Ordered from here last night and it was great! We got the Shanghai-noon boneless, Must Have Honey Mustard boneless, and a buffalo chicken salad. The honey mustard flavor is SUPER GOOD!!! A little pricey but they were delicious, quick on delivery, and polite! Definitely recommend for when your in the mood for wings or finger! read more

RECONSIDER, OVER PRICED, ZERO FLAVOR, AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL !! Really surprised at the high reviews.. not worth the hype at all. This my second time here (against my will, my husband insisted..) and definitely my last. I ordered the "takes two to mango" (3 pepper) supposedly this is mango habanero flavored ..Yea no spice, at all. My face was hotter than these wings out of anger, AND no mango flavor!! Mushy yellow coated fried chicken was what I received. I don't know if they use real mango and they aren't waiting for them to be ripe, or if they use mango powder they seriously need to use more. And they're pepper scale is wayyyyyyy off. It was a terrible waste of space in my stomach and should really be removed from the menu The wicked pb+j wings (3 pepper) were somewhat tasty but again NOT EVEN A LITTLE KICK! So annoying.. if I wanted sweet or bland wings, I'D ORDER ONES THAT DON'T SAY SPICY! get your act together Cajun fries = soggy and disappointing like the rest An Hour wait time The only reason I'm giving 2 stars and not 1 is for the M-80s. Those lived up to the name at least. Not fabulous but at least I could tell the difference between them and oatmeal. I guess that's what happens when you use actual peppers instead of whatever the hell they put on my wings Sorry Sparkys, you're just disappointing read more

Went in today to finally try the spiny dog. Last time I had spoken to the boss, he mentioned they were getting new menus. Well that they did and wouldn't ya know, there was an oopsie and the spiny dogs didn't make the menu. But they DO still make them and dang if they aren't good! I got one with mustard/sweet relish and one chili cheese. The dog is flavorful and I believe a natural casing although the "spiny" part makes the snap negligible. The chili is the best I've ever had on a dog. So even though they aren't "traditional", they spiny dog is damn good. The new menu also contained 10 (yep, count'em 10) new wing styles in addition to your old fave's. The pepper ratings usually go from none to four. Their new ghostriders wings have a 10 pepper rating. I'm not tryin' them, you try 'em & lemme know how they are after the firemen put that fire in your mouth out. One last update that I must apologize for not mentioning before, they do sell beer here. So if you are in the mood for a beer to go with your wings, have at it. Note: For the dogs alone, they'd probably get a 4 but since wings are their thing, I'm sticking with a 5 as an overall rating. read more

Sparky's was ok. Nothing fantastic and if you are not a local, not worth the drive. They have a large selection of wings, most flavors lean towards the "spicy" side of sauces with a small selection of sweet sauces. The wings are fairly small, don't go there expecting mondo wings. They also have sandwiches and hotdogs. Between my bf and I we split 20 wings and that was about right (had some leftover). The wings came with a very small container of macaroni salad, which was not very good. Kind of tasteless. I guess the Phantom Gourmet went there are some point and thats noted all over the restaraunt...maybe they used to be better?? If you are local, its a fine chicken wing place but defintely not worth the drive otherwise and btw they close at 10pm. read more

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Haverhill.It started from the time I called my take out order in, Jerry the owner was so nice and friendly. When I picked up the food they were so kind and the food was piping hot when I got there. It was by far the best take out meal I've ever had and I eat out a lot. I got the steak tips which were amazing you could cut them with a fork . Best I ever had!!! The French fries were hand cut regular fries not frozen. On top of it all, it was so cheappppppp!!! Cant wait to go back for the wings! The food is absolutely amazing - highly recommend read more

I have been going to Sparkys for about 4 months now. I found the courtesy of the Phantom, and am I ever grateful! I prefer the boneless option, but bone in wings are great here too. The flavor varieties are never ending. my favorite would have to be PB&J, so far! The black and blue burger with spicy fries is a staple of my Sparkys diet. Spiny dogs look awesome as well. Service is always good, and very welcoming. they have Richie's Slush in tons of flavors to help cool the burn. I give 4 stars due to the lack of Atmosphere and the dining room. But to be honest this is more of a take out joint anyways. read more

Sparky's is awesome! I am fat so clearly wings are my favorite food! The burgers are actually real good too. The wings are meaty. the buffalo sauce is good, honey mustard is great pbandj is OK. read more

I'll keep this brief...I mean, how many paragraphs do you need to talk about chicken wings? Tried the medium heat chicken wings and they were great...tasted like a franks red hot with some butter tossed in....the chicken they used was great...wasn't slimy or overcooked. Also tasted the shanghai noon wings...teriyaki and a bbq fusion and having never been to shanghai I can only assume that these wings would bring a smile to any prostitute in shanghai. I'm taking off a half mark for price (some items are cheap others are over price) but the menu is extensive so even if you don't like wings...there's plenty of other stuff on the menu...when yelp figures out a way to create half stars I'd give this a 4.5/5 read more

As a recent transplant to Haverhill, I have been mostly relying on suggestions from friends for places to try out for some good eatin'. After receiving some good suggestions for places downtown, I am happy to report I have found a gem all on my own. Thanks to their spread in one of the local newsletter/paper advertisements that come with the daily junk mail, Sparky's caught my attention. YUM. Chicken wings, boneless "wings", burgers, fries = fabulous The sauce options are endless (from the usual range of mild to inferno buffalo sauce and honey mustard to more creative options like thai peanut, wings l'orange, and jamaican/hawaiian tropical sauces). After sampling a few your curiosity will be piqued and I'll bet you'll mix up your next order to try something different. Some of my faves: Peanut butter & jelly, Flight of the Bumblebee (Buffalo + honey), Teradactyl (buffalo + teryaki), Dragon Breath (butter, basil & fresh garlic), and Thai Ginger Lime. I generally go for the boneless wings as they absorb more delcious sauce and am not a fan of chicken skin but the bone in wings are fresh and healthy-sized. I have been shouting from the rooftops to all friends and co-workers who even live remotely near Haverhill to try Sparkys & find their favorite flavor. Best as a take out joint though there are tables and tvs for dine-ins, there is little to no atmosphere. Service is incredibly friendly and there is generally an on-street parking spot for you right on Emerson St for quick pick ups. Each order comes with carrots, celery, and a choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing. The macaroni salad that also accompanies orders is very flavorful but the pasta is always a bit soggy. I suggest they cook the pasta for a shorter time so when the noodles absorb some of the moisture from the salad fixings they will be more firm and less mush. You've gotta try Sparky's some night when you really don't want to cook and let me know what your fave flavor is! read more

I've visited friends in Haverhill regularly and this is their most common place to order from. The orders usually take a reasonable time to deliver. Compared to other places, they certainly have a very broad variety of wings, but they are a good measure dry compared to others I have had, where when you bite in, it definitely seems overcooked, the moisture inside wicked away. The size of the wings in general are also small compared to other places I have tried. I prefer on-the-bone wings, but my friends often order the boneless instead, and the boneless seems very dry each time, flaking apart rather than adhering together at the points that you bite. It's serviceable, but not my cup of tea. The wings are relatively lightly sauced, so that appeals to certain tastes. The burgers are okay, but nothing outstanding to me, being a simple griddled well-done burger. However, one highlight is their cajun fries. They are large steak fries that are indeed very spicy, enough that I can only have half an order. They are splashed with cayenne and... Mrs. Dash? Dishes to try: Cajun fries read more

Between the great grub and shooting the Shatner with the owner, everytime I'm here, I'm happy. Like, existentialist happy. Like, what the Buddhists refer to as Nirvana happy. I'm gonna start off with the only negative to get it outta the way. I never get out of there without spending like, 20 bucks. For myself. Which, for a dive, albeit as sexy a dive it is, it kinda hurts my wallet. But that being said, I'm still there almost every Thursday night. So come say hey. Anywho, the food is always exquisite. Granted, that word is a bit too fancy for the place, but c'est la vie. Everything on the menu has my stamp of approval. The burgers are greasy goodness (try the Black 'n' Blue, smothered with blue cheese), and the Steak Tips are marinated and juicy. But those are all the side dishes. You come here for the wings. The team of Mad Scientists behind the counter have somehow come up with some of the most delicious combinations known to man. From the simple, yet genius Dragon's Breath (Butter, Garlic and Herbs? Get me some some linguini and I'll be a happy fat man), to the way out there Peanut Butter and Jelly wings (Don't be scared. Do it. DO. IT.), there's something out there for every one. Sides dishes are sometimes a bit on the pricy side, but very worth it. Personal favourites include the zesty Cajun Fries (try them with cheese and bacon. Mmm. Bacon), the Jack and Blue Cheese cheesesticks (complete with a side of spicy buffalo), to the sinister M-80s (the Jalapeno popper's older, angrier brother who probably has been to prison but we don't talk about that infront of Grandma). Finally, to top off the meal, Richie's Italian ice. It's like a flash back to my childhood around the beaches. Although, I really, really wish they'd bring back the Coffee slush. It was like an after-dinner coffee to help me cope with the fire on my tongue after noshing on some spicy wings. Long story short: Don't even think about it. Go there. Now. Great to go on Friday night to put a not-so-healthy layer of grease before going drinking. read more

i've been eating here about once a week for the last year and it's one of my favorite places ever. i get the bacon burger and usually the Aloha Boneless Wings but i switch it up sometimes. i don't do spicy stuff and be careful when looking at the menu(in store or if you have one of their pamphlet menus) because they use little chilies next to the saucename to tell you how hot the sauce is but the menu is mostly red so sometimes you miss the five chilies and accidentallly order a wicked hot sauce which i learned quickly but every now and then still mess up. anyways, their food is perfect and holy cow they have quite a big menu. like, almost anything you can think of except for pizza which is funny because one time i went there and the owner was on the phone w someone who was trying to order a pizza and then when he found out they didn't make pizza the person just wanted a salad (what is this logic?) but yes amazing menu. also they give you a little bit of macaroni salad, two pieces of celery and a little carrot with your food so you have a nutritious balanced meal read more

Great wings! No doubt, no doubt! We made a major detour to swing by and pick up some wings last night. I was the opposite of disappointed, too. Thank you Frannie, for cluing me into this joint! Not that I'm up this way all too often, but we will plan on picking up wings, while even remotely near here! We got the Honey Garlic, and the Shanghai Noon flavors. Very yummy! Quick note: pick up the menu, there's flavors there, that haven't made it to the Posted menu, yet. Like, the Tuscan Wings, which I would have tried. read more

I have been pretty drunk here and they've never thrown me out. I love the wings. They've got a metric ass-load of different flavors to choose from. Now, I'm a traditional kind of gal so I usually go for some type of hot wing. Tell them you've been to a Turkish prison and that their "double-trouble wings" present no trouble at all; they'll upgrade you to a much hotter variety. BURN MY FACE OFF!!! read more

I really wanted to like this place. The food was pretty great, so was the dive wing-place atmosphere. However, going 2 stars due to the content they have on the TV. It was some cable TMZ-like show where someone was dragging around a nude (but pixellated) woman by her hair while on-screen men laughed and laughed. As did some of the patrons on the viewing end in this place. This was pretty demeaning to my wife and young daughter who were with me. I had to ask them to change it, which they did and which was nice of the guy behind the counter. But it just really put a bad taste in our mouth. Unfortunately we probably won't come back here as a family, if at all. read more

Got delivery tonight, first time trying it out. Chicken is off the hook, perfect crispy breading, perfectly cooked, juicy whole tenderloins and cuts from the fat ends, no dried up jerky pieces. Sauces were perfect, I got PB&J, and Dragons Breath. The PB&J starts off like a sweet, and spicy flavor but has a peanut butter finish, and mouth feel. Not too spicy as to be overwhelming, but your sissy friends will probably act like they just drank from a Bessemer furnace ladle. The Dragons Breath was nice, not greasy, lots if garlic and basil taste infused into the butter, it definitely tastes more like clarified ghee, instead if whole butter, so might be ok for folks with lactose issues. I also got the Cajun Fries, and a side of Macaroni Salad. The fries were standard frozen steak fries, of good quality. I asked for them super extra crispified. Maybe I wasn't clear as to how crispy that should be. They were still tasty, and the seasoning was spicy and hot, without being overly salty. The macaroni salad was, very under seasoned, which was actually a nice foil to the super aggressive flavor of the fries and chicken, it was very light dressed with fine chopped onion and green bell peppers, Overall it's a solid 4, some things I'd tweak, but I honestly can't say anything remotely negative about the experience overall. Will definitely be back and recommend it highly. Well worth the money. read more

Sparky's Wings and Things - PB&J and Dragons Breath. Killer, super crunchy breading, thick juicy whole tenderloins. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Haverhill, Massachusetts

I was hoping for a better experience from Sparky's but my first visit here was a little bit of a let down. We tried to call ahead to place a takeout order but nobody answered the phone. So we figured we would just head on down and place the order there. It shouldn't take too long to fry up 10 wings and coat them in wing sauce, right?...WRONG! We got there and 2 people were waiting for their food ahead of us. I ordered 10 wings with the Flight Of The Bumblebee sauce flavor. After waiting for 45 minutes I finally was able to taste them. I'll give their taste 4 stars. Restaurants around here don't do wings very well but these were definitely right on the mark. I will probably go here again because I really need to try the PB & J flavor that people rave about. The Flight Of The Bumblebee sauce was lacking the spicyness that I was hoping they would have but that's okay. Also, the price here seems a little steep for what you get. read more

Best wings anywhere around hands down! The cooks are awesome always nail my order exactly how I ask for it. The choice of sauce flavors are insane and they're always super fresh. Love this place been going here for over 5 years and never had a bad experience read more

best. chicken. ever. I love this place. I love the prices. I love the couple who runs it. Always yummy and fresh with a great selection of wing sauces and rubs. I recommend 1. healthy choice grilled chix wrap 2. Bayou dry rub chix fingers 3. Cajun fries. They aren't open on Tuesdays, which seems to be the day I crave them... read more

A little better than average chicken wings. Definetely overpriced. Shouldn't be $19 and change for 15 wings and a drink. I had teryaki and hickory bbq, tasted good, but not amazed or blown away like some ppl say. If youve ever had Wings Over....(insert town name, Ex. Wings over Worcester) you would know that these are NOT the best wings in MA. Doesnt seem like there are many other options around though. I will keep looking before i settle on this being my usual wing spot, especially cuz of $. Service was fine, no complaints there, i ate in. Overall: Good/average wings, but pricey and real tough to find parking read more

This place is thebomb.com The wings are incredible. My wife and I have gotten a couple flavors of boneless delivered. Her favorite is Shanghai Noon. I haven't found a favorite yet. I really like spicy food, but hate when you get the food too spicy to eat, so I have been easing into the spicier realm. From what I can tell thus far, the 3 star spicy food is not that spicy. The wing sauce is always great and sticks to the wing well. They're not super messy to eat either. The best part about these bad Larry's is that even after a delivery trip the wings are still crispy underneath the saucy goodness. Don't waste your time with the sides. The only notably good one we've tried is the macaroni salad, which is great. The fries are meh... and the cheese fries with bacon would be great if they would exercise a little restraint in drowning these fried roots in cheese sauce. The things were swimming in it. Like literally, when I got an order, I couldn't even see french fries. This is the place to go if you are craving chicken in Haverhill. F Chicken Connection. read more

If you want to sit at a dirty table and have your feet stick to the floor as they take bags of frozen chicken out of the freezer behind you to bring to the kitchen to cook this is the place for you. I feel like I need a tetanus shot now. read more

First you go here for the wings... not the decor. As far as atmosphere and building goes, it is a hole in the wall which means it's gonna be a great wing place. The wings: Where to start? They have everything ranging from mild to wild. My favorites are the Dragon's Breath and Double Trouble. Double Trouble is nice and spicy without killing the flavor of the rest of the sauce. If you like garlic, Dragon's Breath is for you. All the sauces are quality though. The staff: They seem to be a close group of friends. They have fun and entertain all why putting out kick ass wings. They are extremely friendly and helpful. Overall, what you see is what you get. Great, simple, kick ass wings. Highly recommend. read more

i dont know where to begin! most awesome wings! so many choices of sauces dips & glazes uniquely named! best in the area! call early on game days cuz line will be out the door & thats just to pick up orders! staff always pleasant & the owner is standing at the stove or at register most days! he cares about his business! read more

This has become my fiance's "go-to" restaurant for ordering out. Back when I was eating meat, sparky's chicken was the hardest to let go. I love that they have so many different sauces to order from and there combos for sauces are amazing! Whenever we order from here I will ask for extra sparky's sauces to put on the macaroni salad or even use as dressing for the salads! The only two issues I have is the lack of vegetarian options and that the salads have a lot of water in them. read more

Sparky's is my all time favorite wing place. It has a variety of flavors that never disappoint! They're always friendly, I go there with my boyfriend all the time for our usual Vermonster Wings. I highly recommend going there if you're craving some amazing wings. read more

So I moved to Haverhill about two years ago. We get mail of random nearby places menus. Sparky's was one of the first batch we got. We read through and contemplated going for the Trouble/Double Trouble wings. Honestly, I don't even know why we waited as long as we did (barring bills). We have been going AT LEAST once a month when we have the extra money around. Sometimes more. We nearly always get the Double Trouble, on the bone. However, this last time was a bit different. They FINALLY had the dried Ghost Peppers to make their Ghost Riders. I ordered 10 of those in addition to the normal 20 DTs. Let me inform you, those are not to be trifled with. The spicy is latent for a few seconds after you bite into it. Then it smacks you in the mouth with a hot iron. It was heavenly. The burn lasted quite some time, and it wasn't a bad type of burn. I didn't even think of drinking anything. Awesome no? It is, when they have them. They usually sell out of them pretty fast, but this was a Friday night. I've asked a couple times before, and they always had run out. This time I was lucky. The sides are, as others have mentioned, mediocre at best, but I like them anyway. The burgers are pretty good, too, though the buns they use are useless if you get anything other than a normal cheeseburger; I had the Nacho Burger (If I remember correctly), and it almost fell apart the second I picked it up. Parking isn't usually a problem; there are two sides to the street, and a parking lot or two you can try to park in, if you are just picking up some food. If you are into the spicy, and like chicken (and who DOESN'T!?), then Sparky's is the place in Haverhill. Possibly in the Merrimack Valley. DO IT. read more

Have been going here for the past 5 years. Use to go once a week sometimes twice. Food use to be amazing and the customer service was something to make you feel at home. In the past year or so new owners came in and food quality (wings and sauce) has taken a dive along with the customer service. More of a miss than hit and for those of you who have reviewed the double trouble wings. I got those 5 years ago first time going there and my reaction was hot damn these have a burn. Now I barely go in because my reaction to the same wings is did they give me hot rod wings instead? Made so many attempts to go back and the food to be better but it's just worse and worse. Years ago it was about good food now it seems to just be about the money of a once great wing restaurant. - A former patron and GHOST RIDER CHALLENGER VICTOR read more

Let me start by saying... YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY. I love this place. I normally get the craving around Friday. It is one of those things that once you start thinking about it... you just can't stop until you get some. My favs are the Honey Garlic Boneless... but I also like the Ginger Lime in a wrap. DAMN... they are closed on Tuesdays which is a down fall. ok..so now it is Tuesday... and I am starting to get the craving... what am I to do... guess I will wait till tomorrow. SIGH read more

Really nice guys that work there. The menu is pretty big and had a lot of options. I didn't know they did burgers and sandwiches too. I got a buffalo chicken sandwich and fries and for around $7.50 the portions were big. Good food at an affordable price. The PB$J wings are a must try. They also deliver, which I didn't know either. I ate in. I'll try the Salem location next. read more

I enjoyed this place. It wasn't expensive and I got PB&J wings (It works, I'm not sure how, but it works), and the hottest wings they had (please note I was disappointed that they were out of the ghost rider sauce). I would recommend spending the extra on boneless instead of actual wings as it is just a lot more meat. read more

This is one of my favorite resturant for chicken wings. They have very good choices of sauce they can add to the wings. They have everything from sweet chicken (peanut butter and jelly) to crazy hot (Ghostrider). My most favorite here is Cajun chicken Sandwich with Cajun steak fries on side. We have also got catering order from here too friends loved the wings. read more

I was expecting more I guess from the reviews...got a bit scared so I ordered the mild but wild Buffalo wings dinner. This came with a side salad and fry. In a whole, the dinner was alright...nothing to write home about. The sauce was very mild. I say if you want a bit of heat, order next level up. If your craving wings, Sparky's will hit the spot. read more
