Madrocks Restaurant Sports Bar - Derby

It's not a bad place to grab lunch, dinner or a beer.

Dietary restrictions: I was with someone whose children had allergies so the staff was pretty good about helping the mother figure out healthy alternatives for her children. Kid-friendliness: It’s a sports bar, so there were lots of families in there with children. We were there for a friends birthday and two of her grandsons were with the group.

We used to love this place, and frequent it often when we lived in town. I was excited to be in town this weekend at dinner time to enjoy an old favorite, but was sadly disappointed. The food was bland, and barely warm. We ordered the nachos. They weren't warm, and barely topped. I also had the pork chop. It was nice and thick, but dry and unseasoned. I ordered an old fashioned. It arrived pink in color, and did not taste like an old fashioned. My son however ordered the chicken strips and fries which were amazing! Had I just ordered that, and a beer I would have been much happier. The waitress was very inattentive. She seemed to have something else on her mind. If you go definitely get the chicken strips. They're still good, and so is their ranch!

TOO LONG TO GET FOOD. Really like the food and ambience, but HAVE TO get better on service delays!!!

Updated 5-16-2024:It was seat yourself this time. I was promptly greeted but that was about it. The waitress did come give me a refill after I had been waiting awhile with an empty glass and needing more ranch. When I was done I’m not sure how long I waited for the check. It felt like 20 minutes or more. I had to flag another waiter down and ask him for it and I explained I had been wait for a long time. He then went and checked on 3-4 tables before telling my waitress I was ready to pay. This came off as very rude to me like my time wasn’t worth it to him.The food is great but the service needs a lot of improvement.Old review:That food was great. The service was friendly but extremely slow. We waited a very long time to be acknowledged to be seated. Almost to the point where we were going to leave and go somewhere else.
