Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge

So, we've eaten in the actual restaurant, but I'm thinking about the lounge for lunch this Friday. I'm always nervous about ADRs on our arrival day. We're supposed to get into Orlando around 9am, so I'm willing to take the risk on our dinner ADR for that day (Yachtsman), but lunch is a different story. It looks mainly like light bites on the lounge menu - which is good for lunch for our eating habits - and it looks like a nice variety of drinks (good for our sanity ). Has anyone eaten in the lounge and have any thoughts?

We ate a late lunch in the lounge once a few years ago mostly because DW wanted a cocktail. DW had a side car, DS a teen had a Shirley Temple and I had a bud light. DW and I had the Cobb Salad; DS had the mussels, the only thing on the menu he would eat. Other than salad, cheeses and some seafood appetizers there isn’t a lot on the lounge menu. We usually get in around noon and for our first day lunch we usually either do counter service e.g. Cosmic Rays or Pecos Bill’s or try our luck at the Plaza, Kona Café or Grand Floridian Café.

Yea, didn't look like a huge menu, but I could see DH trying the sliders and I think I could be happy between the assorted cheeses and the duck tacos. We shall see. We're just going to be in DHS so figured might as well try something new.

You can order anything off the regular menu out there as well - just ask your server for the menu!

I was hoping someone would say that I'd seen that you could request the grapefruit cake, but I wasn't sure about the remainder of the menu. Ok, well this is sounding like a good first day lunch plan

We overheard a server at the Cali Grill lounge tell his patrons that they can order off the regular menu too. Fun facts!

I'm thinking about the HBD lounge for dinner after an ADR at Boma for breakfast and possibly lunch from Flame Tree later in the afternoon in AK. My schedule has me hopping to HS late afternoon.

We actually at the HBD lounge yesterday. It was AWESOME!!! We had like 3 different menus in front of us...so tons to choose from. There was a line just before noon and we were lucky enough to get one of the last tables. Had a great CM serving us too...his name was Fonzie!

So that's where he went! He's been our server quite a few times over the years and we missed him last month.
