The food was okay, but overpriced. $15 for chicken tenders, fries and beans. The service was atrocious. Our waitress was a total space cadet. Ended up the manager waiting on us cause she wasn’t capable.

Poor choices for appetizers and what they have is GREASY. Waitress was friendly but service was mediocre. Margarita was icky... too sweet and no alcohol. Be ready with some Tums if you go. 

Business response:

Janie, we apologize if your experience at Shorty's didn't meet expectations. We've sent your review to management. Someone will reach out to you soon. Thank you.

We went for the first time after the remodeling was complete. Seated us at the booth we requested even though the seating hostess had to clean it first. Waitress was great and they have no problem substituting sides if you request it. Food portions were enormous! Very good ribs. We were celebrating two birthdays and they asked if we wanted them to sing for us or just be low key. We definitely went with the low key option and the waitress brought two free desserts of ice cream with caramel and chocolate sauce. Burgers looked ... read more

My husband and I decided to try Shorty Smalls because we had a groupon and I had never been. We walk-in with a pleasant welcome from three people. I thought to myself this will be a great place. I was so very wrong!!!! The bartender K-Dawg was too busy talking to what I assume were friends of hers(at least I hope they were friends since she said bitch to them three times) The food had no seasoning, the manger(I assume he was the manager) seemed nice but he needs to be more of a leader. The only redeeming part of our visit wa... read more
