Review of Brown Derby Lunch/Dinner

If you go, save your dining credits and just order the COBB SALAD. It's amazing, and pretty much the only thing that was outstanding. I regret spending double table credits for something that I could have just bought. The triple pork plate just didn't look appealing, but server Tim was outstanding. Trust me, just buy the Cobb Salad and the dessert trio.
Pros:
Ohmygoodness the COBB SALAD!!!Cons:

I probably should have known that a 6:15 reservation here would not work out well. Close to park closing, the servers were rushing around trying to clean things up for the night. I was seated at a table against the wall near the kitchen and it was noisy and busy. I ordered a wine flight, oak fired mussels and the steak with Tuscan mashed potatoes instead of mac & cheese. Took a while for bread and olive oil to arrive, then the mussels and wine flight quickly followed. Mussels were a bit tough, but had good flavor. Server briefly told me what each of the wines were. My main course came out not long after and was delivered by another server who did not bring a steak knife. I had to wait for my server to finally come and ask how things were before I got said knife. Steak was good, as were mashed potatoes, but I have to wonder why there wasn't any kind of vegetable. All in all a rather uncomfortable dining situation with all the rushing around me and all the noise.

I've always preferred the Pop Century over the last ten years, because you're just there to shower and sleep, right?
WRONG-- this hotel is always the furthest bus station at the parks, and the rooms feel dirty. Save up your money and go Moderate...it's worth it.
Pros:
Cheap. That's about it.Cons:

We were excited to try this moderate as we enjoyed Coronado Springs a few years ago but we were very disappointed with this resort.
CONS: long check in (room not available until late), not enough people working outside with baggage etc.., room was clean where you looked but not behind tv dresser where I dropped something (yuck!!), no special mouse-keeping animals for my DD, air conditioner had strange rattle that happened after it ran for awhile (loud enough to wake you up), bathroom constantly smelled like sewage (close door and run fan - disgusting!) , food court was nothing special and not enough healthy choices like fruit and cheese plate etc.. resort pathways wander aimlessly, buses were unreliable as times kept changing and some never showed up (the worst of any resort we have been to),
PROS: Room was quiet enough with courtyard view (martinique), close to a bus stop, pool area fine, hot tubs (2) fine, small towels though, queen beds are comfortable, lots of pillows,
This resort is an overpriced Value resort with queen beds.
It was clean and had pretty surroundings but nothing special or outstanding that would make you return. From our experience we would NOT return nor recommend CB.
Pros:
Queen BedsCons:

We had dinner (steak/ shrimp, duck, steak) with wasabi potatoes (just ok), stir fry veggies (one dish had what looked like frozen veggie mix?) - steaks were cooked exactly to our liking, shrimps were small, - desserts were sorbet, mango pie and pineapple cake with pineapple cake being the big winner! This restaurant would be a decent choice for someone not wanting to leave the park to eat.
Pros:
better drink choices (pina colada)Cons:

We are done with buffets! Only came here to see characters in a Christmas setting but this was disappointing. Bare minimum decorations, bland food, crowded and had to wait after meal to make sure we saw all characters as our little area was almost forgotten about. I thought we would have some Christmas food and festive atmosphere but none to be found. We did get the fantasmic package but we should have eaten at Mama Mia's.

We only came to see the characters in a jungle environment. The food was basic and this will be the last trip where we eat anything buffet or family style. We never did see Minnie, we were lost in a corner but everyone else managed to visit except her. They seemed to run out of stuff quickly. It fills you up but is not a great food experience like others.

Lovely little lunch place - line went quickly - ate outside and enjoyed 3 flatbread pizzas - pepperoni, cheeseburger and mediteranian - no one wanted to share theirs! small salad almost tastes like a salsa but good alone or on pizza! - desserts were same as usual and so were drinks - would eat here again!

We ate here for lunch and dinner (5 days apart). We got the same room both times (statue room)...ate shrimp and scallop pasta - basic sauce and some shrimp with 2 scallops - not bad but nothing wow - had 8-9 scallops at Teppan Edo and they were awesome! - Lamb eater had the lamb but preferred it at Raglan Road - dessert was orange eclair, puff and grey stuff - the grey stuff won hands down - tastes like oreos or something familiar - dinner was ok to try once but not enough to entice us back again. DD did not want to wait in line for the picture with the beast - she had enough waiting on a super busy day!
Pros:

I know there are many food choices in Epcot but this one is fantastic! We loved the entertainment and we ate scallops (2) and steak with shrimp (1), we also ordered tuna appetizer to try and DH is now in love with seared tuna!!
Desserts were green tea ice cream, green tea cake, ginger cake - all great!
This was THE BEST meal we had at Disney and we would have eaten here again and again had we known. We will return!!
