September 26, 2024Derby Café is a cozy spot located conveniently at Churchill Downs, perfect for a quick bite between races! 🌟 I stopped by for lunch and indulged in a delicious pulled pork sandwich and a bowl of flavorful tomato basil soup that warmed me right up on a chilly day.
The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and our bartender, Jimmy Bourbon, made the experience all the better. His friendly service and fantastic drink recommendations truly stood out! 🍹
If you're visiting the area, the Derby Café is a great choice for comfort food and refreshing drinks. I’ll definitely be back!
