Additional Details
The original Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood was renowned for its celebrity clientele and is famously credited with inventing the Cobb Salad. This Disney World location pays homage to that legacy.
Love this place. Flordia version of the famous Hollywood restaurant of the same name. Filet, duck pasta are perfection. Cobb salad is fantastic and famous. Delicious food, great service. Save room for desert. Seasonal pumpkin cheesecake is out of this world. Presentation is on the next level.
This is always a must on our Disney trips! The food is always amazing! The drinks are delicious. Wait staff is friendly! The atmosphere is old Hollywood, which we love! It's a bit on the pricier side of restaurants but worth it!

We did a walk in with no reservation and only waited like 10 minutes for a table. If you will do that do it right before the rush for dinner and before a storm breaks like we did.
Food was delicious and truly a great bang for your money on disney property. Food was just enough and it was delicious. The Marg trio was only 20 bucks and it was a great size and truly I was feeling the drinks. The vibe in the place was old hollywood and really nicely done. It was a good spot to relax and have a drink.

We had an excellent dining experience at the Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios! The food was outstanding, with perfectly sized portions and beautifully prepared dishes. The menu offered elegant, sophisticated selections with something to suit every taste.
The combination of delicious food, generous portions, and an upscale atmosphere made this a memorable meal. Our second time here!

One of our friends would go there often with his mother so when we go to Disney together we go there for a visit, however the food is not that great especially considering the price.
One of the first things that I look for in any restaurant is if they bring you water when you sit. They don't here. They do bring bread and it's warm and really good.
Everything on the menu is expensive even by Disney standards. I had the beet and goat cheese salad and the stuffed squash which even those are highly over priced and they are at best average.
Our server was very polite and friendly with my niece however he forgot to bring me a refill even though he did notice it and mention it.
If you need to escape the heat and don't mind over paying for average at best food, you can give this place a go.
Personally if it weren't for my friend I wouldn't be going back there.
