We had wings with hot sauce and diavolo burgers. Only minor issue was that all the food arrived together when we would have preferred the wings as a starter. Husband had a Hurricane and I had a zero proof cocktail. Bourbon St was a wild experience though!
Hard Rock Cafe - New OrleansResponded on 12 October 2026
Hi SAndra, Thanks for visiting! We’re glad you enjoyed the wings with hot sauce and the diablo burgers. It’s great the Hurricane, zero-proof cocktail, and Bourbon Street vibe made the night fun. I’m sorry the wings arrived with the rest of the meal instead of as a starter. We appreciate the feedback and hope to see you again soon.
