BRUNCH at Derricks… wish it wasn’t so close to our house because it’s too tempting! We tried out Derricks this last weekend and were quite impressed. For $ 23.95 we got: B = Beautiful location: Overlooking the 10th and 18th hole, this little restaurant has gorgeous views. It was raining the day we came so we had to see the view out the windows but on a sunny day I can imagine sipping a mimosa on their lovely patio and taking it all in R = R U Getting another mimosa? They must have changed things since last year because it looks like in Jessica Y’s review she had to pay $ 5 extra for her bottomless mimosa. That’s not the case now. For a very decent champagne mixed with orange juice we paid nothing outside of our brunch price:) U = Unbelievably fresh lox: I love lox on a brunch buffet but so often find it oily or fishy. The lox on Derricks buffet was so good I went back for seconds.(I think this speaks to the quality of their food overall) N = Nice omelet bar: There was a customized omelet bar set up with fresh spinach, chopped bell peppers, bacon, ham, onions, cheese etc. The chef came out and made us delicious hot omelettes which we happily took back to our table with bacon, breakfast potatoes and cut strawberries off the buffet. **Little aside on the breakfast potatoes, OMG, so delicious! Perfectly seasoned! C = Customer service: We had a great server that was quite attentive and her colleagues in the dining room were only too happy to help as well. H = Helping after helping: This is an AYCE brunch buffet featuring chef selections that change(for us there was salmon, chicken piccata and pasta), appetizers(ex: ahi tuna on toast points) salads, fruit, pastries, that omelet station, bacon/sausage, potatoes, bagels and of course desserts. We didn’t try so many things including the dessert that looked delicious but it’s definitely worth pacing yourself if you want to get in helping after helping! I would have loved if some of the food was hotter(ex: the potatoes were luke warm and would have rocked hot) and offering toast or even putting a toaster out so you could toast your bagel would enhance the overall experience. That being said though, Derrick’s I’m a total fan and we’ll see you again! Unilocal 100 challenge: 9⁄100

3.5 stars. Pretty quiet and I am interested in trying the buffets/brunches. I hear those are the value here. Went here for breakfast and it was a bit pricey, but the portions were generous and service was good. The options were limited, but the food came out quick. Got the breakfast sandwich upon recommendation and it was like burger with your choice of meat. It was the size of normal burger so I can appreciate that. Tasted good too. Seems like the course employees and and the bar workers help each other out. We were greeted several times and asked how we were enjoying out time. Just hope there are more customers during rush hour since it would be a shame to waste a space like this.

The most amazing Sunday brunch I have ever ever seen and been too! They have salmon, shrimp, salad bar, mushroom fried rice, omelette bar, ceviche, all kinds of other foods and amazing service! Very reasonable prices considering the high quality food and great ambiance. $ 23.95 and $ 5 more for the bottomless champagne which is highly recommended. There are big TV’s in the bar/dinning area and comfortable chairs you can sit here and have a great time for hours.

The food is great! But what happened to the old chicken strips and fries? So much better than the new ones. Love you guys but bring them back! :)

Located inside Black Gold Golf Club. What a perfect place to relax, eat, and drink after a nice golf round or from the range. My friends and I were very impressed at the quality of the food and prices. Everything I’ve eaten have been great. You can sit inside and enjoy watching sports in the comfy seats or be out on the covered patio watching the approach shots to the 18th green, very nice view. Great selection of beers and drinks. Always get great service. Keep it up.
