The bar is at a corner and yet at the center of the room .. the bathrooms are tiny and don't have doors and are right when you walk in so it feels like no privacy. The dance floor was a decent size, and the area could be setup better for seating but it was a fun night. I just loved that the bar had 1911 loganberry!

The important part was the food, so good. They have quite a variety of cuisines to choose from. I got the bacon and brisket melt which blew me away.

I was afraid it would be packed before others also went to the garage sale. The sampler breakfast plate had a little of everything, and the pancake was huge and fluffy! Honestly my favorite part.

We were visiting the area, and were appealed to this restaurant due to its old time diner look and…read morethe vintage car out front. Once we were inside, that vibe continued. The vintage diner feel was cozy, and the Coca-Cola light fixtures were unique. Each table also had its own vintage jukebox. We came on a busy Sunday morning, but got lucky and were sat right away. From the beginning, and throughout our experience, the staff were very friendly. Our sever brought us drinks within minutes, and we were able to put in our orders pretty quick. Like I said, it was a busy Sunday, so it took awhile for us to receive our food. But this gave my wife and I time to talk, and enjoy the ambiance. I ordered the breakfast lasagna (had never seen this before) with white toast and a side of corned beef hash. When the food came out, it was warm and fresh. The breakfast lasagna had a nice flavor from the peppers and onions and meats that were baked inside. The base was made from what seemed like mashed potatoes which threw me off a little, but wasn't bad. The toast had a good toast to it, and was nicely buttered. I am a corned beef hash lover, and Shorty's was pretty good! The flavors meshed well together and the texture was great. My wife ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits which was not great. The sausage gravy was lacking flavor, with the main taste being cream. The sausage within the gravy was cut up sausage links, and for myself and my wife at least, we prefer ground sausage. Lastly, the biscuits were nothing to write home about. They were not bad but they didn't wow. Overall, I gave Shorty's a three because the food didn't wow me. There was not anything wrong with the food we had at all, and we will probably be back in the future to try some of their other food. Otherwise, my wife and I also loved the feel of the diner itself.

She went through each section of wings, burgers, salads. Dinners etc and told us the best one out of each section. We made our choices and the food came out hot and fast!
