Derby is a fun place to eat, a great atmosphere and tasty food. We especially loved the Brunch options.

Had a great breakfast before going to the Seahawks game. Also took a tour of the garage and enjoyed seeing all of the awesome collector cars.
Roman Wakefield
Highly professional and courteous. Would definitely recommend!

The car viewing is a fun idea, but you can't walk amongst them without paying extra. The food was okay and definitely not worth $25 per person, then they add extra fees on the bill without letting you know ahead of time. It's a shocking surprise, and not a good one.

What an incredibly unique dining experience! The Derby and The Shop offers something you won’t find anywhere else in Seattle - the chance to dine surrounded by classic cars in their storage area. We hosted a private party here and were blown away by both the atmosphere and the food. The venue is perfect for special events. The car storage setting creates an unexpectedly cool and fun backdrop that had our guests talking all night. It’s industrial yet welcoming, making for great conversation starters and photo opportunities. The food definitely lived up to the unique setting. The appetizers during our cocktail hour were excellent quality and well-presented. For dinner, the chicken and waffles were absolutely outstanding - perfectly crispy chicken with fluffy waffles that hit all the right notes. The bulgogi lettuce wraps were another standout, offering fresh, flavorful Korean-inspired bites with tender, well-seasoned meat. Service was attentive throughout our event, and the staff handled our private party seamlessly. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience that combines great food with an automotive twist, The Derby and The Shop delivers. Highly recommended for anyone wanting something different from the typical Seattle restaurant scene.

Four generations of family could enjoy all that The Derby and the car museum had to offer.

Just awful. I was so excited to come here, but the food was bland, and service took forever. Also, our server completely ignored our drink order. We got our food fairly quick, but took 3 attempts asking for the check for it to arrive. Not sure what’s going on there but yeah, very disappointing. Definitely won’t be back.

The worst service at the coolest place. We should have had a great experience. No cooler space but the staff was more than unfriendly, forgetful and annoyed at us being there. Too bad for owners. They should ditch this staff and leverage a great venue space and good food. Won't go back based solely on bad service.

Their new fee policy is horrid. They should be ashamed of themselves. The ownership of Derby continually misses the mark. The staff have always been very polite, but obviously overworked. The food is okay to good. I would not recommend Derby, at the very least until they eliminate their fee policy.

Unfortunately it wasn't staffed properly gor the home opener Hawks game. Took over 45 minutes to get our drinks and I actually had to go grab it myself. Not the service teams fault, they were understaffed.
The food is awesome which makes up for the steep pricing and non-standard service fee structure. I do think the restaurant business is a tough one and this set up at the car club is worth paying a premium for. It's an awesome place at the end of the day and the staff are fantastic.

Bring cash. Someone decided that servers don't deserve tips from people who use cards.

By far the worst service I have every received at a restaurant. The food was terrible as well. The place was clean and the cars were cool, but not worth going there.
