I hosted my daughters bridal shower there yesterday. It was perfect! I've never had such delicious tea and would drive back for that reason alone. The room was beautiful, tastefully decorated. All of the guests were enchanted with the day! Thank you Tracey for such a lovely, memorable bridal shower! pumpkin cupcakes, with a touch of magical gold glitter were the final treat!

This is in the middle of nowhere in Derby in a mostly residential neighborhood, but it's a big space. They have a big indoor area with picnic tables and an outdoor area with a waterfall and outdoor party games. The beer selection is why to go, they usually have 35-40 beers on tap from all across the world. You'll definitely find something you like. They are not a brewery, so don't here looking for beer brewed onsite. Prices are very reasonable, in the $6-8 range depending on beer.Foodwise, it's a mixed bag. They have bar snacks like nachos and pizza, and for the summer they have cold things (Italian ice for example). The biggest problem is the food is very very very expensive for what you get. For example, my wife and I had a half order of BBQ chicken nachos..it was $18. Pizza is equally high priced. It's pretty good bar food, not restaurant quality but good enough. The biggest issue is price. Overall, THC is DEFINITELY worth visiting if you're in the area, just be prepared to open the wallet a bit if you're hungry.

Small set-up area but upon closer look, one sees that there are many choices and all tasty and freshly prepared. There is something for everyone, Small serving platters are replenished as needed. The staff is friendly, accommodating and working hard to keep soiled dishes removed and coffee replenished. The roast beef was not only cooked perfectly but tastier than high end establishments, First seated in the "greenhouse" as requested but found it to be way too sunny for comfort. We're seated in the dining area, darker but very comfortable. A bit of a drive for us, but we'll be back.

I don't have a problem with most other fast food franchises or KFCs, they're adequate. But the Derby version always had a certain cachet. Very well-run, with employees who take great pride in the place, I used to make a trip there because they had a special deal - and menu offerings -other KFCs didn't have.I hadn't been there in years and stopped by yesterday. Still head and shoulders above. The chicken pieces were three times as large as at other KFCs. They have corn bread and oatmeal cookies in the $5.00 deal meal, not available at my usual Orange location. The place is still large, comfortable (more like a casual dining place than a fast food place) and well-kept. The woman serving me said that they try to keep everything they can on the menu and have so much it doesn't even all fit on the menu signs (I guess you have to know and ask for whatever secret items those are). In a class by itself.

My husband and I had dinner here and will definitely return; the thin-crust, personal-size pizza is delicious. He really enjoyed the ranch chicken pie and I the jalapeño and bacon. We didnât love the wings; they come with 3 different dipping sauces. Good beer on tap. I loved the atmosphereâ lots of barn wood, interesting fixtures, etc. The menu is small. The pizzas are cooked in an oven right behind the bar. Service was was friendly and could be more attentive for refills, etc. It took too long to get our pizzas on the night we went, and it wasnât very crowded. We look forward to trying the other types of pizzas on the menu.

The look from the outside can be a bit deceiving. Went there on a football Sunday afternoon but was able to get a table right away. The wings were great and the variety is overwhelming. The service was outstanding!! I would highly recommend the Dew Drop!

My first visit to CCBG. It won't be my last. Firstly, shout out to Aimee, my server. She's incredibly personable, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. First up, seafood chowder. Delicious broth and chunky pieces of seafood. Next, half order of nachos. Delicious but really, really messy. The half order would easily feed 3 people. Last, lobster BLT. This was my least favorite course, which shocked me. I'm all about the lobster, but this lobster salad left me wanting. The flavor just wasn't there. The sandwich was constructed well, though.All that food and the bill was under $30. That works. I'll be back.
