Hard Rock Cafe ??? is it worth it?

We ate there in July while visiting the parks. My DD (15) was in a mood and really making everyone else miserable. We are all rock fans and DS (13) and DD (15) play guitar and bass. Anyway everyone's nerves were getting a little frayed and we decided to eat lunch at HRC. My DD's attitude changed as soon as we got inside. All 3 kids were just so fascinated with the memrobilia and atmosphere. The food in my opinion is typical of most chains like TGIF, Chillis etc. some things are good some are okay. The price is high but that's typical of all touristy places. The atmosphere is great it was nice and cool inside my husband and I enjoyed a drink, the kids thought the place was great and to me it was well worth it!

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned joining HRC's "All Access" club - I believe you can do it at any restaurant or online. The cost is $24.99 and is well worth it. You get:
a HRC drawstring backpack
3 or 4 HRC pins
$20 credit on your card for your next purchase
best of all - front of the line access when you show your card at any HRC - no matter how long the line is, you get seated within a few minutes!
Every time you use your card to eat or make a purchase, you get a point for every dollar you spend. When you reach 200 points, you get another $20 credit. You also get a $10 on your birthday! So - they pay you for purchasing this wonderful card!! You do not need to pay to renew - simply use your card at least once a year!

We had a party of 12 at the San Antonio HRC during a Spurs championship game. The wait was 2 hours, but our group was seated in less than 10 minutes!!

Our 3 boys (16, 12 and 10) love the atmosphere and we try to hit a HRC when we are in a new city. If they're happy, we're happy!
