I've had plenty of good burgers in my life, but I can't remember any as good as the Bison Burger I had at Spark's yesterday. The add-on selection is excellent and is bringing me right back for more today. Also I really appreciate the local sourcing focus. This is a business I will support and recommend from now on. read more

Great burger, fries and sauces. Regular fries and sweet potato fries were great! Had a great service in the owner was very personable.

Delicious cheeseburgers & bacon cheeseburgers.. Hit the spot!! Also had the French fries, sweet potato waffle fries & fried pickles! Highly recommend this spot!! Fresh and delicious!! read more

Great gourmet burger. Cheese curds amazing. Service outstanding. Be prepared that it is a gourmet burger and not going to be cheap. Love the local sourcing to help out our beef farmers! read more

Great food from locally sourced materials. Leave room for the milkshakes, unless you decided to have the real lemonade (with free refills)- choosing between the two is a difficult choice. read more

Loving that Sparks is located on Seth Child! It's one of the best burger spots and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. They have the best gluten free burger I have ever had! The potato dippers have a great shape to grab the perfect amount of sauce especially the sparks sauce and honey mustard! Ms Jenny and staff were so kind and had such attentive and prompt service. Go to spot for a laid back date night! We finished our date with chocolate malt shake and cookies and cream shake. It was 10 outta 10! read more

It was Thursday; went there for a late lunch. Not busy; two tables including us. Pleasantly surprised by the cheese curds; popping hot and delicious. Definitely will get it next time if come Thursday. Self serving, a pretty chill place. Enjoyed my burger, especially the mushrooms still had some texture rather totally mushy. Recommend. read more

Great burger! We had the specialty burger of the month - cranberry BBQ 100% Bison burger, topped with bacon jelly, onion rings, pepper jack cheese. Friendly and welcoming wait staff. Very happy with our late lunch choice following a morning K-State men's basketball game. read more

Words do not do this absolute gem of a restaurant justice! The friendliest owner and staff, and the most incredible food that will change your life! Not only is everything locally sourced, but everything is so delicious and tasty that I didn't want my meal to end. Sparks is exactly the place that Manhattan has needed. Hospitality, friendly faces, and pride in great food at great prices read more

This was a nice burger spot to try out and I wouldn't mind coming back to it. Probably the second best fast food burger joint according to myself. The burger is hot, the shake was malting, and the service was quick with a smile. I ordered to go but from what I can tell, the restaurant itself is spacious and clean, parking is decent but not super big. It's in a less crowded area, but people should come make there way down and give it a shot. If you're a Target shopper, this place isn't too far from it, try it! read more

Spark's Burger - Spark's Bacon Cheeseburger and Potato Dippers - Burgers Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Girlfriend and I ordered to-go for lunch after being recommended to try it out. Our food was awesome. The thunder burger was so good. It was the perfect combo of mushrooms, onions, BBQ, burger and cheese! It wasn't doused in BBQ either, it was just the right amount. The fried pickle chips were great too. We also tried their sparks sauce, which again we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The staff are very friendly and greet you with a smile. The restaurant has a homely and local feel to it. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a local burger! read more

Good food, locally sourced, nice people and a surprisingly fun find in MANHAPPINESS !!

Burgers were amazing, especially mine with the candied jalapeños. And the fresh lemonade was very good. Didn't save room for a milkshake. The staff was super friendly. read more

Fantastic food at a very low price. Very fun and unique menu with wonderful sides. Owner is so friendly and works hands-on with each customer. Locally sourced beef and homemade sauces and drinks. Our first time to Manhattan and we will return before we depart for another burger. read more

The service was good, the decor was interesting, and I like that a lot of the food is locally sourced. The hamburger toppings are imaginative and tasty; however, the burger patty was flat, dry, and overcooked. It was not the juicy burger you expect at a restaurant, but more like a fast food burger. read more

So, I decided to go on a regular weekday this time... Insanely good. I got a double BBQ Boom burger along with the potato dippers. The burger was delicious, and just the right size this time. The dippers were crispy, salty, fluffy on the inside, and went great with the various sauces (get all of them) The staff were very kind and attentive as well. I ended up talking to the owner briefly and she is a blast. What a good experience. read more

The food was good, loved the nacho and thunder burger. The nacho burger was actually spicy!!! Staff were very kind and helpful. Very family friendly place, with booster seats with tray tables for babies, and there are even toys and crayons available. read more

Was in the area in business and searching for lunch that was the same 'ol. Found these guys on Yelp! and super glad I did. Cute place right in downtown. Friendly service that greeted me with a smile almost as soon as I walked in. Explained to me their menu and how everything was locally sourced and left me to decide. Ended up with a big burger with all the goods and it was bomb. Super glad I found this place and will definitely be back. Price was reasonable as well. Cheers! read more

BEST BURGER IN MAHATTAN KANSAS!!! I cannot say enough about how GREAT this place is!!! The burgers are WONDERFUL. The caramelized onions on one of our burgers was so yummy. Oh, and get it with mushrooms too. And my Veggie burger was so off the chain great, that I am plotting my next trip to Sparks! And while you are there, get the fried pickles. Genny has the perfect touch to all her food. Go eat at this wonderful place. It is worth the trip. And don't forget your swag. I walked out with a great trucker hat that is the envy of our neighborhood. MaryO and Sarah (from California where we know burgers!) read more

Very friendly service, loved the little nook for kids playing area, my family enjoys your food. We will be back again!

Great burgers wonderfull sides, and awesome milkshakes! The staff are always smiling and very friendly! All their meat, eggs, cheese, and dairy are from farms and ranches within 100 miles. I have had most of their sandwiches other than the vegan burger and the ones with jalapenos. The Potato Dippers are unique in my experience and taste great. I personally enjoy the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries. During the "Eggnog" season they offer an Eggnog Milkshake which I think is awesome. read more

Really enjoy going here and the food is good. I just wish they consistently carried the gluten free bun. Three out of four visits they were out. read more

It was not great and very expensive for a burger and fries. The meat should be the king and the toppings enhance the meat. Couldn't taste the meat at all because it was such a thin burger and very dry. On the bright side the service was decent, and food came our very quickly. read more

Great burgers, shakes and sides. Locally sourced and wonderful service. Clean, quality interior with great music. Give this independent burger shop a shot. You won't regret it. And then keep coming back! read more

Best burger (Fire Burger) in a long time!! Very Friendly service and food as quick. Thank you, Spark's. Job well done.

Super hamburger! Great service with Ginny at new location on west side Every product is local. If you have not tried their shakes you missed it! read more

Owner very welcoming & friendly. Like the idea of local products being used. But felt it was just an ordinary hamburger & overpriced. Our bill for two was $35 for burgers & fries. read more

BEST BURGER IN MHK!!! fast & friendly service with exceptional ingredients in every item!

Best burger in town!! Got the Fire Burger, if you like spicy you'll like this!! Get the sweet potato fries too! So good!!

Sparks is a really quaint spot for a burger in Manhattan, love that everything is locally sourced and the different burger selections were unique and varied. Sauces were delicious and so were the home fries! The only thing I would recommed is to order the extra burger patti as they are quite thin. read more

Very good. Owner is great, kind and friendly! I have gone here several times and have been pleased every time.

10/10 service 9.5/10 burger. Can't go wrong with local beef and dairy. Burger on the smaller side, but price wasn't any more than I'd expect to spend at a big fast food chain. The employees were so kind and happy to chat. Excellent sweet potato waffle-fries and sparks sauce is 10/10. read more

The food is overpriced for the quality. Cheese burger and bacon cheese burger with onion straws and potato wedges. Go to Sonic for better quality. read more

Been here twice to their new location on Seth Child Rd. and it's been amazing. Everything from the burgers, to sides, to milkshakes are delicious. The only negative I have is they only fill the sauce cups 1/2 full, so you are out of sauce 1/4 way through your fries. Spark's sauce is one of the best sauces I've had. Don't miss this place! Support local. read more

Absolutely amazing local restaurant! Such good burgers with AMAZING sauce selection. If you're a sauce person like me, this is your spot! The creamy BBQ was my favorite! Amazing customer service with great quality food. Even better that you get to support a local restaurant AND local farmers! This place is a MUST. read more

This was one of the best burgers I've had. Period. Also the potato dippers are to die for.

Amazing!! The women that owns it is the sweetest lady who was very helpful and was working by herself but still was so kind and made the best burgers and milkshake! Highly recommend! Friendly service always makes such a big difference!! read more
