Restaurant review: Snuffer’s service ruins any dining experience

Bitter? I'm guessing you don't get invited to the next lunch.

I'd have to agree with you on the service for 1 out of the 20 or so times I've been to the Greenville location. They actually have a team waiting where you have a 'main' waitperson and then they tag team on refills and such. I've been there when it's slow and slammed and only had one bad visit. Of course this could be the new wave of employees as the last time I'd been is over a year ago.

Snuffer's is one of those places in Dallas that have mysteriously become so overhyped that everyone believes it's the greatest thing ever. Campisi's is another.

This may be the worst written article i've ever read. Does Belo even bother to read what they put out?

@kingbrad2534 - Have you read her other articles? This one is an improvement.

I'm sure she had her driver park the mercedes in an alley and wait until she was done.

I would have to agree with this article. Every time I have been to Snuffers I have had the exact same experience. I am very patient and understanding and rarely am upset over bad service. I am compassionate that people have bad days and sometimes things just don't go as planned. But for the entire place?? Consistantly? I have never had a server that I was able to identify and could never get refills or anything needed at all. It's mind blowing to me. My last visit I literally begged four different servers (when I was actually able to finally get their attention!) to PLEASE take my money so I could leave. No one would! and no one could find someone who was serving me to take it. Not even the bartender would take it. They seriously REFUSED to take my money. After 2.5hrs I finally just left. It was absolutely astounding.

I have to agree with a number of other posters here who have pointed out how poorly written the "review" of Snuffer's is. It is a stunningly bad piece of writing that meanders and maddens with its cluelessness and clumsiness. It seems to begin in the middle of an unseen paragraph that leaves the reader scratching his head trying to figure out its meaning in context to anything that might be considered a legit review.

In any event, I've eaten at Snuffer's exactly once in the 26 years I've lived in Dallas. The experience was okay (nothing special) and the food was equally okay, even though the burger seemed to be actually bleeding on the plate it was so under-done. This was back before the food sissies began to insist ground beef had to be cooked to death. But I rather like VERY rare things and the burger was tasty. The cheese fries cooled too fast and became a sticky mass from which it was difficult to pluck out an individual fry. With every bite I had to ask myself if greasy fries smothered in processed cheese-stuff was worth the imminent heart attack.

I've learned that there are MANY great burger joints in this burg, including Hunky's on Cedar Springs, Motor and Maple burgers & beer on Maple near the street that used to be called Motor, In & Out Burger, Balls Burgers in the Villages of Preston Hollow at Northwest Highway and Midway, Smashburger, etc., etc., etc., as the late King of Siam used to say.

Once a place begins to rest on its laurels, it's the beginning of the end. Snuffer's seems to be proving that maxim. The one thing that will kill a business faster than a Zombie Apocalypse is poor service. I have been known to walk out in the middle of service over truly BAD waitering. Restaurant managers should fear my wrath. As it should be, the diner IS the boss.

Snuffers' juicy, well seasoned burgers on poppy seed buns, are hands down, the best in Dallas. The fresh, hand cut fries are awesome. Who goes to Snuffers for a vegetarian burger......get real!

For the best lobster roll in Dallas, with a pound of fresh cooked lobster, never frozen, head over to the new T.J.s Seafood on Oaklawn at Hershel, it is not to be missed.
