We would have a late lunch and then just graze the rest of the day. But when they went to a single all-day menu, it became unaffordable (I never use DDP). The last time Ann and I had lunch there it cost us over $100 including tip. That was for a shared appetizer, two mid-priced entrees and two deserts. We had sodas to drink - no liquor. That is just too much to spend on lunch. Now we generally just stop in for an appetizer and/or dessert. It seems like more of the demand restaurants have gone to all-day pricing since the DDP came into existence. It took away the option of having a lunch that was lower cost than a dinner at some of my favorite restaurants. Just one more reason why I really dislike the DDP.

My wife prefers the more 'traditional' entrees and generally goes with Beef or Chicken selections. The Filet at $45 is the most expensive entree on the menu.

Originally Posted By danyoung I really love the Brown Derby. They're now making a cobb salad for one, but they don't mix it for you - you have to mix it yourself (no biggie). Their steak is always perfectly done. They're doing a dessert trio now, with 3 smaller portions of desserts - yummy!!!
