We discovered this gem after our visit to the Eisenhower Museum yesterday. We were fortunate to visit with the owner, Marty, who made us feel quite at home. We had the Reuben and chicken salad sandwich, with rich mac and cheese and delicious, crunchy onion rings. We'll definitely go back on our return to Abilene! read more

Great local diner. Menu provides lots of options. Friendly servers. Food was good. I would definitely return.

This restaurant was awesome. The fried mushrooms were amazing queso sticks, shrimp, all the food I had today trying others plates was by far the best I've had in awhile. A must if your driving by. read more

We were in Abilene for a couple of days visiting all of the historical sites. I read the reviews for this place, and we decided to give it a try for breakfast. Definitely not on the main path. There is a small sign on Buckeye to know where to turn. The sign says "Nothing fancy, just good food" and that is exactly right. Non-descript outside, but inside is bright and clean and welcoming. I had a western omelet and my SO had the all-American breakfast. Both were delicious and filling. We spied someone having a delicious-looking cinnamon roll after we were stuffed, so we went back the next day. We each had a half order of B&G with a side of bacon. We ordered the bacon crisp and it was perfect. Very crisp without a hint of burnt. The homemade cinnamon rolls are not on the regular menu, you have to ask, but they have them, and they are huge and delicious! The staff is very friendly and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Great find on our way through kansas. Good good! Good prices. Kids left full and happy. Plus the apple pie was excellent.

Fantastic restaurant! Perfect chicken fried steak for breakfast you could cut with a spoon! Waitress a delight; owner was in and very friendly. Don't miss this one!! read more

Character and kindness. That's why you should go here. It doesn't feel plasticy and cookie cutter like a Denny's or an Ihop and your server will genuinely care about your service rather than some underpaid teenage burnout just working to fuel his nosediving rocker career. I try to visit as many of these types of local diners as possible and this is a good one. read more

This place was nothing to look at on the outside and the inside was just as bad. We saw reviews on here and thought it'd be amazing. What we hoped for was a decent lunch. What we received was a hamburger and chicken sandwich, both of which came from the freezer. I essentially had a chicken patty and my boyfriend had a hamburger from a package. We were thoroughly disappointed in the quality of the food. The server was very nice though, that's worth the star. I just cannot believe people pay $8-10/meal and are happy with something they can have for $2-3 at Burger King. read more

We ate breakfast here on our last morning in Abilene and it was delicious! Our server was most helpful and friendly. She gave us great service. We met "Joe" and he served us coffee and chatted with us. Very good food and a great place to mingle with the locals. read more

Great breakfast served fast and hot at a great price. Conscientious, attentive staff and owner were on deck, and we walked in needing a cup of coffee and left as friends, complete with wishes for safe travels. GO for the food and the people! read more

Traditional small-town America café. Generous portions, reasonably priced, and friendly service. Nothing exotic or note worthy but you get a hearty breakfast to fill you up. read more

Stopped by for an early Sunday breakfast. Typical country style breakfast options. Meal was cooked to perfection and wait staff was pleasant and attentive. read more

Not sure what Merrideth was smoking but Joe's was as advertised by the other reviews and other locals. Salads are huge so definitely ask about a half unless you're really hungry. Burgers are huge as well and the onion rings are very tasty. Service is fast and the people working are hometown nice. Don't pass this place up because of its location and decor. The little places are usually the best. read more

Good food. Good atmosphere. Biscuits and gravy are awesome! If you're in Abilene you should definitely make this a stop on your menu!

Out side looks like a plain bar but when you go in you are greeted by a nice staff. The room has tables and chairs all a round plus the bar . They serve good simple food. And the regulars that come in our very friendly. If in the area do give this place a try. read more

The chili cheeseburger was excellent the onion rings were great. Would go back there anytime . Meals are all under 10.00 and lots of good food read more

We love this place! I found Joe Snuffy's via a Yelp review which read, "Get past the unassuming exterior to the gem inside," and I'm so glad I did! Great food, wonderful service, full service bar. Everything on the menu is yummy and the portions are huge. All around a great place to eat! read more

Worth a stop of I 70. Had the fried chicken special for Sunday brunch. All home made sides, deeeelicious. Service by Heather, awesome. Had to get a mug as a souvenir. read more

What a find! Fast, friendly service, and FULL of customers! We fortunately grabbed the last table available. My dad's pork chops, smoked on site, were cooked perfectly, and the salads my mom and I ordered were fresh, and huge, even though they were half sizes! Best part was the homemade peanut butter pie - rich, smooth, creamy, and topped with tons of Reece's Pieces! This place is the real small town deal. Don't forget to grab a souvenir shirt! Can't wait to wear it around LA when I get back to the big city and show off my Midwest roots :D read more

Drove by and thought we didn't want to go in because we have our 2 year old grand baby. It looked like a bar/tavern. But after reading the reviews we decided to go. Glad we did! Food was good, service and atmosphere was perfect! Will definitely go back when we are in town! read more

Great unique small town atmosphere a few blocks from the Eisenhower library. The restaurant is quite a bit larger inside than it appears from the outside. I had the daily special, which was a pork cutlet, flattened, seasoned and fried with mashed potatoes and gravy. It was very hot and tasty. The side salad was very good. My wife had the brisket, which was very good especially at the price. The prices were very reasonable. We fed three for about $10 each and had leftovers. Our waiter was young but very friendly and had great advice about the menu and the community. Would definitely recommend. read more

My husband and I stopped in to this particular restaurant because we saw the billboard on the highway and we were passing through and I also read good reviews. We were pleasantly surprised at the amazing customer service we received. My husband ordered a Reuben sandwich and I ordered the fried chicken dinner and we were very happy with our food. We are so tired of chain restaurants so this was a nice change, a small town diner type of feel. Despite being stuffed, we decided to go with some dessert and that was probably the best chocolate cream pie we ever ate... We ended up getting an extra slice:) I think besides the food I was most impressed with the customer service... Our waiter was a very young man but was super attentive, knowledgeable, and very personable. At one time or another during our visit I believe it was the manager stopped to ask us how everything was and we made it a point to let her know that we were impressed. If you're passing through Abilene I would definitely recommend Joe Snuffy's! read more

Great service. Nice family cafe with a variety of items on the menu. We had the Hawaiian burger. We split it and it was just right. Had mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Had to add salt and pepper and they were just ok. Next time I would skip the gravy. read more

Stopped here between games during a baseball tournament. Great food and service and the full menu was available before 11:00am. Would definately come back again. read more

Very hospitable service and delicious food! Definitely stop by, you won't regret it. Joe also gave us great tips of places to visit in the area. Get the open-faces hot beef sandwich! read more

Thank you Yelp for the reviews. This place was so good and our waitress was a gem. Fried mushrooms, patty melt and pork barbq were all delicious. Go here people. read more

Only outstanding thing to note is the people and that can make all the difference. Smiling polite friendly ready to serve. The food is tasty just as expected but nothing extraordinary. Of course I only had a traditional breakfast the all American. It met my expectations. read more

This place isn't bad but the burgers are always dry and the fries are always burnt! I have ordered from them multiple times and it has always been the same dry food and burnt fries! read more

Oh my goodness, we started with the fried cauliflower! Fantastic & fast. We had the tenderloin sandwich with American fries & the turkey melt with regular fries. Both were very good & Hot Off The Grill! Our server was very good & knows his stuff. He could answer any question about any of the meals with no hesitation. We will definitely be back when we come through Abilene again. read more

We were passing through Abilene and spent the night in a campground nearby. We decided to eat out instead of cooking in the RV and after looking at the reviews we decided on Joe Snuffy's. I ordered the grilled barbecue chicken with pineapple which came with a salad and 2 sides. I felt like the chicken wasn't done and I didn't taste anything barbecue. The salad was ok, peas were overcooked from a can. The baked potato was decent as well as the giant roll that looked homemade. My husband ordered chicken tenders with tater tots and peas. The chicken tenders were obvious frozen "tv dinner" type....horrible. I wouldn't waste my money going back, I should have stayed home and cooked! read more

This place used to be located in the Bowling Alley located just off I-70 but recently moved into it's own location more into the interior of Abilene. Menu is still the same but now offer beer. Just a simple hometown place with good food and atmosphere. Often has Daily Specials. Closed on Tuesdays. read more

Warning! They want you to eat fast and leave. Got a note with our bill that we took too long to eat. Don't make this a place to meet someone you want to talk with. There are other options in town. We did leave money for twice the bill and then left. Sad that they don't understand the service industry customer is looking for the experience. Wishing them all the best with their unique philosophy..... read more

This is one of those examples that you shouldn't always judge the food of a restaurant by the building's outside appearance. Pleasant staff, comforting food & good values. A quiet surprise. read more

What a wonderful place! Made it a point to go to the Eisenhower Museum from Kanas City (2.5 hours or so). Looking for a local eatery posted on a billboard and saw Joe Snuffy's. Great place. Clean. Nicest young man ever to wait on us. Chicken fried chicken, salad, roll and REAL butter, mashed potatoes and white gravy and to top it off, mac 'n cheese. Hey, go where the locals go and imbibe. :) Great experience and to the young man who waited on us (wish we would have gotten his name, short dark hair), what an experience! Highly recommend! read more

Yum. Great menu selection. Large portions. Staff are very friendly. Fried Cauliflower was great.

We yelled this place while we were going to Abilene to go on the trains. At first glance there is nothing to be impressed about. Same thing once you walked in the door. Other then that this place is really good. The food was amazing, and reasonably priced. Their pancakes were about 10inches and well priced at $3 a piece. I myself had the All-American with two eggs, hashbrowns, my choice of meat and toast. This was really good and again reasonable priced. For two adults, and two children came to $26. If this was a cracker barrel or ihop this would of been closer to 40 or more dollars. I will definitely go back to this place when I go back to Abilene. read more

This place is great and it's owned by a local family serving exactly the kind of food I look forward to in Abilene. Stuff that sticks to your ribs. :) I had a BLT. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and the bacon was extra crispy and piled high. The fried mushrooms were awesome! The service was friendly and attentive without being annoying. A great experience overall. I'll definitely be back on my next visit. read more

We were passing through and just loved the customer service from all of the staff. The food was a hit. We took it to go because we had our 8 month old, but we will definitely eat here on our way back to Colorado! read more

Although nothing fancy, this restaurant serves a very nice quick lunch in an authentic small town atmosphere at an extremely reasonable price. Servers are friendly and the food was ready very quickly. The half size salad was huge. read more

always amazing and typically packed. good home cooked food for when we both get home late or when i'm out of town and he's tired of cold cuts :P read more
