HORRIBLE DELIVERY SERVICE!!! Ordered at 1:45AM, was told at 2:50AM the driver is on the way, 3:31AM....the order still isn't here. So the operator tells me Sparky's took their phone off the hook so it's just a busy signal....
Posted by Iesha on 04/29/2013
After saying it would be delivered in 60-90 mins (which is long enough), they delivered it 2 hours 10 mins. Worse - when I asked Eat24 where it was - they told me the driver was 'on his way'. It came 40 minutes later. LAME for both Sparky's AND Eat24 (I don't believe they really called the restaurant)

Awful. Things that I ordered never arrived and they messed up the things that I asked for. Very upset.
Posted by Mark on 04/04/2013
By the time my huevos rancheros finally arrived they were cold, and I don't think they would have been all that great even hot. They were out of fake chicken for my salad, and substituted with real chicken (with my approval). They forgot to put the dressing on the salad. Overall not awful but I won't be ordering from them again.

Delivery is slow, usually about 1.5 hrs, but they also indicate that when I order... so I just have to plan ahead. What saves them is that the food is great and they are opened really late (24 hrs?).

Sparky's always amazes me with how fast they deliver. The food is exactly the same everytime. Which is great. Love the BLAT and Mitchells Ice cream shakes
Posted by Chris on 10/22/2012
Why do I even bother ordering here?? My roomies hate the place and think I'm crazy when I do. It's the desserts, those shakes are good.. But the food is typically cold and often times gross. Not really sure what those 'chicken strips' were.. Burger was a nasty soggy mess. Last time, I'm over it!!

My roommate and I are recovering from being sicky sicky sicky and we wanted soup bad. After calling several restaurants to find out their soup of the day we settled on Sparky's, since theirs was chicken vegetable. We decided to split a large order of soup and each ordered a sandwich to go with it. There were specific instructions on the burger (no vegetables, just mayo, bacon, cheese, and ketchup) and nothing specific on the BLT. The estimated delivery time was 45-an hour. After an hour and fifteen minutes we used the Eat24 line to check on our order. The restaurant said it would be there in 5-7 minutes. 20 minutes after that we used the line again. They said the driver was on the block, so we went downstairs to wait. When we finally got our order it was 2 hours after the order was placed. Unacceptable. Well, hopefully the food is good, right? It was all a temperature between cold and lukewarm. The large order of soup came in a to-go coffee cup with the lid taped down. It was the equivalent of a Starbucks Tall cup. How small is the small order of soup then? Neither sandwich came with fries, which is disappointing for a $8 diner burger. The BLT was smashed to bits, and completely soaked in brine from the huge stack of pickles in the to-go box with it. (I hate pickles. With a passion. I would never think to say "no pickles" with a BLT as it is named after THE INGREDIENTS.) I ate the lukewarm soup, which was ridiculously salty, and picked the bacon out of my destroyed sandwich. My roommate's burger was charred (he ordered it "medium well") and had all the vegetables on it, making everything quite soggy, and no mayo. Overall not a single thing was done right. I can't even begin to describe what a bad experience it was. And after forcing us to wait two hours to get our slop there's no way to replace the food with something else. Worst restaurant.

The Chicken Caesar=soggy & tasteless. Burger flat & cooked unevenly. Tuna melt looked like something my 7 year old niece could make, and the Shake was unimpressive. It's a shame!
Posted by J. on 08/27/2012
We ordered burgers, which were $7-8 each and did NOT come with fries. They were fairly small, not particularly warm or tasty, and the buns were not toasted. A side of fries was $3.50 and was pitifully small. This was not $20 worth of food. I placed this order late at night and wrote specifically that the delivery guy should NOT ring my buzzer because my roommate was sleeping, and they rang it anyways without calling me. There are far better burger delivery places and we won't be patronizing Sparky's again.

i've been ordering from this place over the last couple years just here and there to see if it gets any better and it never has, in fact it's gotten worse, this is some of the worst food and delivery people i've ever encountered. run away.
Posted by Benjamin on 07/10/2012
Decided to try the new "Chicken & waffles"...I was expecting Southern fried Chicken pieces, it was 1 average (frozen?) waffle and 2 small pieces of cooked chicken tenders. Disgusting!
Posted by Patrice on 06/02/2012
I got the fish and chips. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. the bread was burnt, the fish was soggy, the vegtables were bland, the mashed potatoes were too dry. BUTTTTT the fries were good.
Posted by Steven on 05/21/2012
Ordered the Belgian waffles which was supposed to come with bananas, strawberries, powdered sugar and whipped cream... BUT they arrived with only bananas. And a bit stale as though they'd been left out for a while.
Also ordered the hash browns and requested no carrots but with onions, instead came with carrots and no onions.
Onion rings are advertised as beer battered but were Costco's finest.
Soysage arrived cold.
Otherwise, food was decent for 1:30 on a Friday night. Good malt.

Terrible delivery service. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get here, and my order was incorrect!

Posted by Skot on 03/24/2012
A bit of a Jekyll and Hyde predicament. I ordered a burger and fries, and that was fine. My wife ordered the Turkey dinner and it was completely inedible. The turkey was hockey puck hard on the edges and the mashed potatoes had no butter, salt, or gravy. Literally dry mashed potatoes. The two don't cancel each other out, however, since the inedible turkey was a bit of a crime.
Posted by Kevin on 03/24/2012
I've ordered from Sparky's at least 50 times and I even spread the word and got my friends to order from them several times as well. The last few times I've ordered the food has been inedible. Sorry Sparky's, you've lost a valuable customer.
Posted by Shiv on 03/23/2012
these people ALWAYS get the order wrong somehow. It never fails! Even if you wait months and months, when there would most likely be a significant change in the people working there, they screw the order up somehow, dont really apologize, just make excuses. In one instance I paid cash, they didnt deliver a juice and wanted me to just eat the cost. Where I come from, if you dont get something you paid for, but someone else gets the money, it is called THEFT.
Posted by Frank on 02/16/2012
I ordered the chicken parmesan dinner. The chicken was so badly burned that it was literally black and crunchy. And yet, their idiot cook just slapped a slice of cheese over it and sent it to me. A complete lack of pride in their work, and absolutely no quality control. I would complain, but they never care, the last time I complained they hung up on me. So, why do I keep ordering from them? Cause when they get it right, the food is good. But tonight it was horrible, uneatable garbage.

They majorly made a mistake with my order. After calling back to speak to Paulo, the manager, he was extremely rude and refused to correct the order. He was nasty actually and sneered. Last time!!!
Posted by Martin on 11/25/2011
placed an order there at 4:55 pm and and 7:40 pm cheeseburger still hadn't arrived so i called to cancel the order. service is just deplorable!!!!

delivery was slow...missing toast, missing whip cream for belgium waffles and wrong topping for waffles.
Posted by Jesse on 09/04/2011
Had asked for a veggie burger with additional vegan patty. They charged me an extra $1.50 for the combo but left out the additional patty! Won't order again.
Posted by Meena on 08/30/2011
Beware!!! They will charge your card and not deliver! Horrible service. I had to call the bank to get charge removed.

Get the breakfast. anytime. It is literally breakfast and delicious.
Posted by Abraham on 08/13/2011
The food is just ok, but what really sucks about this place is the delivery - I ordered twice from this place. The first time took 1h 30 minutes for them to deliver the food. The second time I lost my patience after 1h waiting and, upon calling them to check where the hell my food was, I learned that my order was just sitting there, and they had not even started to make the food. The girl who picked up the phone said 'Oh yeah, we have even super busy, I didn't even see this here' and had the audacity to say 'it would take another hour' for the delivery. Ridiculous. Order from here if you don't mind waiting 1h+ for your food. Otherwise, pass!
Posted by Gabriel on 08/13/2011
Food was fresh and hot, shake was delicious and cold, tons of napkins, plasticware, & ketchup/mustard packets were included. Directions were followed on sandwich. Definitely would order again, and the coffee hazelnut milkshake was easily the best milkshake I've ever had in my life. It was SO worth $6.
Posted by Marisa on 07/11/2011
The food has always been mediocre at best.
Posted by Joshua on 06/15/2011
Ordered the "superb burger," curly fries, an italian soda with almond flavoring, and the bread pudding. Burger was unedible, had the smell of soured veggies, and the top bun was hard/stale.. no not cooked hard, stale, on the verge of mold hard. I never receieved my curly fries; the bread pudding was more of a rubbery square with melted ice cream, and the italian soda had no flavoring/syrup at all. I was completely disgusted to say the least. NEVER AGAIN will I even consider eating/ordering from here. You'd be wise to do the same.
Posted by Christopher on 06/13/2011
Our cheese tortellini looked a lot like it had meat tortellini mixed in, which doesn't really work for a vegetarian. The chicken strips weren't very good. The mint espresso shake was absolutely delicious though.
Posted by Colleen on 05/20/2011
Delivery guy was either cooking onions on his radiator or hadn't showered in 6 weeks. Seriously, where do they get these guys. When I got the food, it taste like it was something that should have been in a baby diaper.
Posted by Brittany on 04/30/2011
The fries were completely cold. The burger was completely cold. The milkshake tasted like sweetened milk. It was hugely overpriced. I will never ordered from them again.
Posted by Fawn on 04/29/2011
I order Chicken tenders and get little chopped pieces of chicken. I order Pancakes with extra syrup and get (1) syrup and not a piece of butter. Fries were soggy and didn't come with any salt,pepper or ketchup. Never order here again for me.
Posted by Brian on 04/03/2011
slow delivery. bad food. it took an hour and 15 minutes to get 2 cold burgers and soggy inedible rings and fries for $30. not good. maybe some of their other food travels better, but if you cant deliver something edible you should take it off the delivery menu.
Posted by Sam on 03/11/2011
Very bad service. I was very specific in my order that I wanted sugar in my tea if it wasn't sweetened and then it was not sweetened, I asked for mayo on my burger and there was none. There were no utensils and I ordered ice cream which was hard. The burger was cold and hard, and with my order I told them exact directions and that I was at work and could not come to the other side of the building where people usually want to drop off orders. The guy finally arrived after an hour and 15 minutes and a phone call. They obviously didn't read the order or just didn't care!
Posted by Scarlett on 02/26/2011
Fast service and great food. Perfect for delivery!
Posted by Marc on 02/18/2011
Food portions were good, but the quality just wasn't that great.
Posted by Robin on 02/07/2011
This place takes a bit long for delivery sometimes, and sometimes its super quick. But I usually order super late and get the eggs benny, they hit the spot!! The shakes are yum, and the chilli isint bad either. :) I usually have had a few drinks when ordering, so take that into consideration. Still my fav late night spot!
Posted by Alyjaa on 01/25/2011
While the goat cheese salad was good, it was literally the WORST fish & chips I've ever had to choke down. Everything was s.o.g.g.y, the batter was bad enough without being wet. Anemic as hell tomatoes, they looked like the color of shrimp. Gross. Not enough tartar sauce either.
Posted by Trace on 01/23/2011
We waited about 90 minutes for our order. When it arrived all was cold and not very good.
Posted by Valerie on 01/19/2011
I said I wanted well done and I got medium rare kind of gross but not bad
Posted by Anna on 01/18/2011
So this was the worst Sparky's experience! I ordered the BBQ Pork ribs, The gave me three pieces of very fatty ,eat and more bones then actual meat. I wouldn't even feed this to my dog. On top of that I ordered some desserts, the bananna split and the mixed berry pie. The bananna split was melted still edible however the Pie tasted stale and the crust was hard. Super disappointed and will NEVER be eating here again.
Posted by Amaya on 12/21/2010
When we recieved the food the fries were almost frozen,(at least they tasted like that) the burger was okay but not what we ordered, and we didn't get what we wanted. A scale from 10 being the best and 1 being bad a 3, We do not order from there because the food is always the same, cold and soggy, NO THANKS :( unhappy customer
Posted by Carlos on 12/13/2010
Late night food delivery with tasty+healthy items on the menu! HUGE win in my book!
Posted by Akira on 12/11/2010
FAST and YUMMY! Always a great late night out, but we were lazy and their delivery is just as good!
Posted by Judy on 11/22/2010
Item was missing from my order. I called, and was told that my item was still at the restaurant and would be going out on the next delivery run.
Called 2 hours later, new person on shift. Was very unhelpful - "It's not here. Sometimes things get delivered to the wrong place." After some pressure, he agreed to credit my credit card for the amount of the item that was missing. The credit never appeared.
I'll never order from here again, nor will I eat in the restaurant itself.
Posted by Ron on 11/12/2010
Order from here a few times already and have no complaints. The food is good, they deliver late, and the delivery boy is usually cute.
Posted by Andrew on 11/04/2010
Brought wrong order and took forever to get fixed.
Posted by Ricco on 11/03/2010
Burger was awesome. Chili cheese fries were the bomb. Curly fries were hot and tasty.
Posted by Ricco on 11/03/2010
Burger was fat and juicy. Fries were hot and crispy.
Posted by Ricco on 11/03/2010
The order arrived after 2 hours of being placed. When it finally arrived, the fries were soggy and luke-warm. My dessert was smashed in the box. The worst part was that the staff never made an attempt to apologize for being so late. The employee on the phone made it seem that I was in the wrong for complaining that my order was late and kept saying "don't worry it will be there any second."
Posted by Alexander on 10/31/2010
These guys serve anything you want at almost any time. The quality is usually pretty good. Only suggestion is to order about 1-2 hours before you plan on eating. Also, check you order when it arrives because they consistently omit items.
Posted by Megan on 10/30/2010
I ordered a B.L.A.T. and they left off the bacon.
Posted by Liam on 10/23/2010
AWFUL!!! Worst service probably run by drunken monkeys with mental disabilities. 3 HOURS later after 2 calls they say, "uh... the number is disconnected". Number totally connected, refuse to refund or even let me speak to manager. Use at your own risk!!!
Posted by Victorianna on 10/15/2010
I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the delivery time. It made me worry at first. I just assumed I wouldn't receive my food and I figured I shouldn't be eating this late anyways. But to my surprise it came within 20 minutes! It actually scared the crap out of me when when I heard the door bell! Nothing was wrong with the food. I wasn't missing any of my order or anything. The food is decent. What do you expect when you're ordering at 2am? If you're hungry at this time, you should just be grateful you can get delivery this late!
Posted by Esther on 10/15/2010
Food never came! BOO!
Posted by James on 10/05/2010
Bad food at high prices. Not ideal, or desirable, thank you. Maybe worth it at half the price, if you're drunk enough to not care.
Posted by Amy on 09/25/2010
I read the reviews after ordering, so I was afraid that my food was never going to arrive. Luckily, my food came relatively fast (30 mins), but the quality of food was so-so. I ordered the fish and chips. The fries were fine, but the fish itself smelled funny and was inedible. It literally smelled like sh*t and it made me gag. Don't order the Fish and Chips.
Posted by Megumi on 09/18/2010
The fod was mediocre at best and it was more than an hours wait. Also the delivery driver made me come down at 2am to get the delivery from him outside of my apartment complex; becaue there was a street sweeping sign......horrible and id rather not eat than order from here.
Posted by Clair on 09/03/2010
It's a greasy spoon which is sometimes what you're craving but all-in-all, I would say it's just an average greasy spoon. Not sure that their menu is delivery friendly.

They rarely remember to put malt in my Vanilla Malt MIlkshake...

The chili is watery slop. They charge $1.25 for each tiny plastic cup of salad dressing.
Posted by Joshua on 08/21/2010
The order wasn't right and didn't give us a discount. What was delivered right was okay. Nothing great.
Posted by Victoria on 08/19/2010
I guess I cant comment on the food since I never received it. The driver was too lazy to come up to my hotel room. He called me from out front and asked me to come down. After searching for him I called the restaurant who said they would turn him around if I would stand outside in the cold and wait. A half hour later I called them back and they informed me that the driver had sold my food to somebody else, but they could re-submit the order if I cared to wait another hour, while it was all ready two hours after I ordered
Posted by Jon on 08/17/2010
The food that was made right was okay. Nothing great, but it was good.
Posted by Victoria on 08/07/2010

Delivery is slow even late at night. The food was lukewarm by the time it arrived.
Posted by Lam on 06/30/2010
I now consider Sparkys my "I need a miracle" of online ordering.
I ordered a "The Works" burger, and was pleasantly surprised at their above average rendering of an all to common standard.
The meat itself was thick and still warm unpon arrival, with the extras as advertised and the requiste condiments amply represented.
I ordered my burger "medium well" and that is exactly how it was cooked.
The fries were appearantly of the Texas size variety, being generous in both portion and size.
Delivery was also surprisingly quick.
I'll admit to having major trepidations about ordering a burger & fries online, but Sparkys put all my fears to rest.
I have no negatives to offer here, and I'll gladly order from them again.
Posted by Steve on 06/27/2010
I asked for bacon on my sandwich and I called to confirm it. NO BACON. I called in and I hope that Sparky's will keep to their word on the credit that they promised.
Posted by Mike on 06/06/2010
It's hard for me to understand the compaints I've read, I've ordered from Sparky's maybe twenty times and had nothing but great experiences. I live two miles away, so everything needs 60 seconds in the microwave, but that's to be expected. I'm impressed that they will drive this far, Sutter and Hyde is a long way from Church and Market.
As to the food, it's been consistently good, sometimes great. I've been all over the large menu, from french toast and eggs to burgers with green chiles to fettucine pesto to chicken parmesan, and every one hit the mark. Add to this the fact that it's 3:30 in the morning and they are bringing food to my door, damn, I love this place!!!
Posted by Andrew on 05/30/2010
Straight forward fund food, on time, and in love with the Chai Shake.
Posted by Bernard on 05/23/2010
Follow up to my previous review written before I actually tasted the food...the food was decent.
Tuna sandwich - bread was a little soggy, otherwise excellent flavor. The fries the sandwich came with were cold but a quick blast in the microwave and they were quite tasty. Chili was pretty good. Quesadilla was much like one you would get from a non-mexican restaurant...so it was ok, certainly not great but not bad for an off hour delivery. Lastly the mac and cheese, as previously mentioned, completely lacked flavor. I threw it away after one spoonful. All in all...food was decent.
I will order from them again.
Posted by Mark on 05/04/2010
Ordered Basil-Bleu Burger, Chicken Fettuccine and Mozzarella Sticks. The Chicken Fettuccine needed to be reheated and didn't taste good. The Mozzarella Sticks were cold. The burger was okay, but like the rest of the order, nothing really special. Service was unremarkable.

First time writing a review.
Haven't even tried the food yet...Will write again it is great or awful.
Order made at 2235 on thursday. driver called at 2319 to tell me he was in the lobby. I asked him to come up (some 20 plus floors via elevator) and deliver my food. He did. I met him at the elevator. The first thing I did was give him a $5 tip for a $20 dollar order. He didn't say thank you. I signed the receipt and I then went through my order with him because many other's past orders appear to have be wrong based on the reviews. I didn't open the boxes but things appeared correct. I told the driver thank you and he left. He never said thank you to me or even cracked a smile. He looked like he was angry with me. I thought a $5 cash tip to someone who obviously wanted me to come down to the lobby was generous. Apparently, I should tip more. With the exception of one indian restaurant all other places have delivered right to my door no questions asked.
BTW, I put a big note in my order asking them to call to confirm receipt of the order...with my number. This note was clearly written out on the receipt...but they never called to confirm.
Posted by Mark on 04/29/2010
It took an 1:15 minutes for the food to get here and the food was cold. Will never order from the again!!!
Posted by Cara on 04/19/2010
Very disappointing. Delivery slow, food soggy & lukewarn, staff was not helpful. Unless it's 3 am and every other place is closed and you're too drunk to drive, order someplace else!
Posted by Bob on 04/01/2010
I'm staying in the city for 3 months in a hotel without 24 hr room service, and so I have to order take-out a lot. I've ordered from Sparky's 2 or 3 times now and have to say that I will not be ordering from them again.
While they have great delivery hours and a huge menu, their service and food quality sucks! They always take longer to deliver than they say they will, the food portions are small ($10.85 for a 5-6" chicken sandwich that is soggy, with onion rings as limp as noodles, and all of it shoved into a tiny little container), and then tonight they totally forgot half my order. When I called back, I was immediately put on hold and left for several minutes, so I called back and asked to speak to the manager, once again I was left on hold for several minutes, so I called back a third time and demanded to speak to the manager. It turns out that the guy, Paolo, that was answering the phone this whole time was the manager! When I complained about the forgotten items and soggy food, he didn't even apologize, just made an excuse that they were busy.
They may be one of the few places open truly late for delivery, but unless you're totally wasted, I would go out and get something somewhere else rather than calling Sparky's for delivery!
Posted by Bob on 03/26/2010
I was really disapoointed with my last order. The fries tasted like old cooking grease and the macaroni and cheese had no taste at all. I will not be ordering from here again

Always on time, Always great food, best variety of choices in town, & yummy shakes.
Posted by Chris on 03/21/2010
i'm fairly certain that you have to be stoned to work at this place. i've ordered from them twice, the first time the cheese sticks were missing but we were drunk and it was the middle of the night so we just ignored it.
this time we ordered and the curly fries were missing. i called to report, and the guy signed and put me on hold for five minutes. so i called back and we just sat there him breathing heavy and sighing, but neither of us saying anything for several minutes when he finally said "i'll send some more, bye" and hung up. really weird experience.
plus the food sucks. the pizza is both soggy and burnt, the fries are covered in grease and come in one big lump, the chicken tenders are just a sliced up deep fried chicken breast, but no batter or anything.
never again
Posted by Devo on 03/13/2010
-Ordered once pretty early 3am or so/ i work the night shift. I was truly disappointing, i had the Gnocchi pasta that couldn't have pasted for acceptable from any restaurant. It was overly soggy/bland and mushy like dough i don't know how you mess up pasta..but they did.
Poor delivery times, Poor food quality, only acceptable if your really smashed. Even then make sure you don't wake up with a tummy ache. Personally Ill pass from now on.
Posted by Christine on 02/24/2010
Always awesome food and great delivery times! Yes this is new! And it is great! Go Sparky's!

Posted by Sean on 02/17/2010
ok, im a regular customer same order 2 peanut butter cup shakes, caramel shake, choclate cake, 20 times in past 2 months. still waiting for order and staff said we didnt answer phone, and gave wrong room number. we denied it all, checked our messages on cell only 1 call from them, it was our call to them, and nothing else. after discovering our correctness, checked the original order we called and talked to driver that was probably just covering so boss would not catch him slacking.
driver was nice, re making our great shakes, and he would bee here shortly.
if you dont see any further comments, were slurping the only shakes known to be delivered worldwide right here in san francisco. at 2 am nonetheless. I love sparky's
Posted by Michael on 02/16/2010
Ordering at Sparky's for 2 years now, even now that I moved to NY, whenever I'm in town, I have my salad or burger. It's delic! I have always special wishes and need lots of Mayo, and I always get what I want.
Note to Patrick C. - Was so nice to see your edit on my bill!:) XO back.
Note to customers: Servers can be busy you know, has nothing to do with rudeness. I'm patient, and always treated super friendly. Besides, be grateful to get food at 3.30 in the morning :D

Food arrived 2 hours late and cold. Even if it was warm, the food was horrible! Never again!

Forgot our 2 soda's. Brought burnt toast instead of a muffin. Forgot our sour cream. All this was written on our 'instructions' template but obviously no one was reading it. Was very disappointed but am willing to give Sparky's another try. Will review again next time I order.

THE PIZZA WAS YUMMY BESIDES HALF OF IT BEING BURNT! DONT KNOW IF EAT24HOURS.COM DIDN'T GIVE THEM THE SPECIFICS OF MY ORDER BUT I WANTED NO OLIVES, GOT OLIVES!

i ordered the fried shrimp and was totally suprised, it came with a big side of spagetti and vegetables in a foil container with flat lid. i looked at menue and didnt find it mentioned most times it would be ok, but i couldnt eat everything i ordered, cause i didnt know it was coming.
Of course, i sucked down my peanut butter cup shake, i love sparky's

wonderful to get a burger delivered

Sparky's is one of my favorite diners in sf. However, it took over an hour to get my food, and was a bit soggy when it arrived. I think I will go to Sparky's to eat and skip the delivery option.

Don't listen to the bad reviews and order the Keith Richard's pizza. It may sound ordinary, but it's the way it's made. When clients arrive late to my office to review film/music and I order this - we can't believe how fantastic it is.

very slow delivery AGAIN!

I haven't ordered from Sparky's since my original review. I decided to try Sparky's again due to all the Bad reviews--insane right? Not so much. I ordered three times. First order was at 2:45 a.m. The order arrive 45 minutes later. They forgot bacon on my breakfast order but everything else was hot and delicious. The overpriced my chai shake was amazing. The next order was placed at 10:15 the following night--chicken club w/ fries, chicken fritters, turkey club w/ fries. The order arrived in 29 minutes. They didn't forget anything this time and the food was equally hot and delicious. The last order I placed yesterday at 7:33 p.m. The order arrived in 43 minutes, hot and delicious. No complaints here. I think the primary issue is a combination of high pricing and bad timing of ordering during traffic/lunch rush etc. For those of you who order during off hours and are willing to fork over the cash, I think it is pretty worth it :)

My daughters eggs where not scrambled. They where sunny side up. I hadn't made that order. I put the details of the way I wanted my eggs. Her french toast was coated with cheese at some edges. Not crispy enough. Maybe it was just the steam. My order was damn near perfect; except it had a wierd after taste to the eggs and the soysausage. Like as if there was a counter top with a little bit of bacteria or dirty sponge used to clean the dishes. I had blueberry pancakes that tasted great. Need to add more butter and low calorie syrup. Wait now low calorie syrup was available. Someone please tell me. Anyway I have ordered from this resturant in the past and had little minor problems with it. Overall ok order.

1st hr waiting: called and checked what happened to my order and the brainless girl tells me its on its way. 2nd hr waiting: called again and the girl now tells me she just saw my order and ask me if i still want my food. she yells and complains that shes so busy and just hangs up on customer who regularly order from this restaurant. 3rd hr waiting : still not getting food
Posted by Seonghoon on 10/04/2009
just don't order from this place
let them get some break
don't give them busy time because they will lose control and will take forever to make even simple breakfast menus
Posted by Seonghoon on 10/04/2009
took 3 hrs for delivery and still yell at customers when call
complains to customers that they are ****ing busy
Posted by Seonghoon on 10/04/2009
food is nice and hot and arrives on time. never had a problem =)

Two hour delivery, incorrect items in order, items missing, everything cold (except the milkshake!)
Posted by Dana on 09/20/2009
They didn't follow request for condiment and they gave me 1 spoiled item. Otherwise, the food was good. Delivery time was about 1 hour.
Posted by Alyssa on 09/06/2009
If the food is delivered to the correct address, it is always easily half an hour late and always cold.
Posted by David on 08/22/2009
I wish this menu offered regular shakes and then one could add options. I ordered a peanut butter and chocolate because there was no just chocolate, and I asked that it be with banana not peanut butter. They sent peanut butter, no banana.
I think next time I'll just order on the phone.
Posted by Lisa on 08/15/2009
Food was cold :(
Posted by Alison on 07/23/2009
Do not, under any circumstances what-so-ever, order delivery from sparky's. they take forever to get to you and the food is okay, if that. if you do order from sparky's, prepare for lukewarm food, 1.5-2 hours in delivery, and only fair quality. also expect to be yelled at on the phone if you call to check on your order, and expect the delivery driver to have a hard time finding your place. besides all that, i give these guys a great reveiw.

BAD delivery time, lukewarm food. totally a no go.
Posted by Joshua on 07/19/2009
Delivery wasnt as long as people say, they called me several times with follow up questions and to asure me that the food was comming. Too bad their food doesnt match their service, burger was nasty, salad was nasty, fries were ok. If high quality food is what you crave you might want to stay away from Spaky's.
Posted by David on 07/13/2009
Food finally arrived 1 hour and 45 minutes later. Food was cold, stale, stuffed into coffee cups and taped shut. "Fresh fruit" consisted of room temperature old brown banana slices and week old grapes. Bag had food spilled all over the inside of it. The driver forgot the receipt and has to come back later (guess I'll be sticking around). Overall just a bad experience. Thanks "Sparkys"! Don't get me wrong though, I was happy to get anything after such a long wait on a non holiday weekend at 1 in the afternoon.
Posted by Megan on 06/13/2009
It's been an hour and a half... Still no food.
Posted by Megan on 06/13/2009
Good food, but it takes at least an hour EVERYTIME I order from them and the food is slightly cold...
Posted by Maria on 06/06/2009
The driver showed up a hour late and would not take my passport as ID for my credit card. My credit card has my picture on it. I will not eat at this restaurant again, either by delivery or at their shop.
Posted by Andrew on 05/25/2009
waited over two hours with no follow up from sparky's

Good and yummy and close by

One of my special instructions was to Please bring extra Parmasean Cheese. I did not receive it and was disappointed. Food was good though
Posted by Bobbie on 04/19/2009
This place should be banned from delivering food. I regularly order from home and this place is on my delivery blacklist...never again. Somehow they become retarded when a delivery order is placed. Or maybe they think 1-2 hours waiting plus nasty inedible easy to make dishes equals happiness?
Cold Nasty Dry Food You Could Probably Make At Home PLUS 1-2 hr. Wait Time PLUS Back Talk From The Restaurant/Driver = HAPPINESS??
Posted by Klarence on 04/15/2009
horrible service...turkey club ca,e delivered hard from sitting under the heat lap for so long... took over an hour to deliver... didnt bring correct food...RIP OFF!!!!!!!
Posted by Dustin on 04/14/2009
I placed my order at 10:04 and my food arrived at 10:42! nice and warm!
great prompt service for a saturday night!
Posted by Joseph on 04/11/2009
Sparky's is an institution. But I will have a hard time ordering from them again, or even eating in their restaurant after this delivery experience. I submitted a debit card payment, and the driver would not take anything but a CA ID card to verify. Even though I had my picture on my card, and my passport! And this is after being 30 minutes late. I hate to say that I wasn't pleasant at this point... no wait, I don't hate to say that. I was pissed off!
Posted by Andrew on 04/11/2009
THEY FORGOT MY PANCAKES I CALLED AND ASKED ABOUT MY ORDER THEY SAID OKAY SENDING THEM RIGHT OUT ABOUT HALF AN HOUR LATER I CALLED AGAIN THEY SAID WE ARENT SENDING THEM OUT BECAUSE WERE SURE YOU RECEIVED THEM WHICH I DIDNT. NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN..
Posted by Markeisha on 04/05/2009
We ordered the French toast with strawberries, an omelet, oj, apple juice, and an Elvis shake and it was all delicious. Wasn't piping hot, but was warm. The only downside was the about hour and a half wait.
Posted by Justin on 04/05/2009
never delivered my order.
Posted by Dennis on 03/22/2009
This restaurant is WORTHLESS!! They hadn't delivered my order after an hour and a half. I call in and the guy is clueless. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
I ordered from them one time before this and it took 75 minutes and all the food was cold. TERRIBLE!
Posted by Jamie on 03/13/2009
The last experience I had with sparky's was that they had I've charged me. When I had called to nformed they that they had over charged me the manager wasn't understanding and really wasn't trying to give me my money back;at this point it wasn't about the money it was the principle. Well anyways I triednto give them another chance last night but again it was aweful. This time they charged us the corrected amount but our food didn't come for an hour and a half. We even tried to call and see what was going on but no one answered the phone in which it rang for over a minute. We had pretty much given up on the food and decided that they weren't coming. We are all about to go to sleep and outdoor bell rings. The food arrived finally but we didn't really want it anymore. The worse part is the food was cold and nasty that our food and money had gone to waste. I can understand that a company is busy but there is no reason delivery should take over a hour and to not inform their customers or even answering the phone. It really doesn't make sense to me that a business has such bad service. I will never order from them again unless they are my last option and I'm really hungry but even then I still might not order from them since my food probably won't arrive. I highly DO NOT recommend this place !
Posted by Ashley on 03/12/2009
I was charged $3 more than the total I was given online and received cold, mushy food. If this sounds like an experience that you'd like to have, now you know where to go.
Posted by Eric on 03/02/2009
Don't eat here! I waited over an hour for my food, didn't even receive my full order,and the food was cold. I'm pretty sure the cardboard box the food came in would taste better than the food itself.
Posted by Amanda on 03/01/2009
I usually order 3-4 times from a given restaurant before giving a review. However, I felt one order from Sparky's was enough. I ordered the chicken fritters, fries, bacon cheeseburger, and the Seattle omelet. The fritters seemed to me a hodgepodge of reject chicken parts, deep fried. Pretty tasty nonetheless. The omelet was pretty good, I am definitely going for egg whites only next, hopefully they will follow my directions. Bacon cheeseburger was solid. All in all, Sparky's offers typical well-rounded diner food. But that's still a welcome addition to the increasing variety at eat24hours.
