I often order their BLT's with a salad for lunch. they are always fresh and come with a side of dill pickle slices. I've also had breakfast there which is delish also. They have a large seating area but they are only open till 3. Service is always great. Ladies are always smiling when I am in there and they are ALWAYS poppin' with customers in the mornings. Give it a try- you may just find you have a new spot to attend regularly as well. read more

Going back really soon to work deep into the menu. Find them on Facebook, Yelp, Google, and TripAdvisor #spartafamilydining read more

See all

Very typical family restaurant/coney island menu. The service, cleanliness and quality of the food is however, not typical - it is far above average for this type of restaurant. I went for lunch a few days after they opened. Being in restaurant operations for the past 13 years myself, I was impressed at how well the front-of-the-house worked together. They also had great attitudes and acted as true "brand ambassadors" by speaking highly about the food and the ownership. By the way, try one of the grinders. Great Job! Update!! I moved Sparta up to 5 stars as they continue to be consistently good at providing fresh food at an un-beatable value. read more

Sparta Family Dining - This is the turkey club grinder. It is as large as a pillow. Order this. It's loaded with bacon and tons of fresh turkey. - Diners Near Me - Trenton, Michigan

I need a good breakfast late Saturday morning after an early Christmas Shop. I remember a friend saying he thought Sparta might be affiliated with the "Farmers Cafe" out in Carlton. I love that place so I thought I'd try Sparta. It did not disappoint!! I ordered the "Sparta Skillet". That's hash browns on the bottom of the skillet then bits of ham, bacon, sausage links cut into small chunks, then shredded Cheese then topped with sausage gravy then Three eggs. It sounds like a lot because it is. It was delicious. I had toast and coffee too. Everything was perfect. The staff was friendly and attentive. My coffee cup was never empty neither was my water glass. The bill was about $11 + tip. Which seems high but there was a lot of food. The only negative was my own fault. I sat at the counter near the door and every time it opened there was a cold chill. But like I saw I'd that was my fault I chose my seat. Great breakfast I'll definitely go again. read more

Good food, typical Coney Island. Service was polite and kind. My father and I go there often for breakfast, I get something different every time and there is nothing yet I do not enjoy. I recommend the western omelette, it is a large portion and you will leave happy! read more

Excellent breakfast at this Woodhaven diner, with prompt and friendly service. Busy in the mornings on weekends. Great for carryout!

Average Food My visit was on a Monday morning around 8:00. The place was almost empty. A waitress told me to sit wherever I desired. There were two waitresses on hand. Staff was very attentive and all neat in appearance. It had been since the spring that I had been here last. The menu had a decent choice of items. I picked the #1 Mini Breakfast Special. This included: Two eggs, Choice of meat ( I chose Ham), Grits and toast. Coffee as usual is extra. Wait time between ordering delivery was minimal. Staff paid attention and refilled my coffee twice and inquired about my meal as well. My plate appeared full due to the nice arrangement of the items. The eggs came cooked as ordered though almost over well. Whites thoroughly cooked, yolks barely releasing any yellow/orange goodness. Grits were thick but not lumpy. My two pieces of ham were heated through and lightly browned from the grill. Fat had been trimmed away. The wheat toast was nicely buttered and had some remaining butter on the tops of each slice. Coffee was average. Atmosphere Sparta Family Dining is located on West Road near the corner of Hall Road. There are an adequate number of tables and booths. Very plain inside with the absent tvs usually found in most places. I found the quietness nice. Noise Level Very quiet due to amount of customers present (7 at time of visit). Meal Breakfast Special: Early Bird Special. (Two Eggs with bacon, ham, grits, toast and jelly.) $3.59. Coffee #2.09 extra Total $6.03 Average price Wheelchair Access* The restaurant is at street level, seating is at normal levels. Small step up to sidewalk but must maneuver around parking curbs There are public restrooms My Rating: 1 Star Ratings range from zero to four stars. Zero is poor, One star, good. Two stars, very good. Three stars, excellent. Four stars, extraordinary read more

Instead of having an owner (Louie) yelling at customers and staff, waitresses are picking up the slack.. It was "uncomfortable"..

Just had an outstanding Greek omelet, top notch! Also the chicken parmigiana is great really everything I've had there is THE BOMB. Do yourself a favor and stop in. read more

Glad someone moved into this spot that serves breakfast, the food is ok but a bit pricy on the weekends, we like places that have specials and they are not big on them, but overall the place is fine. read more

Ham and cheese grinder is amazing. I always order it with an added fried egg. Service is consistently very good.

Charging more money at the register than whats listed on the menu! Be Careful. When I politely asked I was told "thats the way it comes up on the register". Im not talking about a few cents. There was a $3 difference on my meal. Check your bill or go somewhere else for honest service. read more

Food was disgusting. The fries were gross and the cheese put on them wasn't normal. My chicken tasted off, the ranch was watered down. The coleslaw was nasty looking and smelling. The lettuce was old and gross; it was just an overall terrible experience. read more

This was my second meal recently that I noticed has not been as good like there food use to be. I had not been there in a while, so not sure if new owners? Pancakes in past were delicious! This past visit were not. They use to use a malt pancake mix. It didn't taste like same batter. So I love chicken lemon rice soup from any coney island. This soup was like broth and barely had a lemon taste. Tons of huge chunks of chicken? Not your typical chicken lemon rice soup. Very disappointing. I think we have gone to Sparta for the last time. I will be going to the competition down the street ! read more

I love Sparta! My mother and I have made this restaurant part of our weekly lunch routine!! They have an awesome lunch special for $6.25 that comes with a sandwich of your choice, a cup of soup, and fries!!! It's awesome :) we love the vegetable beef soup and the chicken Caesar wrap!!!! Too good! the Omelettes & chicken Greek salads are also great!! read more

Very good food. Excellent service. Friendly wait staff. Bad choice of television programs which distracts from the classic down river ambience. I had blt was yummmmy and so was the non bearded clam chowder. Good value read more

Ordered a meat lovers skillet with over easy eggs for a carry out. When I got home with my food I found the eggs over cooked and the yolks hard. When I called back I was told it was my fault and remaking the order was too big a cost for them. Will never go back read more

Great place! Needed a quick place to eat after a funeral. This place is clean, the staff is extremely friendly and the food is great. It was hot, well cooked and the potions are above normal. The prices are very good. A definite return trip planned when we are back on that side of town. read more

Fast and friendly service. Hands down, they have the best spinach and feta omelets. Prices are great too!

Excellent food with generous portions, reasonable prices, and the friendliest staff in the business. Sparta Family Dining is more than just a restaurant, it's a great dining experience. A hometown favorite! read more
