Not wanting to argue with a pregnant woman in the Las Vegas heat, we all agreed.

The type of food served is the traditional, good ol' American food. Burgers, BBQ, steak, meatloaf, Philly cheesesteaks, grilled chicken, chicken pot pie, country fried steak, and too many more to list. They do serve a few vegetarian selections as well. I choose the honey roasted turkey club which was more than I bargained for! It was served with a generous helping of piping hot fries and a pickle. The sandwich was thick with fresh turkey, more slices of bacon than I have ever had on a club. Alcoholic beverages are served and a few specialty non-alcohol beverages along with sodas. I choose the non-alcoholic beverage called the Boulevard Cruiser which was orange, pineapple, and cranberry juices mixed with grenadine and soda. It was refreshing and a nice change of pace. We found our food to be hot, fresh, and served quickly. The staff was very jovial and answered all our questions and explained in detail the many attractions peppered throughout the dining area. There is a photographer that will come by to take your photo of your group or you can opt to take a special one of yourself on a Harley.

The entrance to the cafe is decorated in diner-style motif with a giant replica Harley sticking out over the door. The inside of the cafe is decorated with a chain USA flag covering the entire wall. But that's not all. Also enhancing the uniqueness of this cafe are the famous Harleys from celebrities such as Elvis, Billy Joel, and Ann Margaret. Adorning the walls, you will find display frames of autographs from Peter Fonda or Bon Jovi. As if that isn't enough, the most exceptional highlight of the visit is the Harley Bike conveyor. This chain pulls Harleys around the store above your head as you dine. A bit nerve-wracking but still a really awesome sight! The conveyor circulates through all three levels of the cafe including the gift shop located outside the cafe to your left.

As I mentioned in the above paragraph, there is a gift shop located out the main entrance and to your left. In here, you will find coffee cups, caps, shirts, steins, shot glasses, all at reasonable prices. Tip: Keep your receipt from your meal and you will receive 10% off of your purchase.
All in all, I would eat here again not just for the food but for the atmosphere, too. I would recommend this restaurant to groups, families, and couples. A menu and fascinating facts about the cafe is available at www.harley-davidsoncafe.com. Close

Harley Davidson Café. On the strip. It has interesting displays of vintage motorcycles all through the restaurant. Food is good but a little pricey with kids (also not a lot of room if you have strollers). Usually very busy so expect a wait.

Best of IgoUgo I’m not a biker or a particular fan of biker regalia, but my cousin is, and he was so excited when he saw the Harley-Davidson café.

"Let’s try here" he pleaded, "it looks as good as anywhere." So in we go–I’m not proud, I’ll eat anywhere. But inside it’s not "anywhere"–it’s not the cheap hangout that I’d always associated with bikers, but an up-market establishment serving quality American fast-food with a twist.

But don’t confuse this place with "just somewhere to eat," as it’s verging on a living museum. Other than the usual wall plaques, photographs, and its homage to celebrities who happen to have sat on or near a Harley-Davidson, it mimics the environment of the Hard Rock Café. The music was loud enough to assault the eardrums of a "non-biker," but possibly not able to compete with the roar of an over-revved bike on an open road. But then I spotted a reference to "Easy Rider," possibly one of my favourite soundtracks of all time, and I succumbed.

I remembered by father’s love of his motorbike and suggested to my cousin that it was an early Harley (not sure if it was, but it made for a good story, and he was suitably impressed). Now I could relax and take in the ambiance. I no longer found the music too loud–I was becoming a bike fanatic. I observed a massive conveyor belt that runs through the length and height of the café. Strapped to this beast of a belt were seven of the latest models of Harley-Davidson motorcycles that were viewable from almost every nook and cranny in the place. They were in pristine condition, and even though I couldn’t enthuse about the engine, I did recognise them as fine mechanical pieces almost resembling works of art.

Talking of pieces of artwork, there are dozens of intricately painted "gas tanks" displayed throughout the café, all signed by a celebrity from the rock or film world. Some of them were amazingly beautiful and worth looking at in detail. Hanging from the ceiling is the world’s heaviest American flag. The staff claims that it weighs over 7 tons, and it’s made from tens of thousand of chain links. That’s bikers for you!

But wait a minute, we were hungry – we came in here to eat! There are a couple of dozen beers to choose from (now there’s a serious choice to begin with!) and a really extensive menu, from large juicy steaks to "grown-up sandwiches," with french fries, fajitas, pies packed with meat, pizzas, and chicken wings. In short, whatever you want is here, and the quality and the quantity is spot on. If you fancy a gooey desert (if you’ve got space), they only "do" large portions. Sharing a main course and a pudding means that you can enjoy it all without feeling "stuffed".

Don’t be shy, give it a whirl–this restaurant is entertaining and does its job.

The Harley Davidson is one of those "Hard Rock" type specialty diners. The food was ok, but you are paying to look at a bunch of cool motorcycles go by on a conveyor.

This is a solid, fairly inexpensive restaurant with a good selection for picky eaters. It is located right on the strip near the MGM Grand and Aladdin Casino. My friend and I shared a large tossed salad (8.95) and Chicken Parmesan (8.95). The salad ...Read more
