Reviews for Sparks in Spartanburg, SC
Honestly worst food I?ve had, the food has no flavor. The kitchen doesn?t even care to warm up the bread that comes out with the... burger. The okay part of the salmon was the asparagus and that?s unfortunate. We were served an appetizer without plates ????ate on a napkin because waiting for the service would?ve been even more annoying. Save your trip go somewhere else. I do notrecommend for anything. Read more

Please beware of mandatory gratuity charged under a service fee. Went in had a late evening meal on the terrace. Have been... coming here for years and this is the first time that a mandatory tip( charged as a service fee) was added. When asked what thefee was the server said that the manager told them that he should charge the gratuity since were a party of 7. There was six ofus. When the manager came she said it was a party of 6 that they charge. When asked why their menus weren?t noted that theycharge mandatory gratuity. They said that they are printing new ones, that it is a policy that they just started 6 monthsago. As far as I am aware in order for them to charge mandatory gratuity they have to have it posted in the menu. My point is ifyou change your policy at least have the menus updated before you have the policy in effect. Ended up paying the service fee ofover $35 for all of us. Will be going to a place where tips are earned and not mandatory imposed as a service fee. The servicewas not outstanding, definitely had better service else where and didn?t mind leaving a well deserved tip, way over the 18%. Read more
I was there yesterday. It's like what they say with the service. I met a group after an event at Wofford. You have to get your... own service at the bar. That's okay. Prices weren't that high. I was expecting higher. I know we are there for the location andambiance. I didn't put a clock on it, but I have the feeling another reviewer was absolutely correct in comparing the time ittakes them to pick up the signed check versus any other time. They can't wait to get rid of you. Food was on point! We got theburger sliders. 5/5 on the burger. Makes me want to go back and try some other options. Overall not bad. Yes, terribleservice. So long as you're okay with someone that makes a small fraction of your income acting like you're inferior to them,this place will work for you. Good ego check and good burgers. Read more
Every year we go for Easter Brunch and normally rave about it. This year however is not one to rave about. First of all, we made... reservations a week ahead of time. When we got there they wanted to seat us in bar area. I said we didn?t want that so they satus in what I can only describe as an overflow are. We ordered our drinks and then proceeded to the buffet. The French toast wascold. I had ordered hot tea with lemon but it took about 30 minutes to receive it without the lemon. Never received it. Mydaughter asked for a cup of ice. My husband had to get up and find a glass of ice. The coffee cups were filled about 3/4 full.Had to ask for cream and sugar. My daughter picked a piece of chocolate cheesecake but some how the cake above it had pecans andone inadvertently one was in chocolate cheesecake. She is allergic to nuts. So we had to leave and find a convenience store tobuy Benedril because the hotel store was out of it. All in all it was pretty disappointing. We usually go for mother?s day toobut I don?t think that will happen. It?s sad that the experience that we have enjoyed for years will no longer be a familytradition. Read more
So far, one of the most disorganized breakfast services ever. Ignored for five minutes at the entrance. When finally... acknowledged, led to a table that had yet to be cleaned. Then dealt with three servers before one finally took our order. Theyforgot the omlette of the guy next to us. We still have no silverware. My wife got the buffet so she could eat. I ordered fromthe menu. Fingers crossed.... 12 min later, my wife still does not have her tea, no sign of my order ... 15 min. Tea came, nofood. ... 20 min. Food finally arrived. Read more
