| - For my first dining experience in Phoenix, Derby impressed me. From the looks of the Yelp reviews, Derby has only been open a month or so but you couldn't tell by dining there.
Everyone was helpful, from our waitress who checked in on us multiple times to refill our drinks to the manager who kindly changed the station on our booth's personal tv. Speaking of which, having an individual small tv in each booth was a nice touch, especially for game days when you may just be wanting to watch one game that isn't the "big" game of the day.
For dinner, my boyfriend and I ordered three of the side dishes: the sweet potato gnocchi, curly fries and a side salad. We had a large lunch and were looking for something to snack on. This was the perfect solution! The curly fries were deliciously crispy and went great with ranch for dipping. The side salad was a good sized portion of mixed greens, which made me feel better about eating the curly fries. My boyfriend and our friends loved the sweet potato gnocchi.
In addition to the many televisions throughout the restaurant, there are also other ways to entertain yourself. There are games, including checkers, Jenga and cards, to play at your table as well as skee-ball and darts in the back of the restaurant.
The decor is nice and I loved the look of the sunken bar in the middle of the restaurant. The waitress' houndstooth patterned outfits were super cute too!
My only complaint is that it gets loud, at least during game nights, but that's to be expected and not really the restaurant's fault. Just a warning though.
