My then-Boyfriend/now husband introduced me to Sparty's Coney Island way back in the 90's. Their food portions are large and worth the value. One of the best meals to split between two people is the Sparty's Special Omelette - a six-egg monstrosity with cheese, diced ham, green pepper, diced tomatoes, and onions which we substitute with mushrooms), two servings of American fries, and eight half slices of your choice of toast (it's always Rye for us).This meal is quite filing, plus you can't beat the price point at $19.75. Their Detroit Coney Dogs are tasty and wonderful - getting six of those on Tuesdays for $1.99 each (with purchase of one regularly priced item) is a great lunch time value. Lastly, we've come to know the staff so we'll (Wayne the cook, Jen, Sarah, Heather, etc.) that they are like family to us. The food is wonderful and consistent, the prices are reasonable, the staff is super friendly, and they definitely keep the coffee flowing. Sparty's Coney Island - Definitely one of Greater Lansing's food treasures.
I'm new to the area so this was my first time visiting, therefore I didn't know what to expect. I went for breakfast and it was a traditional American style place with all of the normal old school type venue! Nothing fancy or flashy, but very homey and friendly.
On a whim we stopped at Spartys for brunch. Some of the prices shocked us (the meatlover omelet for $17.50) but then other prices were great. My husband got the smoked sausage omelet and I got the gyro with onion rings. We shared a plate of chili cheese fries. I was surprised that the gyro didn't come with feta on it so I added it. I was pleasantly surprised by how much feta they put on it, as well as how much tzatziki was on it. I have been craving a gyro and I was not disappointed at all. My husband was pleased with his omelet as well. The chili cheese fries were underwhelming I would say. Not a lot of flavor at all. The server was friendly and attentive without being annoying.
Always love eating here. Servers are great and cooks are fast getting my food to us!
An amazing breakfast spot straight out of heaven! Such a great Diner! Best in the whole universe! Such a happy place always fills my heart with joy to enter this famous establishment. The cuisine is made of gold the breakfast is always incredible. Love their orange juice and apple juice and their milk! They are culinary specialist. A absolute joy for the taste buds. I really love this restaurant
Had the Maria's Meat Lovers Omelette with home fries and toast for $17.50 at breakfast. Didn't have the pancakes, but highly recommended if you can eat one.
My FAVORITE breakfast stop in lansing. Busy, fast paced atmosphere. Makes me feel like I'm in a big city with small town charm. Great menu, hard working staff, love this food. Polish Kielbasa with a side of fried potatoes is my go to. Never gets old.
Love a good coney dog and chicken tender pita! Good place for classic diner food and fast/good service. Would recommend!
The food was great and prices were right. Bring your stomach cause it's plenty of food.
Great, simple diner breakfast. Fair warning, the portions are huge! Their service is super quick and the atmosphere is fast paced. Perfect for in and out service.
When I say huge portions, a side of home fries is it’s own plate, and the pancakes are maybe 7 or 8 inches in diameter…?
Genuinely enjoyable place. The staff was friendly and warm, the atmosphere was unaffected and genuine. Note: the pancakes are HUGE. A double stack is borderline too much food even for two. It was cool to see whole families and solo diners as well. Glad this place exists. Feels somehow busy and bustling but peaceful at the same time.
Fast, greasy and delicious - exactly what you’d want from a Coney Island
First when I give five stars across the board I hope everyone understands that's in comparison to other similar type places. This place I consider a breakfast lunch non-franchise privately owned small restaurant! comparably speaking to similar places this is five stars hands down. Service is great, food is great, everything about the place is excellent..
Been eating here since I can remember. Wayne and the kitchen guys absolutely rock it out, and the food can cure even the most violent hangover.
I cannot rate this place high enough. My favorite breakfast spot EVER.
While visiting family in Lansing, Mi. I insisted on getting my Flint Coney fix and so happened to be at Frandor shopping plaza. I googled Flint Coney and Sparty's Coney Island popped up 1st. I ordered ala carte, 2 loaded Flint style Coney Island and a side order of onion rings! Living in Atlanta, Ga. I crave these unattainable delicacies on a regular. I was not let down and got Exactly what I've missed about mid- Michigan. The most flavorful, generously portioned "Flint style" loaded Coney Island I've ever gobbled up! The Coney sauce was PERFECTION, the dog itself reminded me of Flint's Koegel brand meat products. The bun was soft and fresh adding to the combination of fantastic flavors, while the onion rings were breaded and fried that anyone who like o-rings, will Love them here! Yellow mustard and fresh diced white onions added to the Coney's savory flavor making it one of the best I've ever enjoyed!
My family members both enjoyed the incredible Olive burger with o-rings at an additional cost (worth every penny.) The olives were in a mayonnaise based sauce; incredible is the Best way to describe this burger! Lettuce, tomato and onion were the perfect toppings for truly a Great burger!
Service was extremely courteous and promptly administered without being obtrusive. We were there at peak lunch hour, it was full of locals many who were sporting MSU or U of M jerseys, 15 minutes later the Food arrived.
The practical furniture and simple floor let's you know you're not there for glamorous atmosphere, more like neighborhood cafe/dinner decorum. The Food is why you're there and believe me it will Knock your sox OFF! This place is clean from front door to the restroom, a major plus!
Overall I wished that Sparty's were in Atlanta, I'd be there regularly and would recommend this wonderful establishment as a must visit place to Everyone I know!
