Reviews for The Derby Bar and Grill in Surrey, BC
A fabulous meal atmosphere! Follow the horse racing!
We had a fabulous breakfast here! We don't really follow horse racing but really enjoyed our meal here. Generous portions,... reasonable prices, fresh food, and clean surrounding! Plus friendly staff make this pub worth the drive. Read more
This place is a little hideaway from the Pacific Border Crossing just off 176th. Deceiving looks, as is always looked tiny to me... from the front(It's pretty spacious). It's like half restaurant, half bar as when you walk in there are booths down one side anda bar with stools down the other. Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating. We had brunch and it was quick and the foodwas good. The only reason for the four star rating was that although my wife told the server that we were sharing a meal, we didnot ask for it to be split into two, it was and we were charged 2$ for a"split plate. A minor issue but with today's price itwas still irritating. As you might have guessed from the name of this place it is focused on horse betting. There is a kiosk oneach table where you can place a bet and watch the races, and tvs at the bar as well as a booth at the back where you can placewagers. You need an account at HPI Bet in order to wager. A good but not great experience at the Derby.... Read more
I was intrigued as I did my homework on this place using Google Reviews, noticing a small handful of 1-star ratings amongst MANY... 4&5 ?? reviews. I quickly realized it was 4 or 5 people griping about the fact that this restaurant was following the CovidSafety protocols. Had to laugh when I noticed that all 4 of these people submitted their negative review at the same time, andthen all rated each other’s review as ‘helpful’ ????. This actually inspired me to give ‘The Derby’ a shot for mylunch - and I can tell you that I was thoroughly impressed !! The sandwich I had was top-notch, and the soup was delicious(and hot!). I personally like my fries crispier, but I was so impressed with the rest of the food, the price, and the obviousefforts in place to keep me safe, yet not inconvenienced - I couldn’t knock any stars off !! To any anti-mandate people outthere who won’t go into a restaurant that follows the rules, I highly recommend you secretly get take-out from here, andenjoy!! Read more
Really relaxed and welcoming environment. The staff were super friendly and the chef came to our table multiple times to check... in on the meal. They couldn't do enough to keep our kids happy with colouring paper, crayons and they have a very reasonable $7kids menu. The food is restaurant quality at pub food prices and their homemade blueberry pie was awesome! The decor andmemorabilia are spot on and complement the array of TVs showing horse racing really well. A must visit for racing folk and nonhorse people alike! Read more
Suprising nice pub. The food is top notch. My potatoes were cooked to perfection and the salmon benny I had was 100% spot... on. Service was 110% friendly and timely. Honestly this place is 20 min from my house and I’m tempted to go there now forbreakfast. 1 thing I would say is my wife Monte Cristo was cooked perfectly BUT was really bland. It was not bad but it justfelt like I needed something more for flavor. The pancake was not like IHOP but more like something your grandma would havemade. Fluffy but yet heavy. Flavor was good and it was very filling. Read more
Driven by this bar and grill numerous times taking the back way to Abbotsford avoiding busy 16 Ave. We had the BLT, Clubhouse... and Beef Dip (the grilled onions and mushrooms are worth adding). Pricing was reasonable, service excellent (thank you Nicole).We split the beef dip and the cook separated our order and put on 2 plates. We appreciated that little bit extraservice. Recommend holding off eating if travelling either to the States (Pacific Border crossing) or the back way toAbbotsford (or going to Surrey from Abbotsford or points east to west) and stop by this hidden treasure. Families are welcome.Please note they do have unusual service hours. Read more
Changes to the menu made for disappointment at our table. Service was wonderful, don’t get me wrong! I’m not a chicken... tenders person but this place had THE BEST in house buttermilk tenders I’ve ever had! 4-5 pieces with a bed of fries. Now Iget 3 pieces that’s fit for a kids meal, and definitely not the same tenders as before :( just basic ones you find in thefrozen isle. Read more
