Hi!
I just had lunch today at the Brown Derby for the first time. I have been looking forward to the Cobb Salad for a long time, since everybody raves about it. I found it to just be "ok". Everything was chopped up REALLY SMALL, as if it had been processed through a food processor!! In fact, it could almost be eaten with a spoon, instead of a fork! The taste was good (could have used more dressing), but definitely not the best Cobb Salad I've ever had.
My friend had the Thai Noodle Bowl. It didn't have much flavor; it was just spicy from the currey broth. It came with two chunks of Tofu, rolled in coconut. Those were tasted, but left in the bowl, unfortunately.
DH had an appetizer made up of BBQ pork and a piece of jalapeno corn bread. Now, granted this was supposed to be just an appetizer, but it was literally one bite of pork, and the cornbread was very small--about two bites. The flavor was good, but not much different than any other pork in bbq sauce.
The Grapefruit Cake was very pretty, but did not taste like grapefruit. But, it was a good, light dessert.
On the up side, the service was very good!
Overall, we thought it was overpriced, and the food was just ok. I probably will not go back. Maybe dinner would be better?
Any questions?
