Reviews - Sparky's
Reviews summary
Nestled in historic Hatch, this retro-style diner offers a vibrant 1950s atmosphere complete with neon lights and blues music, creating a memorable dining experience. Known for its green chili cheeseburgers, the menu also features standout chicken sandwiches, pulled pork, and unique drinks like espresso milkshakes and creatively named lemonades. While service can be slow during busy times and prices are moderate, the friendly staff and generous portions make it worthwhile. Though some expect more classic burger toppings, the flavorful Texas toast and honey mustard are crowd favorites. A must-visit spot for anyone passing through Hatch seeking authentic local charm and hearty fare.
Was Miroslava Boudová at Sparky's a mag?
People were on line as we showed up to order. The menu had some great selections, especially with red or green chili to spice up your food or drinks. The pulled pork sandwich with fries and pineapple coleslaw was the best food I had tasted and finished. A nice little stop in Hatch, New Mexico. View all feedback.

We arrived in Hatch around lunchtime on Tuesday, August 9, 2022, eager to try one of America’s most iconic quirky eateries.

As soon as you walk in there are beautiful neon lights all around the mood is set to a 50?s diner they had blues music playing while we sat ate. I ordered the chicken tenders would recommend ordering a burger instead. Although, the Texas toastwas yummy along with the wedge fries ! I also ordered the espresso milkshake and would only recommend if you enjoy the intensitycoffee flavor can offer. Lastly the sweet tea here is surely Texas approved. I could of downed a whole gallon hahaha. Thank youfor being open! (I also included pictures of my parents order of a burger the all beef hot dog.
We arrived in Hatch around lunch on Tuesday 8/9/22 with one goal? burgers at the famed Sparky?s!! As we got closer to town, hungry l, we were excited for a good meal in one of America?s well-known kitschy places. But, alas, we got there and the placewas closed. In fact, all the places to eat in town were closed. On a Tuesday!! What?? Well, at least we got outside photos ofthe place. That was fun!
The atmosphere is great. The green chili cheeseburger was really good (not the best I've had, but good). Took over 40 minutes to get 2 burgers and 2 milk shakes. But worth a visit!
Loved the interior decor and layout, the burger was fair. We both tried the #1 special, burger with green chilis, fries and a drink. We expected lettuce and a tomato and onion, wouldn?t want pickles, but that would have made the burger 5 stars.

The atmosphere at Sparky's is amazing. I had the green chili cheeseburger, which was very good, though not the best I've ever tasted. Our order of two burgers and two milkshakes took 40 minutes to arrive, but despite the wait, it's definitely a place worth visiting!
AN EXPERIENCE! Fun atmosphere. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating options. Not super quick service because they are always busy, but they work hard to get the food out in a timely manner. Not super cheap, but again, you?re paying for the experience of it. The honey mustard was the star of our meal?so good! Of the burger, chicken sandwich, and pulled pork, I think the chicken and pork were tied for the top. Everything was solid though, and this place is definitely worth driving out of your way for. Enjoy!
Sparky's impressive interior and thoughtful layout created a great atmosphere, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the burger options on the menu.
