The Hollywood Brown Derby

Dine in an authentic replica of the famous Brown Derby, a Tinseltown landmark steeped in glamour and glitz. The walls are adorned with caricatures of famous faces—a tradition that began with the original restaurant—and the upscale atmosphere harkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Open for lunch and dinner you’ll love the Hollywood vibe and history on the menu like their famous Cobb salad that follows the recipe created by Bob Cobb, owner of the historic California Brown Derby.

Table service is defined as any sit down restaurant with a server or a buffet experience. The two categories above (fine dining and character dining) are also included in table service.

However, we will mention a new favorite in this section to give you even more delectable options to consider during your Walt Disney World vacation.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

The ambiance here simply can’t be beat. This blast from the past is an all-American eatery themed like a drive in movie.

Bring your appetite for dinner and a show '50s-style at this drive-in "theater," featuring all-American cuisine and sci-fi movie clips.

Enter the Hollywood-style soundstage as a classic car hop guides you to your very own automo-booth or table. Kitschy vintage memorabilia, the illuminated tail lights of your fellow drive-in diners and a sky full of twinkling stars set the mood as you place your order.

Pull up to a car-shaped booth or table and chow down at the “drive-in” playing thrilling, chilling sci-fi scenes. It’s always showtime at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant, where you’ll find scrumptious items on the menu and scary clips on the screen: attacking aliens, marauding mummies, rampaging robots and more. (Remember, don’t scream with your mouth full!)

Our concierge team works at all hours to snag hard to secure dining reservations like Be Our Guest and Cinderella’s Royal Table. What’s even better—our service is free when you book a qualified Walt Disney World vacation package with us at Get Away Today.
