Stopped in for lunch on our way home while passing through town. You step up to the counter and…read moreplace your order, and then you pick a table and await your food. Self-serve soda, with a variety of options, and a VERY reasonably priced menu with lots of selections. The motif is what you'd expect -- small town diner, with improvements to the historic building and a few modernizations. Very friendly, fun, and pleasant service, and solid food. My wife got the Egg Salad Sandwich on homemade bread, and I got the Philly Chicken. We shared the Sweet Potato Fries. Good sandwiches, and fries, and the food came out in a reasonable time. The day we were there they were doing a very good carryout business, and I suspect that is the case most of the time. Definitely worth a try!

The chili cheese dog was made with a huge fat hotdog smothered in some perfectly seasoned chile and topped with plenty of shredded cheese. My husband got their award worthy pork tenderloin sandwich. The picture I have attached will show you how big it is but you will have to trust me when I say my husband said it was the best pork tenderloin he has ever had. Being an Iowa boy raised on those sandwiches, he definitely knows what he is talking about. We ate for under $20 and left behind half of the fries and 1/4 of the pork tenderloin. Wish I had room for some of the ice cream treats they offered.

Sparky's is a gas station/convenience store outside of Lake View, Iowa. It sits on a main highway…read more(forgive me, can't remember which one) that runs through Iowa. There's gas and a mainstay area that has candies, chips, sodas, etc. There is also an area in the back for seating where my father in law goes early in the mornings to drink coffee. - Good for snack junk food, fried cheese balls, Godfather's personal pizzas, warm sandwiches, and burritos. - They also have a fried chicken area where you can pick out a few pieces to make a dinner (it's in the same place as the rest of the warmed-up/fried food) - Coffee is horrendous, even for gas station coffee. Plus there is no liquid creamer option - only the powdered stuff. I have to say, I was appalled at this even knowing I was in small-town, middle-of-nowhere Iowa. I mean... these people drink a lot of coffee out here and there's no liquid creamer? Odd. Overall Sparky's is a mainstay to the people of Lake View. Obviously a lot of people rely on this place for gas and even for eating every so often.
