Review:
The service was fantastic. Our server knew all there was to know about the history of the actual Brown Derby in Hollywood and how the Brown Derby in Hollywood Studios replicated the original. He also knew about all the food that they served and was happy to offer his opinion on the different dishes. I decided on the Coconut Tofu which was a block of coconut covered tofu served over Asian stir fry veggies and noodles with a spicy sauce…



Although I thought the thin noodles were a little strange in the dish (typically Asian style noodles are the thicker egg noodles) it was delicious. It was the perfect mix of spicy and sweet and neither were too spicy or two sweet.

Norwood had the famous Cobb Salad with French dressing. It features four types of lettuce, tomatoes, poached turkey, bacon, avocado, chives, bleu cheese and a special French dressing. ..



Norwood thoroughly enjoyed his meal and in fact could not eat it all. It was a very generous portion. He liked it so much that the waiter brought him a recipe card so we could make the salad at home.

For dessert we had their famous Grapefruit Cake…

It was the best desert that I have had at a Disney restaurant to date. It was sweet but not sickly sweet and it went well with the cappuccinos (real coffee made on a real espresso machine!).

The entire meal (including tip) ran about $80. Our meal was well worth the money and the service could not have been better. We both highly recommend the restaurant. If you would like to see what they serve for lunch and dinner check out the Brown Derby Menu.
