Another Super fantastic visit and dinner with live entertainment at the Hard Rock Cafe' Foxwoods! Hostess Instantly brought us down and was seated and was very busy there! Our host James Brown was and is always absolutely amazing and very attentive checking on us. He's the Macho Man of the Hard Rock Cafe' The Man of the hour The Man with the Power To sweet to be Sour! Food was great as usual. I got the Twisted Mac Chicken & Cheese with some Electric Blues drinks and everything was oh so good! Wife got the Pepperoni Flatbread Espresso Martini! She loves it here! Always a great time here and always feel welcomed! Time before I got the New York Strip Steak cooked Medium Rare and was excellent! Never a bad visit.Food is always Great and always a fun time here that's what keeps us coming back! Been coming here since 2011. Cannot wait for our next visit!
The food was perfect and fresh. Service is also warm and customer oriented. What attracted me was their decorations. Allah time hit rock personality was there. I felt like I went to a museum of music. Loved that part
On vacation with family and we came here day one for lunch and came back everyday for the next 3 days. The food was great the overall energy/vibe was nice. However what really kept bringing us back was the bartender Cendy. The drinks were great, the service was great, she just worked like a well oiled machine it was great to see. Not very often do you get service like that highly recommend going Sunday and Mondays especially during appy hour 3-430. Sit at the bar and enjoy great service!
Tasha was absolutely incredible, if I could give her 6 stars for service I would. She made our experience one to remember and her food recommendations were incredible! Will definitely be coming back!!
Tashia was absolutely AMAZING! We weren’t sure where to eat in the casino but we’re glad we went with Hard Rock as she made our experience every bit worthwhile! The food was great and the service was top tier. Super fast, very accommodating, personable, great communication and people skills. She made us feel so welcomed within 2 minutes of sitting down! Keep in mind, she was also training Nelson (who was also very courteous) all while staying attentive and making us feel like the only customers there. Keep being amazingggg !
Went here for dinner before a concert. Originally had a reservation for 6, but ended up just being 4 of us. Our server James asked if we minded moving to a 4 top table because we were sat for the original 6. It was no problem at all, he cleaned off a table for 4 for us right next to where our original table was. Food and drinks were great, service was great, would definitely come back!
Had an absolute blast eating at the bar! The atmosphere was 10/10 with great entertainment that kept the energy high all night. A massive shoutout to Michelle—she was phenomenal! She makes a killer drink and her service is top-tier; she really made the experience memorable. As for the food? The chicken sandwich is to die for. Seriously, if you’re on the fence, just order it. Crispy, flavorful, and easily one of the best I’ve had. Great drinks, great music, and even better people. We’ll definitely be back!
First off I would like to say thank you so much to the wait staff you took such good care of us. we came in on Monday 2/23, which was the day after the blizzard and the Hard Rock Cafe was one of the few restaurants that were open. there was very few waiters which makes sense because of the storm. but even the few of them they were so helpful, fast, and made sure we had what we needed. I got the chicken fajitas, and my grandmother got the salmon which were both so good and exceeded our expectations. and not to forget the huge brownie sundae which was huge and so good. i would definitely recommend if you are staying at foxwoods or visiting. i would definitely come here and we can’t wait to come back! Thank you again to the Wait Staff!!!
Got seated as soon as we got here and ordered quick. Staff were super nice and professional, plus everything was clean. Food was delicious and not horribly expensive like some places in the plaza. I highly recommend!!! 5☆!!!!!
The food was absolutely delicious! The staff was friendly and courteous! The food came quickly! The atmosphere was fantastic! The tasty brownie dessert was incredible! Great couples night out!
