Where To Eat Near T-Mobile Park & Lumen Field

"Derby is a very sporty place to have a meal—it doubles as a car club (as evidenced by the back room full of expensive automobiles). The menu has semi-upscale gastropub-style things, like poutine with smoked brisket and red eye gravy, Italian dishes like burrata and fresh pasta, and one of the city's best BLT. Plenty of booths make this a great spot for a group." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

Where To Eat & Drink In Sodo

"Derby is a car club that also happens to serve good food. You do need to be a member of the car club to valet your Porsche in the adjoining showroom or use the private game room, but anyone can order a round of beers and some classy pub food in the restaurant. Get the smoked brisket poutine, or the BLT stuffed with avocado and some very serious candied bacon." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

Restaurants That Are Extremely Close To Light Rail Stops For When You’ve Had Enough Of The Rain

"Sodo Station Just a brisk five-minute walk around the corner from the Sodo station is Derby, a restaurant/car club hybrid smack in the middle of an otherwise very quiet, industrial-looking neighborhood. You need to be a member of the car club to valet-park your Porsche in the adjoining showroom or use the private game room - but anyone, Porsche owner or not, can order a round of beers and some elevated pub food in the restaurant. Get some smoked brisket poutine with red eye gravy, or a BLT sandwich with avocado, extremely thick candied bacon, and garlic aioli." - aimee rizzo

20 Restaurants With Easy Parking - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Derby is an upscale sports bar inside The Shop, which is a place of worship for car and motorcycle enthusiasts. In other words, this restaurant respects the fact that you drove here. Park in the lot, step inside, and check out the room full of Porsches that aren’t yours. Then, eat some brisket poutine, BLTs, and soft pretzels without worrying about paying the meter." - Aimee Rizzo

What a cool place. Came here with some friends for dinner on a Tuesday. Great atmosphere and really great food. Service was super attentive and nice and they make a great dirty martini. I got the cobb salad which was fantastic and my friends got fish and chips and thenpasta which the bith really enjoyed. Parking right out front. Now I just need a cool car.

Absolutely astonished when I first walked in. They’ve got an outside seating which is amazing, a space to sit and chat with sofas and small tables, and ofc main restaurant and bar. Went with a buddy and we both ordered the Derby Burger with Bad ass bacon. Safe to say we will definitely be coming back, the burger was delicious and I’ve never had bacon like they make here. Our waitress was super attentive and staff overall was kind and friendly. The public viewing area of the cars is great. They also offer tours, they show you around the shop and of course the vehicles. It was a unique experience.

It smells like the inside of a garage when you walk in (motor oil), but the smell dissipates as you stay longer. Drinks were strong, food was good. They give tours of the cars if you pay but they have a public viewing area for free

Great service and Atmosphere. Car Garage type setup with all sorts of sports, super, muscle and restored old cars. They offer a few types of memberships along with storage, and also sell vehicles here. Highly recommend! Tours can be had if available!

This place is the coolest spot in Seattle! They offered affordable parking and a shuttle bus to T-Mobile mark. The BLTA was probably the best BLT I’ve had in my life. The toasted marshmallow espresso martini was amazing. They feature local beers on tap, local artists on the walls, great service, and amazing food. There is even a membership style club for car enthusiasts to gain access to members only events, access to car lifts and a detail shop, car storage, and so much more! I was thoroughly impressed with this place!! It’s sooo cool! They also have outdoor seating for those warmer days!

Derby is an American-style restaurant with a unique and exciting concept—it combines great food with a garage featuring high-end and classic cars. The atmosphere is fun and distinctive, making it a great spot for car enthusiasts or anyone looking for a fresh dining experience. The food itself was enjoyable. Both the burger and chicken sandwich were delicious, with the flavors hitting just the right notes. Unfortunately, the fries were a major downside. They were so drenched in oil that I’m surprised Congress hasn’t issued a declaration of invasion over them! The garage adds a special charm to Derby, but there’s a slight catch. You can only view the vehicles from a small area at a distance unless you book a tour that’s offered on the weekends for $10. While this isn’t a dealbreaker, it does detract from the overall experience for anyone visiting during the week or hoping to get up close to the cars. Our server was friendly and made the experience pleasant, which helped balance out the small downsides. I’d definitely recommend visiting Derby, especially on the weekend to fully enjoy the car tours. If you’re a fan of good food and classic cars, this place is worth checking out!

We recently had the good fortune of having a family brunch at Derby Restaurant. It was one of the only places where we could make reservations for a party of 13 that offered a broad selection of menu items for both adults and children. My immediate family is local, but we were meeting out-of-town family that were disembarking from a cruise and heading to the airport later that evening. First, the wait staff was excellent. Our server was kind, patient, and didn’t rush us. He provided excellent service, making sure each individual was given time and accurate info to make their selection. After we ate, he made sure we were comfortable until everyone was ready to leave. The menu offered something for everyone. We loved their use of local ingredients. Feedback on the breakfast tacos was especially positive. The breakout favorite was the French toast – it was heavenly! Finally, I have to say the atmosphere was distinctive and entertaining at the same time. Everyone (adults & kids) commented on the vintage car collection. For those who haven’t seen it, it’s truly unique! The expanded dining with doors open to the outside made it feel spacious but cozy at the same time. I can’t wait to go back again!!

Great Place for Gear-heads. An amazing collection of cars and bikes. Food would have been amazing if the restaurant was open. Sadly no heads up was given online regarding the private event. The long trip down from Singapore was worth it though, for the cars. Kind gentleman at the counter offered a free tour to make up for the inconvenience. Will be back to try the food.

10/10 recommend a visit here! We paid to take the full tour for just $15. (I apologize for murdering the spelling on her name) Igioza at the front desk took us on the tour and did and excellent job. the tour was about 20-25 minutes and was absolutely amazing. She told us some fun stories about some of the members cars they keep there and was very informative. After the tour we had a quick bite to eat. The derby burger and house salad was phenomena. As well, the espresso martinis might have been some of the best I've ever had. Great vibes and will absolutely be making the drive from Portland to Seattle again just to come back.

Really cool place! I don't know how I hadn't heard about this spot before but glad I decided to come in! It's decorated with a bunch of cool car stuff and is attached to a big garage with both new and old cars. We didn't ask about tours but the website says they do tours on the weekends for $10. We had the meatloaf and a steak special. The steak its self was good but we weren't huge fans of the Gorgonzola butter on top. The veggies were really good! 4/5 without the Gorgonzola butter but 3/5 with it. The meatloaf had a great flavor but was a little dry. There was a bit of sauce on top but I would've loved more or even extra on the side. The veggies and mashed potatoes on this were also great! 3.5/5. I would definitely go back to try some salads and burgers that I thought looked good!

Very interesting concept for a dinner This place is actually much more than just a place to eat. It's also a car club/auto shop/ auto storage facility. They have some fairly interesting cars to look at also. But beware you do have to stay in the limited public spaces. Luckily they do have fun patio space that in sure adds to the experience when the weather is great. The food is good, but kind of pricy for what all you get. No complaints about the service or the interior design. However, When we first walked in, we were kind of overwhelmed by the smell of gas. I thought I had accidentally gotten gas in myself so I was sniffing my hands and arms for the first few minutes before it really dawned on me that it was the shop. The smell fades after a while. One huge plus goes to derby for having a really easy parking lot once you get inside of it. Lol. Overall I would reccomend this place for a simple fun meal. Probably wouldn't go out of my way and make reservations again, but still a pretty chill spot to get brunch. If your expecting a diner, this is a diner for sure.

We came here for Happy Hour on a Friday afternoon. The staff was friendly and confirmed that Happy Hour applied to the entire restaurant, so we could sit anywhere. However, the Happy Hour specials were only for drinks. When we asked if they had non-alcoholic beer, they checked with the bar and found that they did! We enjoyed our Athletic Mexican Lager and garlic fries very much. The restaurant was spacious with nice decor. Parking was easy, thanks to the parking lot.

I've been sleeping on this place. I went when it first opened and haven't been back until recently for a work happy hour. The happy hour options are good, as is lunch. I came back and had the Brussels sprouts and the skillet cookie dessert! My friend and I split the bird dog fried chicken sandwich and upgraded to garlic fries. The chicken was crispy and moist. Service was awesome and both visits. Thank you Anna, Marie and Nester! Can't wait to come back for more HH and brunch.

My wonderfully amazing girlfriend had made surprise reservations for us for my birthday, and I have to say, I was so impressed and blown away! It's insane that we have a place like this here in Seattle, and it was great having the experience of a car-culture restaurant for the first time! They had a little merch area, and on the Saturday morning we had gone, there was a Mercedes meet going on outside. We figured that we could have more visibility of the cars inside, but it then became evident that they had tours you could pay for to check out the rest of the vehicles. We still got a good view of some of my favorite Porsches, so I was a happy man! The food was good, it was certainly not the best I'd ever had, but it was filling, and the steak had a good flavor! Don't come here just for the food, if you're looking for a great overall experience as a car enthusiast, this is it for you!

My job had an event for us here. Before arriving I was excited about the menu which looks amazing! I was deciding between Fish and Chips and the Damn Good Reuben however upon arrival we were in there event space!- Lol If you're in need of an event space for Car Enthusiast or anything unique in general I recommend! They have quite a large space and it's surrounded by all types of Classic Vehicles. We had about 100 people and it seemed as though it could honestly fit double that amount. They seem to have their own system of catering and a bar service so you may be able to work something out with the events team! I recommend!

I am NOT* a big car guy but I got to dine here for lunch 2 different times now. Once around 2018 and just last week. Both times, service was top notch. Our servers were attentive and friendly. The food was very sold too. Last week, we started with fried Brussel Sprouts which was very tasty (definitely not a healthy starter or anything though) and for the main course I had steak salad. Nothing was mind blowing here but our party enjoyed everything we ordered. I cannot really conclude this review without mentioning the interior decor. This place must be a dream for vintage car collectors and car buffs. Behind the dining area, they have a garage with maybe about....idk... Hundred(?) cars parked they belong to their members. Also it seems like they had a few cars for sale as well. Such a cool spot if you're into this sort of thing. One thing I will mention is that you do not have to be a member to eat at the restaurant. I highly recommend this place especially if you have not been here before. Even if you're not a car person, I think you will be intrigued and the food is solid.

Stopped by for lunch on a weekday and they were busy. They certainly have fans because there's not much nearby. Ordered the steak salad and it was yummy. Steak was cooked perfectly. They could have eased up a little on the dressing as that left the rest of the salad on the saltier side.

Stopped in here before a mariners game. Definitely off the beat in path! My wife found this just looking for places around T mobile Park(keep in mind it's still over a mile away). First off I am not a car guy, but the whole concept is pretty cool. Now I am not sure if these cars are all just stored here or if some have work that needs to be done, nonetheless, there are plenty of different ones to look at in awe. The set up of the whole place is very clean and sleek, absolutely loved the ambiance. The server that we had was nice and somewhat attentive, though it was pretty empty when we were there. We started off ordering two drinks(pictured). Both were great and generous on the pour. My wife and I had a hard time deciding on what to get so we just ordered a couple of small plates. Brussel sprouts were decent, I was hoping for a little more flavor, but still good. The wings were good, but had a slight flavor of fish sauce, we still devoured the whole plate of 7(?). The gnocchi Mac and cheese we both had high hopes for, but tasted very watery and plain, without the bacon in it would have been a disappointment. We did order a second round of drinks which were just as good as the first. Overall I would have to rate the ambiance a 5 and the food a 3. The service was also middle of the road. We may swing by again for real entrees, but if you're looking for eye candy in the automotive department, this is a great place! And the drinks hit the spot!

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and when we walked in we didn't wait too long. The staff who helped us communicated about helping us soon which I thought was great that they communicated that. In addition to that, I thought it was really cool we can see the cars near us while we eat our food it gives a great view to those who love cars (like my boyfriend). The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the bacon in the eggs Benedict was a bit chewy for me. Other than that, the service and the ambiance was top notch!

No amount of cool cars can cover up how dry my burger was. The waitstaff were so sweet and willing but wow the food was so mediocre. I ordered the Derby Burger and it was borderline burnt, it felt like they mixed their beef with industrial grade steel it was so tough. If you wanna see beautiful cars then go, but if you want a good burger keep searching. Though I should also note that the people I dined with said the steak and the chimichurri sauce was good, so if you're interested in that then try it out.

A gem hidden deep in SODO Derby is is actually a a shop where car enthusiasts car store and tune up their cars. Their restaurant is still great nonetheless. Food If you go for breakfast, you can't go wrong with French toast, but you MUST try the Bad Ass Bacon. Hands down the best restaurant bacon I've had in my life. They offer other great breakfast and lunch food as well. Service The first time I went, our server wasn't the best. I went with my friend and his daughter, and gratuity was already added to the bill. He let my friend know this and pre selected no additional tip before handing the mobile bill to him, but when it was time for my bill, he weirdly didn't say anything, I didn't realize the gratuity but was able to deduce this due to the tip being 3-7%. With that said, the rest of the staff are friendly and attentive. I went a second time and our server chopped it up with us and made sure our cups were always full. I had no issue giving him a hefty additional tip. Ambiance If you're a car person, you can sit next to the window and see all the luxury cars being stored, from G wagons, to old school hot rods! It's a great place to bring kids to spark their love for automobiles! Verdict Between the good food and the ambiance, this place is great, but the service could be better at times. All in all, I give this place a 4/5 would recommend!

The only word to describe the food here is incredible. Burgers are juicy and flavorful bacon is cut THICC with two c's (get the bacon on your burger) fries cooked and salted to perfection Arnold Palmer is very lemonady(I love Arnold) staff was nice and aesthetic was very cool, and cars are cool (they have Macklemore limo) I don't have a car but if I did I would total it so I could get it serviced here and enjoy the good food and Macklemore car (Update: DOGS ALLOWED ) 10/10 come here or I will kick your shins not too hard but like too the point where it's annoying and you're like gosh diddly I guess I have to go now this guy won't stop kicking my shins

Car buffs--heads up. Derby continues to be one of the most unique dining experiences in Seattle. Even if you're not a car aficionado, you'll love this place. Food is terrific; they have a discerning clientele. Service is warm and friendly; they have a discerning clientele. But it's the atmosphere and the cars that shine. Hubby had the Asian Chicken Salad which he loved. I had a burger with garlic fries that were amazing. A real burger my friend. The fries were excellent--especially with the sides of catsup and ranch sauces. I noticed the bartender engaged with customers and the vibe is very friendly. Because they are located in a high end auto shop, the surroundings are a conversation piece. The day we were there they had a vintage VW bus with fiberglass boat on top just like my family had when I was a kid. Derby will bring back memories and bring out your inner car love. It's worth the drive to SODO for a lunch date.

One of the most unique eateries in Seattle. Really encourage people to check it out both because the food and the interesting ambience. The service is great too. If you are a car enthusiast, you should not miss Derby.

We always come for the bacon!! It's amazing! Today we shared the BLT with fried egg and still got a starter of the bacon! Got to try it if you haven't!! But the hubby who loves fish and chips said it was one of the best ones he's had!! Theirs is made with rock cod! Crispy beer batter and not greasy!

Ate here yesterday and some thoughts. #1 Service, super friendly, kind, sweet servers. We were in contact with 3 servers, our main server while "new" was attentive, prompt, and we had no idea she was new until she said she's new and asked whether one of our party was a member of the car "Shop" adjoined to it, the food runner, super sweet, funny, fast, third one was funny, and kind also! So as for the service, 5 Stars no doubt, was very happy with it. #2 The "Bad Ass Bacon." Holy Moly, if you love bacon, come here. 4 slices, I think was $18, but the size of them! The flavor! The slight sweetness, the succulence, the texture, so glad we had it, and definitely the main reason you come here to eat. I could only handle 1.5 pieces though. 4 Stars. #3. Food temperature was not impressive. Nothing was hot. The garlic fries, my burger were not hot. Not sure about the brisket burger, or the peppers from the other people in our party, but yea, it was the first thing I noticed on first bite. Did I finish everything? Yup, still good, but food temperature when things are supposed be hot it big for me, so I give the food 3 Stars. Service and Bacon stand out here. Cool ass car garage (members only) gives it cool ass ambiance, and you can see some of the cars through the windows if you cannot tour it with a member. But if you're not a member, I provide some pics for ya :)

This place is pretty cool. The vibe feels 'rockabilly' a bit and you are sitting in a restaurant area of a club for car collectors. There is a small free viewing area of the garage to see some fun cars or take a tour for a fee. We went for brunch (only on weekend) and it was great. Had the eggs Benedict and it was perfect for me and the bacon...oh the bacon. Also the fried potatoes just hit the spot for me. I wouldn't call them home fries but I really loved the crisp and flavor of them. Just a delightful breakfast. Staff was awesome and friendly/attentive. We did not partake in any morning brunch adult beverages but for sure you could get some here. Parking wasn't a problem for us but just FyI that there isn't a ton and then you are parking on the street. A unique place for a brunch or a lunch/dinner if you are in the area.

Food was mediocre and overpriced. Service was good but was charged a 23% service fee and was not told or given an itemized bill, so tipped 20%, only to realize they auto included it after paying and signing. No problem with an auto gratuity, but not to communicate that and then ask for a tip is SHADY! Not returning

Randomly found the spot and decided to come because of the car aspect of it! The theme is really cool they have F1 races on the TV and the decor to look like a fancy auto shop. Definitely a good place to take car lovers or people visiting from out of town (I'll definitely be taking my dad back here). I ordered the breakfast poutine and I enjoyed it, but it does have french fries (because poutine has french fries obviously) which is definitely a different vibe than eating eggs over breakfast potatoes. So probably would not recommend if you don't want to eat French fries for breakfast xD The service was really friendly and attentive so no problems on that front and I loved how they had free parking in the lot outside. You can take a tour of the car garage which you can schedule at the front desk, or there is a public free area that you can look across the garage. I think it is also only for the members The Shop but there is a hair salon and a cigar shop in the garage which is kind of random.

Few times at Derby this month in the company of best friends and planning to go again soon. It's an unusual setting in The Shop. So is the ambiance, character, decor, with a beautiful long bar and dining area on three sides. Our group tried several menu items. Starting with MISO SHISHITO blistered shishito with pepper, black sesame miso aioli - an excellent starter. Lamb curry with Greek yoghurt and rice was just done right. DERBY BURGER AND FRIES tried by our group member is something to crave for. WESTSIDE GUMBO we ordered in two different spice levels. Mine spicy gumbo made with homemade andouille and shrimp gumbo, rice was sumptuous. QUESADILLA with chicken turned out to be an amazing choice as well. We all agreed that the rotating wine pairing needed better options than we indulged in. Christie and Mike are going to work on it. Overall great experience with menu selection coming from the open kitchen and well served by Mike, Jessica and Christie. Way to go team Derby. Surprise was a brief stop by none other than one of the co-owner of The Shop who also has several sets of wheels there. Also amazing to get a prompt acknowledgment from the bar manager Morgan Shultz. Gracias.

There aren't many restaurants in the Sodo area. With that in mind, Derby is a solid choice. There's a parking lot, street parking, online reservations, and stuff to ooh and ahh over. If not for those features, I'd probably rate closer to a 3.5. Food and cocktails are good. I've only been here for brunch but each time, I left feeling full and slightly buzzed. The bacon is hyped but worth it I think. I wish they had more rotating entree options but they've got the basics covered. Service is friendly. You can tell the pandemic has affected staffing as it took awhile to get ordered taken, receive food & drinks, etc. but everyone was hustling and trying their best. While I haven't been, they do have happy hour. Definitely excited to try one day.

This place is awesome. The concept is heart if you like cars new and classic. We were here for breakfast the food was really good. The toasted marshmallow espresso martini was legit highly recommend and the bailey's and coffee was good the service was on point super friendly. I will be back every time I come to Seattle.

Stopped in for lunch and to check out the BACON. Very cool atmosphere. We started with the Bacon appetizer. It was good but I prefer my bacon on the crispy side. I ordered the Korean Chicken Sando. It was ok however, I was expecting something a bit more spicy. I think the chicken would be good as strips with the dipping sauce. My husband ordered the BLT. Again it was ok but he wouldn't order it again. The garlic fries that came with his BLT were delicious! Our waitress was super friendly and did a fantastic job.

This place is SO fun to visit. I went twice during my trip to Seattle for my fall break, first time was on Sunday (10/1) for a tour and brunch, then my sister wanted to try it out too so we went again on Tuesday (10/3). As a car person I enjoyed it very much, seeing dozens of classics or super rare cars. Will 100% come back when I come back to Seattle in the Spring.

Good for just drinks and to look at the cars I guess. Not good for food. Pros: Cold beer Server was sweet, and attentive great service. Shelby I think? Cool atmosphere. Cons: that bird dog sandwich is atrocious. Two sad pieces of dyno nugget chicken pieces in a dogshit hot dog bun... for $22.... Places like this remind me not to eat out anymore or just go to chipotle

Derby has stepped up their game.. food and service were excellent! Our server Mariah was super friendly and attentive. We got to meet the chef - Lucy.. she's killin' it! Our lunch was so delicious and the dessert was amazing as well. Only got a pic of the dessert (my bad lol). It's been a while since we've stopped by.. however, after today's experience and seeing the new menu items, we'll be back soon.

I went here for brunch for a friends birthday...never been before. I loved this place! Cool atmosphere and there are a bunch of awesome cars to look at. Macklemore has his moose mobile there. I ordered the steak and eggs and just wolllllllfed those down. Ordered a Bloody Mary, a shot of fireball and a beer. The staff was cool and nice. They served us fast and with flair. I left feeling good. There can be some sketch balls walking around the area outside but that is not their fault...that's the Governor's. I will certainly come back again. I will be like a Kirby at Derby next time and suck down multiple drinks and eat food like a man on a mission. Keep up the good work ownership!

Run, don't walk to Derby for the weekend brunch! The French toast is exceptional - other customers walking by our table were jealous. Service was attentive but not hovering, coffee refilled perfectly and no one rushing us away. The view of the cars was fun even for a non-car enthusiast. And don't miss the puppy in the attached barbershop.

Although the food as decent when it finally arrived, between the numerous forgotten drink orders, constantly having to flag the waitstaff to remind them of placed orders not brought, inaccurately cooked food, and the inaccurate final bill, this was the worst service I've ever received eating out; I won't be back.

The Brussels sprouts are to die for with the honey glaze. Chicken wings and salad were good too

Took my husband, a classic car enthusiast, to The Shop (a/k/a "The Country Club for Gearheads" ) for his bday and had lunch at The Derby next door. A terrific experience all the way around. Loved the tour ($10 each) - seeing the garage stacked with fabulous old, but mint condition porsches, jags, viper, etc. was wonderful. Lunch was the epitome of comfort food - best burger I've had in a real long time, served exactly as I asked. The bacon was thick, sweet and scrumptious (I ordered it on the side as I did with everything else that comes with the burger, except the American cheese - I'm a purist when it comes to burgers) and not a peep as to my requests. Brunch and bar drinks looked wonderful - eggs benny made my mouth water. Make a reservation. Outdoor seating too. Definitely give this place, as well as the tour, a spin. Well worth the time for something different and delicious.

[Quick update: After reading some Yelp reviews, I wanted to clarify that there are two things that are no longer accurate at Derby: 1) There is no longer an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill, but there is a 3% kitchen living wage surcharge that is added, and 2) happy hour now ends at 6pm, not 7pm.] Derby feels like a high-end car club first and a bar/restaurant second. This is a good thing if you're hungry and want to gaze at the vast array of exotic cars while you eat, but it may not be so good if you're the Ferrari owner who just wants to take their midlife crisis for a spin without a bunch of people staring at him. But since I'm not rich enough to own an exotic, I'll settle for staring at them while enjoying a hamburger instead. Speaking of burgers, they're great at Derby. The bread they use for the buns is awesome and the veggies are fresh and crisp. This was especially impressive considering we visited during a snow storm, so I'm not sure how the food was still so fresh but it was. They also had excellent fries. I had them both with and without the poutine and they were the right amount of crispy and salty. The one downside is that the pretzel was a bit tough, so it was the wrong amount of crispy. I think they may have cooked it too long in the oven, or unlike the veggies they were a bit long in the tooth? Either way my kids still ate the entire pretzel so it wasn't that bad. They also have around 10 beers on tap and many were great local beers, so that's a plus. Regarding the service, it was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and provided good recommendations on what to order. He treated my kids like adults by calling them "sir" and "madam" which they seemed to enjoy. We also had multiple folks on the staff checking on us to ensure we were satisfied. This rarely happens these days, but the attentiveness shows they care about their customers. Lastly, the environment was a very comfortable place to spend time in. They had a good variety of comfy leather couches, bar stools, high tops and booths, all of which had a view of the many nice cars in the adjoining garage. They even have a basket of Matchbox cars for the kids (and Dads) to play with and the retro colored pencils with a sharpener is a nice touch and shows how they focus on the details here. The waiter did over-charge me for a drink, but I'm guessing this was an oversight since we got there right as happy hour was ending and he fixed it quickly. They also add on a 3% service charge for the kitchen staff which was explained on the bill. The bill also recommends tip amounts of 15%, 20% and 25% on the pre-tax amount which I appreciate since most places calculate the tip percentage after tax, which inflates the tip amount. Note that they no longer automatically add 20% to the bill as of Feb, 2019. Overall this place is a hidden gem in Sodo that caters to people looking for good food, good drinks and for car enthusiasts and kids alike.

I really liked this restaurant. However last time I took some business colleagues, the menu had been limited and prices had soared for some reason. Also, the food seemed to be of a lesser quality than it was the previous few times I'd dined here. Someone ordered the maple bacon. It never disappoints.

I love Derby, great location and parking availability for work lunches, happy hour. The food is always delicious, especially their bacon (tastes like candy). Great dining experience along with some cool cars too gawk at. They have a new chef, her name is Lucy and she is phenomenal! She's added new items to the menu, you'll have to go and see for yourself! Mariah was our waitress, and she was such a sweetheart!

I went here with my team and it was great! The old fashioned was made with beautiful presentation. It didn't hide the taste of the bourbon, but it's still had a hint of sweetness but not too sweet. It's a good balance and warms my tummy! Kaddeeklatsch pretzel was great! We got a huge half of a pretzel with pimento cheese and ground mustard. The pretzel was good...it wasn't as soft as I would have liked. The pimento cheese was good and had big chunks of shredded cheese and ground mustard on the side. Matt's bad ass bacon is very meaty and I love it!! It's sweet with the maple, but it could have used a little more salt. Brussel sprouts are cooked perfectly and I love that it's a little bit crispy and the sauce for it is good with a hint of spicy. Poutine was great! The fries had a lot of body to it and crispy outside and soft inside and had delicious brisket and gravy! Delicious! Customer service was good. Alicia checks on us and makes sure our drinks are always filled and makes sure we don't need anything else!

My husband and I ate here on a Sunday afternoon because we happened to be in the neighborhood (and there aren't many other options around). Overall the food was pretty good, but it was also expensive. I ordered the Breakfast Tacos, which are stuffed with scrambled eggs and brisket. It was also served with fried potatoes and ketchup. The tacos were pretty unique and very tasty, but I thought the potatoes were too plain. My husband ordered the Bad-Ass BLT, which was amazing! The bacon is as thick as a slice of ham. The roasted garlic mayo also adds a great flavor and the fries were good. Yes, they automatically add 20% gratuity to your bill, but I thought our server gave us excellent service. The kitchen staff also kindly agreed to let us order something off the lunch menu, even though it was brunch service. I really appreciated that. Derby is connected to a private car club called The Shop. There is a small area where you can walk into the garage and see some of the cars. They have Macklemore's blue limo and moose motorcycle from his music videos, which were pretty cool to see, but you can't see much more than that.
