I’ve visited the Pool Bar & Grill at the Hard Rock Casino on several different occasions, and it has consistently been excellent. Every time we come to the spa, this is our go-to spot for lunch ~ and I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience.

The food is always very fresh and surprisingly good. I’ve tried their salads, tacos, grouper sandwich, hamburgers, and wings, and everything has been consistently delicious. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not usually a “bar food” person, but this place is a solid five-star lunch spot that has never disappointed me.

The service is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. We usually go during the day while spending the entire day at the Rock Spa, and it’s never overly busy. We’ve never had to wait a long time for our food, which makes the experience even better.

I’m actually surprised more people don’t know about this place. You don’t have to be visiting the spa to eat here ~ anyone can walk into the casino and head straight to the Pool Bar & Grill.

I recommend for a relaxed, reliable, and consistently great lunch at the Hard Rock.

Fantastic spot to watch Sunday Football. Our server was AWESOME! Very polite, constantly checking on us and refills before we even had to ask. Chips with Guacamole 5*. Shrimp 5*. We will definitely be back!

Great vibes, love that it’s shaded and has great frozen drinks! I got the blueberry lemonade cocktail and it was so refreshing and did not taste like a cocktail. Emani our server was fantastic, she even helped me by letting me know the watermelon salad did not have greens, so I got the Asian chicken salad instead. My son got the bacon burger which he loved, the fries are really yummy (mom tax). We each got dessert, I got the key lime pie and he got a hagendaze ice cream bar. Overall a great stop in the Hardrock that won’t break the bank.

OMG hidden tampa gem. The best wings i have ever had. The burger was very good as well. You taste the beef pattie and all the condiments. Flavor abounds through out the whole meal. Also the lemon surge cocktail light on the simple syrup hit the spot. My serve Tina was great as well. I would give more star but not an option.

Really good burger! The service was great! The pool bar and grill had a wonderful view and ambiance. The margarita had a very generous amount of tequila, it really hit the spot.

I was stopped by a hostess telling me that I have to spend $40 per person to sit at a table .she instantly past judgement on me and my cousin because we was black .I saw her let several white people in without telling them they would have to pay $40 per person. I come here all the time to gamble and I never had this problem….when I ask to see where it says $40 per person, she showed me a piece of cardboard saying minimum but nothing that says you must spend $40 person. I never been so hurt in my life and something must be done about max the hostess.

I have such mixed feelings about the pool bar and grill. The atmosphere is great. The server seemed nice enough. But the drinks are very weak. Our party enjoyed the food. But the meatless options are extremely limited, and apparently modifications are not really allowed. Plus, you’re prohibited from bringing food from any other restaurant within the complex, even though it’s all Hard Rock.

Now for the details…

First off, the vibe is amazing. It’s fun and lively, and really feels like you’re on a vacation. It can be hot even in the shade, but you’re enjoying it so much, the heat doesn’t bother you.

This is the second time I’ve been here, and both times, the cocktails are extremely weak. Put it this way: After taking a sip of my daiquiri, my mom asked how come I ordered a non-alcoholic cocktail. The last time, my uncle sent all of our drinks back because they really skimped on the liqueurs. It’s a surprising contrast to the bartenders at any of the bars inside the casino that I’ve tried. Those cocktails are almost too strong!

Now for the food. Both my aunt and mom loved the chicken sandwich and the waffle fries. When they asked what can be substituted for ham, they were advised no substitutions were allowed – but they were able to get extra onions instead.

My meal ended up being some waffle fries that I picked off of my mom’s plate. I do not eat meat, and was advised that the veggie burger was the Impossible burger, which happens to be the one veggie patty that I really dislike (just personal preference). That’s the only vegetarian main on the menu. I asked if the chicken quesadilla can be modified, but was advised that they can omit the chicken (which would make it a just cheese quesadilla). Considering that one of the salads has black beans and grilled corn, I’m not sure why that could not be put on a quesadilla instead.

It’s a cool place to hang out, sure. But it’s still within the hospitality sector and customer service should be taken more seriously. If both a steakhouse as well as another bar and grill are willing to modify a quesadilla for a meatless customer, I do not see why a poolside grill is so adamant against changes, especially when they have the ingredients on hand and it takes very little effort to make a customer happy.

Furthermore, for the prices charged, the mixed drinks should be made properly, especially since it is a bar. Management should ensure that all of the bartenders know how to mix a proper cocktail. After all, it’s part of a casino, not Disney!

Service at the family pool on 6/3/25, was awful…for me.
It took over an hour to get food. When it came 1 order was cold, the other was incorrect. A manager corrected it for me. The server then brought me someone else’s bill and credit card.
After about 4 hours at the pool I was never brought my bill. I had to ask for manager again, for the bill. He apologized and offered me a comp beverage from the bar (lemondrop was delicious). Finally got the matter settled and food charged to my room.
