Rock Cafe on the Vegas Strip is worth a visit for its collection of music memorabilia --- the walls are filled with platinum records, the guitars of famous rockers, performers’ outfits (Bob Dylan’s jacket, Amy Winehouse’s pink dress and Jimi Hendrix’s dragon shirt) and odd celebrity possessions, including a toaster once owned by Elton John. After perusing the “museum,” try to procure a seat on the outdoor patio, which offers an outstanding view of the Strip from its second story perch. Otherwise, head inside and grab any booth; they all offer TVs that allow guests to watch a constant stream of music videos while they dine. A worthy starter is the Southwest chicken flatbread with pico de gallo, roasted red pepper, avocado and spicy sauce. Sandwich options include the Texan, which is stuffed with pulled pork or chicken with chipotle BBQ sauce. A full breakfast menu offers unique items such as french toast dipped in cinnamon and vanilla cream, coated with corn flakes and topped with mixed berry compote. Meals can be complemented with alcohol-infused Twisted Shakes. One example is the Twist & Shout made with Bacardi Oakheart Spiced Rum, Guinness, Dekuyper Dark Crème de Cacao and vanilla ice cream. For a sweet but non-alcoholic finish, consider the home-style apple cobbler topped with walnuts and Ghirardelli caramel sauce.
