Quaint!

First impressions:
-I would avoid trying to park in the lot. Spots aren't marked well and there is no way to exit out the back if another car pulls in behind you.
-The building is pretty run down and does not have any seating for those waiting for a table aside from a bench outside of the double doors in front of the restaurant.
-The decor is dated and the walls and floor are old enough that I don't think any amount of scrubbing would make them appear clean.

The experience:
-We arrived around 10:50 and waited about 10 minutes for a table. The restaurant was full, but what I would expect for a Sunday morning.
-As us and another couple huddled near the "wait to be seated" sign, an employee urged a table packing up their food to "take their time and not rush"
-Our drink order was taken within a few minutes of being seated. Our waitress waited quite awhile to come back and take our food order.
-Our drinks were refilled one time (two Diet Pepsis) and the waitress also picked up a tea at the table next to us for a refill. We watched her smell the cups to see what was inside at the fill station. I am not sure that my husband and I got the correct drinks back.
-I ordered the breakfast skillet and my husband ordered the all American breakfast and a half order of biscuits and gravy. It took over 45 minutes to get our food (and five additional minutes to get our toast).
-After bringing our food our waitress never came back. And it took ten minutes for another waitress to bring us our ticket after we were done eating.
-As we were leaving we walked passed an employee smoking a cigarette right outside the entrance.

The food:
-My skillet was great. Everything was pretty simple breakfast food which is what I was expecting.
-My husbands food was completely cold.
-Biscuits and gravy were good.

Overall impression:
Our total bill was around $32 which is average for the area.
Joe Snuffy's is a dingy and outdated place with subpar service to get decent food if you have time to wait and don't come in starving. If you are driving through the area I would head up to IHOP in JC for much faster service at the same price and quality. If you want more breakfast options and a more "brunch" experience, head to any breakfast restaurant in Manhattan. Even with the drive you will get your food faster than we did. We were hoping to find a regular breakfast place close to home but unfortunately this won't be it.

I took my parents to Abilene (for the Eisenhower Museum) and Joe Snuffy's on the recommendation of a local. Yes it's a bowling alley but they have premium Kansas steaks (the owner is a meat connoisseur) and friendly doesn't go far enough. We felt like locals when we left, full and happy. There is no 'airs' about the workmanlike feel of Joe Snuffy's. Just hospitality that you couldn't buy in fancier places.

During an enforced stay in Abilene because my wife was hospitalized there, I had several good breakfasts at Snuffy's. Not only was the food good, and the service great, but everyone was very friendly, and my waitress , Diane Holt, even remembered me the second time I was there. A slat of the earth place, with good old fashioned food and values.
