Every person has a favorite restaurant, a place that brings them comfort. They may order the same meal at every visit or have trouble deciding because they love everything on the menu. It could be a place where they go to relax and simply enjoy a decent meal. Whether it is a fast food joint or an upscale five-star establishment, it depends on the individual. The Brown Derby is this place for me. Although I’ve only eaten there once, that should tell you how much I enjoyed my experience there. The Brown Derby is a restaurant in Orlando, Florida that receives many of its patrons from the tourists roaming around Disney World. The restaurant is dimly lit by chandeliers that hang from the ceiling. There is a dark maroon carpet that complements the dark stain of the numerous tables well. However, this is not what catches your attention when you first walk in. The restaurant honors their famous patrons by hanging caricatures of them on the walls. The hundreds of animated faces give The Brown Derby the unique quality that every restaurant should possess. The food is some of the best I’ve ever had at any restaurant. When it came time to order dessert, my brother asked for another filet mignon instead because the meal was so delicious. The Brown Derby is the reason that banana cream pie is now my favorite dessert and unfortunately, I have not found a banana cream pie that has lived up to the one I had at The Brown Derby. The entire experience from the venue, the food, and the wait staff was excellent. If you’re ever in Orlando, a visit to The Brown Derby is an absolute necessity. Ashley H.
