River Rock Grille is the best place for a Sunday brunch in Downtown Sparta! We ate there this past Sunday (01.20.13) and had a wonderful menu full of hamburgers, egg brunch plates, and chicken and fish tacos. The decor is very nice with paintings, arranged rocks, and lighting. The tables are solid, fabric wrapped with nice booth benches. We did... More

This is a casual cafe. There are lots of good sandwiches. The wine list and beer selection are quite good as well. Service was decent and friendly. When done eating you can bowl or shoot pool. Very much a family atmosphere .

However, the sandwiches are huge - no sides needed - and were good (though my sandwich came w/ no condiments and when I asked for mayo they brought... More

Live on the beach, and these were the best crabcakes I've ever had. Had to go to the mountains to find someone who knew better than to muck them up with tons of filler. Perfectly seasoned.

Quality and service will surprise anyone for a small town restaurant. Lunch has soup,sandwiches, and cafe ground burgers withall the trimmings. Dinner is more limited with one or two specials. Not to be missed are Thurs and Fri crab cakes .

Great burgers, wings and other specials. Lots of beer on draft. A nice outdoor patio with a fire pit. Lots of flat screen TV's inside. A fun atmosphere and nice friendly service. A bowling alley (very retro) adjoins the restaurant!
