Good location, good food and great staff! - We were on vacation and stopped in for lunch after touring Ford's theater. We ate there back in 2006 and was happy to see it still there! Food was really good and the staff top notch. A very pleasant experience.

Good place for a beer with friendly service - As with most hard rock locations, this place has great memorabilia, and is a great location for a beer and enjoying the location. The staff were friendly and the service was good

Great food and drink! - Staff were friendly and food was great. Not as exciting as other hard rock cafes as they don’t have as much memorabilia, but we still had a great time and the food was excellent!

Right across the street from Ford Theater - This is the smallest Hard Rock Cafe we have ever been to. It didn't have a lot of memorabilia. The tables were small downstairs. Our waitress Brianna was amazing. Cobb salad, fajitas, flatbread pizza and chicken sandwich were all good. Good lunch stop right across the street from Ford Theater tour.

Hard Rock Cafe DC - Any visit to a Hard Rock Café is a good dining experience. They served up with hurricane glasses for the drinks. There is the signature logo sign at the stage area as with other Hard Rock Cafés around the world. The gift shop had a good selection of T-shirts, pins and refrigerator magnets

Ok - Hard rock not very big but cute. The "worst" in the USA, not so much for the place but for the not exactly courteous staff. You eat well as in all hard rock cafes

Bad service - Restaurant staff was not welcoming from we entered the building, the lady at front asked me many time how many were on the purchased item and kept staring at us,I explained my nephew was a baby and wasn't a part of the 5 people and she kept looking at me, I explained many times it was for 5 people and she kept repeating it, they kept looking at myself and my family up and down, very scrutinizing, we felt very uncomfortable. We asked what was covered under the package bought and it was just annoyance given in response as if we should know what was covered and the desert provided was not nice at all it was just a oversweet piece of plain brownie slice with chocolate syrup dashed on top, you weren't even given a choice of desert. The provided meals were all burgers/sandwiches or salad very basic menu and not everyone eats burgers so not accommodating at all. Staff asked me to show her the voucher many times and even asked me to email a copy to her then came back and said didnt receive the email and took my phone in the back with the scan code and took a while then brought my phone back to me. I got a receipt then the same staff member came back for the receipt stating she wanted a copy of it, I felt like I was begging for something because I purchased a package item on discount instead of feeling welcomed/ accommodated like a paying customer should feel. I would never return to this location for Hard Rock ever and I wouldn't recommend it either. Long and short Viator should discontinue service with Hard Rock Cafe in Washington its not a pleasant visit and it worth paying the price for what's offered.

Awful. Arrived, then left immediately. - Front of house staff were cold, unfriendly, and borderline offensive with her attitude. Not a word was spoken by her, her actions and mannerisms said it all. We were not welcome.

Hard Knocks/ no service. - Booked reservation online. Arrived let hostess know we were there. She said yes had reservation. Waited over 20 min seeing several walk in /sign in and be seating. Checked the app said 1st in line. Would hit refresh continued to be first in line. When after standing for 20 min asked how much longer. Reservation time came and went. Was told you are first in line when some tables are cleared. Kept seating tables of 2-3 people. Ended up leaving
