GREAT EATS HAWAII: HARD ROCK CAFE

HARD ROCK CAFE

TUMON BAY, GUAM

I have not stepped foot in a Hard Rock Cafe for years but can remember the days when I went to every one possible to buy a t-shirt. Still have quite the collection gathering dust in my closet. On previous trips to Guam, I have avoided the Hard Rock. This trip I had a work associate from California who wanted to go there. We entered through the gift shop on the ground floor and then walked up steps to the dining room where we were greeted by a very friendly staff. We chose to sit on the balcony overlooking the main street. It was about 90 degrees and humid and we were the only people out there. Everyone else was sitting comfortably in the air conditioned main dining room. As we sat outside the main dining room began to fill up with mostly twenty something year old Japanese tourists. Turns out on this night there is an Elvis impersonator singing at 7:00. We ordered some cold drinks and some Chicken Wings. Half mild and half hot for me. The wings were large and meaty. Actually filled me up. We ordered a Full Rack of Memphis Style Ribs for around $18. Wow.....huge slab of beef that could have fed my entire family. The ribs were meaty too and covered in a rich tangy sauce. The Half BBQ Chicken was smothered in BBQ sauce and served with French Fries, Cole Slaw and BBQ Beans. Elvis was in the building and performed two short shows. Actually good lip syncing to some Elvis classics.
