Although I'm not veg or have any allergies, it is nice to see Erica's review of dining locations and what they have to offer for her!

[@alvis-tn7uj]

He may never see this but I want to apologize to Craig, in the past I was hard on him and the team, Craig has grown into one of the most respected voices in the Disney community and his opinions have gone from "negative" to "stern but fair" A lot of the good traits PW possessed rubbed off , been a pleasure to watch the growth . Just wish we could get the studio show back but thats none of my business Been a fan since 2013 and I just want to see this channel thrive, it's been a big part of so many of our lives Hats off to you sir

[@candaceigh]

Watching the intro I was thinking “Wow Craig doesn’t usually write scripts for the videos” and then he said “I read that off the menu” and I laughed out loud. Great video and review :)

[@marthatischler6190]

Craig: Thank you for finally not wearing a hat at table in a restaurant! Great review, as usual.

[@Vaderd2k926]

Finally somebody else noticed. Drives me nuts.

[@DISUnlimited]

It’s a theme park restaurant.

[@Vaderd2k926]

@@DISUnlimited So is Victoria & Albert’s. Leave the hat in your backpack when you’re at at a sit down dinner in a Table Service restaurant.

[@kathleenswarm8564]

Oh for heaven's sake. The Brown Derby is in a theme park. Victoria & Albert is in a resort hotel and is known as the most elegant and expensive restaurant in WDW. A hat is by no means necessarily improper in a theme park restaurant.

[@Vaderd2k926]

@@kathleenswarm8564 all bets off cause it’s a theme park. It’s hot in Florida. Why not a bathing suit? It’s a theme park.

[@jcrotchfeltjr]

It's always great to see you guys review dining locations. It would be fun to see you three do dining reviews of some of the worst places to eat at in Disney World to see if they improved at all.

[@myutoob2011]

We have eaten there only once, last year, and it was terrific. The most expensive meal we've ever had because we didn't hold back, but it was worth it. Everyone should save up and eat there at least once.

[@Gemashke]

Excellent video...Craig's intro is hilarious too!

[@eazy_austin]

I work at the brown derby as a seater. Christena and I are good friends and I can’t think of anybody better to be serving y’all! I’m glad you had a great time and we hope to see you again real soon!

[@patrickbrown2280]

My favorite restaurant to go to when visiting Disney. Love the old fashioned.

[@CTPI192]

This my favorite restaurant in Disney, the quality of atmosphere and food are amazing.

[@laurenmichero9003]

So glad they ate at Brown Derby. I requested it a long time ago, and they finally went there. I do love the Cobb salad, but they have also featured a great butternut squash soup, coconut shrimp, and a really amazing burger. It seems silly to get a burger at a restaurant like this but it was one of the best I’ve had on or off property. The bread and butter is addictive too. If they have a berry or apple cobbler then try that. Their cobblers never disappoint

[@Nola_Travel]

Love the intro!! This was a lot of fun to watch ❤️

[@pattymls7384]

My favorite restaurant at WDW

[@WorkerBeeSupply]

Craig!! The HAIRCUT!! I’m INTO IT!

[@bonitak8483]

Love this review. I want to visit this restaurant but no one wants to go. I may go solo to try the cocktails and Cobb salad.

[@nefasventures]

Great review! This restaurant is amazing. The Cobb is fantastic, their soup is tasty. I love the old style cocktails and the vibe here.

[@Jubilee-Livy]

Bring back Deni ❤the dream team❤❤

[@SuzanneA618]

Top 5 Disney restaurants 🎉❤😋 I feel bad for people that don’t like grapefruit, bc that cake is one of my favorite desserts I’ve ever had in my life🎉 The side tables against the walls is the best seating ❤

[@gabemarshall6513]

Great review team!

[@kellykristine1238]

Great review! Probably the best I’ve seen you all do in a while. I love Brown Derby. We have always had excellent meals there. I had grouper once and after my son had some, he requested to go back to next day. We did not but I probably would have if we weren’t in another park the next day 😊

[@mpkenyon]

Love your shirt, Craig!

[@2Namii]

Erica will be missed. At least its for a good reason. You 3 always put out the best videos

[@brianbrown3698]

Wait, I missed it. Is Erica leaving?

[@justinschrank4806]

That business is a revolving door. Not a good sign when a company has that much turnover.

[@Lolofromno]

@@brianbrown3698 She got her dream job at Disney- it’s a happy leaving on good terms.

[@GetNLine]

Did she say something in the video about it? I don't remember her mentioning it

[@Lolofromno]

@@GetNLine It was on the disunlimited podcast show a few days ago - look for it. It like the old Tuesday show.

[@lauramisitano4780]

The photos in the gold frames were from the original restaurant.

[@lynnnovick889]

They drop like flies over there.

[@frankcarney4882]

Our favorite in park restaurant, and Jungle Navigation Co. LTD was very good this past September for our first time there

[@jayneestrycker7453]

Whatdaya mean, keeping it classy? You're already a classy guy, Ryno😊👍✌😊

[@Jimmy-Mc]

I agree with Ryno about the Bleu cheese in the Cobb salad. I usually don't like it, but mixed in the salad it works.

[@ashleighnichole8197]

I love your shirt Craig!!!

[@alandenniston8209]

Great review, Craig , Ryno and Erica make it fun. Best Wishes to Erica on her new adventures.

[@jenny71WDW]

where is Erika going??? what did I miss? 😢

[@SuzanneA618]

If you guys are on an escargot kick, try the ones at Topolinos❤

[@magicparkmemories]

I was at Brown Derby on Sunday for my son’s birthday. They raised the price of the Cobb Salad from $22 to $25 . I do not like blue cheese. I bought a $38 Mickey Mouse cake and the waitress put the cake on the table and ran away. She did not even sing Happy Birthday to my son. I was so disappointed. Disney use to give birthday cards but stopped it. The cake was dry and not worth $38. The steak dinner changed and has peppers and not potatoes and carrots.

[@hairdresser1300]

I hated my cobb salad. it was far too soggy(mush) made with over-ripe avocados, and I too hated the blue cheese. So sorry to hear they didn't recognise your son's birthday

[@ashleighnichole8197]

The texas roadhouse slander cant stand Ryno!!! Lol, we had a crappy experience at the one in Miami a couple of months ago too. But we loooove Texas Roadhouse up here in Pennsylvania! Wait, were you guys really talking about Outback? Lol im confused 😂

[@aaronrroy]

What kind of monster doesn’t like raspberries and chocolate!?

[@lauraloo29]

I always thought Lady and the Tramp was classy lol

[@tpg5974]

I had to listen to that "65 year old lady" comment a few times to make sure I heard you properly. I stopped ordering mixed drinks at Disney because they are too sugary and usually not a good value. Not that a $9 beer is...

[@MikhaelJames]

Texas Roadhouse review please

[@tdadp]

I been on so many time from the N via 2nd Ave st F vis G 5. Via 2 line

[@Jeff-bv1ek]

Craig, next time your barber is holding a bowl along with his scissors, get the hell out of there fast.

[@bobschmidt8122]

My wife and I had two opposite experiences there this past September. We went to the lounge and had one of the best dining experiences ever. She had the cobb salad and I had the roasted chicken with Gnudi. Absolutely incredible. I just had a beer but my wife loved her Margarita. Two days later we were able to snag a reservation in the restaurant for lunch. So disappointing! So loud. the charcuterie board was sub par. It looked pathetic when it arrived. We had ordered the filet for our entrees which showed up about three minutes after they delivered the appetizer. The cocktails were very light on the pours versus at the lounge. When they brought out the entrees after we finished apps, they were luke warm at best and the filets looked grey. SO surprising and disappointing after the experience we had at the lounge. Will definitely go back to the lounge to see if we can repeat our original experience.

[@alexandriajohnson6656]

I'm missing Erica Already 😢 But I'm so happy for her 😊

[@marilynkozlow8400]

That salad looks more like a chopped salad than a Cobb salad.

[@user-cw1zb5fe7i]

Erica will be good for Dizzy. Her vlogs are her resume. There’s not much more to say other than Ryno will be sad as I feel they are soulmates.

[@susantownsend8397]

I like a Cobb salad but $25? Okay, the Brown Derby is one of those special places where you just ignore the prices and enjoy. But I want to sit inside.

[@jojob7549]

Who is Ryan? I'm sure it's been years since I've heard any of you call him that lol

[@michellespear1761]

The plant based meal did have too many lentils for sure. And I also like lentils. It was lacking in flavor. I didn't love our service and the atmosphere for me felt too dark and dated. With a bit of better lighting there is potential. My friends did not order plant based food and they both thought their food was meh.

[@metsphan1023]

I’m only 1/3 through the video and this bill has to be $300 easy

[@wbsouthton]

$40 pork chop and broccoli rabe, lol.

[@Malvito]

My wife and I went to this on our 2013 Late Honeymoon. I was gobsmacked at it's swankiness; I apologized to the Very Nicely Suited Maître d' for befouling their beautiful restaurant with my blue-jeaned-Hawaiian-shirted self. (He just laughed and asked if I was comfortable; I noted, yes, relatively ; he said, "I'm not.") I was also gobsmacked by the restrooms; they were the fanciest restrooms in which I had ever done my duty. I had brought my camera to get pictures of our dinners (to use as proof that we had actually eaten this way); I considered taking pics of the swanky restroom but was pretty sure that this would lead to being escorted off the property by security. (OK, it was Hollywood Studios, so the local security might have been the Keystone Kops, but I wouldn't want to be dropped on the ground by that group.) When I had made the reservation, several months previously, from home in Missouri, I had noted that my wife had several food allergies. One of the chefs from the kitchen came to our table and knelt down next to my wife's chair to get with her on any substitutions. I still get verklempt when I reminisce about that. I hope that we can dine there again, someday. (This is not an establishment where one "eats"; one "dines".) Addendum: BTW, the lettuce on the Cobb Salad is most likely a Romaine. Possibly with some spinach.

[@tresgriffin8242]

Just realized that Craig is wearing the same shirt that Ryno wore last week in the Biergarten review. I think a "Who Wore It Better" poll is in order. 🤣🤣🤣 (It's a tie in my book, though!)

[@MrShooter72]

What a juicy cake….

[@larkendelvie]

Bottom line - are you going to go back to order any item?

[@aaronrroy]

Moist?

[@shannonmiller5618]

Not sure we would spend the cash on a meal like this. There are better choices at Disney Springs.

[@justinschrank4806]

Easily the most overrated restaurant at wdw. One of the worst meals I've ever had on property
