The Hollywood Brown Derby

The Hollywood Brown Derby has a nostalgic charm that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back into old Hollywood. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting, and the service was attentive. My husband ordered the lamb shank, which he absolutely loved; it was tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Unfortunately, my filet didn’t quite live up to expectations. While it was cooked properly, it arrived barely warm, which took away from the experience. The bread and butter were a highlight: warm, fresh, and delicious, and the dessert was good but not particularly memorable. The grapefruit cocktail was light and refreshing. For the price point and reputation, I expected a bit more consistency and attention to temperature and presentation. Personally, I would not visit again.

We were lucky enough to get the last booking of the day and get the top table for our party of seven. The food was the same quality as always: exceptional The service: the same. Special shout for the lady looking after the bar who witnessed our red wine accident, managed the clear up and had replacement in hand in a matter of seconds Recommend, as always, the filet Mignon, this is a quality cut of meat 🥩 Always remember it’s 2 credits on the dining plan Would we come back: Yes! Can we come back: No, because we are back in UK now 😢

Overpriced food. I ordered salmon for myself and my 2 year old.. paid 51$ for my meal and 17$ for kids meal and received exactly the same size piece of salmon. My husband ordered steak and received overcooked burnt dry meat.. and the 18% tip is already included regardless of the food quality and customer service provided.

We came for the famous salad. It's amazing. We enjoyed everything, was tasty Rodrigo made some suggestion for desert, it was delicious.

This place was fun, it definitely fits the Hollywood Studios aesthetic and feels quite different from the rest of the Disney restaurants as a result. The thing I liked most here, actually wasn't the food but the drink flights they offered, getting three drinks for the price of one was not only a great value, but the variety and selection was really fun. The food was great here too. The portion sizes were smaller than I'd like, but the flavors were excellent and the desserts might have been the best of the trip (the Grapefruit cake is incredible). Service was fast and friendly.

Our family of 8 (7 adults and a toddler) dined here on a soggy day at Hollywood Studios. The restaurant is beautiful and exudes fine dining in a casual setting. Despite booking 30+ days out the only dinner reservation earlier than 8:30P was 4:20. We arrived to an almost empty dining room. The entire team was friendly but the food took an extremely long time to come out which was very hard on our little guy and caused stress for those with 6pm Lightning Lane passes. For that reason we would not return. The food was delicious. Those who ordered the filet thought it was outstanding as well as root beer brined pork chop, and the Halibut. The chopped salad was chopped too fine for the two who ordered it making it seem like mush. Don’t skip dessert!

Old Hollywood atmosphere. Refined elegance with old time service. Fully accessible for any mobility access needs. Chairs comfortable for multiple body types. The drinks were inspired. The Gin Mule was outstanding. The warm bread rolls were warm and crisp. The food was well prepared and well presented. Service was above mist restaurants in the park. A must try. #ada #access #service #brownderby #gin #XXL ##holmansellhomes #cobbsalad

Visited the Brown Derby Lounge for dinner as the main restaurant required waiting up to 40 min at the time. We ordered an entree that included jasmine rice and the rice was very overly-cooked but we gave feedback and was given fresher rice so the service was still good. Was slightly disappointed at the food as they were quite pricey even for Disney standards but the quality did not match the price.

I love that they have margarita and martini flights. Both are so fun and come in an interesting holder. I went with the Margarita flight this time but both are top notch. My younger son got the steak with apple slices and yogurt. He liked the steak, the apple is a green apple so none of us ended up eating it. He ate a little of the yogurt but not much so next time I'm getting different sides. My other son got chicken tenders and fries (not on the menu) and it was great so that was a win. My husband got the filet and we got a side of mushrooms. The mushrooms were amazing, hands down my favorite part of the meal. The filet was also delicious, so we'd absolutely get it again. Our server was spectacular and asked us if we wanted her to tell my son no they don't have chicken tenders and fries. This place is old Hollywood themed. So there isn't crazy Disney theming here if that's what you're looking for. But it's charming and the food was good this time around.

The service here is in a league of its own, with waiters being a bit more formal, reminiscent of fine dining. Funny that my family has been coming to Hollywood Studios for decades yet we never ate here until recently and liked it so much, we came back on our latest visit. Also this is the only place where my husband actually orders... the salad! There are good plant-based options and because dessert is essential here, I stick to an app and dessert. The vegan app is a mushroom ravioli and it's phenomenal. If it were entree-sized, I'd be hard-pressed to not order it (it's a lot easier to skip the 33 dollar shepherd's pie). But that orange hazelnut dessert is top vegan tier! It has all the flavors I love, bittersweet chocolate, luscious hazelnut creme and slightly bitter orange. Swirls of something reminiscent of a decadent buttercream between layers... and coffee cream, too. Gah, it's incredible. The cobb salad (how I wish they'd make one plant-based!) is my husband's favorite and it's very popular here with good reason. One slight detractor: we had a late reso b/c we like to dine w/o the place being at full kiddo capacity. I was happy that they sat us at a back corner b/c it was quiet... the tables were empty around us. That peace was ruined when they sat a family with young poorly behaved children right next to us. Naturally I'd understand if the place was full but I think they should read the room a bit better when seating people.

As someone who has been coming to Disney since DHS park opening I never ate at the Brown Derby. When you walk in there's a great space and desk to check in. There's some pics to look at including a cool map. Our server was Scott E. He was quite attentive and made recommendations. We had a 4.35 reservation and it started to get busy by 5pm. Unfortunately, he forgot to put in my sangria order but that's ok. This was a pricey meal and it was small portions. I had a few bites of potatoes with my salmon. The bead service was standard oval rolls. I loved the burrata appetizer- so different and tasty from standard balsamic glaze. The filet mignon and salmon were fine but nothing special. My creme brûlée was fine but could have been creamier. Overall, great service but food was not nearly worth the price tag. It's a one and done for me.

Hands down the best restaurant at all of Hollywood Studios. Also, better than every restaurant at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. I've been here quite a few times, but am now finally getting around to reviewing this spot. When you walk in there is a book that has all of the famous celebrity signings straight ahead. If you take a left and then a right you will see an elevator. This is the elevator to the Club 33 area. I've never been up there, but you can certainly people watch in the lobby. The restaurant is filled with caricatures of old Hollywood people. It's a big open space with a lot of room. The restaurant is known for their "famous cobb salad." And boy, oh boy is it delicious. I always ask them to mix it at the table for me. The taste is perfect. The salad is $28, but I add chicken to it is $35. Up next, I had the $12 Au Gratin Potatoes. They had the right amount of cheese and are served very hot. I really liked them, although it's kind of a small portion. I also tried a $16.50 Derby Margarita. Pretty standard, a little too sugary for my liking. I've had old fashioneds and espresso martinis here too. Middle of the road here for drinks. 10% annual pass discount. Make a reservation.

I remember when I used to participate in the Disney dining plan I always wanted to go here however I always found it to be a little ridiculous that you would have to spend two dinner vouchers for your meal. tonight I died here and I don't think it would've been worth the two meal voucher for signature dining on a dining plan. I had the cobb salad minus avocado and I felt like it was lacking lettuce which I think is the main part of a salad they put hot rolls on the table and they were nothing short of Pillsberry rolls that my mom used to bake for us for Sunday dinners. One of my friends had the filet mignon and was asked if she wanted to have the steak butterfly she said no, and when the state came out, it looked like it was butterfly however, I believe the kitchen just cut the cut of meat in half and it gave off the appearance of a sirloin. My other friend had the salmon and there were no notes .For dessert, I had the grapefruit cake and whenever I see cream cheese frosting being advertised and I bite into frosting that taste like butter. I'm immediately put off. I'm not sure it was worth the price. Our server was fantastic and it was a little loud in the restaurant. 4.1/5

Overpriced food. I ordered salmon for myself and my 2 year old.. paid 51$ for my meal and 17$ for kids meal and received exactly the same size piece of salmon. My husband ordered steak and received overcooked burnt dry meat.. and the 18% tip is already included regardless of the food quality and customer service provided.

This restaurant is our go to at Hollywood studios. There isn't another good sit down option in this park. Great service and consistently good food!!

Yet again another fantastic meal and service at the Brown Derby. Such a nice place to sit down and enjoy a good quality meal that has so much history behind it.

First time I have had the opportunity to eat at one of the higher end restaurants in Hollywood Studios. Boy did it not disappoint. The restaurant is themed after a restaurant famous during the Hollywood Glamour era of the lates 20s/early 30s. The theming was on point as you felt like you had stepped into a Time Machine. The service was high class yet. Food was phenomenal. And after hearing countless times that I had to try the Cobb salad it certainly did not disappoint. So good I even went home to recreate it myself. Would definitely come here again.

One of my favorite restaurants that is within a theme park on Disney property! It is definitely pricey, which is unsurprising to me, but when I am craving it, it is so worth it! I hate to be stereotypical and say my favorite is the Cobb salad but it truly is so good. I really honestly would not order a Cobb salad at any other restaurant but am regularly craving it here. I have tried some other stuff - pork chops, a few starters, steak - but the salad is so good. And the shrimp Mac and cheese enhancement as a side!! *chefs kiss*. It is a nicer restaurant, but being in a theme park, it is low pressure. Very friendly staff and the seating and interior is very well kept. Good drink options and some fun history behind the restaurant and some of the menu items!

This is one of the most delicious filet's I have had at Disney. The meal as a whole was so good! The service here was very good. We loved the theming of this restaurant. It was so fun with all of the portraits. Until I tried the restaurant I was always happy to just go to the lounge. I now know that the restaurant is worth making a reservation for! I will definitely be back to try more.

We usually do a Fantasmic dining package reservation here because of the quality of their service and dishes. The food was pretty good and our server, Remy, was awesome. The desserts are huge but delightful. It was very busy and when we ordered, I mentioned the Fantasmic dining package that I thought I reserved. But it didn't book correctly and fortunately Remy was able to check with a manager and give us the tickets for the Fantasmic show. Thank you! In order to qualify for the VIP show tickets with prime seating, you are required to pay $83 per adult or $31 per child and select an entree, dessert, and drink.

We made a reservation for lunch. We needed and craved real food, we don't like the park greasy fried quick service food. We checked in a little late but immediately got a text that our table was ready. Service was very slow at first. Nobody came to our table (the three hungry kids) for a good ten minutes. Kind of a bummer but we were ready to order once the server arrived. We got escargot, wild mushrooms, Cobb salad, chicken entree, kids steak. Our food was awesome. Best restaurant for sure with the best selection at Hollywood Studios. The chicken dish was our least favorite. It was like an Indian flavor meshed with Mexican mole, eh. Glad my daughter ate it because I didn't want to share my salad. The ambiance is dark yet casual. Caricatures adorn the walls.

So good. I wish I could remember the name of our server because she was absolutely phenomenal. Friendly & timely. The food was amazing & the price is what you'd expect for a Disney amusement park. Also worth the price because it was delicious. Ambiance also is what you'd expect. Two thumbs all the way up!

For being a walk in I was not expecting this experience! We waited maybe 20 mins but it was in a holiday (I thought it would've been busier being a holiday). I wasn't a huge fan of the charcuterie board being so minimal with the selection. It was still good, just not enough for its price! My salmon though was probably the best salmon I've had in a while. So delicious! I'm not usually a fan of chocolate, but that cake was addicting.

I have never missed a stop at The Hollywood Brown Derby when in WDW. It is truly stunning every time and while I try every Cobb salad on nearly every menu I encounter, none can match the one from Brown Derby. It is chopped to perfection and I'm always delighted to have it mixed for me tableside. As a note though: I made it a point to sample the escargot anytime I saw it on the menu and ordered it here. The snails were divine but the pastry was very tough! Just something to note. This was the first time I sat on the patio, sipping aperol spritzes and splitting a Cobb with my partner and snacking with our family! We had absolutely sublime service and wanted for nothing, even with them being quite busy just past the lunch hour! You also feel really tucked away out of the thoroughfare which I appreciated! I love the Brown Derby!

I do like this place. They have some great options, not all of them are great but the ones I get are always good. The Cobb salad is a classic, and it really is delicious. Their burger is also really good. The service is always really good as you would expect from Disney. The ambiance is great as well, as Disney transports you to old Hollywood in the 1920's. The grapefruit cake martini is a classic here that you must try

This was our first visit to the Brown Derby, an upscale restaurant at Hollywood Studios. Normally we'd just grab food someplace, so this was a treat for us. We popped in around lunchtime to see if they take walk ins and they did, but it was going to be an hour wait. The wait time for us turned out to be only 20 minutes, which pulled us out of line at Mickey's Runaway Railway. They should estimate better. Once inside I was fascinated by all the caricatures of old performers on the walls. They are simple drawings and I only recognized a few, but it takes you back to how the old Brown Derby had looked from decades ago. Our friendly and professional server was right over to get us started. We found it difficult to decide what to eat and finally settled on their Famous Cobb Salad. Famous because the owner from the original restaurant, named Bob Cobb, created the salad. We decided to split a salad and also get their Charcuterie Board, an assortment of meats and cheese. The food all arrived at the same time. The salad is actually mixed (tossed?) at the table. It all happened so quicky while we were moving things around on our small two-top I didn't get a picture or even see what the salad looked like before mixing. My photo shows the board and split salad where you only see a finely chopped pile of green. Tasted ok and it was pretty large to be able to split like we did. The charcuterie board was disappointing in that there wasn't too much to it. I like what they had, just wanted more. We went about as cheap as we could have for lunch, sharing the board and a single salad, yet it was still somewhat expensive. Glad we tried it.

The Hollywood Brown Derby is a beautiful spot with a classic, elegant interior that sets the tone right away. Our waitress was super friendly and made the experience even better. The margarita flight--3 for $19--is a fantastic deal and a fun way to sample different flavors. We started with bread and butter, which was simple but delicious. The famous Cobb salad lived up to the hype--cold, crisp, and a very generous portion. The pork chop was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We ended the meal with a rich chocolate cake for dessert--a sweet finish to a great meal.

Hollywood Studios isn't typically the go-to park for foodies, but the Brown Derby is doing their best to change that. This was one of our favorite on-property dining experiences during our recent Disney trip - and would absolutely be a restaurant I would re-visit in the future. We made a reservation through the My Disney Experience app 60 days in advance - although it appeared they were talking walk-ups when we checked in. We were seated right away, and anyone who's endured a summer in Florida will understand how grateful we were to get off of our feet and into some AC. Our server Charissa took excellent care of us, including offering several fun recommendations. The Brown Derby bread was one of the highlights of this meal - don't be afraid to ask for an extra basket with your meal! Between our group of five, we tried the Chorizo-stuffed Free-Range Chicken, the Root Beer-brined Pork, and the Grilled Ōra King Salmon, all of which were incredible. We also ordered the Famous Cobb Salad, which was tasty, although I was a little disappointed it wasn't dressed and mixed tableside as advertised. Maybe they were just busy? We shared a couple of desserts to commemorate our last day in the parks - the Decadent Chocolate Cake is enormous for the price, and definitely shareable. The Creme Brulee was also quite good - perfectly light and creamy.

Everything food wise was okay... service was phenomenal- thank you Keith! My water was always full and he was very helpful with menu suggestions and kind / complimentary of our kiddos. We started off with a bread bowl and salted butter - delicious. The bread was slightly crusty on the outside, warm and soft and delicious on the inside. I ordered the famous Cobb salad and I'm so sorry, I must be picky or something because it was kind of disgusting. The dressing was a little off, the avocado didn't taste fresh, and I honestly had to closely examine the turkey crumbles because I couldn't identify what it was suppose to be and the texture was iffy. The au gratin potatoes I got as an extra side were good! They weren't so good I *have* to order them again, but they were tasty. They came in a cast iron ramekin- a neat feature! The kids seemed to like their kid steak meal. The chocolate cake I saw served looked decadent and delicious, but I'll maybe have to try that next time if we come back! The kids

Love this spot!! If you walk up to then host outside they'll put you on the waitlist and they'll text you when the table is ready!! Also they have an outside bar you can get a drink and keep walking !! You can people watch from the patio, the margarita flight is lovely and the food is great !!! The servers were awesome too! I loved the shrimp cocktail, the bone marrow and everything I ate! Just beware it's a little pricy! But it's good

Food items: Crab Louie, bread with salted butter, vegan shepherds, pie, and cobb salad I thought we were going to fistfight each other over the crab Louie. It was so delicious. I love the way the olive oil and the sauce complement the sweetness of the crab meat and the nuttiness of the avocado. I could not tell you how pleased I was with the addition of regular capers and fried capers in a lightly dressed mix salad that was on top, I think was my favorite thing even though as soon as we pass the Brown Derby, I was drooling for the Cobb salad If you didn't know the Brown derby apparently invented the cob salad so it is absolutely the best Cobb salad that I've had hands-down. There's a little video I posted of the server mixing the salad upon table placement. My daughter ordered the vegan shepherds pie and it was so tasty. One could overlook the fact that there was no meat. There was only lentils. They were very flavorful perfectly cooked and served in the traditional layered or stacking style of a shepherds pie. Except the peas were on the side, and there was like a little sliver of fancy carrot on the side, but the mashed potatoes was on top of the lentils, and you definitely felt like you were eating a shepherds pie. And the bread holy moly the bread! It's kind of like the bread at capital Grille they put salt on the butter. The butter is very creamy and fresh and the bread is super hot with a crusty outside and a very, very warm tender inside. It just melts that butter right on down and you feel like you're eating something (manna, maybe? lol) from heaven. Service: absolutely wonderful. When in Hollywood Studios, it is imperative to have a meal at the Brown derby. The historical decor and the field of fine dining in the middle of a hot summers day refreshing to say the least. Ambiance: it's definitely kid friendly. There's two levels there's seating around the perimeter and then down in the dining floor area. There's also outdoor seating and the sidebar for people who don't want the full service experience. We were able to walk up without a reservation so that was fantastic. Every single thing that we ordered was, so delicious. I can't wait to go back! And if you're a passholder, you get that discount! Another review ginning it to you straight no chaser! Enjoy!

Love this place! Such Old Hollywood vibes and A+++ service! Had such a charming and warm server with Charissa who took us through the menu. She was an absolute delight. We ordered the spoon bread, both fish dishes, the Cobb salad, a few desserts... and of course cocktails! I got their signature grapefruit cocktail and dessert and I liked them but they are on the tart side so if you're not into that don't order them. The portions were great for sharing, if you're already full from snacking throughout the day I highly recommend doing that. It's really great that a piece of Hollywood history is alive in this great tribute. You feel transported back to the golden days of Hollywood. Highly recommend!

Of all the Disney Eats this is TRULY my fave the add on mushrooms were 10/10 the pork was AMAZING! Do it! The service was amazing they ALWAYS DO 10/10 but our server was 100/100!

Food was good but I'm not sure if it was worth the price point. I ordered the escargot and halibut. The escargot was absolutely delicious! Cooked with plenty of flavor and pairs well with the bread. (Like molten lava when it first comes out so wait a bit). The halibut was cooked perfectly. It cuts like butter. The remainder of the dish fell short and was a little too citrusy for my taste. The coconut was barely present. The staff there are polite and extremely attentive. Our waiter was so helpful in helping us decide what to get. We walked out extremely stuffed.

Service was very nice and the ambiance was good. I ordered the Cobb salad and I was a bit disappointed. Salad was limp and over dressed. Aprole spritz were delicious. I will go back, just not for the Cobb salad.

I came here for lunch on veteran's day with 2 adult family members. They have just changed up their menu so we had no idea what to expect. We tried the shrimp cocktail which was satisfactory in flavor but pricey for only 4 shrimp nestled in cocktail sauce. The crab louie was more filling but lacked flavoring in the actual crab there was no seasoning. The Mac n Cheese was perfectly cooked and gooey. The bread and butter was the best part honestly. I don't normally eat much gluten but the freshly made warm bread with the thick butter hit the spot. Not sure if I'd have a reason to come back besides the margaritas which were strong enough but not the usual potency I find around Disney. Our server was super enthusiastic and kind to bring us extra bread! I like how clean this restaurant is and the privacy and intimacy of dining inside with AC on a hot day.

We really enjoyed Thanksgiving here. The ambience was really nice with the characters on the walls and old Hollywood vibes. I got the signature Shirley Temple, which came with the ice light up cube which was really cool. Then we all got the turkey platter for Thanksgiving, which was absolutely amazing. Came with all the fixings. For an appetizer, we got the crab and avocado, which was amazing. I will be back to try more things such as their signature Cobb salad, and grapefruit cheesecake which they are known for.

Needing a place to have a date night while on vacation, we settled on this restaurant based on recommendation of family members. We had a reservation time, and as soon as we checked in were told they were running behind. We took this opportunity to peruse the local shops until we received a text that our table was ready. The restaurant was very warm inside, with one entire wall being covered in caricatures of celebrities. A mix of tables with chairs and booths allows them to accommodate a night out for two or a large group. We ordered the Crab Louie as an appetizer, but were surprised when our entrees arrived before it did. I hadn't reviewed the pictures before arriving, but was surprised that we were given two thin strips of crusty bread and not small bread rounds which would have made it easier to consume. We ordered the root-beer brined pork, which was absolutely fantastic. The chorizo-stuffed chicken was also good, but I almost wish I had also ordered the pork. My favorite part of the meal was the Orange-Hazelnut Chocolate cake. Beautifully laid out on a wooden board, the cake was delectable, and the accompanying dollops of hazelnut cream were dreamy. I didn't order the dessert because it was "free" of, but because it sounded like something I would enjoy and it wouldn't be heavy after a large meal. The service was fine, and our host was attentive. When returning to Disney in the future, I would recommend this place to others but would opt to explore other date night options personally.

The Hollywood Brown Derby Is the perfect escape from a busy park day. The lounge area was great for people watching. The waitress was amazing and made sure we understood the menu at every turn. All her helpful questions kept us from making choice we me have regretted. The food was perfect the escargot were so warm and buttery and the puff pastry were a nice touch!

We've tried to get a reservation, but the timing doesn't seems to work out. Reservations made on time and here we. The Hollywood heyday is embraced with framed caricatures of stars from a bygone era adorning the walls. Glad we checked in early, we waited about 20mins past our reservation time. Overall service was good - drink glasses were refilled frequently. The rolls were hot, fresh from the oven. My filet was cooked as ordered and delicious. The salmon was equally delicious and the sweet potato soufflé was outstanding. Enough food to sate our appetites with no room left for dessert. Expensive? Yes about $130 before taxes & discounts - with no adult beverages. But our meal, combined with the ambiance Disney created was an excellent experience

If you have just one place to pick to enjoy a fine meal at Disney than you must, must, MUST, choose the Hollywood Brown Derby. The service is top notch and it's like you are actually eating at a fine dining restaurant, albeit with Goofy hats and Micky Mouse ears as head gear. The appetizer of the Crab Louie, was delicious! The table bread provided was soft, warm and amazing. As for our main courses, the Cobb salad with shrimp was pretty good. We also tried the Grilled Ora King Salmon, which was pretty tasty. My kiddo enjoyed chicken rice soup. The favorite and most tastiest dish was the Filet Mignon grilled medium rare. With Mushroom Risotto, Roasted Asparagus, Black Garlic Butter, Madeira Sauce. The meat was amazing. The risotto was on point! Not rubbery at, made to perfection,and highly recommended! We had an amazing dining experience here. I highly recommend that if you have the time and money for this exquisite meal you should reserve your table today!

Great location and ambiance. Service a bit , how to say it, not like Disney used to be. None of that friendly Disney attitude, cold even impatient. I see a management problem. Cobb salads were too salty, I should have returned them. Generous portions, just way too salty. Grilled cod was very delicious and tender! Soup was warm, not hot. Coquettes were good. Sweet potato soufflé more like a $13 muffin, nice but not soufflé,really a fancy muffin. Most expensive muffin I have ever had. Best part of meal was the hot bread rolls with salted butter. That is pretty sad and expensive.

This was our best and most relaxing dinner in Orlando. Food, presentation and service were outstanding. Samantha, our waitress, gave us just the right amount of attention and service we needed.

The lounge outside is perfect!! The food was yummy. We also got the cheese and meat board. Our server was outstanding! Great place in hollywood studios!

For a theme part restaurant, this is somewhat at the top. Giving 4 out of 5 stars as the service was pretty slow and the dining room wasn't that full. We had last minute reservations for lunch on a Thursday through the My Disney Experience app. They start you with complimentary bread and butter with brown smoked sea salt. The salt was so delicious we immediately went on Amazon and ordered some for home! I had their Famous Cobb Salad which truly was worth the stop alone. I love that everything is chopped so you get a bite of all the delicious ingredients each time. The Grapefruit Cake martini didn't live up to hype for me, I didn't enjoy the citrus and cream fusion. All in all, if I were to visit again I'd just go to their Lounge and not do the full sit down experience.

Elizabeth, the manager was very sweet. My server was Bobby. He was excellent. 5 star service tonight My Cobb was great. I just wish I had more bacon ;) This is the place to go in the parks for amazing food.

Hidden gem amongst Hollywood Studios When Yelp BFF and I planned this trip, we were between Hollywood Brown Derby or 50's Prime Time Cafe for lunch. The wait was super long at the Prime Time Cafe, so Hollywood Brown Derby it was! We shared an appetizer and pork chop. That pork chop was the most delicious thing I think I ate at Disney World. It was juicy, tender and paired very well with the puree and veggies. I was thoroughly impressed! Highly recommend making a reservation and putting this on your food rec for Hollywood Studios Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

One of the reasons my family loves Disney World is that they are so accommodating to allergies! We were visiting for my youngest sister's final cheer competition (March 2024) and made reservations for the Hollywood Brown Derby on Friday night. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful when addressing food allergies. The food itself was tasty but not anything insanely unique (which is low-key a draw of the Hollywood Brown Derby). The decor was a mix of American upscale without being black-tie formal. My mom loved her Cobb Salad and we all enjoyed our charcuterie starter. But the real star of the night was the flourless chocolate cake! I was decently full from my entree but I have zero regrets about being convinced by my family and waitress to give it a go! Gluten-free friends, if you order anything here, order the flourless chocolate cake!

When you think Hollywood Studios dining everyone talks about The Hollywood Brown Derby. I walked in without a reservation as soon as they opened. Luckily I was able to seated within 5 minutes. The waiter took their time to get to our table even though the restaurant was empty. The bread was SPECTACULAR! It was hot, tasty, and the Hawaiian salted butter made it amazing! I was disappointed in the menu selection, I thought there would be more of a variety. I ordered the House=made Ravioli and chicken. Both dishes were nothing special. For an appetizer, entree, and drink it ran me about $75. I'm glad I tried this place, but won't be returning anytime soon.

Definitely among the best restaurant experiences at Disney. We paid for a prix fixe meal in order to get reserved seated for Fantasmic! Enjoyed escargot, cobb salad with shrimp no bacon, halibut, and split the grapefruit cake, something that dates from the early days of a the Brown Derby where a gossip columnist asked for a dessert that fit in with a fad diet of the era involving grapefruit. Great service, great atmosphere.

Got the dinner package to get a good spot for Fantasmic show. The sake braised pork belly was outstanding! The main courses were OK. Service was great.

Our server was amazing. She was knowledgeable and gave great tips. The restaurant was nice and loved the decor around it. In case it matters the restaurant was bi level which I didn't know but was still nice. The food and drinks were pretty tasty. We ordered the shrimp Mac and cheese and spoon bread. Both were very tasty, but we were told the portions were shareable but they were smaller than we expected. Also loved the margarita flight! Each flavor was tasty, but the blood orange was my favorite.

This place caught my eye when we were in Hollywood studios walking around, I believe it's a famous restaurant in Hollywood? But it looked fancy and good, and after perusing the menu online we decided to eat here! First thing is make reservations! They fill up fast! We sat out on the patio and it was great for people watching and enjoying a meal! Started with the Margarita sampler, they were good a bit sweet for me. Next the spoon bread with lavender honey butter, delicious!! Loved this dish! It was like a corn bread with the butter melting on it, so good! Next was the filet, served so fancy, very yummy! Next was their famous Chopped salad, I got this and unfortunately didn't love it, everything was cut up so small it was like it threw the texture off, like nothing to chew? All in all we enjoyed our dinner here!

I was so excited to celebrate my birthday here and boy was I disappointed. I had their famous Cobb salad and truthfully, I rather eat chick-fil a Cobb salad. The waitress had an ehh attitude and ruin my birthday surprise. Overall did not enjoy it and would not be coming back when I'm at the parks.

We managed to get a reservation for 7 the same day and they even were able to seat us early. I loved the old-timey vibes and the staff were all extremely nice. The complimentary warm rolls and salted butter were an awesome start and they had an extensive drink menu. We all ordered the Cobb salad because we've been told it was legendary and it did not disappoint. We didn't love the mushroom croquettes as they had a weird spice flavor and were extremely small. The filet was a little small too but very flavorful. The desserts didn't sound very enticing so we skipped that but would definitely come back.

It's always a good day when you get to enjoy your drink and a snack with Danielle and Ron

What a welcome oasis from the chaos that is Disney. I was surprised that there wasn't much of a wait. The menu is relatively true to the original in California. We had a friendly and attentive server who was also true to her "I'm at the original" character--I almost forgot I was at a theme park! We ordered drinks and a few appetizers since it was late for the lunch period, and we were still trying to cram in more activities. In retrospect, I would have stayed for a full lunch because the food was well prepared and nicely presented. The Crab Louie was the highlight, with lots of crab and very little filler. The martini and margarita flights were a nice bonus. This was a nice surprise in the middle of a hot Florida day.
