Jim Swanson agrees, noting “Sparks Firehouse Deli is a great lunch spot. They open a garage door in the summer and it becomes a great open air restaurant. The food is great and it’s easy to relax while you’re there. Oh and you can actually carry on conversations there too. I’ve only been for lunch but I highly recommend it.” If you want to know what all of the buzz is about, check out Sparks!
