Sparta Family Dining

This place is old school as far as design inside but the food is always hot, fresh and delicious. I love their bean soup (and they have it daily). My other 'go to food' is their BLTs with a side of fries. I've had their chicken wrap, chicken tenders and even sat there for breakfast with some friends. Service has always been quick and happy. If you're looking for a cozy diner with some good food you should stop here!

Everything you look for in a classic diner. The waitress was super nice. Coffee was hot. It was clean Inside but did have a very strong cooking oil smell. The hashbrowns were cooked in oil and didn't have any flavor to them. Price was very fair. Overall not a horrible experience, but I'm not in a rush to get back.

Came here with family. Employees all very friendly and welcoming. Took drink orders really quickly, and food came very quickly after ordering. Food itself was really good, hot to the order, lots of variety. Prices are very reasonable, especially given the serving sizes. Just note you cannot pay with Discover or American Express .

This place used to 5 stars. We drive from Lincoln park to get take out because we have been loyal to them since moving away. The food sometimes tastes like burnt cooking oil these days but the real problem is the service. Last few times I’ve been there I’ve waited way too long for refills, once I was given rotten black and moldy cream cheese for my burnt bagel, was never given a new cream cheese and still charged for the bagel. We got takeout a few times and consistently been shorted 1 meal each time. And 2 of the servers can be very rude sometimes. (Middle aged women who look to be sisters) I don’t think I’ll be going there anymore. I’ve been going there for about 14 years. But it’s almost always a bad experience now.

Little diner across from Big Boy. Figured we would give it a try because we prefer to support local owners over franchise places, so we left Big Boy and went across the street to here. The wife ordered the skillet over easy and said it was good. I ordered the large breakfast special over medium (no slime in white) they came over easy....I've found over my many years that very few short order cooks know how to cook eggs properly. I wasn't as happy with my breakfast...stated home fries, but it was hashbrowns. I guess home fries definition depends on who you ask. Usually, it's cubed potatoes to me ?
