On top of the excellent, authentic, and super flavorful food and salsa, Rosita and the other staff were wonderful. If we lived nearby, we would eat here all the time! Come here.”

“first time here on a recommendation from a guy in town at a fast food place. I will say sitting area inside is a little small BUT the service and GREAT food made up for it. the waitress that waited on us was friendly and came by to check on us regular. We had breakfast with them. and it was great. much much better than some of the larger chain restaurants we have eaten at. Did I say the food was great. I,m hard to please when it comes to my eggs and pancakes. but they did a great job. we will definitely stop again when we are back in the area. Thanks again the Lipscomb crowd”

“Love the place since they moved, The other place always smelled like cilantro when we walked in. New restaurant is spread out, Very aztec looking when you walk in, Customers aren't on top of eachother. They do need some IPA'S Corona doesn't get it for us. Food comes out hot and fast, and there's always leftovers to take home. Prices are not bad either.”

“We love their fish especially the pollock.We're been going there for several years. Good food and the people are so nice!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“A great lil spot. Pancakes are huge and fluffy; and their omelets are top notch. Not looking for breakfast? The mushroom Swiss burger never disappoints, but the a hot dog with chili & slaw just can’t be beat. Add an order of their perfect onion rings, and you’re in diner food heaven. The coffee’s strong & hot — the tea, sweet & cold. The Diner’s a clean, bright, friendly lil place. Stop in next time you’re in our lovely valley.”

“We have never had a better pizza, not in North Carolina, not in the USA, not even in the south of Italy. The Supreme is incredible!!!🍕🍕”

“I'll be dining here more often, for sure. I pulled into the parking lot with a tire so flat it was off of the rim. Someone came outside right after coming in to work to help me change it between episodes of rainy/humid weather. It was so hot and gross outside, and I was going to try my best but didn't even need to start the repair before someone came out to help. I regret that I forget what he said his name was, but I'll recognize him sometime when I go by to thank them, or leave something for the person who changed the tire for someone in the parking lot. They came out so quickly to help and I can't say thanks enough!”

“The food is always so good and comes out fast. Pricing is very reasonable and the staff are great as well.”

“We can’t get enough of La Casa Bonita! We’ve ate here for lunch, dinner and even breakfast (on the weekends)! The food is amazing - a blend of familiar Mexican dishes and less known authentic Mexican dishes, all delicious. My kids (who tend to be picky eaters) have even branched out and tried new dishes, loved them, and keep asking to go back for more. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff is friendly and helpful. So thankful to have another restaurant option in our little town of Sparta 😃”

“They have the best General Tso's I've ever found. I actually craved this food after I moved to Toledo. I never found a place with better. They've taken care of my cravings for years, and I plan to place an order, or two, as often as I can manage. It's happiness in a takeout tray. I hope they never leave us!!”

“If you’re looking for one of Sparta’s local gems, don’t miss Muddy Creek Cafe & Music Hall. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like an old friend. The food is made with incredibly fresh ingredients, and you can truly taste the care that goes into every dish. What makes this place even more special is its commitment to the community. Muddy Creek is more than a restaurant, it’s a gathering place that celebrates local artists, musicians, and the spirit of Sparta. Great food, warm hospitality, and a business that gives back. That’s the kind of place worth supporting again and again.”

“Drove 11 hours to the area for a wedding. Hadn't been back to Sparta in 5 years. Talked about this pizza the whole 5 years i was gone! Needless to say...were driving back home 11 hours with two Tap House pizzas. 😂 Yes. Its that good.”

“This burger kind is above average and the food is actually pretty good I would have to say but it’s still a Burger King it isn’t like a 5 star steak house but it’s good for what it is!”

“It is a great place to eat, clean, friendly staff!”
