It seems there’s no shortage of plot twists for Snuffer’s Restaurant Inc.
It started in March, after Snuffer’s Restaurant Inc. filed for Bankruptcy. Then in July, it was bailed out by Firebird Restaurant Group, which also owns El Fenix, Meso Maya and Taqueria La Ventana. Then in November, Firebird took over operations of six of the Snuffer’s Restaurant & Bar locations. However, the location on Lower Greenville stayed in the possession of Pat Snuffer — until now.
After Snuffer announced his plans to open a Pat’s Burger & Cheddar Fries in the completed Lower Greenville location, Firebird Restaurant Group filed a lawsuit against him, saying he was attempting “a last-minute, desperate, and unlawful conspiracy.” Just days before Snuffer planned to open the restaurant, Judge Martin Lowy signed a temporary restraining order against Snuffer, so he wouldn’t be able to open until everything was settled.
Pat Snuffer was due in court Monday morning to settle everything once and for all, but it seems Snuffer and Firebird settled ahead of deadline, as reported by the Dallas Morning News. The News says Snuffer is abandoning his plans to open Pat’s Burger & Cheddar Fries. The Lower Greenville location will reopen as a Snuffer’s in February, after construction is finally finished.
But that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the end of Pat Snuffer. Attorney Larry Friedman told the news Snuffer plans to launch a brand new restaurant concept sometime next fall.
