Sparkle’s Hamburger Spot

Had a bacon burger. My burger was good. I'm not sure why the reviews are so low. The fries were hand cut and they have kool aid 3 flavors with hospital ice. Which makes the beverages taste better period. LolI checked the full menu and they have breakfast items, wings and tacos. Service was quick and didn't take long to get my food. They have a few chairs and tables to sit in if you dine in. The parking was a little weird. But it's seems like it's parking on the street. Would definitely go back and try the other items. This food was similar to food that I would have had in the house as a kid.

National Burger Day calls for a burger joint review. Since I visited exactly on that day, I decided to give this legend a proper review. This place has been around for a bit. The old location was located further down Emancipation in EADO. This fresh spot is now in the Third Ward area. As of this post, they've done some interior decorating. The faux greenery gives it a nice touch. You can now take social media pics by the neon Sparkle sign. There are tables available, but the place is a bit tight. Most just order to go. Updated menu. Now more breakfast items are available along with a few new burger options and loaded fries and salad is now an option. The haul: Double cheeseburger with fries and large Kool-Ade. If the burger would have had mine salt and pepper on it, I would have sworn my grandma came back to life. Still good. Just saying. Fries are thick and seasoned, just you have to get to them fast or you will have limp potato. That Kool-Ade.....man look. Let that ice melt some in it. You will be siping nothing but colored sugar water. Trust. Overall.....you need to try it for breakfast, lunch, dinner.....whenever.

Sparkle's is a Houston staple that offers well cooked and well seasoned classics. I've never had a bad meal. Daiquiris are nice and strong too.

I didn't know what to expect, and tried this place just for something quick near me. Wow. The burgers are huge! I got the double cheeseburger ($11), and it was amazing. The wedge fries are well seasoned and a great portion! The wait time was a bit long, and only cash or Cash app can be used for payment, but the size of the burgers and the great flavor made up for that. The waiting area and indoor seating were a bit cluttered, but cute overall. I'd love to come back and get a daiquiri next time!

Good food and service for a late night spot. We had fried fish with fries which was really good, burger with fries, and kool aid. Everything was great but the Kool Aid is overpriced save your money. Clean, delicious, good service, and flexible hours.

Caught these baby before it was closing and they were nice enough to make my order. The food is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. Love that it's an after hour eatery...

The burger I had was sensational!! Each one is made to order. The beef patty is huge and very well seasoned! They can add or remove whatever toppings you'd like. They also offer several drink options including kool-aid! If you know, you know the colors make the drink. They have the red and purple, sometimes the blue. No flavor explanation needed! The wait time is somewhat similar to Whataburger since each item is made to order but the quality and portion size, in comparison, is off the chart!! The fries are hand cut and flash fried making them thick and hearty. The restaurant is quaint. Small, but you do have the option to eat inside. Usually, when I place an order I wait in my car and get out to check periodically for the order to be called for pick up. I would absolutely return to Sparkle. Just keep in mind, the street/intersection that the restaurant is located on is VERY BUSY during the weekend. Because of the high traffic volume, parking can be difficult to find. However, definitely a great experience.

Parking is extremely limited so you have to park on the street. I went 06.09.24 & it was hot on the inside not sure if A/C was out but trying to eat in Texas heat with no A/C is unpleasant. They charge $1 if you use a card instead of cash but they did not explain or post signage in advance. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The fries were homemade but bland like the sandwich. Someone in my party ordered the burger which was well seasoned so I guess thats the best item to get. There's also no restroom

Great food we had the wings n burgers. The northside daiquiri a must have . No long wait for food

Never had a problem with this place before, but yesterday, the hamburger hadway too much salt in it. It was really inedible (but me being me, I ate 3/4 of it anyway)! . Got a serious headache from it on the drive home. Ordered Med rare and got rare.French fries were undercooked. Curtis, the cashier seemed uninterested in my comments about th salt.
