The Hollywood Brown Derby in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has refreshed its menu with a new lineup of dishes. The additions span seafood, steak, pork, short rib, and dessert, giving guests a few more reasons to book a table at the signature restaurant on Hollywood Boulevard. Here is a look at all seven new items, along with their prices and a quick rundown of what each one brings to the table.
Pan-Roasted Halibut
Priced at $54, the Pan-Roasted Halibut comes with leek vichyssoise risotto, peas, and citrus. The plate pairs the mild white fish with a creamy risotto base, while the citrus adds a brighter note to balance the richness.
Char-Grilled Octopus
The Char-Grilled Octopus is an appetizer option at $20. It is served with herb-roasted potatoes, chimichurri, and a chipotle-harissa aïoli. Together, the grilled seafood, roasted potatoes, herb-forward chimichurri, and spiced aïoli give the dish a mix of textures and flavors.
Fried Pork Chop
At $45, the Fried Pork Chop entrée arrives with yuzu beurre blanc and summer vegetables. The citrus-driven beurre blanc lightens up the fried pork, and the seasonal vegetables round out the plate.
Braised Center-Cut Short Rib
The Braised Center-Cut Short Rib is priced at $54 and comes with hominy purée, roasted vegetables, smoky adobo glaze, and beef jus. This is one of the heartier options on the new menu, leaning into the slow-cooked beef, smoky adobo, and savory jus.
Honey Pot de Crème
For something sweet, the Honey Pot de Crème is available for $14. It is served with strawberry compote, salted streusel, and ginger sponge cake. The dessert blends honey and strawberry flavors with the crunch of the streusel and the warmth of the ginger sponge.
Vanilla-Fruit Cheesecake
Also priced at $14, the Vanilla-Fruit Cheesecake builds on a vanilla cheesecake base with peach sponge, strawberry panna cotta, mango coulis, and a crunchy tuile. The combination layers several fruit components together for a varied bite.
Filet Mignon
The Filet Mignon rounds out the new dishes at $56. It is served with a rhubarb-red wine demi-glace, Yukon gold potato, and braised endive. The rhubarb and red wine in the sauce offer a seasonal twist on a steak option guests have come to expect at the restaurant.
