Hard Rock Cafe

Do they charge you to use the toilet as well?

 

[MENTAL PATIENT]

I'm really not sure about the size...just know that the prices start at around 350 for a veggie burger and go up from there to about 700 baht...I've been all over the world and have rolled with the best of them....Personally, when I go out to eat, I could care less about ambiance....I want to know how good the food is...even if its in a hole in the wall kind of place...The Hard Rock is a fancy chain restaurant...so what are you really paying for?...and how much can you dress up a burger plate to make it look like you should be paying through the nose...I guess thats up to each individual...I find that there are many good quality restaurants and drinking establishments in Patong that serve comparable dishes and drinks for more reasonable prices, and would rather spend my money at those places...You see one hard rock, the others aren't that much different...same stuff, different town

Any sign of FL's like in Bangkok or cute Japanese girl tourists....I'm just saying I probably wouldn't be heading there for the hamburgers...

 

[Chucky]

500 baht hamburgers all round then!

 

[Omar]

Since you mentioned it It makes me wonder....How would this burger have to be prepared and what would it have to taste like to get the "700 baht approval rating?"

 

[Natalie L]

That's a shame. I'm interested in the music they play and the crowd they attract. Seems like the majority here is making it a 'burger thread' comparing it to the rising costs in general.

 

[astrospacerich]

But surely the size and quality of meat must be relevant?? hence why I asked the question and didn't just say 700 baht for a burger is a lot, cos if it was large enough it could actually be good value couldn't it?

I also find personally I will pay a little more for setting or ambiance of a place against a hole in the wall restaurant, it adds value for me. I'm not saying I'd pay an awful lot more for HRC but it does have value in its decor and music etc.

 

[GET THEM OUT OF AZ]

actually i am one of those tourists that will pay the 500 baht just for convenience when by the pool
but i know what you mean

i like the BB pool though. decent prices, decent food

Sure theres expensive items on the menu, but a regular bacon cheeseburger (which is more than enough for me) with fries was 420baht... if you wanna be a fancy pants and spend an extra 300 baht for an onion ring on your sandwhich than thats your doing.

Still not cheap, but I havent had a burger that tastes like a burger in patong ever, for any less than that...
obviously soi sansabai late night being the exception to the rule.

Well I am not going to describe a 'good burger' all the usual, large, fresh, moist, proper beef.. Good crisp salad.. Molten cheese (used to get a blue cheese burger on nanai... mmm).. Good bun.. accompanied by generous salad, slaw and fries.. Ohh look I just did describe one..

My point is if they really do get it right, its easier to swallow (pun intended) if its just a a generic slap it together then its harder to see the value added.

 

[Zahra]

Ha ha ...Good Point...But I don't see the HR doing much to truly make a 700 baht burger worth 700baht...regardless...some people will go there and find it all worth it and some won't

 

[Amy S]

I'd pay 700 baht for a proper kebab, if it was truly like the UK. Still surprised no one has done it yet (properly, with lamb and Pita) they would make a killing.

From another forum>>>

We are a huge fan of hard rock and always think it makes a welcome change from local cuisine when away and loved the one in Sharm El Sheikh but sad to say that the new one in Patong was poor. No atmosphere, bland food, dry food, very very very expensive. A small glass of house wine, 1 small beer, onion rings, classic burger and chicken fajitas 1860bt (£37).

 

[kait]

and you didn't spend 1200 baht on a t-shirt???

 

[DIESEL]

Hear the same..my friend is in training now ready for the big opening 28th/29th

 

[Viperflash]

And still the oldest one is still alive:

 

[Jergar]

Aren't there copy ones for 200baht across the road in OTOP yet??!!

 

[beholdtheglory]

But would you if you were sober..
