Hard Rock Café has established restaurants across the globe and more than 40 restaurants in America, but only the Hawaii locations—Honolulu and Maui—specialize in a fresh-fish menu.
There are four entrées on the fresh-fish menu: fish tacos, the fajita-style ahi (tuna), the ahi tuna sandwich and, of course, the fresh catch of the day. Our favorites? The fish tacos and the fajita-style ahi, which was served on a hot, sizzling platter. We also sampled the grilled Mediterranean shrimp linguine, and the chicken tenders with french fries from the kids’ menu.
The fish tacos were flavorful and delicious. The grilled fish was served in two warm flour tortillas and shredded cabbage, along with ample fillings, including cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole chiptole ranch dressing and a fresh lemon.
“The T-shirts cannot be sold online,” says Jill Gilboy, Hard Rock Café’s sales and marketing manager. “That’s what makes it special. You can only buy city-specific T-shirts in the store. However, you can buy non-city specific tees online.”

Insider’s tip: If you’re coming to Oahu this summer, look for Hard Rock Café in Waikiki. The Honolulu location will move from its current location across from the Hawaii Convention Center to 280 Beach Walk. It’ll be the first restaurant in Waikiki to have a “green” certification for using recycled building materials.
The two-story Waikiki location will have live entertainment a retail store featuring Hawaii-specific merchandise, including pins and T-shirts. For more information on the restaurant’s menu and entertainment schedule, click here.
