I’ve eaten at a Hard Rock Cafe before, a long while back, and since have always been extremely hesitant to give Hard Rock Cafe a nod. Known primarily as a tourist restaurant, I’d always had the inclination that the food would be sub-par because it was just a major trap where tourists can get a T-Shirt and Shot Glasses that say you were in Hollywood, Chicago, San Antonio, etc.
Putting these thoughts aside, I decided to check out Hard Rock Cafe – San Antonio. I was looking for a decent meal at a reasonable price; you know, the type of restaurants that have a variety on their menu and that typically have the same price range of restaurants like Chili’s, Applebee’s, Hooter’s, etc.
Hard Rock Cafe was just like the aforementioned restaurants. But, I thought I would note that I was impressed with a specific item on their menu, the Creole Chicken Sandwich. I didn’t know what to expect. Actually, I expected some sort of gimmicky, blackened chicken burger, but what came out was actually pretty good. It had a creole sauce that contained chunks of veggies and andouille sausage. The combination of the sauce, andouille and blackened chicken was unexpected. It was a really good sandwich and certainly very different than what any of the other burger places on the Riverwalk offer.
Now that they’ve hooked me in a little bit, you might find me here on occasion, even if I don’t ever buy a Hard Rock Cafe T-Shirt. Perhaps I’ll try something else next time, but I know there’s always the different, tasty, not-so-expensive, Creole Chicken Sandwich at the Hard Rock Cafe.
