Make a lunch reservation on the app, easy & no wait. Order the Wagyu beef burger with pastrami & fried egg on brioche with steak cut fries (1/2 a potato ) have great drink service & you're welcome!

Allen Arcade

The filet is good and comparable to some of the better steak places of most major cities . Especially nice to be able to order and consume one in shorts and flip flops.

Meaghan Kenny

My salmon and lentils was out of this world delicious! We had amazing service as well , so attentive! The grapefruit cake is a must try!

Donita Wade

My favorite place to go. Make sure you sit with Kelsey or Danielle. They are by far the best and friendliest. Will take care of you above and beyond!

Ben Loomis

We started with the Cobb salad ! Amazing! Then my wife had the duck and I got the beef . Wow - we both agree: Greatest meal in our lives. Waiter was excellent. Can't say enough about the experience!!!

Derek R Swartz(FJB)

The food is really good the flaming Jan is to die for but this food still doesn't compared to that of LeCeller steakhouse in the Canadian Pavillion of EPCOT

2 current favorites are Crispy Spiced Duck Breast served with locally grown orange cauliflower and a duck confit-filled yucca , and herb-crusted rack of lamb over a buttermilk-blue cheese corn pudding . Read more

Great service by Chad. The salmon + lentils was perfect, and the duck was delicious. It's amazing the menu is from the 1920s

Dee Burns

The Derby Sliders are awesome! My hubby heads straight for this place as soon as we enter the park . Adults beverages are good too!

Katie McMahon

James is the BEST waiter we've had this trip. Friendly , always smiling. Very attentive. Cobb salad was amazing and so was the duck ! Creme brûlée for dessert !

Karen Pietrantonio

If you are planning to order a glass of wine , try one of their wine flights ! A nice way to sample several wines and see how they complement the dish.

Anna Chenoweth

one of the best restaurants on Disney property, and that's saying something. worth the 2 Disney dining credits and price of admission into the Studios! great atmosphere, makes you long for the 20s.

Dan Sohayda

Pretty tasty negroni upon request. They offer a $65 three course meal with VIP Fantasmic seating later in the evening. They're roped off in the center but otherwise not very VIP worthy.

Anna Smiley

Great service, perfect cuisine. Everything tasted too good. Delicious set of deserts and wine flight .

Sean Robison

Try the wagyu beef burger . It includes pastrami and an egg . Tons of flavors going on.

Carlos Acevedo

Great looking place! Didn't order the Cobb Salad but after reading the tips I wish I did. I have not had the pleasure of pinching a loaf here yet but it must be quite the adventure. ????

Allen Arcade

They claim to have invented the Cobb Salad . Not sure if true but it certainly is done well . This is the appetizer portion of it. Also available as an entree.

Minh Nghi

Bypass the grapefruit cake and get the creme brulee .

Kristin Knutson

They have a meal deal that reserves you seating for Fantasmic , totally worth it. Food is delicious, especially the dessert trio.

Tatiana Boratzuk-Moscat

The food is awesome but the Desserts ... The BEST✨????❤️!!! Try the lambs and then the Trio dessert ????????????

John Bishop Jr.

A nostalgic step back in time; the Cobb Salad is my favorite meal in #DisneyWorld.

David Lubin

Great prix fixe menu comes with VIP tickets for Fantasmic...love the chocolate ball

jcr Rose

best cobb salad ever! i was able to get the lobster bisque soup for appetizer & the cobb salad for my entree at lunch on the deluxe dining plan . they were very nice about it. the steak is also great.

Tricia

Curry noodles with coconut tofu is outstanding! Try it with the paired wine ; very cool flavor interplay. Bananas foster was luscious. Server Rahul is delightful.

Riley L

The Cobb salad and grapefruit cake are both really good.

Courtney Stancil

Outdoor Brown Derby Lounge does not require a reservation . Sometimes can get the full restaurant menu.

Sarah Nixon

Really delicious but super pricey . Share and app and an entree. Also Lamb Duo was incredible!

Derek R Swartz(FJB)

Expensive but very very good food if you're on the Disney dining plan we will use two of your sitdown table services per person for this option so be prepared

Justin Lisenby

Best restaurant in Hollywood Studios. The Braised Short Ribs is the best!

Ryan Nixon

Charcuterie board and crispy bites were elegant and satisfying. Excellent cocktails

Sue Ann Wolff

Cobb Salad w/bleu cheese dressing on side was great for lunch . Warm rolls w/butter were scrumptious. Didn't leave room for dessert , but I'll be back.

Nikki Kanter

Filet with red wine reduction was great. The strawberry salad was as expected and the oyster Brie soup was subtle but delicious. Grabbing grapefruit cake to go!

Allen Arcade

The grapefruit cake is fairly unique... As long as you like grapefruit .

Rhia Winkelman

Let's definitely not forget to mention the sweet onion soup on the app menu. Mild heat, but great flavor. Enough to share, if you get an entree. Price = $$$, but worth it b/c the service is 5 star!!!

Kenito

The service is impeccable! Constant refills on beverages and service like it would've been in the original Brown Derby's era out in Cali. Our waiter was James and he was outstanding.

Ben-jammin Black mon'

Wonderful steak and atmosphere.

Anicka Kolarik

Make sure to try the Cobb Salad ! It's listed as an appetizer but I order it as an entrée. I also suggest you get it with bleu cheese dressing - it's better than what they suggest

Joe Murphy

Make sure to check out the outdoor seating area . No reservations required and they have food too!

James Richmond

The service is wonderful as was the Butternut Squash soup

Minh Nghi

Food is great and so is the dessert . The caricatures are fascinating as well .

Hernan Perez

Good ambiance and decor! Food more than decent for a theme park but you’ll pay $$ a slight premium

Hard Rocker

Always enjoyable for lunch or dinner . Friendly staff .

Jason Fry

The grapefruit cake is the thing to have. Sounds weird but it's great. A nice surprise.

Allen Arcade

Excellent lamb chops . Seared and juicy.

Holly S.

Great service for anyone with food allergies. Table side service from the chef !

manuel

Get the grapefruit cake . Delicious and refreshing

Madisen Saglibene

Cobb Salad ....AWESOME! just dont eat it all and fill up before your entrée comes! Steak was delish and the chocolate mousse desert was awesome too :)

Scotty Takano

Cobb salad is minced very finely. Original Recipe was for some famous person who couldn't chew well . It's not great and not crispy . Feels prechewed.

Joanna

Order the Cobb Salad off the appetizer menu as an entree and then a dessert . You get to try more things and it still costs less than one regular entree.

Reena B-S

Food fantastic. Server checked dining plan credits before we even ordered and resisted our efforts to speak to chef about allergies (even though that's standard practice elsewhere at Disney). Weird.
