Hours

The Hollywood Brown Derby is open for lunch and dinner. It opens at 11:30 each day and closes sometime around park closing time.

Inside

Inside you'll find all the charm of the original (which closed in 1985) including the famous caricatures of famous faces on the wood panel walls. The tradition started a long time ago in the original restaurant when movie stars would eat at the restaurant and the owners would make a caricature and put it up on the wall.

The Menu

Like the original, the menu here is quite simple. In fact, see below, it's not fancy at all, it's classy. The items on the menu are a little fancier than the menu itself, but like the look, they are classy.

Lunch and Dinner have the same menu including prices. Disney calls it contemporary American cuisine. As you can see the menu has a wide variety of items, but the speciality is the Cobb Salad.

Childrens Menu

The Children's menu has games that kids can play. The entrees include Barbecue Chicken, Macaroni, Grilled Cheese (on whole wheat bread), fish sticks and a grilled hot dog. This is about as varied of a childrens menu as you'll find in any of the Disney Restaurants.
