Although their were four Brown Derby restaurants in the Los Angeles, the one that is found in Disney's Hollywood Studios is a recreation of the famous establishment on Vine Street. Opening in 1929, the Vine Street Brown Derby was a hot spot for movie stars during Hollywood's Golden Age <ref name= "micechat"> http://micechat.com/77107-disney-hollywood-studios-brown-derby<ref/ref>. Despite the fact that the original Brown Derby had closed in 1985, Disney Imagineers decided that they wanted to recreate the Hollywood landmark for the Disney-MGM Studios. In 1987 Disney agreed to a licensing deal with Brown Derby for construction in their new Orlando park <ref name= "micechat"/>. In 1990 a further deal was reached for locations to be built in Euro-Disney, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland, although these were never constructed<ref name= "micechat"/>.

When the Disney-MGM Studios opened on May 1, 1989, the Brown Derby was operational <ref> http://themickeywiki.com/index.php?title=Hollywood_Brown_Derby&action=edit&section=1 <ref/ref>. Throughout the park's history, the restaurant has served as its signature dining option. Since the Hollywood Brown Derby opened it has not seen any major changes.
