The restaurant
The Hollywood Brown Derby is Hollywood Studios' most elegant restaurant, a re-creation of the Vine Street restaurant where 1930s Hollywood went to be seen.
The place
It sits on Hollywood Boulevard near the front of the park. The room is warm wood paneling, with caricatures of film stars on the walls, a tradition carried over from the original. The menu pairs contemporary American cooking with dishes the original Derby made famous.
History
The first Brown Derby, shaped like a hat, opened on Wilshire Boulevard in 1926, and the Vine Street branch followed on Valentine's Day 1929. Owner Bob Cobb is credited with inventing the Cobb salad there, and the Derby created its grapefruit cake. Disney's replica opened with the park on May 1, 1989.
What to order
- The Cobb Salad, made to the original recipe
- Grapefruit Cake, a Brown Derby original
- Filet mignon at dinner
Good to know
- It's a Signature restaurant, Disney's fine-dining tier, and Disney calls it the park's most elegant.
- A Fantasmic! dining package pairs a meal with reserved seats for the nighttime show.
