| - I've visited this Brown Derby occasionally since it opened as a Brown Derby Roadhouse, though it's been months since I've been there. If the food and service were consistently good, I'd probably visit once a week because I do love their food when it's done well. I didn't have a BAD meal tonight, but when dinner for one costs $20.53 plus another $4 for a tip, the meal should be close to perfect.
First, the Coke tasted like it had some other flavor mixed in. Next up was the salad, which is the thing that normally makes me want to go to the Brown Derby. All the ingredients tonight were room temperature. On a 92-degree day, you want a refreshing cold salad, not a room temperature one.
I had the grilled shrimp with a baked potato. The potato was absolutely perfect, and the shrimp I would give an 8 out of 10.
Now for my two main issues based on this visit. First, the restaurant was warm. As I said, it's 92 degrees out, and although I wasn't hot, I was definitely uncomfortable. My keychain thermometer said it was 82. I complained, as did the guests at the next table. If your A/C is broken, hang a sign on the door and give people the chance to go somewhere else. If you're just trying to save money by setting your thermostat at 82, you're shooting yourself in the foot.
Second, my server Jess/Jessica was very good; however, she continually called me sweetie or honey. I'm absolutely certain she did not mean it this way, but I personally find that offensive, condescending, and off-putting. I'll never understand why people in any facet of the service industry think it is ok to do that.
