Sparkys BBQ and Espresso

I love the taste of Premium cut Beef Amazing mesquite flavorAnd as always a Staple Landmark.

Sparky's BBQ and Espresso is a retro gem that stands out even before you walk through the door. The exterior, adorned with vintage restaurant signs and quirky decor, sets the tone for a trip down memory lane. Inside, it's just as charming--like stepping into a museum of diners past, filled with nostalgic artifacts and retro displays.The ordering process is straightforward: place your order at the counter where a large photo menu hangs behind the cash register. For me, it was the green chili cheeseburger. It didn't disappoint--perfectly balanced with just enough kick without being overly spicy. The fries, however, were a little underwhelming. They arrived lukewarm, though it might've been the cold day playing tricks on me.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the green chili lemonade. Yes, you read that right. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this drink is a game changer. The combo of tangy lemonade and subtle green chili heat was a revelation--refreshing and unlike anything I've ever tasted.Sparky's is definitely worth a visit for the experience, the atmosphere, and that unforgettable lemonade. While the burger and fries weren't life-changing, the overall vibe and unique offerings make this spot a must-try.

Stopped by on recommendation by a friend of ours.So glad we did.We had the #1 and #2 combos.Delicious, friendly staff who were willing to tell us about the menu options.Old time, throwback, fun vibe.Lots of room for different size groups.Would definitely return!

Go for the experience, not the food.Sparkys is taking over Hatch. All the surrounding businesses have been bought, and turned into Sparky parking. Wow!And you can tell, because there are all of the life sized statues, especially of various fast food restaurants. They are all over, like some kids movie, or maybe a horror flick.Service is straight fast food. Essentially none.Food is ok. The chile burger is essentially just a hamburger with green Chiles on it. Not too hot, but nothing special. Note, the bun does get pretty soggy.Now that I have been there, done that, would probably try another place in Hatch,

Recently traveled down to Hatch a few weekends ago for a sack of fresh green chile. Sooooooo, of course I had to stop and eat at Sparky's. Everyone always says, eat at Sparky's, eat at Sparky's. So what did I do? I ate at Sparky's!The place is fun if you have never been. Super eclectic. Filled with all the things. All the signs, all the statues all the knick-knacks. It's a delight. You order in the front, right when you walk in. The menu covers the wall and your order with a cashier sitting right next to it. Then you get your drinks, yourself. Otherwise, they will call your name for your order. The no. 1 (Green Chile Cheeseburger) and no. 7 (Smothered Green Chile Queso) were ordered. We got fries with the no. 1 and the corn chowder with the no. 7. The burger was good, but I loved the smothered patty with queso even better. The corn chowder was, okay, a little runny, or a watery consistency. Woulda been waaaay better had it actually thickened up. There was a live band playing in the main dining room. So that was pretty nice to get some live music during our visit. Didn't try any of the coffee or ice cream, or desserts. So I will have to start with one of those first, next time.

Still my favorite green chile cheeseburger! Go with the double! I wish they still did the ribs too, but that would only make the decision on what to get harder!

While in Hatch, we had to stop at Sparky's for a Green Chile Cheeseburger. The whole family ordered a burger and potato wedges. We immediately tasted the green chile and it was gooooood. The burger was perfectly good without being too greasy, but greasy enough. The wedges were cooked well and crispy without being soggy. The inside is definitely eclectic. Very interesting decor that makes Sparky's stand out. Our family arrived right when they opened, so I can't speak to long lines. We were able to find a seat and didn't have a wait at all. Before leaving, we ordered lattes to go. They were good but not stand-out. We will stick with the green chile burger next time.

I have to write an update because I said I will "always" order a #5 which is a double combo.Wrong!Guess who decided to change the menu on us? Lol The #5 is now the #2SO! I will always order the DOUBLE green chile cheeseburger. Every. Single. Time. Double green chile cheeseburger with a mudball no whip please. Thank you lolLove Sparky's. Hands down THE best Green chile cheeseburger in the state.

Sparky's is known for its eclectic decor and green chile. They have both indoor and patio seating. We had to sit on the patio since we had our pups with us. Unfortunately, the patio was teeming with flies and ants even before we got our food. Sparky's is a busy place that cooks your food to order so getting your food can take a bit and you need to go inside to place your order. It was worth the wait, The 7 ounce green chile cheeseburger is plenty to share with another person and was cooked perfectly. The steak fries that accompany the combo were a generous portion of crisp potatoes. Sparky's has marked parking across the street and in the back of the building.

Great BBQ and larger than life characters #Sparkys look out there is even a live band in this Saturday that we are passing through!
