Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a brilliant experience visiting as a family with our son who has multiple food allergies. The attention to detail when taking the allergy order was one of the best we’ve ever had. The order was taken by the manager who talked my son...through his options & reassured us everything would be double checked in the kitchen, where all allergy orders are prepared in a separate area. Our server was also fully aware of the allergy, as he double checked the allergens & told us the order would come out with a different coloured flag (purple). This was all done with a minimal amount of fuss & didn’t make my son feel inconspicuous. To top it off all our food was delicious, served with a smile in great surroundings….. a brilliant experience. Thanks Hard Rock Cafe for being so inclusive.More

Not often I have a rant. And I’m not a tight arse by any stretch of the imagination. But adding a 10% service charge on a bill is taking the absolute p”@£ Hard Rock Cafe Manchester your calculator really needs new batteries. The bill came...to £183.56, 10% is not £22. Taking the 10% before discounts is a little bit of a penny pinching exercise. If I get good service Ill leave a tip, it’s normally a couple of quid. For someone to bring a plate of food from a kitchen to a table. It’s hardly rocket science or brain surgery, your staff are not saving lives or fighting wars. Why do you need me to subsidise their wages when you have to pay your staff at least minimum wage. I’m sure as a group, there is enough profit to pay them more. The hidden cost of a service charge leaves a bitter taste after a great meal, great cocktails and great service. Speaking to a member of staff, their reply was, many places are doing it. So why follow suit, many places serve crap food, would you follow that? I often seek out hard rock cafes in holiday destinations and have eaten and bought merch in many of them. Unfortunately this has soured that, I’ll be steering clear now. A word to all visiting Hard Rock Cafe. Check the bill. You can refuse the service extortion charge. Takes the p@&£ nearly as much as the ULEZ.More

At the Hard Rock Cafe you always know what standard of food you're going to get and what the ambiance will be like. The service is usually good and on this occasion at Manchester I have to say that it was truly excellent. The staff...tend to be friendly however this time they were absolutely incredible. Several of them took the time to chat and when my server, Bex, went on her break she took the time to let me know she was going and who would be taking over for a while. Service excellence! I had a plate of nachos for my main, followed by a small sundae. I was happy. Thank you for getting this so right, Manchester.More
