Madrocks Restaurant & Sports Bar
About This Spot
Stepping into Madrocks Restaurant & Sports Bar is like settling into a familiar neighborhood gathering spot where the energy hums quietly beneath easy conversation and the steady rhythm of a game on TV. The air carries the warmth of countless shared moments—friends clinking glasses, families catching up over hearty plates, and regulars smiling from their well-worn seats. It’s the kind of place that invites a slower pace, where the focus is on connection, comfort, and unpretentious enjoyment.
The atmosphere blends the casual spirit of a classic American grill with the lively buzz of a local sports bar. Here, the mood shifts effortlessly between relaxed afternoons and spirited evenings, with a background soundtrack of friendly chatter and the occasional cheer or groan as the game unfolds. The space feels unhurried, welcoming both those who want to linger over a cold beer and those seeking a satisfying meal that feels made just for them.
At the heart of Madrocks is its approachable menu that mirrors the atmosphere: familiar, robust, and thoughtfully crafted. You’ll find yourself savoring the kind of comfort foods that invite shared plates and easy smiles—whether it’s the crispy wings with bold, playful sauces, a burger that strikes the perfect balance between smoky and juicy, or a perfectly grilled steak that feels like a simple celebration of quality ingredients. The offerings are generous without fuss, thoughtfully supported by a lineup of local beers and drinks that fit both a casual lunch or a night out with friends.
It's a place where attentive, unpretentious service helps keep the focus on the people around you. Staff move with a friendly ease that feels genuine, attentive to details but never rushed, adding to the welcoming cheer without ever stealing the spotlight. Little touches, like the community newspapers waiting by the entrance, echo the subtle, understated charm that makes Madrocks more than just a bar and grill—it’s a corner of Derby where familiar faces and honest food come together to feel like home.

I had a great experience at Maddocks. The menu has a little bit of everything—burgers, wings, wraps, sandwiches, even pizza. I ordered the boneless chicken wings with mango habanero dry rub. They weren’t very spicy, but still had good flavor. There was a small mix-up (I was given bone-in wings at first), but it was fixed quickly. What really stood out was the service. The bartender was super attentive and kept checking in on me, and the server who brought my food was one of the most polite people I’ve ever met. The atmosphere was great too—good music, but not too loud, which I really appreciated. Prices are pretty average, about $12–$15 per person. Overall, Maddocks is definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for good food and excellent service.

Best restaurant by far, anywhere near this restaurant-rich area of Derby, Kansas! We eat meals out OFTEN. We ask each other, "Where do you want to go today?" We just keep coming back to Madrocks! Food is genuinely awesome for impressively low prices for this quality! I challenge you to try the Yoder Pork Chop dinner and try to find anything of that quality anywhere else for twice the price! Likewise their fish and chips, catfish dinner, onion rings, wings, burgers ... exceptional. As for the service... I've never heard them say, "no, we can't do that" and they are friendly, fun, and enjoy getting to know their patrons. Atmosphere is top notch! Families, groups, babies, pool table players, business execs, young and old, awesome people. We LOVE this place! And servers Elle, Sarah, and all the others here are top notch! (Especially Elle and Sarah. ) Try it ... you'll be back often!

Great food and atmosphere but everytime we go, its so cold inside. Like uncomfortably cold! Its the only restaurant we go to where we literally have to remember to atleast wear longsleeves. To management... its ok to turn the thermostat up every once in a while!

The staff is friendly and the food is alright. Nothing too exceptional, but a good atmosphere. They’ve got local newspapers and catalogs in the entryway, which is a nice way to catch up on what’s happening in the community, and something I really appreciate. Overall we enjoyed our experience here and I recommend checking it out. I will add that they do have great quality meat, which they source locally from Yoder Meats. It’s so delicious . A side note, I must add, don’t get the nachos. They were very strange and not so great.

Derby’s gem! We love MadRocks and visit often. The burgers are phenomenal, add crispy onion straws… game changer! Moscow mules come in a bigger mug than you typically see at a bar, well worth the price. Chicken strips are always delicious, but we went with fish and chips tonight. Go enjoy MadRocks!

Food here was very good I ordered the taco pizza with no lettuce or jalapenos. Very flavorful and cheesy. Hubby got the Texas club sandwich and it was loaded with meat. Service was fast and super friendly.
