Summary: Amazing people, outstanding food, great atmosphere! When you walk in it’s like a retro feel with old bowling alley items (an actual lane on the ceiling) and other sports/game memorabilia. We waited 3-5 minutes which gave us time to drool at the dessert case. We were seated in the huge heated patio that has more vintage decor. Our waitress was so personable, funny, and knowledgeable. My teens and I all ordered different burgers and shared delicious cheese fries (the burgers come with fries). The portion sizes are huge!! But...the dessert case got us from the beginning. So we ate half of our burgers and ordered the made from scratch peanut butter pie with chocolate ganache. Oh. My. Goodness. Divine. The owner was the cashier and we could have talked to her for hours - just about the desserts she makes! Do NOT miss this gem!

When you first walk in you would think that the restaurant is small and then you see how big it spreads out to be. My wife got the 10 piece shrimp basket. I would say that the shrimp were 15 - 20 per pound size. The cocktail sauce tasted homemade with perfect amount of horseradish. The fries were too many to eat - which was a good thing. I got the Blackjack Chicken. The two pieces of chicken were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The two sides of black beans and rice that I went with tasted great. Very attentive server!

The food was excellent, the decor was fun and well thought out to create a welcoming feel, the staff did incredible with our huge group of people, the menu has items for people with food sensitivities, and the even have small safety scissors on each table to assist you in opening the packs of mayo. The prices were a little high but it is in a tourist destination so it is to be expected. My only complaint is that the bathroom was tiny. We had a good experience over all. I will definitely go back if we are ever in the area again!

At first we were thinking it was a little pricey. Then our food came and it was worth every penny! Some of the best food I have had. We are thankful Calvin Cotton, from Eureka Rocks, recommended it!

Our Server Syama was over the top! We had both the Pork and the Brownies with Nuts, and have never had better!! The facility was one of the coolest retro themed we've ever been to. Great selection of draft beer as well. Definitely will return many times!

Starving after road tripping all day and Sparkys came thru. My partner had the chicken quesadilla and enjoyed it. I had the delicious original Sparky's Cheeseburger style. I am eager to go back to visit more places in Eureka and Sparkys will definitely be on the list.

We got takeout from here. It was a little disorganized and they missed something but were quick to apologize and fix the issue. I believe the person that helped us was new and it wasn't a big deal. Food was great, I got the pulled pork plate which I mistakingly thought was a sandwich, no it was a huge portion of pulled pork! We ate on this food for three meals! Good quality food, a little bland for my taste but I would come back if ever in the area again!

Friendly cafe with delicious food. They had homemade olive tapenade that was so yummy! The fries are phenomenal. Huge portions—couldn’t finish the food but they offered to pack it up for takeout.
