    Nostalgia
    Demetris A.

    **RECOMMEND but it's sooo Touristy** Had to stop to see what was going on in Sparky's because there's always a lot of cars, a long line or people walking towards the building every time I'm driving through Hatch. I found out for sure! These burgers taste like a well seasoned melt in your mouth backyard, charbroiled style burger. Lawd Have Mercy!!!! It was yummy.. I ordered 1 plain cheeseburger combo and 1 green chile cheeseburger combo. The potatoes were hearty, but the burger is what does the stomach a few favors. Meat patties are not small/ thin. No garnish on my burger, but there is a place near the drink station to spruce up the burger if you'd like. Please give them a try! Happy Eating...

    Where do you drive to get green chili, salsa, spices, and anything chili? It's Hatch New Mexico. After getting my bags of green and red chili I found Sparky's open. I pulled over and decided to try their self claimed Worlds Famous Green Chili and Cheese Burger. The one pound burger was tasty and the green chili was fresh. The bun used had a crease built into it so you could cut it in half to control it as you took a bite. The atmosphere was old western mixed with an antique museum and backyard garage. Everywhere you looked was an old road sign or an abandoned statue that was salvaged. The booths you sat in were just as old vintage as the signs on the wall. The one I sat in had many miles on it and the springs gave in and I felt every spring. This is one of those places that you stop into to give it a try and soak in the nostalgia but as far as the World Famous Green Chili Cheese Burger I give it a solid score, but not ranked as my top Burger.

    Fun

    Fun tourist place to eat! Lots of parking. Burger was great. Cooked to exact medium rare (what I ordered).... Add your own condiments located by the drink area. Lots....almost to much nostalgia everywhere. Even older arcade games that work. Outside is crazy with tons of photo opportunities. Very busy and quick turn around time!!

    Very delicious and super cool restaurant. Place was packed on a Saturday but service was quick and on point. Crazy amount of seating in several locations.

    Wow, talk about excellent food!!I wish I lived nearby so I could go here regularly. I had the smothered chicken breast w pineapple coleslaw. I couldn't eat it all but definitely took the leftovers with me because I just can't let this go to waste. All the food looked amazing.

    Fun definitely a tourist trap however the food is okay My husband and I both enjoyed the chile burger. He had the pineapple cole slaw and it was surprisingly yummy. I had the chili corn although good it was too spicy hot to finish. Bathrooms are not the cleanest. You order up front and get a pager and wait for your order.

    Hatch poutine? Succulent chicken breast over fries smothered in green chilis and real cheese

    We were here on a Sunday not realizing they are closed Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. If we would have come and they were closed we would have been upset. Tourist trap what nonsense. The entire little town has revitalized itself by capitalizing on their famous chilis. Sparkys is a fun fun place. They are busy but the line goes fast. I had chicken chili. When it first came it did not look special but one bite and I was sold. My husband had the chili cheese burger. Cooked to perfection. My husband asked for their green chili lemonade. I have been trying to duplicate this recipe for 10 years with no success. People come for miles just to see the place with its tin ceiling and corny decorations. Sparkys will put a smile on your face

    It's adorable!

    Holy cow. The place for hatch chile cheeseburgers! We pigged out our first visit with one each--so much deliciousness! Second visit we split one, and they made that really easy! Perfect. And so much to look at! Walk the town and get some Chiles to take how. Yummy!

    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!

    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 #2 SO! I will always order the DOUBLE green chile cheeseburger. Every. Single. Time. Double green chile cheeseburger with a mudball no whip please. Thank you lol Love Sparky's. Hands down THE best Green chile cheeseburger in the state.

    Looking at the week ahead

    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.

    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 love the taste of Premium cut Beef Amazing mesquite flavor And as always a Staple Landmark.

    Statues, especially from other fast food restaurants, abound.

    The best burger I've ever had. Totally worth the hour-long wait. I just wish I ordered more. If you're in the area, you have to stop here.

    Hello, are there gluten friendly option here?

    I seriously don't think there are...you can ask for a bunless burger but other than that, no.

    Came here for lunch on a holiday weekend (Sunday). Inside was packed, but thankfully the outside…read morehad plenty of open tables and the weather was lovely. Ordered: Cheese curds: spectacular! Bigfoot burger and rosemary fries 1000/10 Cashew chicken, which came with a choice of rice (I got fried), sautéed vegetables (delicious) and an award-worthy egg roll. Chicken was good, but not as good as the burger. I think they use chicken breast, I'm more used to having thighs in these types of dishes. Just a personal preference. The egg roll, however was delicious. Two pints (and then two more) of the hef on draft to seal the deal. In short: go if you get a chance, go without any hesitation! Food is delicious, the venue is very cute and service is incredibly attentive and speedy! You won't regret it!

    Found this restaurant on Yelp. It had a good rating but I must say that it exceeded our…read moreexpectations! We had lobster rolls which were served warm. That's how we prefer them. (Never got used to the cold version in Boston.) It was a mixture of lobster and other seafood but quite nice. My side was a green salad with a vinaigrette dressing and it was really fresh and good. My dinner companion had the truffle fries as his side. I couldn't resist stealing a few from his plate and they were very tasty. He ordered a Santa's Nightcap seasonal cocktail made with eggnog, rum, coffee liquer, whipped cream, and topped with a gingerbread man! I had an espresso martini. It was fine. I have nothing to compare it to since it was my first. The inside was nice but a bit on the small side. The booths had been reserved so we sat at a table in the middle of the room. The woman who waited on us was very welcoming. I must also mention the dog-friendly patio, complete with heat lamps. It looked magical decorated with hundreds of tiny lights. This restaurant is definitely a place to try. You can't miss it due to the giant Bigfoot statue on the sign in front!
