I use it a lot in Pyramid of Doom because it defends the other plants from ambushes better than Snapdragon. I do think that Snapdragon is better in terms of Plant Food though. Garlic is not useful since it got nerfed to... that thing... This is why Garlic has a fast recharge so it can be spammable. Garlic doesn't have a fast recharge. A fast recharge is like Peashooter. Garlic has a mediocre recharge.

Anyway Phat Beet has some uses, but Snapdragon is ultimately the better plant in terms of defeating zombies. Now in most case scenarios, you use more than just Snapdragon/Phat Beet to attack the zombies too. So some of these special cases don't appear often.
