Hard Rock Cafe

Edit: We ended up eating here 3 times!! Evrry time the staff were amazing and went to confirm with the kitchen items in our order. Always our back up when hunger and anxiety were getting high.

Initially when we ask, the gentleman at the door was not helpful, went upstairs for a soviner and a drink, and luckily asked again, and the waitress was Amazing. She said they had a separate GF menu and cooked things separate and with differnt tongs, she even said we could speak with the manager!

We ordered (coeliac and dairy free) and Rod came our with our food, and additional salad dressing I could have as well.! Great meal!

Only point was that there are no prices on the GF menu.... but hey, if they can feed us safely right!. but prices would be nice.

I was nervous about eating here after reading mixed reviews regarding dedicated fryer. Nonetheless, I went for dinner here. I asked the waiter, he said the fries were in seperate fryer. Then I asked the lady that brought the food out, and she went and checked with kitchen and said they were in a seperate fryer. I didn't get sick. Based on below reviews it sounds like they might not always have dedicated fryer so I would confirm if you go. Food was ok

We have someone with celiac disease in our family. The restaurant was able to accommodate with a lettuce wrapped hamburger with cheese. There were quite a few gf burgers. She was able to have fries and a milkshake. Service was really good and we would recommend.

Just had a perfectly gluten-free dinner there last night. They have a separate gluten-free menu. Had a very delicious bowl, but they also make burgers etc. Make sure to let your waiter know that you are celiac when ordering :)

They do not have a dedicated dryer and the server was reluctant to let me know that, saying the fries are gf. But with a few questions we determined that they use the same fryer for breaded items and fries. So I ordered salad with my burger on a gf bun. The sale came with croutons and the server did take it back and bring a new one. I survived but would not call this celiac safe and won’t return.

Had the southwest chicken bowl and gluten free fries. Both were delicious. It was great to have French fries. The salad was delicious as well. Lots of different greens (kale,spinach, romaine) and quinoa. It was very good. The fries were great too. We sat at the bar and the bartender was great. She even double checked with the chef or manager (someone via walkie talkie) that the salad was naturally gluten free.

The staff was very serious about gluten contamination and asked if I was celiac. They stated it would take longer which I was great with. The food was so good and I didn’t get sick. The ambiance, decor and music was fantastic. I was reluctant going since it’s a chain and, well, we are in Hawaii, but I am so glad we did.

We were a little hesitant about coming here due to the mixed reviews, however, it turned out to be a great experience. When we asked about GF, the waiter instantly asked if it was for a severe allergy and did a great job explaining everything. He told us there is a prep area and separate fryer for the fries. It tasted great and no issues. We were very happy.

I ordered here twice. The first time I ate in the restaurant, and the second time I ordered takeout. One of the burgers were gluten free, and the other one was not because my brother wanted one. We opened the bag and one of the boxes said gluten free so I started eating that one, but I soon realized that the bun was different, and my brothers was the same as last time. I got glutened, and my entire vacation was ruined.

Everyone in these reviews said they have gluten free fries so I came. The waiter said they are not gluten free. I went up and asked if they were gluten free or not AGAIN because everyone on this app said they were. I said “are they in a separate fryer” and he said “not today”. Don’t bet on this place to have gluten free fries. Definitely CALL ahead to double check if they are using a segregated fryer that day. They need to stay consistent. I would recommend saying explicitly you have a allergy (obviously celiac isn’t an allergy but it’s just easier to say allergy!). Many of these reviews concern me because I’m sure the fryer was not always dedicated each day these people went since it was not the day I went. I was really upset about this since it’s so hard to find gluten free fries and all of the reviews confirmed there were gf fries here. Also, to make matters worse my burger was burnt. However, the gluten feee bun did not fall apart like they usually do which was probably the only good aspect of this meal. Waiter was really weird with me when I went up to him to confirm again they were not gluten free. He forgot my Mayo and charged my boyfriend for the entire tables bill even though we split the check. I would recommend going somewhere else!

I honestly never thought I would go to a chain/theme restaurant on my trip to Hawaii (or anywhere really!) because it's just not my preference, BUT finding gluten free food here has been challenging!

Based on reviews this felt like the safest place for a burger.

The burger was delicious and the bun was tasty. They didn't ask me if I wanted it grilled on a separate surface, but I had no reaction and it's been 5 days. I feel this is a safe option.

This was the best restaurant I’ve ever been to ever! Our server was amazing and I had the best gluten free burger of my life! The fries were cooked in a separate fryer and they even had a HUGE gluten free brownie sundae. I cant wait to go back because it was truly an incredible experience

Celiac friendly?

The highlight of our visit (other than the dedicated fryer for fries) was when we ordered from the GF menu and the waitress asked if it was an intolerance or celiac. She explained that for celiac, they take extra precautions in the kitchen. The manager brought my son’s celiac meal separately and everyone was happy to answer our questions. The GF buns were some of the best I have had.

I used this app to find a restaurant that was Celiac-friendly in Waikiki and could accommodate a part for 14 people. Hard Rock Cafe was great! Even with the large amount of gluten-filled orders others purchased, I never once encountered cross-contamination.
