Sparky's Burger & fries - pretty good - and a lot of food for the money.

If you haven't made the choice to go and eat at Sparky's, you're missing out!! The food and atmosphere was the perfect small diner experience that I was hoping for! As you enter the building it's set in downtown Anoka, inside of a strip mall where you can get your eye exam done. The diner is a seat yourself place which gives the feeling of being a regular, as soon as we sat we were greeted and offered water. The server asked for our drink orders and let us peruse the menu while getting us our drinks. After they came back with our drinks, they asked if we were ready to order. My son ordered a GIANT chocolate chip pancake with a side of bacon.My husband ordered the Denver skillet with over easy eggs on top with white toasted bread.I ordered the supreme omelet with the rye toasted bread and hash browns with fried onions on top. (If you don't know, that's where you get the extra flavoring for your hash browns) We were stuffed and very content!! Also have to point out that the server came back and forth several times checking and refilling our coffee mugs, we were never dry...that's some freaking good service!!I would say run don't walk, get yourself to Sparky's for some fantastic breakfast! They've been around for 30 years and going strong with their obvious repeat business of locals. Plus while you're downtown, you can walk around and see the rest of the town and all of the amazing things that they have to offer. Such as boutiques and beautiful sights.

Was craving a big pancake breakfast after a hospital visit, and Sparky's was just the ticket! Quick service, good coffee with frequent refills, and the pancake with blueberries was heaven. Ordered the 8a, supposedly the "smaller" breakfast plate. Generous portions!

Sparky's is located in Anoka. Definitely feels like a mom and pops spot in reference to the atmosphere ; decorated with Christmas and valentines decor. It was busy but our waitress Kenna was kind and attentive. Off-street parking. The food was just okay. Pancakes are HUGE but we didn't care much for the taste. We had sausage omelettes, hash browns, and toast as well.

Intimate breakfast stop in Anoka. If you blink, you might miss it-just be sure to get here before they close (check hours BEFORE you visit). We both had the eggs benedict special-one serving was more than enough for both of us! Excellent service from our server, Burette (she brought the Tabasco sauce before I could ask for it). Check it out if you want a small, friendly breakfast stop!

This space I was definitely caught off guard by its appearance- it could definitely use a face lift but that doesn't stop the regulars. This place was packed and we had to wait in a Sunday morning to get a table. The service was good, the food was classic breakfast and the pancakes were HUGE! I love a good hole in the wall (literally) breakfast place!

At the last minute we decided to go out for breakfast and Sparky's sounded good. Love the old time diner ambiance. The place is tightly packed with tables, and they were all full even on a Thursday morning. Staff was attentive Ann the food came quickly. Both meals were good and there was plenty of food, our dog was happy for some leftovers. They offer a 15% discount for veterans, and also have a discount for over 60 patrons. Would go back.

The hash-browns were good. That's the only good thing about this place. Other than that, the dining room was small and cramped. Everyone is super close to each other. My French toast was completely burned on one side. My daughter's pancake was way too big for anyone to eat and also burned on one side. They changed a menu item while I was ordering it and I didn't get one of the things on it, but charged me the same price. Bacon was undercooked and not crispy at all. The coffee was terrible. The pricing was confusing and they ended up charging way more than they seem. They make you think it's going to be cheap, but do NOT let that fool you. It was crazy expensive for 4 people! And lastly after finishing eating, went to go the bathroom, but we needed a key, from Sparkys which was ridiculous. Not worth it. Will not be coming back.

Kind of a weird place located in a strip mall. The tables were way too close together. We had literally whisper cause the people next to use were so close. Price was very good tho, reminded me of prices pre covid. The food was decent. Nothing soectacular.

I've lived in Anoka for over 30 years, and have never gone to Sparky's. Partially because it used to be a smoke-filled hole in the wall, and partially because there were better options with G's Cafe around the corner. Now that G's is closed, we tried this for my son's b-day breakfast. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. It's still a hole in the wall, but no remnants of the stale cigarette smoke. The tables were pretty tight and the Formica tops had ads for local businesses. Obviously pretty dated, as some of these business are no longer open. Lots of local regulars, typical of a small town diner.Our server was super attentive and made sure the surprisingly small coffee cup was never empty. We both ordered the #1, which was 2 eggs, wheat toast, tons of hash browns and choice of meat for $11. Food came out quickly and was prepared well. Lots of hash browns and a generous portion of smoked sausage (kielbasa). We were in a bit of a rush and had to leave behind a cup of coffee, so our waitress offered to give me a sizeable cup to go. Not sure my coronary arteries could handle being a regular, but we'd return.

I'm a traveler from the south. Sparky's has the best breakfast in Minnesota from all the places I have tried. Th only place that can compare to a good southern breakfast! Tess, my server is also awesome...excellent customer service! This little café is just a cute and comfort breakfast spot!Everywhere no matter the business type tend to get behind at times, if you can't be somewhat understanding and patient, well..."bless your heart".
