Old Hollywood eatery with classic decor & New American menu
"Positioned as a taste of old‑school glamour in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, this restaurant evokes classic Hollywood and is singled out for its famous Cobb salad, which is recommended as the dish to try." - Carly Caramanna
"Hollywood Studios has changed a lot over the years, but the Brown Derby has been there since day one. It’s a replica of the famous Hollywood restaurant: walls are covered with caricatures of celebrities, the waitstaff is wearing tuxedos, and two Brown Derby originals—the cobb salad and slices of tart grapefruit cake—are on the menu. And if you’re looking for liquid courage before the Hollywood Tower of Terror, stop by the no reservation required outdoor lounge for the best cocktails in the park." - Jacqueline Dole
"An Old Hollywood–inspired table-service restaurant with a classic American menu (famous Cobb salad, filet mignon, shrimp macaroni and cheese) and grown-up touches like after-dinner wine flights and a grapefruit cake martini; a walk-up seat in the adjacent lounge is suggested if reservations are unavailable." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.

"Tangy and sweet, this cake is the one reason to visit the Hollywood Brown Derby." - Amanda Kludt
"Jazzy Holidays at The Hollywood Brown Derby is a themed table-service dining experience with live piano music, but you must join the waitlist in the My Disney Experience app as soon as it opens to reserve a spot, and unless you specifically want a sit-down meal there, I recommend skipping it during the short, busy four-hour event so you have time for more festivities." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.
