Another Brown Derby Question

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

I saw on Disney's website that Brown Derby changed their appetizers menu. I had planned on trying the tuna tartare salad but its been taken off the menu. Also, the crab cakes are gone, they have a crab spring roll now.

Was just wondering if anyone has had the Cobb Salad appetizer lately and how it was?

Wow...I can't believe an appetizer is that big:mickey:

Cobb salad is quite large and yummy.
On our last visit we had such a bad experience that we will never go back again.
Exceptionally long wait for ressie.
Painfully slow service from our waiter. Seemed to be the norm for all wait staff that day.
Never had our drinks refilled.
With the wait outside, our dinner took 4 hours out of our evening.
I could go on and on.
The perfect end to our meal was there was no toilet paper in several stalls.
Seriously, very messy and no paper in a signature restaurant restroom. Could not believe it.
If you decide to dine at the Derby, better bring your own paper just to be safe.
I am not usually one to complain. This was the only sour note on our 9 day trip but it was a big one.

The Cobb salad was good, and it is the original, but not what I was expecting. I was expecting more of what I've come to know as "Cobb Salad" in other restaurants- a lot of fresh crisp greens, big pieces of chicken, egg, avocado on top. The original Brown Derby Cobb is more of a chopped salad, very fine chop, and more meat then greens, and wilted greens not big crisp leaves. I'm not sure I would order it again. Honestly, I did prefer other appetizers there. But because their Cobb is the original Cobb, I had to try it once. Similarly, their grapefruit cake.

I hope it was just an off day:(

Well you just summed up my dilemma...I really would like to try it because its their signature dish but don't want to be disappointed and saying I wish I had ordered something else....:unsure:

Sorry to add to the dilemma. It was my dilemma while there, too. The Cobb used to be a two person appetizer, so you might have to convince someone to order it with you. It has a lot of fans, so you might be one who loves it. I liked it well enough, but not that enthusiastically. Still glad I tried it once, so now might be the time.

Well, if its still a two person appetizer that will be an easy decision as I know the other two won't go for it:blush: I was thinking about trying the new crab spring rolls too:mickey: Decisions, decisions:drama:
