Hard Rock Cafe

Gluten free menu and dedicated fryer. Had the pulled pork (bbq sauce was even GF) and it was great. Felt good afterwards so I believe when they said they are conscientious. Only restaurant where the hostess actually knew about gluten free options. Had eaten at a hard rock hotel 3 years ago in San Antonio and had no luck.. so either things have improved tremendously or this location takes the extra initiative. Would go back!

They had a gluten free menu and took the request seriously. My coeliac daughter had a Cobb Salad which came with an allergy flag. They substituted pepita seeds for pumpkin seeds. She happily ate the food with no ill effects.

I had the opposite breakfast experience, the hostess suggested that the chef could make accommodation but the waitress talk to the kitchen and told me there was nothing I could eat there. I would have thought at least an omelet could have been made for me. Very disappointing

Celiac friendly?

No

Went for breakfast not expecting much. They have gluten free buns which I selected to use for the breakfast sandwich. The waitress explained that when they put something in as gluten free, it goes to a whole separate area of the kitchen. Their breakfast potatoes (“home fries”) are made in a separate fryer. I was so satisfied I couldn’t even finish my food! Would definitely go again. This celiac had no reactions.

Went here for lunch and had a wonderful experience. There isn't a gluten free menu but the server knew exactly what I could have. We had nachos, chicken fajitas and parmasean fries. When they brought our food to the table the server jokingly said, "I hand removed all the gluten for you." So I knew they got the memo on my meal needing to be gluten free. It was all delicious and I don't think I'll eat for the rest of the day I'm so full! No reaction at all.

I dread going to Vegas because it seems like it's impossible to find a safe place to eat. After stopping by many restaurants to see if they were ok to eat at, we went with Hard Rock Cafe. I was hesitant to eat there after reading some reviews, but they had a dedicated frier so we gave it a try. WE WERE SO HAPPY WE DID! We had a great overall experience. We sat outside with a great view of the strip, I ordered a smoothie that was AMAZING, and then proceeded to order a cheeseburger with a GF bun, and GF fries. Everything was so good! Our server was excellent, very knowledgeable and super friendly! And the best part? No reaction. This will be our go to place in Vegas now.

Side note: they did get rid of GF menu, not sure why, but server was able to point out what things were GF or could be.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good gf menu and seperate fryer for fries. They have fries specials (eg parmezan, chili or garlic fires), also gf. Very nice! Had the pulled pork on a gf bun, both pretty dry. Therefore only 4*. No reactions.

Yes

Chicken sandwich on gluten free bun was excellent but fries needed seasoning. Gluten free doesn’t mean it has to be bland.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Separate gluten free menu. I had the fajitas (no shells) with mashed potatoes. No reactions.

Just went here for lunch and it was very good! They had a gluten free menu and I order Pulled chicken on a gluten free bun. Staff was so nice and helpful! Will definitely go back!

Server said they had no gluten free options very resolutely. Then he mentioned they might have gluten free bread. They couldn't care less to accommodate, or try. Perhaps they have their food prepared elsewhere & they don't know the ingredients. Or Perhaps they just don't care. With their prices, you would expect otherwise. Planet Hollywood is much much better for service & gluten free options.

No

Server told me they had no gluten free menu. I was on vacation and trying to just not be a problem for the other people we were with so I asked for chicken sandwich with no bun, no sauces and no fries. She said we have a gluten free bun (which she didn't tell me in the beginning). So I said of course yes but then my food came out and I always ask to make sure. the server who brought us our food said it wasn't a gluten free bun and took it back. I should have not eaten the food when it came back out but I did and was incredibly sick that night. I am sure they just replaced the bun which of course cross contaminated everything on the plate. :( seems like Vegas is not very up to date on allergies like this and I went here because they were rated 4 stars. Most places we went following advice on here didn't know anything. I suggest bringing or buying your own food and eating in the hotel.

No

Not helpful at all. No special menu.

Server wasn't very knowledgable for what I could and couldn't have. Not many options. Was brought a salad with croutons initially but sent it back and had no problems. The steak I had was also very good. So it was overall good

Celiac friendly?

Yes

While the waiters were not knowledgeable they got the chef who was very knowledgeable about what I could have. Knows about cross contamination. Chef Jess even have me his card in case there were any problems. For a chicken salad. I have been to hard rocks across the country and have had similar experiences

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waiter was very nice and knowledgeable. They have a GF fryer and made us a GF Sunday for dessert with GF brownies!! Very delicious and wasn’t sick after.

During this time of Covid, it is nice to sit in a restaurant and eat! We were immediately approached by Sabrina who made sure all was safe and good for me. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and fries. As stated in a previous review, the bun did crumble, but it was good nonetheless. This is the second HRC I have eaten at...and both have been great.

Was confident with all the positive reviews I would be safe but more than 24 hours later and my stomach is still a disaster from their gluten free fries! Claimed to use a separate fryer but I’m a mess
