About Brown Derby Road House

The Brown Derby Road House is a popular restaurant that has been enjoyed by many for over a year, with families and groups dining there once or twice a month. The food is described as fantastic, with the cowboy steak being a highlight, known for its large size and great flavor. Other menu items such as potato skins, rolls, salad, and cheesecake also receive high praise. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a good value for diners. The restaurant can get busy during holidays, so it is recommended to make reservations in advance.

The service is quick, even during busy hours, as evidenced by a party of three being served right away on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere is fun and rustic, with a vibe that mixes elements of Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse, and Longhorn. Customers often comment on the friendly staff, which contributes to the overall great dining experience. The restaurant has its own parking lot, making it convenient for visitors. Recent reviews mention the great atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious meals like French onion soup, hearty burgers, and steak salad. Many appreciate the large portions, especially the cowboy steak and burgers cooked to liking, with some noting the flavor of the steaks is fantastic even if slightly overcooked.

First-time visitors, who were in town for the AMA races, found the food served quickly and correctly, with Becca providing excellent service. They plan to return when in town again. Long-time customers drive nearly two hours just to enjoy the food, noting that the steaks are always great and the house salad is delicious. Recent reviews also highlight the all-you-can-eat salad, which was very good and appreciated. One guest enjoyed the steak special, although the steamed vegetables—mainly carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, and peppers—were not to their taste. Their wife enjoyed her chicken, prepared exactly as requested. Overall, everything was reasonably priced, and the attentive waitress made the visit enjoyable.
