My first time at The Derby and it was fantastic. The food was great and the service was top tier. My waiter Joshua was very attentive and provided great service. I loved the classic 50's music they played. It definitely matched the decor...elegant, comfortable, and nostalgic. I will be back. read more

Since I live nearby, I've dined at The Derby many times over the past decades. I was surprised when I saw I've never reviewed it. It's a classic steakhouse, around since 1922 and once owned by famed jockey George Woolf, with ties to famed racehorse Seabiscuit. I'm not sure if the current building is original, but it looks pretty classic, with brick walls and rooms full of red tufted booths, plus a patio and a popular bar/lounge area that serves the full menu. The Derby is great for a special occasion or a just regular weeknight or weekend meal. We have enjoyed a fine Thanksgiving supper here twice. We most recently came here 3 times in 2 weeks for their Dine LA offer. Their hours have changed over the years; they currently serve dinner 6 nights weekly, lunch on Thurs and Fri and brunch on Sat and Sun. Their menu has also changed over the years; I'd say the current menu has slightly fewer offerings than in the past, but still has great variety. I do miss the Pick-Three and Pick-Six starter options from the past, as well as their carrot cake. I've mostly enjoyed their steaks, but their seafood is good also. I recommend their ribeye, bacon-wrapped filet and prime rib. Love their shrimp cocktail; their cocktail and horseradish sauces pack quite a kick. Most recently, I love their brussels sprouts starter and their Friday soup of the day, New England Clam Chowder. And I ALWAYS get the creamed spinach and creamed corn sides--absolute classics. We did the DineLA lunch most recently, and I thoroughly enjoyed the prime rib French Dip, the Derby burger (with delish candied bacon and crispy onions), and the salmon. Join their VIP Club and you'll get a free Baked Alaska dessert during your birthday month. Service is always excellent and consistent, from the host desk and main waiters to the food servers and busboys. There've long been plans for a reimagining of the restaurant to become part of a mixed-use commercial/residential complex. Supposedly this will start in 2026; the restaurant will be demolished and rebuilt as a larger space. Apparently (and sadly) the restaurant building does not have historic status. I think The Derby will operate in a temporary location during construction. Hopefully the new restaurant's design will retain some classic charm of the original. read more

One of my favorite restaurants, where the food is amazing and the service is incredible. Located near the Santa Anita race track, you are immediately transported surrounded by all the history and memorabilia. The staff goes above and beyond consistently every time to ensure your experience is memorable. The food is amazing down to the very last bite. Starting with the garlic cheese bread, which you must pair with the iceberg salad. It's fresh and every ingredient compliments one another. Super refreshing and I definitely recommend having them chop it up. If you don't know what to order, you can never go wrong with the steak that made the derby famous. The bacon wrapped filet is tender, juicy, and flavorful. I pair it with the garlic mashed potatoes and it comes with carrots and some onion rings. Really fantastic. Now for dessert, I insist on the baked Alaska. Not only is it delicious, but there's a wow factor to it. The top part is like a merengue similar to a s'mores and the bottom is vanilla ice cream. Definitely worth trying at least once. Prices are reasonable for a steak house. Overall, the derby continues to impress and I will definitely be back! read more

Friendly and close knit family atmosphere. A place that dares to hire our young men and women to gain work experience and that will benefit all. Our waiter very enthusiastic, professional and happy to be there. Support a business who dares to employ our young people and seasoned professionals. Love the food and service. read more

I made a reservation since it's the dine LA week and there's a special three course menu! - French onion soup: very cheesy (lovely!) and very flavorful! It's a bit salty but the flavors (the caramelized onions, the cheese, and the soup) come together really well with depth in texture and finishes off with an umami aftertaste. - Prime rib with an addition of the pan seared jumbo diver scallop: the scallop is very delicate and seared to perfection- not rubbery at all. With simple seasoning, it truly brings out the seafood flavor! The prime rib is a must! Every bite is so tender and juicy - absolutely perfect! For my side, I opted for veggies - perfectly roasted. - Chocolate cake: rich chocolate! If you like chocolate, can't go wrong with this. Service was amazing! Also they have those turning tables so you don't have to squeeze your way into the seats. Big parking lot at the back - valet and self parking available. read more

Growing up in the 626 but never would have thought to stumble upon here. We were looking for a nice dinner and this happened to show up on Yelp. Located in Arcadia pretty close to the Racetrack, this feels like a "historic" restaurant that pays tribute to the races to nearby. There was a whole glass wall of the history of the races and all, but I didn't look too closely since we were seated immediately haha. We were initially thinking of sitting indoors but it was already all full at 6pm on a Sunday night. Although, there was plenty of outdoor patio seating that also feels like an extension of the inside. They made a very nice area for the "outside"! Our waiter was quite attentive of us and would check on us frequently. When we weren't ready to order yet, they even offered this garlic cheese toast that was reallllyyyy good. It was melted so nicely, the garlic was so fragrant, it was really delicious. We could eat so many of these lol. So we ordered the three course meal, which was an appetizer, entree, and dessert. For the price of $67 per person, it's very well worth it! I ordered a french onion soup, prime rib, and the cheesecake. My bf ordered the calamari, filet mignon with scallops, and the bread pudding. It didn't take too long for our meal to arrive bc we were too busy eating the garlic cheese toast haha so good! Our appetizers came first, which was the calamari and french onion soup. I never had this type of soup before, so I was really interested in trying. I didn't realize how cheesy it was either! Although, the flavor was generally salty at first, but the more you drink it, it's pretty good! I quite enjoyed it and it made me even so much more full having this and the garlic cheese toast lol. The calamari was also pretty good too, very crispy and the sauces they offered paired with it so well! Then came our entrees. I tried the prime rib first and honestly it's pretty good! Although I would say I had better prime ribs before, but this was already pretty good for the price. It could have been softer and melts more in your mouth, but the quality itself is still pretty nice. i also had this garlic mashed potatoes and wow it's extremely garlic-y. I enjoyed it! My bf also really enjoyed the filet mignon and the fries he ordered. It really made him extremely full cause he was determined to finish it haha. We were stuffed, but we also have dessert next. I had the cheesecake and my bf had the bread pudding. This may be my least favorite portion, the cheesecake was nice at first, but the crust on the bottom is very thin, I wish it had more! The cheesecake itself also didn't feel that smooth, it would clump up the longer it sits. So the consistency wasn't all that smooth and rich as I hoped it to be. It was also very strong in almond flavor. My bf's bread pudding was nice to try, but gets overwhelming the more you eat it. We weren't too into the whiskey syrup, but maybe if we both enjoyed whiskey a lot more, then we would have appreciated it more haha. To sum up, the desserts were just okay, but nice to try. Overall, the meal was very delicious! For the price of this set meal, it's also very well worth what you're getting. Atmosphere, service, quality, and price point were all great. Definitely a gem in Arcadia. read more

The Derby is exactly the kind of neighborhood restaurant you hope to find -- welcoming, consistent, and quietly confident in what it does well. The standout for us has been the slow roasted prime. The beef quality is excellent, roasted properly, juicy and deeply flavorful without being heavy-handed. What really elevates the dish, though, is the execution of the sides. The carrots and asparagus are cooked perfectly -- tender but not soft, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully balanced to complement the richness of the meat rather than compete with it. It's a detail that shows care and experience in the kitchen. The tuna tartare is another highlight. Fresh, clean, and well-balanced, with nothing overpowering the quality of the fish. It's the kind of dish that feels simple on the surface but clearly relies on good sourcing and restraint. Service here deserves special mention. It's warm, professional, and genuinely attentive without hovering. Every recommendation we've received has been excellent, which says a lot about how well the staff understands the menu. My wife and I have been here twice now, and each visit has offered a slightly different experience -- not because of inconsistency, but because the restaurant has depth. It feels like a place you can return to regularly and continue discovering new favorites. Overall, The Derby strikes a rare balance: high-quality food, thoughtful execution, and a friendly, neighborhood feel. A place we're very happy to have in the rotation and one we'll absolutely keep coming back to. read more

There is valet parking here or you can self-park. The exterior is just as interesting as the inside. It was a nice formal but not overly fancy. Definitely a great place for an anniversary or birthday dinner. That staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The food arrives at a well paced time. The Derby bread at the start is one of the best I've had at restaurants. Just the right amount of butter and garlic that makes you keep wanting more. It's always nice and toasty. I got the dine LA menu set. The brussel sprouts are really good, slightly crispy. Although this time I wanted to try the Chef Sal's spiced meatballs. I don't normally eat meatballs and this one took away before getting used to the spice combination. It's pretty good. And it wasn't heavy nor a dense ball of meat. The bacon-wrapped filet mignon was good and actually medium rare, compared to other businesses. Our server made sure the steaks were toasty our liking. The bacon was okay. The rice pilaf was good. You definitely get a decent portion. I took my dessert to-go. They made sure I knew the re-heating process. Bread pudding is also delicious. Overall, I really enjoy eating at the Derby each time. They always make you feel welcomed. read more

The Derby lives on! This place better stay put for my grandkids! My family has been coming to the Derby for over 40 years. My grandparents loved the Derby and our parents have us addicted. Can't beat the memories, nostalgia, Santa Anita Race Track, overall family vibes at the Derby. The Customer Service base is phenomenal. I have not had 1 bad experience yet and I should have kept everyone in the loop of this gem. The food is always top notch. The wait staff, genuine. I love Christmas time because of all the decorations. It was actually my first time getting brunch here and I loved it. Filet Mignon, eggs, potatoes - Delicious. Calamari was superb. Not too chewy and had flavor. I tried the Egg Nog, yes, you know, gooood. Dessert was the warm apple pie. We shared and forgot the pic, but you need to try this pie! Coming back in 2026! read more

We went to the Derby to celebrate my brother's graduation and the service was just wonderful. Adam was our initial server to start, and he was so much fun and immediately went along with my grandmother's joke of the whole table wearing sunglasses. When Adam's shift ended we then had Josh, who was just spectacular. He also continued the sunglasses bit, and went above and beyond to accommodate us. He kept us all laughing all night long! And at the end of our dinner, he even surprised us a delicious baked Alaska for my brother! It was just marvelous. As for the food, that was amazing too! Genuinely everyone at the table thought that the Derby Delight was just about the best steak they'd had in a long time! We will definitely be coming here again! read more

Hidden, nostalgic, dim and a classic steakhouse vibe. It's been a go to for special occasions and a staple in The City of Arcadia.service is spectacular and if you are a fan of whiskey flights, they have you covered. Took my mom here for her birthday, and the staff were very accommodating Since she requires to be close to the restroom. Plate presentation was great. I ordered the Ribeye. Perfectly cooked med rare. They have memorabilia's from the early days of the Santa Anita tracks and the gear the jockeys used in the 40's and 50's for their horse races. Definitely a place to come by and have a dine. read more

Came to The Derby in Arcadia excited to try the prime rib. Drove half an hour specifically for it after seeing some pictures and seeing that it was available for Dine LA. Although we had a reservation, we waited for a table about 40 minutes because it was a busy night. Shortly after sitting down, the waiter came around to introduce himself and I ask him if there is any prime rib left; he assures me there is. When he comes back to take our order: he has checked with the kitchen - one is in the oven, but it may take a half hour to come out. Great! We order. Salads and appetizers arrive, and he comes back again with an update: actually the prime rib will be ready in 10 minutes, so it should be perfect timing. Even better! At this point, things start to go awry. Across the room has a very unhappy guest calls the manager over and they argue about something at length. A few minutes after that scene, our waiter comes back to our table and apologies: oh, we actually don't have any prime rib left -- it's too rare and we can't grill it without making it tough, sorry. The staff then bring about something that looks suspiciously like prime rib to the complaining table! So... after telling me multiple times that yes, prime rib is available, yes, it's coming, then yes, it'll be perfect timing -- now it's suddenly "not available." Honestly, it felt pretty obvious they gave the prime rib they'd promised to me to the complaining table . And if that's what happened, fine -- but really, why lie to me as a guest? The waiter then asks if we'd like to cancel our orders, i.e., would we like to leave without having eaten anything but salad? By now, it's 9:30pm, after we came in at 8:00pm; it's late out and the only thing open now is fast food. I stare at the menu and nothing sounds good because I was looking forward to prime rib for hours now. Reluctantly, I ask for the ribeye as a replacement. He comes back after talking to the manager and says there will be a $20 additional charge because it's not on the Dine LA menu. I was shocked, but I agreed because... what else am I supposed to do at that point? The ribeye finally comes out grisly and tough -- not even close to worth the detour, the wait, or the upcharge. My partner's filet mignon also is dried out, obvious that they fired it an hour ago when the prime rib was supposed to come out and left it under a heat lamp to dry out. We paid the bill and still left a tip, but we walked out kind of stunned at how many missteps happened in one dinner. We ended up eating at 10pm after coming in at 8pm and basically wasted our whole night for a subpar meal, been strung along and possibly lied to, and left with a bad taste in our mouths. read more

Fun old school spot with good food and great people. Plenty of seating for groups and lots of bar space if you're looking for cocktails. I got a NY strip with bernaise and a baked potato. Meat was cooked just how I asked and the bernaise was great. Ordered some brussel sprouts to start which were also tasty. They paired well with the steak too. Definitely stop in if you enjoy some cool decor and tasty bites. The bartenders were Johnny on the spots and always made sure my beer was cold and full. read more

Having another client meeting here- the ambience is very nice- Christmas decor is everywhere. We felt a little upset because the waitress at the front didn't pay enough attention to us and we literally waited almost 25 mins to get seated for a reservation- as was told they need to prepare for our table from party of 5 to party of 6. The food is very delicious, we ordered the special ribeye, filet mignon, salmon, and the famous baked Alaska. read more

We visited The Derby for Mother's Day dinner this year, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing compared to the level of service we used to know from this restaurant. (this is just few hours ago, so I decided to write it down when my memory is fresh) Our reservation was for 5:45 PM, and we actually arrived early and checked in around 5:10 PM. We understood it was a busy holiday, so we were patient and waited. However, by 5:45 PM we overheard that they were still seating the 5:15 PM reservations. We continued waiting patiently with our two young boys, who were also trying their best to wait quietly and calmly. Around 6:15 PM, I kindly checked again and was told our table was "almost ready." After asking the front desk several times, we finally received our table around 6:30 PM and were seated closer to 6:40 PM -- almost an hour after our reservation time. By then, everyone was already tired and hungry. I was also disappointed that they gave us an outside table under a tent it was not as nicer as inside. What made the experience more difficult was that service from the kitchen also appeared extremely delayed. We noticed many other tables waiting a long time for their food as well. Our children's main dishes did not arrive until around 7:20 PM, and we did not leave the restaurant until almost 7:50 PM. My husband and I used to love coming to The Derby. There was even a period when we visited almost weekly for lunch, so this review is honestly disappointing for us to write. We completely understand that Mother's Day is one of the busiest days of the year, but it felt like the restaurant accepted more reservations than they could realistically handle. What saddened us most was not only the long wait, but also the lack of communication, apology, or sense of responsibility from management. The wait staff themselves were polite and doing their best, but the overall customer care and experience felt very different from the Derby we remembered from a few years ago. I truly hope the restaurant can reflect on this experience and improve the reservation flow and customer communication during major holidays, because many families choose special occasions like Mother's Day to create meaningful memories together. read more

Good service and cozy ambiance. Felt like I was eating in a Christmas village. I got the Derby delight medium rare with garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was very tender. Would def come back read more

We came here for a Happy Mother's Day dinner and it was very crowded so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND making a RESERVATION... PARKING: You have a choice of free valet parking with optional & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED tips because they seem VERY EXHAUSTED or you can self park with a farther walk but, it wasn't too bad of a walk to begin with so if you are capable please just self park and get some exercise! You'll need after eating the PRIME RIB ;) We did the 3 course special: My party of 4 ordered 2 prime ribs, a filet mignon and the Arcadian which is beef tenderloin slices with scallops. PRIME RIB: Is the STAR OF THE SHOW is was in my hubby's opinion at LAWRY'S LEVEL The FRIED CALAMARI was unique! It was straight like fish sticks and very appetizing... DESSERT: CHEESECAKE for the win! THE FOOD came out very slowly so you will need to have patience and try not to get HANGRY... I'm not sure if there was a DRESS CODE but, I just wore a nice top with some jeans and booties. I got some stares from other parties and servers so I wonder if I was underdressed? I mean it's a STEAKHOUSE so technically the dress code should be WESTERN ;) EVEN if I was underdressed I was capable of buying everything in the menu if I wanted to and I did help cover the TIP of $65 for my party so NEVER judge a book by it's cover. read more

A sweet older lady who used to be a server stopped by our table to say hi, she even mashed our baked potato. Old skills put back to work :) .

Went here in a big group and the experience was so amazing. The dining area was comfortable and festive, the lighting was warm and easy on the eyes. Everything on the table was clean and well set. It was aesthetically pleasing to look at. The servers were all very attentive and friendly. They did a spectacular job at clearing our table when we were done with appetizers or drinks. And It didn't feel like we had to wait too long for our food despite the number of people in our group. Our server Josh especially made an impression on us, making polite and engaging conversations with our group. The food was great as well. The iceberg wedge lettuce was surprisingly very good and flavorful for a salad. I had their salmon and my partner had the prime rib. Both were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The kitchen killed it. 10/10 would come again. read more

What a pleasant surprise! We came here for a family dinner after a graduation, and I thought the food was superb. We made reservations for six people on a Sunday evening. We drove up, there was valet parking, got out, went straight inside the restaurant, and our table was about ready. Maybe because we got there a bit on the early side, and it wasn't too crowded. I think the late dinner crowd was still leaving, as the host along with the waiters/waitresses was still preparing for dinner time. I ordered their Prime Rib at Medium-rare plus. Meaning the meat was cooked enough so it's not too red anymore, as in rare, which imo is still bloody. Lol. My garden salad came out with dressing on the side as requested, my baked potato was huge with all the condiments on the side as well. My prime rib was medium-rare plus indeed. The aju sauce was plentiful as the scoop of horse radish on the side looked like whipped cream. It was delicious paired with a glass of cabaret red wine. My family pretty much got the same prime rib order, but prepared differently, anywhere from medium rare to medium well. Timing in preparation of each dish is vital. I'm not a cook or a math genius, but every second does count while steaks are being cooked. Anyhow, all the prime rib steaks came out perfectly to each of our satisfaction. We had a wonderful time. The service was awesome, and our waitress was very attentive. Parking is simple, as it's valet only for a few dollars. Good times with a great food, a wonderful ambiance makes it worthwhile to come back. Thank you for a memorable celebration! read more

* Can't beat the old school steakhouse vibe. * Front of house greeter is known for being rude and disrespectful, and never disappoints. * Food is stellar if the staff doesn't overcharge, add items to your bill you didn't order, or promise you the prime rib is available, and then after 30 minutes inform it's not. * I've had the exact opposite experience, which is nice -- excluding the greeter * Flip a coin, roll the dice, it's 50/50 read more

The Derby is a stapple in Arcadia and all San Gabriel Valley. It is an old school steak house with red leather booths and horse racing decor. The restaurant was originally owned by a renounced Jockey and the establishment recently celebrated its 102 anniversary. My family and I love this place and visit it often. Although the like the main dinning room and patio, we tend to prefer the bar area where you can enjoy great food as well as deliciously crafted cocktails. Mike is usually our bartender and he always does a fantastic job. Some of our favorites are the fried calamary and the steak wrapped asparagus. For drinks, we recommend their barrel aged Old Fashioned, the Manhattan, the Lemon Drop and the Pomegranate Martini. I just note that drinks are The Derby are all named after famous jockeys. The Derby also hosts special wine paired dinners regularly. We love to attend these types of events and always have a great experience. The Derby is consistent in the quality of food, drinks, and service, and this is something I really value. In the many times I have been there I have never had a bad experience, and I have been there a lot! I highly recommend The Derby. It is a classic for all the right reasons. read more
