    Derby's is a new sports bar in Middletown with ample seating and TVs to catch a game and eat. Aside from getting our drinks, the wait for our food was pretty long. My pork ribeye was tender, and the bourbon BBQ sauce gave it a nice flavor. The cream of crab soup was delicious and, to my surprise, not short on crab meat.

    Was a little confused walking into a bar restaurant that served both breakfast and an assortment for lunch, but had a pleasant time overall. The restaurant got busier going into the later afternoon, so at times it was hard to hear the staff. There is both an inside and outside seating area, which is a great option when the weather is nice! Our waitress was quick, friendly, and didnt hover over us (which is nice when you're trying to have conversations). The food, overall, was very much ok. Nothing grand but also wasnt horrible. The fried pickle was a good sharin app, the bacon burger was a nice hefty patty, the french dip was good, the crab cake sandwich was good but there was too much bread to meat, and the fried crispy chicken wrap was fine. Again, no big complaints on the food, but also nothing wowed us to want to come back for more.

    Such a mixed review & experience. We made reservations for Sunday brunch and glad we did as the…read moreplace got crowded quickly. On one hand I want to try again for dinner but for the price, I'm not sure it's worth it. Pros: Amazing service - very attentive server(s); we had one in training/shadowing and she was just as good as our primary server, offering refills, clearing plates, overall greet banter Cocktails are fantastic - had the Minnie Ripperton and loved it - creamy yet refreshing and bright which is a tough combo to achieve Cons: Hidden entrance - after circling what looked like an abandoned building 2x we finally figured out the entrance was in the backy and down a set of stairs. I now understand the "speakeasy vibe" but the clutter in the front made the building look abandoned or under construction; not a great start to the experience for us Food service - the other couple we were dining with got their entrees about 10 minutes before ours and we were some of the first orders & diners of the day. Usually you might hold the whole table or refire some of the dishes so it all comes out at the same time. They finished theirs before we even got our to start, making it a strange eating experience Small print menu - with the low light of the speakeasy, the menu had the teeeeniest print I've ever seen making it very difficult to read the menu options. We also didn't realize that the menu changes/is seasonal (not called out on the website) so many of the items we had wanted to try were not an available option. I love a menu that changes but hope it's indicated on the website (aka: sample menu, subject to seasonal change) Hit-n-miss: Fried chicken Benedict- huge portions, amazing biscuits and perfectly poached (but unseasoned?) eggs. I don't know if the hollandaise soaked into the fried chicken or never existed at all - and that's the thing you want with a Benedict. If it existed, it never reached the biscuits because while they were good, but were completely dry Shrimp and grits - perfectly cooked, great consistency, but very under-seasoned Water - just an observation and maybe it's just the local tap water flavor but it tasted off or as off the soap hadn't been washed from the glasses Pro Tip: be aware of the automatic gratuity in some circumstances; if you don't know, check the website before your meal!

    I have to go with the majority of other reviewers on a few things here. To start very greasy food,…read moredefinitely low country style dinners here but SO good. Totally worth trying and you will leave soo full. The server was nice and this place was jamming all night. Very tight inside so definitely a cool date spot. It's dark in here, like old people with the phone flashlight dark but I didn't mind honestly. The only thing that threw me off was this bathtub drink... You won't finish your food but you'll be excited for left overs !

We got two drinks and they were both superb. I wish I had gotten a picture or even remembered the name of it but they certainly did the job. I got the habanero chicken slider and my boyfriend got the cheesesteak. They both came with fries and were delicious. I will say for the price, I was expecting the portion size to be a tad bit bigger or fuller however the taste was amazing. It was seasoned well and super juicy. The fries were my absolute favorite kind of fries too!

The bathrooms are always clean as well. When you first come in, you choose what type of water you'd like; tap, spring, seltzer...I think. Prices have gone up, but I guess they have everywhere. Meanwhile, it's important to make sure quality is up to par as well. There have been times, as stated before when the food was fine. However, other examples follow: once my husband's soup came out with broth and rice, no meat. The waiter told the manager, who just... shrugged. Now, after this, I'm done. My husband is the one who insists on going back. Another time a drink came and it was horrible, but ok... you take your chances. This last time, I ordered fish and chips. It came out burnt and salty. Now I can pretend it's well done, but the saltiness, no ma'am. The waitress asked if I wanted something else, I didn't. She said that she would only be able to discount it, not take it off the check. I agreed to the discount. The discount ended up being 5%... for food that ended up in the trash. I can promise you I won't be back. But, I don't think it's fair to give less than 3 stars bc you might catch them on a good day.
