Sparkies Kitchen & Bar

Went for lunch on 11/10/2025
No heat in restaurant. Two different female waitresses said a repair person had come in that morning and fixed the heat. They said it was warming up in the restaurant. This was not true. Ate lunch with my elderly mom. Waitress was great. I ordered a club salad. It was lousy. Lettuce was old and discolored. It came with very small bacon bits that were not real. If I ordered a club sandwich, I would expect bacon slices on it. I asked the waitress to fix this and she did. I spoke to manager afterward and he said they did not get the product they ordered for the bacon and had made a substitution, but he did not know what was being served. I complained about the heat and he looked out window and said, oh I just see a truck going by, I think that is the person coming to fix it. Wow, his staff said it had been fixed. It was way too cold in there. A sign on front door that says no heat would have helped. He did nothing to try to make our experience better. I will not return. He, Chris, had a choice and did not do anything to keep a returning customer. Sign when you enter says Come in, we are awesome. Do better Sparkies.

What a great dinner. We needed something quick and simple cuz everything was packed to go on vacation. I had the black and blue and it was delicious and the fries where nice and crispy. Wife had lobster Mac and cheese. She enjoyed it.

Wasn't a fan! Service was slow, but she was nice. Had the turkey burger. The atmosphere was urban chic, except the booth they put me in the seat was all ripped. I'm not sure if I'll give it another try. Jury's still out

The service was excellent. The arugula and beet salad was tasty, although the greens weren't fresh, and instead limp, curled up. The lobster roll was drenched in mayo, and the meat itself lacked any good taste. I returned it, and our server was extremely accommodating to remove from my bill. The restaurant was clean and nice atmosphere.

Host didn’t even say hi or greet us just stood there with no expression, we asked for a booth to sit down, she proceeded to tell us that the booths were closed, so we said okay, we sat at a table, then the host brought another couple of two just like us in and took them straight to a booth, so we asked our server if we could move to a booth because I was in a car accident last year and the chairs were not comfortable on my back and she said yes it’s no problem, they burnt my girls steak so much that it tasted horrible I even tried a piece, they made up an excuse by saying the cook just over seasoned it, I think we can tell the difference between burned meat and over seasoned meat.. they offered to try to make something else for my girl but she didn’t want any more of there food at that point because she had that burnt taste from the steak stuck in her mouth, the manager offered us a free cheese cake….so we said yeah okay we will take a plain one, the dude brings us a pistachio cheese cake and says this is all we have basically, so why did you say yes you can have a plain one and then proceed to bring us something different after already messing up on the steak, We will not be returning to this restaurant. Y’all don’t got nothing on the highland house. Period. Just go next door guys. They can actually make a steak right!

Delicious food and good vibes

I had the Makers Mark Salmon. It was excellent. Cooked perfect, nice and flaky. The taste was amazing and melted in your mouth. The asparagus that came with it was perfectly cooked as well. I was extremely happy with my selection.

My wife and I just finished dining at Sparky‘s in Highland. Food was great as always but the service was another matter entirely. The service was great until we got our bill and noticed that we were charged full price for a happy hour appetizer and beverage even though we put our order in three minutes before happy hour and pointed to the happy hour specials on the menu when ordering.. It wasn’t a huge deal as it was only three dollars but when I pointed out to the waitress/bartender that we were charged full price she went off on us saying that she’s not going to argue over $.50 even though it was three dollars and made a huge scene. She also said we should’ve pointed it out which I did when I ordered it right in front of her pointed to the happy hour menu and ordered Both things right in front of her off of the happy hour menu which she clearly seen. She then said she couldn’t do anything about it which I said fine I just wanted to get out of there at that point but she kept it up and was the rudest most unprofessional Staff person I’ve ever encountered at a restaurant. As a local business owner in Highland I have been going to Sparky’s ever since they opened. I will not ever go there again and will be taking my business to Bill‘s tip in inn White Lake from now on.

The staff were fast and polite. I had a burger with fries and a dirty blonde beer. Everything was great!! The staff are friendly and polite.

Amazing waitress today! Going above and beyond. Nadia great job!!!!

Phew. Beware establishments were the proprietorship is listed on the door, but the kitchen manager has been hastily scraped off. I ordered a sirloin steak and Bleu salad, expecting a nice manly meat slab on a bed of mixed greens. What showed up was 3 oz of raw steak and meteors of gorgonzola on a bed of curly endive so thick you'd swear it was a field in Gilroy. I table tossed it and tried a bite. I expected the tasty meats and Bleu dressing. What it came off as was an uncut choad that's so small that the ball hair coarse endive growing up the sides gags you- and as a bonus, the head comes back and you get the schmegma like blue cheese concoction as a parting gift. Mixed greens means a lot of things. This wad of late season stalky endive is not it. I've never looked at a companions arugula and beets and said to myself: I'm jealous. To wash this travesty down with, they brought me an alleged blue sapphire and tonic: which was actually some sort of gin with flat sprite. Zero bubbles, and sweet. Not for nothing, asked for a slab of ribs to go as I was starving, and got informed they were out of French fries. Not that I eat French fries, but what sort of Sysco centric kitchen runs out of fries? Please hire a food and beverage manager, or your restaurant is gonna die. The manager in congeniality comped a whopping $5. Used to be a decent place. Now it's just a glittery shithole.

Delicious and freshly made. Love the birthday discount as well. Liz gave us great service. Worth the drive every time!!
