Jina was fabulous. She was very patient and accommodating with my rowdy group celebrating a birthday. The meatloaf and ettouffee were excellent as well as the meatball appetizer. Definitely plan on coming back. read more

Great place for anyone who loves cars or car culture. But not just that. Great food too. We sat at the bar and got some cocktails and snacks Bartenders were very welcoming. We got a Dr Pepper cocktail but I can't remember the name It tasted JUST like Dr Pepper Small wine list too which is nice. I got the burrata appetizer which was light and delicious but the star was the mom's meatloaf- just outstanding Nicely crafted cocktails and you can book a tour to see the cars on display up close But even if you don't do the tour , you can see them from the dining area A really fun place to take visitors to the dallas area or just for something different on date night. read more

Great service and really cool atmosphere. Unique spot with beautiful cars to look at while you eat. I will definitely go back

Such an interesting venue. Love that you can take a tour of the garage and able to see the cars from the restaurant. The food was great, the service wasn't. It took our server about 15 minutes to take our drinks and then was sitting down in one of the booths so we didn't get our drinks for another 15. read more

Went to the Derby to celebrate a birthday and it was a really cool experience. Inside, there's a barbershop, restaurant, gift shop, and a showroom featuring everything from antique to exotic cars. The restaurant is located right on the showroom floor, so guests can dine while enjoying the view. There's also a members-only area above the restaurant where people can gather, eat, and hang out. The service was great from start to finish from the host at the entrance to the restaurant staff and the barber. I kept it simple with the food and tried the cheeseburger, buffalo wings, and shrimp Caesar salad. All were good. Overall, a unique spot that I'd definitely recommend, especially for people who appreciate car aesthetics. read more

We went on Friday around 11 when they open mainly to see the cars they have. We were first introduced with a Ferrari which was pretty cool and their mini gift shop. We were sat down immediately without reservations. The service was friendly! We didn't order much as we were planning to have lunch somewhere else so we got the sticky toffee date pudding and some coffee. The toffee pudding was good and warm. I would definitely come back for the ambiance and try some of their other menu items whenever I come back to Dallas! read more

My dear family treated me here for my birthday dinner! Gina waited on us & Joshua assisted! It's a cool car & truck paradise; they have restos & collectible vehicles on display- which are also for sale. The dining area & restrooms are super sano! Service is top notch; Gina our server explained the menu thoroughly. The appetizers & main entrees were all cooked to perfection. House IPA was very good- I ordered 2 thru the course of our stay. There is a members only upstairs which also serves as a dining area. There are tours for the displayed vehicles & they've got an in house barber shop. Plenty of parking outside. Overall, WE all had a great exchange! Can't wait to revisit!!! Thank You Derby Restaurant, Gina, Joshua & Staff! read more

The derby was a great time! Pairing with the tour and brunch after was perfect. Though they were busy on a Saturday, our waitress was quick and the dishes were good! I heard mix reviews about the food but I did enjoy the breakfast tots and chicken and waffles. We sat by the window so it was a great view to look out at the cars. read more

My out-of-town mother-in-law had sent a story about the Derby restaurant to us as something cool to do. When my in-laws came to visit in November, they flew into Love Field, and with the Derby restaurant being less than 10 minutes away from the airport, I thought it was the perfect way to kick off their visit. The cars are something to see, but they did say that tours of the garage are only on Saturdays and Sundays. They offer a nice selection of food from small bites to bigger meals. Everything we got was delicious. My mother-in-law said the Wayugu burger was incredible. And my fish and chips were very good and not overly greasy. My husband and his dad both got the brisket grilled cheese and raved about it. The staff was friendly and attentive. And the whole restaurant was immaculately clean. Highly recommend for a dining experience whether you're just looking for a fun evening now or a place to entertain your out of town guests. read more

If you like good food and are a car enthusiast, this is your place to check out. The Derby is co-located with "The Shop" which is really a country club of sorts for gearheads. All kinds of cool and unique rides to check out while you wait for your meal. The Derby serves "elevated southern comfort food". Menu consists of a nice variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and main entrees along with a selection of desserts. Staff was friendly, fairly quick and informative about the different dishes. Went with a group and everyone tried something different. We tried the Cuban Sandwich, Pork Tenderloin, Meatloaf, shrimp Pasta and a few other things. Everyone said all was tasty. Full bar is available as well. Don't let the warehouse vibe from outside be off putting. Really with a try. Check it out. read more

Car and motorcycle enthusiasts, you are missing out if you haven't been here! Derby restaurant is located inside "The Shop", a state of the art facility for car and motorcycles in which they offer secured storage, detailing service, valet, and everything you can ask for for your precious vehicles. You can enjoy food and alcohol while enjoying a view to the shop. The food is very decent here with seasonal menu by chef Charles Withers. (4.5/5) Matts Bad Ass Bacon Three big slices of thick bacon with maple, cayenne, Maldon salt. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and pairs so wonderfully with beer. (4/5) Derby Filet-O-Fish I'm a sucker for filet o fish, especially from McDonald's. This is like the fancy and premium version, and the fried cod was crispy and soft. I do wish they didn't put so much lettuce so I can taste the fish better. The fries that it comes with were perfection, bumping it up to 4 instead of 3.5 read more

Wow, what an absolute hidden gem! I had the best time here celebrating life and our cousin's birthday with my family. The vibe was perfect fun, welcoming, and truly family-friendly. KC was our server they were amazing with recommendations, and everything we tried was spot-on. Extremely patient with us our family can be a bit much lol! The food was so good I didn't even stop to take pictures that's how much we enjoyed it! I tried a bit of everyone's meal I had chicken fried steak the gravy the gravyyyyyy. The plates that didn't stand a chance at being to gos: the chicken sandwich, the wagyu burger, derby breakfast & that bacon appetizer! I'm convinced it came straight farm to table it was amazing! Even though I'm just visiting, it's clear why this place has been around for years. Derby Restaurant is definitely a spot I'll be coming back too I've already told my dad we have a date and my brother in law we will be doing a surprise party for him. Perfect for families, celebrations, or just a great night out. Highly recommend! 10/10 Oh & for your car & bike lovers I didn't experience the tour but they have so many unique cars in the collection & it's only $5 for kids $15 for adults and birthday folks get a free tour! I did purchase a souvenir glass cup though but again I'll be back! read more

A must for car and motorcycle enthusiasts of all stripes and ages. Service is first rate. Everybody enjoyed their brunch (Caesar w/ steak, Eggs Benny, Salmon & Eggs). Definitely book the tour. I think they made a saleas well, as I have needed a nearby place to store my vintage Mach 1. And it will make a terrific story for their tour. read more

The restaurant's ambience is cool, but the food isn't anything special. We tried the wings, wagyu burger and chicken sandwich- everything was good but not great. No dishes really stood out- just sort of safe/standard American restaurant type food with slightly better quality. The staff was amazing and made the experience really enjoyable, so overall it's worth a try! read more

Derby Restaurant - View - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Derby is hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in Dallas! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and upscale without being pretentious. The food was absolutely phenomenal -- every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. But what really made the night unforgettable was our server, Tasia. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. She anticipated everything we needed without us even having to ask and made us feel so taken care of. Tasia's service elevated the entire experience and made our dinner feel special. If you're in Dallas and want a place with incredible food and top-notch service, Derby is it. The beautiful members vehicles on display add to the atmosphere. Be sure to ask for Tasia -- she's amazing! read more

This was our first time here. Took part in the shop tour ($15 per person). There was a party upstairs so it was a little too loud to hear the guide speaking, but loved seeing the cars! We both ate the fried chicken with grits, could use more flavor. Staff were friendly but service was slow. It took quite a while to get our drinks and food and it wasn't that busy in the dining area. Enjoyed the venue overall. read more

My boyfriend is a huge car guy and has been wanting to go. When you first walk in the place looks so cool! Little gift shop and bar and then you walk up to the host stand which is a tool box (love the attention to detail) just gives the whole place a fun and awesome vibe. However the service is very much lacking. We sat down and watched as other tables were searching for their waitresses before we even got talked to. We sat for maybe 10-15 min before our waitress brought us water and took our drink orders before running away. And yes literally running because neither I or my boyfriend could get the words out to say we were ready to order everything at this point. So we waited. The restaurant is really cool atmosphere wise as you look out thru a glass wall at all of these amazing cars. But you can only look at the cars for so long to where you are wondering how long it takes to bring an iced tea and a can of cider from the bar. About another 10+ minutes and she brings not only our drinks but a tray of drinks for some of our other tables saying she would be right back to take our order. So we waited again. She did come back after dropping off drinks and we ordered an appetizer and my boyfriend got the wagyu burger and I got the BLT. As we were waiting for our appetizer, we noticed all other tables were continuously looking or trying to track down their waitress. I saw one guy eventually get up and go over to the waitress stand and get his own hot sauce. And another walk up to the stand and refill their own water. I don't know how long we waited for our food at this point but our entrees came and our appetizer never did. So we asked about it and she said oh crap give me a minute and brought over our appetizer with our meal. Which is fine but that now means our food is getting cold while we eat the appetizer but not the end of the world. My boyfriend also ordered a side of mayo for his burger with his meal. It didn't come so he asked for it again when his meal was brought. Took another 10 minutes to get a side of mayo. At this point his burger was cold but he was hungry so ate it. He said the burger was cooked amazing but had no flavor or seasoning on it. The we got Matt's bad ass bacon as an appetizer and it was delicious with super thick cut bacon and I had the same thick cut bacon on my BLT. My sandwich was good. We also got fries and they were super delicious. I told my boyfriend if we come back I would get a side of fries and the bacon and call it a day lol. So then it came time to pay, I had noticed most waitresses would swipe and stand there and wait to watch you put in your tip. Maybe it's just me but that's uncomfortable to watch someone to make sure they tip you. My boyfriend told her she could leave the machine at the table which she did but that was not the norm for everyone else in the restaurant. I will say everyone was super friendly but just so slow and the lack of attention to detail was simply not good. The concept of this place is awesome, the atmosphere awesome, the food ok could be great with minor tweaks, and the service needs a major overhaul. All in all we will be back but maybe just for an appetizer and a beer when we come for a tour next time. read more

You really have to be a car enthusiast to find five stars in this place to be honest. The food had good intentions, but the flavor and quality just wasn't there for me. I have food that came out. It was cold. Brussels sprouts weren't cooked all the way through and the pork entrée that I ordered the plating was a mess. It wasn't what I saw online. Which honestly threw off the taste experience for me. It was giving one scale above Applebee's with a more luxurious presentation. The ambience was nice nice decor is on brand. The best part about the menu for me was the new blackberry Jack Daniel's cocktail the waiter suggested. I did go for a birthday. So the birthday girl had a chance to tour their garage of cars that members are allowed to host there. Maybe because it was towards end of the day and there wasn't much enthusiasm about the tour now that I'm looking for a circus act but don't just quickly walk me around in a tight circle and then charge me for it at least let it be as long as a $1/ min ijs. In other words when it comes to the car tours, there is more that they can add to embellish the customers experience and it wouldn't cost them time or money. read more

Food was good. The French Toast was awesome. Loaded tot very good and the chicken fried steak was good. The only downfall were the potatoes. They were cooked well and seasoned, I'm just not a fan of those type of potatoes read more

We had the private room, 1 server was ok, the other one was great. Very cool place, loved the tour that was offered. I feel there are a lot of brunch options, I would be back for dinner. I got the derby breakfast, asked for over medium eggs, got over hard eggs...not good. Other than that, the potatoes, toast & ham were very delicious. The chicken fried steak was ok but weird that eggs are not included with the meal since biscuits & gravy are included read more

What a great find! A business colleague showed me this place one day when the restaurant wasn't open, and I had vowed to bring my car-loving son back as soon as possible. I knew he would love the environment, but had no idea the restaurant experience would be so great. We went on a Saturday afternoon, around 12:00. The hostess asked if we had reservations, which we did not. However, she was able to seat us within five minutes. During our time there five different wait people checked on us, refilled our drinks and generally made us feel extremely welcome. The badass bacon was delicious. A bit salty, but the syrup glaze cut the salt perfectly. The omelette was perfect and my son's chicken fried steak was huge, and he loved it. I highly recommend taking a tour of the car storage facility. It's ten dollars a person and runs every half hour, at least on Saturday. The young man giving our tour knew lots about cars in general, and then also had interesting stories about some of the vehicles stored there and their owners. 10/10 I highly recommend this place. read more

The food is actually really good . The garage was the reason I came , the restaurant was just a cherry on top.

A friend recommended Derby for our anniversary dinner. Sadly the menu online was not the menu in the restaurant so we were moderately disappointed in the food options. Interestingly enough the only sides available for the entrees were either fries or Caesar salad. The appetizers were tasty but the rest of the meal was definitely middle of the road. Atmosphere is cool and enjoyable. Staff are super friendly and available. I also dislike places that add gratuity for a party of 6. Seriously??!! The place wasn't even half full. read more

My boyfriend & I came here for date night & we're not disappointed! He is a huge car guy so being able to check out the garage while eating was a very cool touch. Sometimes places with extra special ambiance can rely on that to drive in costumers and have subpar food but not here! The meatloaf & mashed potato's were like the warm hug I didn't know I needed & the Wagyu burger was to die for. On Sundays they have tours into the garage & we will definitely be back to try out the brunch! read more

Restaurant and garage?! Such a cool place! Very unassuming from the outside but as soon as you walk in I bet you'll say "oh wow!!". There are tons of really nice cars in the garage area and there's even a barbershop! Please note you can only do garage tours on weekends (unless you're a member), but you can still go inside the garage and stay in the viewing area which is cool too. Customer service was great and friendly and surprisingly the food was damn good! The venison corn dogs were different (in a good way lol), queso was hittin' too! For an entree, I couldn't choose, so I got the chicken ravioli AND the crispy chicken sandwich (the bf and I split this one :) ). I enjoyed the ravioli a lot, the sauce was lovely! The chicken sandwich definitely had some kick! I also tried my bf's brisket tacos - the smoke flavor was really good but the tacos were kinda greasy so not my fav. This is a really fun, casual place for a fun date night. Definitely recommend! read more

The Views of the cars and motorcycles is great -- which is why you come here, right? Servers / staff were very nice. Food was good (not great).

This is a really unique restaurant tucked away inside a car club. You don't have to be a member of the car club to eat there but you do get to feast your eyes on all of the fancy/classic cars & motorcycles inside from the glass wall along the one side of the restaurant. While there are no vegan items marked on the menu, they were able to accommodate me in our large group. The chef made a mushroom empanada for me with a salsa verde and a warm orzo slaw - it was really delicious. Service was great with our large group as well. I would highly recommend this place!
