The Derby Club Restaurant

Best Payouts for Table Games in All Southwest FL! Yes! Even Seminole 👎👎 Jackpots are Always At or Close to Six Figures and That's Betting the Table Minimums, Which are Usually $5! Dealers are Engaging, Knowledgeable, Lively and Always Willing to Help or Explain Whatever Questions Pop Up!! Remember Players 🤔 Dealers are Only the Messengers! Being Nasty to Them Will Never Get You Anything Good (Karma 😝) Blame the 'Poker Gods' for Your Ill Fated Bad Cards or Deals! If I Had One Bad Thing to Say About Derby Lane, It Would Be My Experience with Their So Called and Advertised 'Free Drinks While Playing Table Games'. I've Visited at Vary Days and Times of the Week and Encountered a Lack of Cocktail Service (1 or 2 Servers), Delayed Service (5 or 10 Min Wait) and Sporadic Service (15 to 30 Mins to Return). And, I Know Your Going to Ask If the Dealers Called for Cocktail Service When Requested and the Answer was Always. But in My Experience and Opinion, It Made Absolutely No Difference 😒 Most of the Time I Just Give Up, Go to the Bar and Get It Myself 🙃 The Bar Service Isn't A Whole Lot Better (No the Drinks Are Great 🥴), But Because Unfortunately the Bartenders I've Had the Pleasure of Serving Me Always Look Miserable 😖 When I'm Standing at the Bar for 5 Minutes (Making Eye Contact with the Bartenders), Common Courtesy Dictates that the Bartenders at Least Acknowledge Your Presence (Even If It's to Say "I'll Be With You As Soon As Possible"). With Regards to the Bar/Bartenders Service, I Noticed What Seemed to Me as 'Regulars' Received Quicker Service Than Those Who Would Just Walk Up to Request a Drink. To Finalize My Review I'll Rank the Poker Rooms and Casino I Visit Often From #1 to #3. -Table Game Payouts (Ultimate Texas Holdem, Deuces Wild, Three Card Poker, Etc): 1. Derby Lane 2. Seminole Hard Rock 3. One Eyed Jacks (Sarasota) -Texas Holdem ($1/$2 No Limit - Game Action/Play) 1. One Eyed Jacks (Sarasota) 2. Derby Lane 3. Seminole Hard Rock -Dealers (All Games) 1. One Eyed Jacks 2. Derby Lane 3. Seminole Hard Rock -Bar/Bartenders/Cocktail Service (Free, Paid & Cost) 1. One Eyed Jacks 2. Seminole Hard Rock 3. Derby Lane -Availability (Days & Times) 1. Seminole Hard Rock (Always 24 Hours) 2. Derby Lane (24 Hours Thursday - Sunday) 3. One Eyed Jacks (3am Thursday - Sunday) I Highly Recommend Derby Lane for Table Games Listed Above, Before Going to Seminole Hard Rock Especially If You're in the Tampa Bay Area. My Drive to Derby Lane is Usually An Hour and a Half from Sarasota with Minimal Traffic But Well Worth It!

The one security guard and the floor manager left groups of families out in the pouring rain 5/23/26 during the mega night market. It took me running through the rain to ask them to open the gate to let the family and children in. We told the security guard Korey and he said he doesn’t have enough staff to watch the gate to let people in. Forcing families to stay stranded under the awning. I will never come back to this place. Take your money to hard rock casino.

It is simply amazing to watch these beautiful hounds run. Poetry in motion !! As this historic place nears it's end as a Greyhound Track, it seems like a sad shell of what it once was in it's heyday. I could only imagine what it would have been like in the days when Babe Ruth and Micky Mantle came to the track. A bygone era, soon to be completely erased. It was very enjoyable and interesting to spend time there today. I suggest that if you ever wanted to see Greyhounds run, you make plans and go asap. I am not a gambler so the poker etc was not a draw to me. However, watching people play poker is quite interesting. If you enjoy people watching, it's not a bad place to be.... I wish all the people who work there with the dogs the best of luck. I am sorry that you have lost your "jobs". I know caring for the dog's is far more than just a job to you. Best wishes.

First they take away our paper towels, now they're charging $11 for a hot dog, I'm not even playing and I'm already on tilt

Went there for the Tampa Bacon Festival. What a joke. Hardly any bacon. Inside it looks like table games only. Didn't look like dogs run there anymore. Pretty lame place.
