"I have been a dedicated fan of Snuffer’s since the mid-1980s, when Pat Snuffer himself was in charge. The burgers, the ambiance, and those legendary cheddar fries were the essence of the restaurant. Regrettably, everything began to shift after the 2013 bankruptcy when Firebird Restaurant Group, the owner of El Fenix, took over. This move was not just a change in ownership; Firebird aggressively pursued Pat Snuffer, compelling him to close his other businesses and effectively erasing his footprint from the Dallas dining scene. The menu, once brimming with unique offerings like spinach quesadillas and the beloved burger of the month, has been severely diminished. In 2021, they introduced odd items like meatloaf with a sweet ketchup glaze and mac and cheese, which felt forced and out of sync with the restaurant’s tradition. By August 2024, the menu had been reduced by 70%, while prices have skyrocketed. Cheddar fries are now available in just two sizes, costing as much as $17 with toppings. Fried mushrooms are offered in a single size and feature a breading that doesn’t resemble the original flavor. The once-cherished burgers are now served on stale, thick buns that lack the signature poppy seed taste. The crispy chicken, now tough and overly breaded, further underscores the decline. The Greenville, Texas location is in disarray, with dust and cobwebs accumulating on the blinds and windowsills, and the bar area visibly neglected. It’s disheartening to witness a place that once exuded so much charm and nostalgia being allowed to fall apart. Firebird Restaurant Group has taken what was once a beloved local institution and transformed it into a mere shadow of its former self. Snuffer's deserves so much better."

"Upon arrival, we were greeted with a "seat yourself" sign, so we chose a table. Our waitress was outstanding; she was well-acquainted with the menu and available to answer any questions we had. A pleasant surprise was that they offered us a sample of a side dish we were unsure about, which turned out to be delicious, so we decided to order it. While our first two visits were enjoyable, something seemed to have shifted, possibly with the kitchen staff, as the food was cooked to perfection this time. The bread was warm, the cold dishes were at the right temperature, and the hot dishes were just right. I would rate the cooking staff a solid 5 stars. Brittany, who has been there since the beginning, was a true gem, ensuring we were comfortable and happy with our seating. Our waitress, Meagan, also deserves a 5-star rating for her exceptional service. Along with Brittany, who gets a 5-star rating as well, the cooking staff also delivered excellent food. I’m quite particular when it comes to dining, and if something isn’t to my liking, I’ll certainly let you know. But overall, this visit was undoubtedly a 5-star experience. I can't predict how many stars I might give next time, but for this visit, everything— from the warm welcome to the top-notch service—merited 5 stars. The chefs were also present, which added to the overall experience. In summary, this was a 5-star experience, and as a customer, I find that to be quite rare. I apologize for the length of this review and for perhaps overusing "5 stars," but it’s not often that I come across a dining experience that truly deserves such high praise."
