This morning, in between some baseball at Mike Sansone Park, we had an enjoyable breakfast that hit the spot. Quick service and was served with a smile. Always a pleasant and yummy experience! read more

Good basic breakfast in a Plant City classic. Our waitress was great! We had corned beef hash, eggs, grits and biscuits. The curved beef hash was done well and crispy. The eggs were on point. The biscuit was yummy and grilled with butter. Old time diner feel. Nice choice for a breakfast read more

I got eggs over medium, bacon, pancakes and added cheese grits. The eggs and pancakes were good. The bacon tasted like grease and something weird. The cheese grits tasted off. I put a pound of salt in them and they still tasted bland. The service was good. The decor has looked the same for 15 years. It was a nice nostalgia moment. I don't get back to plant city that often. read more

Nice people. Food not good. Portions are small yet prices are high parking is awful. Wouldn't recommend

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. read more

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

Hubby and I frequently have breakfast at Snellgroves. The service is fast and friendly and the food is very good. The ambiance could use an upgrade but I go there for the bacon! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Not a fan and wouldn't come back. 1. Service- 1/5. The waitress had just walked into her shift and decided to tend to our table all frazzled (assuming she was late) and without knowing any of the specials. After running back and forth a couple times, she finally told us the specials but I'm sure she forgot an item or two. All entrees come with a soup or salad...she just assumed we were all getting salad so when I said I wanted to know the soups, she said "you didn't tell me that earlier" snarkly. Mind you, its not like she had to take back a made salad since it was self-serve so I don't know what her problem was. Poor customer service. 2. Food- 2/5. Their "salad bar" was super basic, didn't even have croutons or a variety of dressings to pick from. Lettuce looked a couple days old as well. Mac & cheese was basic. Fried tilapia had no flavor. Buffalo chicken tenders was probably the best thing on the menu. Sweet tea was refreshing. 3. Environment/Location- 5/5. We were seated by someone else promptly at a clean table by the window. Located in downtown historic Plant City with ample parking and not much of a rush. Definitely a "diner" type of setting but also very family friendly. This was the first "restaurant" we've ate at in Plant City and it was a clear disappointment. Will probably stick to the farmers market or even the fast food joints if I'm hungry in this area again. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

I tried to support local mom/pops places.. BUT Will never go back! Went in on Friday 30minutes before closing... waitress may have spoke 10 words the whole time. I said please thank you etc never acknowledge it or responding to it. The salad bar was ugh. Had ordered 2 steak dinners and 2 salads bar,3 drinks and coconut shrimp total 71 bucks The food was blade. The plates we got reminded me of back in the school days tray.. for the same cost I can go to Outback get more for a few dollars less. read more

Beside the friendly and obviously overwhelmed staff and what I would presume to be near expired salad bar I had a somewhat decent meal. I do think my grandfather enjoyed it more considering he no longer has the ability to taste. I don't know what I prefer the watery soup or the eggs that were somehow harder then the crackers I used to add any sort of flavor to my "meal". Either way won't be going back. I recommend the brick house just down the road. read more

Ordered beef tips over rice had okra and mashed potatoes! Delicious !! My Brother had country fried steak and loved it

Old greasy spoon diner and while I like a good greasy diner this one isn't it for me. The portions were large and the pricing was fair but the food was just alright. read more

We are strong mom and pop restaurant goers but this one we will not return to again. We typically share our meal but the pork chops were heavy on the salt the okra was not bad. When it comes to the service it was a bit slow for our meal to come out including our fried green tomatoes which was supposed to come out before the meal. read more

Snellgrove's is a Plant City institution where they've served up home style comfort food with excellent service for a long time. I haven't eaten here in many years. Glad to be back! read more

Awesome Country Style Restauran! Great Service! Great Food! Our Server is excellent and took time to chat with us. Very Cute And Funny. The grilled Biscuits are excellent! Love this Restaurant! read more

I would go back again for the Chicken Fried Chicken alone! Snellgrove's has a daily menu. Many of the menu items are available every day, such as my beloved CFC, but others rotate in, such as Monday's Chicken and Dumplings. Their vegetables/sides also change daily. I went Tuesday, so my two choices with the CFC were fresh rutabagas and fresh greens (other choices were breaded okra, baby limas and black eyed peas). You also get a trip to the salad bar, which is an interesting trip because there are more prepared salads, like coleslaw, potato salad and some others I did not even recognize, on this tiny bar than actual toppings for your lettuce. Finally, you get a hunk of cornbread. My dinner was $7.99. Everything was fresh and delicious. I added black pepper to my white gravy, and the spicy vinegar from the jar of sport peppers at my table to my greens, and that was all the seasonings I needed. Very casual interior, with a large number of tables and booths. Waitresses were friendly and quick with recommendations and water refills. Parking available on the street. read more

We visited for the first time for breakfast. No crowds. Food came out just hot enough, biscuits were awesome, and eggs, etc. very good, too. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Staff and waitress extremely friendly. We'll be back for sure. read more

Ok, came here because the Strawberry hut was closed and it was something close by, but we were really glad we stopped by. The place is small, but very neat; the atmosphere is nice, welcoming, real southern vibe, staff was rather friendly and helpful. You can see a lot of regulars come in as the servers new them by name. One of today's specials, and they have them for every day of the week, was sirloin tips with steamed white rice, which I got and loved it! Buuut... The meat portion was too small for the price, I hate to say it. If I'm paying 8.99$ a meal, I'd like to see some meat on my plate! Granted, it did come with soup or salad and 2 veggies, so if you take all that into account, it is a lot of food for the money. My husband got fried chicken with gravy entree, which was to die for, and he had a good size portion. I'm just saying.. The chicken and veggie soup was really good, by the way, just my type, clear broth, with lots of flavorful veggies and chicken. We got the beef hot dog for my daughter, which was huuuuge and very tasty, juicy and beefy, on a delicious butted smothered and toasted bun. And now we move on to the desert. We got a slice of homemade strawberry layer cake to share.. What can I say, they know how to make a grown woman cry.. I'm sad just thinking about it now, as it's gone.. All gone.. My husband and I devoured it, it was so good!!! Want to come back just for that!!! It was delicious!!! For anyone who loves cake its a must!!! Icing was just supreme!! You could see and taste strawberries in every bite, not heavy, or too sweet, just right. My daughter tried some too,and said it was really good, and she is picky!! They also had a hummingbird cake, which we got a slice to go, looks, smells and tastes delish!!! (I had to sneak a tiny piece to try.. ) So, to sum up, do stop by and try it for yourself, hopefully won't be disappointed, I know we are coming back read more

This is my wife's and my favorite breakfast place in town. We typically eat there at least once a week (usually breakfast, but lunch and dinner is good too.). We have never had a bad meal here. The staff is almost always warm and friendly, despite usually being swamped with customers. And it's the best coffee in town. Can't beat the deal you get. read more

Food is overpriced cold and right out of the can. We won't be back. Don't stop here.

We are new to the area and decided to try Snellgroves for lunch. We were seated quickly and reading the menu set up by days. We ordered pressed Cubans and cheeseburger with fries. The Cubans were pretty good along with the French fries. The waitress on the other hand was a bit older and not very friendly. The worst part was she licked her fingers after she cut a piece of cake and put on a plate to serve, not once but twice. Would have been a three star but now a one. We will not be back again. read more

I only gave a one star because I'm not allowed to do a zero! This place is frikn atrocious! It wasn't even busy and I waited for 40 minutes to get a cheeseburger. When it arrived in the hands of the rude fkng server it was cold!!!!!! The lame ass piece of cheese was thrown on the burger and it was cold! Lol. Fries were cold! Lol. Bun and meat were cold ! Lol. I kindly informed the server about the situation and she took the plate. A minute later she returned with it. Apparently they tossed it under the heat lamp and dried everything out!!! Lmao. I just got up and took my ticket to the counter. The server noticed I didn't even touch it and didn't say shit. The moron at the register (knows) the place sucks and the LAST thing he's going to say is "how was your meal?" Lololol. I paid and he did ask if I wanted my tip on the card!!!!!!!! lol lol hahahahaha. Ummm NO SIR. LOL. Please don't eat at this dump. Don't give them your hard earned money. Show them the power of social media and show them that it's not ok to rip people off! read more

This is the first time I ate there and it was delicious. I was being greedy so I got country fried steak, Fried okra and mac & cheese carrot salad regular salad and cornbread.

I really want to like this place, especially as close as we live and as convenient as it could be...but we have never been able to get over the food...it has potential, but unfortunately, after ordering soggy macaroni and cheese and day old soup and dirty salad bar, aside from the restaurant feeling dingy, I can't say that I would eat here again. I hope Snellgrove's gets their act together... read more

There's always a first for everything...and this is my first one star review. Let me start off by saying that Snellgroves wasn't my first pick when it came to lunch today. I was trying to decide between a few places in Plant City, most of which I got pretty excited about. It wasn't until I clicked on the actual Yelp profile that I noticed that almost everything, and yes I mean everything, in Plant City is closed on Sunday. With this new added situation placed into the mix, my ONLY resort was to go to Snellgroves since it's the only location that is open on Sunday in Downtown Plant City. When you first walk in, it seems like a nice, homey mom and pop shop southern diner. Welp...you're wrong. It's pretty much the worst eating establishment I've ever set foot in. The service was horrendous. I asked for a refill for water half way into the meal...and by the end of the meal, still an empty cup of water. The servers don't really seem invested in doing anything besides talking to one another....I give. Let's dive into the food. The salad bar was disgusting. I'm not sure if there's any other way to put it. I first decided to go to the salad bar instead of getting the soup. Upon closer inspection of the items in the bar, most of them look like they've been sitting there for weeks, aging and withering away. Half of the ingredients seriously seemed inedible. I quickly asked our waitress to change back to the soup because God knows how long I would be throwing up after eating something from that hodgepodge of items they call a "salad bar". I would like to talk about my actual entree next, but it took a good hour to come out. I mean, it's reasonable for food to come out late if the diner is busy...but it wasn't. For some random reason, they just decided to let our food sit there for an hour AFTER ordering and have us starve at our table. When I finally received my food, after waiting a lifetime and a half, everything was cold. No joke, my mac n cheese felt like it just came out of the fridge. The fried okra, which needs to be fried in HOT oil, was barely warm to the touch. I'm not exactly sure why they decided to wait that long to bring out my food because it was clear they left it just sitting there for most of the time we were waiting. Being already disappointed, the country fried chicken was an even bigger disappointment. The chicken coating was soggy and it was very difficult to bite into. The only thing that was "decent" was the soup, which was ruined by the oil-drenched bread that accompanied it. The worst part was they don't even pay for their Pandora station. In the middle of lunch, we were suddenly bombarded with commercials...this must be a joke. Come on, get at least one thing right...Do you want to borrow my Spotify account? tl;dr - AVOID THIS RESTAURANT. The end. read more

Snellgroves Restaurant - Beef and veggie soup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Plant City, Florida

Snellgrove's serves classic American Southern food, the sort of place Cracker Barrel would like you to think exists only in memory. It's got a salad bar, and nearly half of it is prepared mayonnaise-based salads like macaroni salad and cole slaw. Don't be shy! Some of them are salads you might never have heard of before, like sweet-pea salad and kidney-bean salad, and they're delicious. Vegetarians, keep in mind that the greens are cooked traditionally, with lots of meaty chunks. The fried okra was delicious and the macaroni and cheese was no slouch either. If you use a wheelchair, be aware that you will never fit through the narrow doorway and twisty route to the men's room. Service was friendly and laid-back; when we wanted something, we'd have a smiling server at your table in a few seconds, and when we didn't want anything, the servers were cleaning up tables and enjoying each other's conversation about local affairs. In short, a nice place with very reasonable prices, and only a short drive from the interstate -- much better than a drive-through, if you've got the time. read more

I ordered the Cuban. There was no pork on it. It was tasteless. No sides come with it. Not even potato chips. My husband ordered the burger. Pre-formed, frozen burger. Again, tasteless. I won't be back. read more

I am giving Snellgroves 1 star based solely on a phone conversation I had last night while trying to place a takeout order. The man who answered my call was very rude and belligerent. Yes, I understand you were busy but don't be rude. I enjoy your food a lot but if you keep acting like that to customers... you won't have any. My comment is echoed by other people that I told about my experience. My friend told me that they had the same treatment inside by what they believe must be the owner. read more

This is a great mom and pop place. Mostly home cooking, both meals were very good, the portion sizes were average until you realize you get salad bar, 2 sides, a main entree and dinners roll or cornbread. It's a lot of food, you won't take anything with you.... just right amount. The staff are super friendly and attentive. We had tea. Only reason for a 4 vs. a 5 is mashed potatoes were instant, but buttery. read more
