Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Brown Derby is a replica of the original restaurant of the same name- in both likenesses you will find caricatures of famous actors and actresses from stage and screen.
The food here is superior- well worth two table service credits on the Disney Dining Plan- and the service is wonderful as well. You can expect to find lamb, duck, roasted chicken, and rib selections here as well as great vegetarian choices like the wok-fried coconut tofu noodle bowl. Appetizers and desserts don’t disappoint either- my favorite on property dessert can be found here: Banana White Chocolate Toffee Tower on Cocoa-Almond Cookie and Bananas Foster! Yum! You can see their full menu HERE.
Hollywood Brown Derby is the only signature restaurant located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and it books up fast for dinner so either try for an early meal time or call at your 180 day mark to guarantee a table! Also worth noting is that the restaurant participates in the Fantasmic Dining Package as well as offers the Dine with an Imagineer a couple nights a week! This is one of the best restaurants on Disney property to experience Old Hollywood at its best!
Overall, we give Hollywood Brown Derby an “A”.
The only place I will eat at Hollywood Studios. Amazing food and service.
The Hollywood Brown Derby is an amazing restaurant. Don’t be scared of the ritzy facade. They have a variety of menu items for all tastes and budgets. Their service is outstanding and the ambience takes you back to the Golden Age of Hollywood.
