Sparta dairy has been a staple in Sparta since I was little! I always loved coming here as a kid. I…read morehaven't in the past few years because I went vegan and didn't know if they had non dairy flavors. I called tonight out of curiosity and they said they have dole whip - pineapple and cherry! While it isn't hard ice cream, dole whip is still so good so I went. I got the pineapple dole whip and it was amazing! The workers were very friendly, we were in and out in probably less than 5 minutes with a handful of people ahead of us, and the vibes were lovely. My only suggestion would be to add a hard vegan ice cream flavor or two to compete with other nearby places that have vegan flavors. That being said, this place is great and I very much enjoyed!

I Went in for a Sundae that I had been craving all week. I ordered a simple vanilla sundae. When I…read morewas given my order not Only was the fudge dripping down the cup all over the counter and all over the servers hands, which looked very unappetizing, but I was given chocolate and vanilla ice cream, not the vanilla that I ordered. When I told the girl that the ice cream flavor was not what I ordered, I was told that she was "too busy for this" and she wasn't going to make me what I ordered. I ended up just leaving and going down to the shop down the road for my sundae (which was made correctly and was delicious) but when I turned around to leave the girl then said "that's fine, bye". I couldn't believe that's how they treat paying customers. I won't be returning.

I had to try Burger & Butcher after my friends were raving about it, an it absolutely exceeded my…read moreexpectations. The atmosphere is cute, casual, and trendy. I love the convenience of the kiosk ordering. Service was very quick, and everyone on staff was so kind and helpful. I was blown away by their gluten-free menu. They offer gluten-free buns for burgers and sandwiches, gluten-free crispy chicken, and even gluten-free desserts. I tried the Turtle Pie and the Lemon Raspberry Pie--both were delicious, but the Turtle Pie was truly to die for. This was hands down one of the best burgers and fries I've ever had. Gluten-free bread can really make or break a meal, and this place does it right. The gluten-free bun tasted fresh and delicious, the burger itself was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the basil aioli was insanely good. I also ordered their specialty Cherry Cream Cola, and it was so good that I had to get a second one. It tasted like a fresh, sweet Cherry Coke and was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. I sat outside and brought my dog, and one of the staff members even came out with a bowl of water for him. Such a thoughtful touch that made us feel so welcome. It being dog-friendly is definitely a huge bonus for me. Amazing food, wonderful service, and one of the best gluten-free experiences I've had. I can't wait to come back!

***2 1/2 stars***…read more Maybe I'm just not into the concept of smash burgers, but I really didn't get the hype with this one. This was a special request from my top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex, who'd been eyeing up this place for months and petitioned to come here after our NJ Bookstore Crawl adventures last weekend (I wanted to go to the only guaranteed high quality eating establishment in the Kingdom, Farmer's Daughter in Newton but was overruled by the home crowd). I'd heard some decent buzz about it myself and am always up for trying something that looks edgier than the average bear in Sussex, so off we went (even though I had a BBQ later in the day that basically had all of the food that was provided at this establishment - that's on me for sure). The entrance was a little hard to figure out; initially we went to the front of the building but there wasn't an obvious entryway and we belatedly figured out it was on the side. Some extra signage in that regard could go a long way, but not the biggest deal. We got inside, and that's what matters. Very clean and spacious, with some Western/patriotic themes; I can always get down with some longhorn displays and whatnot. The business model/ordering system is a little odd in that it almost offers too many methods, if that makes sense. It seemed like you could get normal table service, but there was also a counter where I think you could place a normal order, or a kiosk at the front to do so, OR a QR code at the table. Lot going on, and ambivalent on what to make of it overall - I guess it's better to have more options in theory, but I thought it was unnecessarily chaotic/confusing. We opted for the scanning of the QR code at the table, which was fine. My chum didn't realize you could tilt the QR display to get a better angle for your phone, but I'm certainly not going to blame Burger and Butcher for that 10 seconds of chaos. By far our biggest issue was the price point. Neither one of us is averse to spending money when the situation arises, but this was pretty egregious to the point where it really tainted the whole experience. We both got a burger and split an order of fries. That was the meal. Now, full disclosure, we got the "better" burger, the Waygu, which was 4 ounces and $15. Not worth it. I think part of is the smash burger of it all, but I definitely didn't notice the allegedly higher quality cattle involved, and I got it plain so no condiments to distract the palate from the essence of the bovine. I would 100% just go for the cheaper burger here, which is $10. The accompanying fries were fine (some were squishier than others, and those found their way closer to my chum for her consumption) but cost a separate $8. It reminded me of Zinburger, which probably isn't around anymore because they constantly gauged you with additional costs for sides like this. And THIS was wild - if you wanted ketchup? No problem. If you wanted literally any other sauce featured on the menu, just a little container of it? At least an extra $2. At a certain point, it's less about the price and more about the principle. And again - nothing we had was significantly better than what you'd get at Five Guys or Smashburger and for the price it should be. The staff was perfectly nice and since this is basically higher-end fast food, our meals came within five or 10 minutes. Fine on that front. But if I want to spend $30 for a burger and side (which is what this came down to, including tip)? I'm just going to go to a nicer, sit-down restaurant with more options and better food. Disappointing and I hope they really reconsider the pricing structure because in this inflationary environment, you're alienating potential customers before they even get to sample the animals.

We walked in as tourists, not knowing what to expect, and within minutes we felt like we'd been coming here for years. That kind of genuine, welcoming energy is rare. The staff didn't just serve us they took care of us. Friendly, attentive, and effortlessly warm in a way that made the whole experience feel personal. The space itself? Think cozy, charming, and just the right amount of rustic. It's the kind of place where everything from the decor to the lighting makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. And speaking of the food... WOW. The short rib home fries were absolutely next level. Rich, flavorful, perfectly cooked every bite hit. Comfort food, but elevated. The kind of dish you think about later in the day... and then again the next day. The coffee was just as impressive smooth, fresh, and exactly what you need to complete a perfect brunch moment. What stood out the most though? The feeling. Being away from home but treated like a local... that's something special. If you want amazing food, cozy vibes, and service that genuinely makes your day better this is your spot. We didn't just find a place to eat... we found a place we'd come back to again and again.

Happy Taco Tuesday in Sparta, New Jersey!…read more I told my friend that we should have tacos for dinner. She knew that Sparta Classic Diner had tacos on their menu, so she drove us there! The interior was really cute with an old school, country feel... and an indoor (artificial) fireplace! Service was efficient and friendly. Our server had down-to-earth hospitality! She knew to offer us takeout containers at the end of the meal because we were so full! I got the Fish Tacos, grilled. They came with a side of rice and beans - and sweetly tart, fried plantains. The moist fish was topped with fresh veggies and cheese! Very yummy! I finished all ofthe leftovers when we got back to the house! Great midnight snack! Hope you had a Happy Taco Tuesday!
