Hard Rock Cafe Cayman Islands

Frommer's Review

In terms of the dollar amount of business it generates, this restaurant blows every other eatery in George Town way out of the water. Most of the restaurant's business is conducted at lunchtime, when long lines of hungry cruise-ship passengers are handled efficiently, and vast quantities of party-colored drinks, commemorative T-shirts, and American-derived comfort food are sold at speeds and quantities that would make any restaurant deeply envious. On the street level, you'll find a faux-Victorian bar, a T-shirt boutique, and a waiting area for diners. The dining room lies at the top of a wide staircase on the building's second floor. You'll spot framed photographs of Mick Jagger and Bob Marley, outfits worn by Madonna and Buddy Holly, and more. Suspended from the ceiling, just above the stairwell that leads up to the dining room, is part of a 1959 pink Cadillac.

The most popular drink is the Hurricane, made from three kinds of rum and three kinds of fruit juice. Menu items include burgers, Reuben sandwiches, meal-size salads, steaks, pastas, Pig Sandwiches (barbecued pork with french fries), fish and chips, and a particularly comforting version of meatloaf. Evenings here, after the departure of the cruise ships, are much less crowded than lunchtime.
