Snellgroves Restaurant

The food was amazing and the prices a great value the ambiance was amazing and old school the staff was amazing the food was. Hit and fresh

Breakfast this morning (11-09-2024) - affordable, down home atmosphere and lots of smiles. We always stop at Snellgrove's when in the Plant City area.

A first-time visit to this local favorite. I was a bit apprehensive about it, and I had two other places in consideration, those being The Brick House and The Wooden Spoon.But I decided to give it a try. So, first impressions are that it has very dated decor, which gives it a quaint country feel and the other being a place that only locals will go because they went to school with the owner 50 years ago. I ordered the Meat Lovers Omelet with a side of grits and tomatoes and a coffee.The coffee was good and hot. And they came by several times to refill it. After a few minutes, my order came out nice and hot. The omelet reminded me a lot of the omelets we'd get in the Army. This omelet was packed with sausage, ham, and bacon. I believe they used cheddar cheese, too. I don't recall a lot of cheese, though. The grits were done right, smooth and creamy. I was impressed with the tomatoes. They actually tasted like they should! I left there satisfied and on the verge of being too full. The feeling lasted well past lunchtime.So the reason for the mediocre score. Well, it wasn't a spectacular meal or experience. I was only 1 of 4 guests eating there. I compare this with other places I've been and it isn't someplace I left thinking "I can't wait to try it again." I will, in fairness, try it again. But I'll probably go to The Brick House or The Wooden Spoon before I'll go back there.

We were encouraged by a friend to see if Snellgrove's was worth the money. No. We both ordered fried catfish-which came batter fried and both it and the fries were very greasy. I ordered lima beans which were overcooked. We both got salad bar which an added $3 to both our bills. Only 9 or 10 things on bar including salad dressings. When I asked for extra slaw I was told they were out and wouldn't have any more for the day.The waitress was nice-the one that took care of us. Our bill was $42 which is much too high for what we received.

Stay away! This place has the worst food! We were hoping for some good home cooking from this country cute place. The shrimp I was served were the small frozen bag shrimp, microwaved then fried in bad oil! It came with canned green beans, and again, frozen garlic bread with the side of the day, hard black eyed beans! The cheeseburger was horrible as well with French fries not cooked enough! If you want a good meal, go elsewhere!!

Back in Plant City again, I decided to check another diner off my visit list. Snellgroves is located in downtown and is rather easy to find, plenty of free parking available. I lucked out with a space right in front. They were still serving breakfast when I arrived, and I cannot resist that.It doesn't look like much from the outside, honestly, but it's absolutely cowboy-kitsch on the inside. Like the 1980s trend of copying the 1950s. I loved it. Very homey and comforting. I was told to sit where I wanted, so I chose a booth. The whole place was very clean (including the Cowgirl's bath/Room). Both of the ladies who waited on me were very lovely and pleasant.The coffee was excellent. Yes, I love that fancy stuff, but my heart lies with that wonderful plain old cup of diner coffee. Snellgroves has it. I had two cups. Yum.They have a breakfast menu with all the basics. I chose a bacon & cheese omelette, with hash browns and a biscuit. Breakfast came out quick, hot and fresh.The omelette was perfect. Very little brown on the egg, cooked nicely. Good cheese mixture and nice bacon. Loved the hash browns. Nice crunch but not too over-cooked, just right. The biscuit, super light and fluffy; was split, buttered and grilled. Nice touch.I love diners like this. You expect a certain something and they deliver - and Snellgroves did just that. I hope I can get back here soon.

Was passing through plant city .Went here for breakfast . .. Friendly people and great food ..Highly recommended

This place has gone way down for dinner it use to be a great family place now it's not even a place for food Breakfast is great still is but the dinner side is disappointing use to go a lot for bike night now I would rather hit street car for dinner

Hole in the wall with dingy and depressing decor and a creepy vibe. The food was greasy and salty yet somehow bland and lacking seasoning. I like a good "Mom and Pop" greasy spoon diner as much as anyone, but this is not it. Avoid at all costs.

Breakfast at Snellgroves is consistently good! My favorite is their Cuban breakfast sandwiches. Everything is served hot and fresh. The owners are friendly and work extremely hard. Lots of space for large groups of family or friends, or bar seating for individual diners. Clean and rustic, this is a fun place to eat while shopping in Downtown Plant City - there's a City parking lot across the street or park curbside. Give them a try!
