The Derby Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Surrey

Nice place. OK food. Super mocktails! Wonderful decorations - good for horse racing enthusiasts. Sooo many great trophies and photos! (There must be a story there somewhere). Perfect for just crossing the border in to Canada and being hungry. Perfect for Canada Customs Officers to have a meal during shift or a meet up before or after shift. Read the menu very carefully. Ask what really comes with it for free before being overcharged at the end (don’t assume). Take note the caesar salad is not romaine but iceberg lettuce. The beef dip contains a small amount of beef slice and is the same beef slice used in the beef barley soup. Beef barley soup was fine slices of beef; barley; thin beef broth (a watered down version of thick beef broth used with the beef dip). Honestly we felt like there wasn’t the enthusiasm to promote the menu or cook it. It was tasty- filling- but something was missing. Perhaps it was the time we went. (Noon on a Monday- only 5 tables being attended to) - lack of interest? Only one dessert offered and it took a while - cheese cake - nothing special- had to be thawed so I am guessing Syscos? 2 sliced strawberries were the fresh fruit (promoted as topped with fresh fruit 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️). Overall it was food and it was edible. The man was sarcastic and the teen waiter was not trained yet. I will love to see other comments- items that are tastier/better. Maybe we will try again in a few months....

Our friend who lives close by recently went on a weekday and suggested we have lunch here on a Saturday.

It’s interesting that it’s a eat, drink and betting establishment. Horse racing/derby theme throughout. Monitors are tuned to horse racing, with betting machines inside. Most patrons are derby fans and every Saturday they hold a Handicapping Contest starting at noon so more than half the seating is reserved for that.

Service was great, food was good and reasonably priced but betting fans can be very enthusiastic and noisy, so be prepared for that. We had no choice but to be seated by a large group this day (Saturday).

The Caesar Chicken Wrap ($16) and Chicken Clubhouse ($16) had nice chunky pieces of chicken (see pics). The Mushroom Swiss Burger ($19) was good but fries were limp and a little oily. All sandwiches, wraps and burgers come with soup or fries.

Website says minors are welcome when accompanied by an adult until 10 pm but they’re only open until 5pm some days, earlier others. There was swearing given the clientele so be prepared for that also. Suggest going on a weekday may be more suitable with minors.

There is parking in front and along one side. Located very close to the Canada/USA Pacific aka Douglas Border Crossing at 0...

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 and a bar with stools down the other. Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating. We had brunch and it was quick and the food was good. The only reason for the four star rating was that although my wife told the server that we were sharing a meal, we did not 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 it was still irritating. As you might have guessed from the name of this place it is focused on horse betting. There is a kiosk on each 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 place wagers. You need an account at HPI Bet in order to wager. A good but not great experience at...
