quick & Dirty dining review of Hollywood Brown Derby

[crabbygal902]

When we went: Thanksgiving Week 2012

Where we stayed: Art of Animation in a Lion King Suite

When we ate here: Thanksgiving lunch, as a part of the Fantasmic! package

What we ate: apps- 2 crab spring rolls, cobb salad, kid's salad, entrees- 2 beef fillets, pork chops, kid's fish sticks dessert- 2 banana toffee towers, berry cobbler

What we liked: the server was quick and very pleasant, the booth where we were seated was comfortable and out of the ordinary. It made for a great family picture since we were seated all together instead of on 2 separate sides.

What we didn't like: Maybe our expectations were too high. Everything was good. A solid good. Nothing was wrong---at all. But at those prices, we were expecting great.

How much did we spend? $200.18 OOP, excluding tip. Ouch!!

Other stuff: This was our first signature restaurant and our Thanksgiving meal. We had high hopes.

Will we go back? Probably not, unless someone else is buying!

We're doing the Brown Derby for dinner in August, with the Fantasmic Package. We have the dining plan and it's 2 credits, but we wanted to do one signature restaurant and see Fantasmic, so this seemed to be a good choice. After reading your review, I'm glad that we chose to take the dining plan. Thanks for the heads up!

We didn't love it either.

I was so looking forward to the famous Cobb Salad. No so great to me.

I have yet to try Brown Derby, and have heard some mixed reviews. I haven't really heard about the food being bad, just being kinda "Blah" or "okay" for the price. But I have also heard that with many of the signature dining. There are some restaurants that are consistant in the food quality and the service, and some seems to be hit or miss. Anyway, I wish that your experience at Brown Derby would have been what you imagined.
