My husband and I had an amazing time there. The food was great. We had lamb chops and a fillet which were cooked to perfection! At some point we didn't know who our waiter was because everyone checked on us (which we loved), honestly the service was great! And the music was hi early just a cherry on top. Can't wait for our next visit there

Went on Valentine's day for dinner with my partner and we were so let down by the service and the food wasn't great either. We walked in and the lady who gave us a table looked unhappy, it wasn't a warm welcome at all. We saw a gentleman and asked to move tables to one of the booths and heard another lady asking "who's gonna serve them if they sit there?"
The gent then took over and started serving us. However it took about 40min from the time we got the menu to the time we were asked what we'd like to drink. He would be gone for very long before returning to our table.
When we finally got the food, we were so hungry that we just dug in even though the food wasn't that great. My partners food was actually better. I had a salad which was a big let down... It was a steak salad, but the meat was so hard, I was never asked how I'd like it done so I guess the chef assumed "hard u0026 was chewy" was the way. The salad was made from wilted inceberg lettuce and baby spinach only, no other form of salad leaves. That wouldn't have been too big of a problem had they been fresh and not wilted. The dressing was tasty but the salad was swimming in it. It's almost like a full cup of dressing was put in the salad and I only saw it as I was eating. I don't even wanna mention the onion rings #sigh. Normally I would have informed the waiter about the food but I was very hungry, I hadn't eating because I was saving my appetite for Valentine's dinner, and it had already taken almost 1h30min to get food. The staff may have been overwhelmed by the V-Day crowd but it's no excuse for bad service. There was no communication about delays and the food wasn't worth the wait... The nice thing was getting a red rose before leaving. But otherwise, it's 1 out of 5 from me and my partner.

OK the service was OK. Did not like the long island cocktail it was a bit out of the standard that we used to which made it bad. The food was OK but a lot of places can compete with it. The environment was nice and the dj played well. So I'll give it a 3 for now till the next visit where I'll order differently

The iconic Hard Rock Cafe Johannesburg is situated on the Nelson Mandela square inside the Sandton City Mall. I will always remember my visit of this place! It was a very late evening and they were already about to close when I came there. But the staff was so nice and friendly and quickly served me a very delicious cobb salad and a glass of South African cider. A waiter also suggested me to draw up a Hard Rock Rewards loyalty card and I'm very grateful for that, didn't know about that card before. After a while all the waiters started to put in order the cafe and wash the floor and at the same time all together they were singing a traditional South African song called Shosholoza that means "go forward" and is often even referred to as South Africa's second national anthem. That moment is stuck in my mind forever. After I finished eating my salad, the waiters gave me a small tour of the cafe and we even took some pictures together on the stage of the Hard Rock Cafe. This place is highly recommended to visit!

Such a nice vibe with beautiful outdoor seating. Great music, nice food u0026 the bartender Lucky made me a wonderful margarita, and he also helped me charge my phone at the bar. Definitely a spot I would come back to.
