This is some of THE BEST BBQ we have had in a long time!! The brisket and ribs were so tender and flavorful!! The ribs fell off the bone, saucy, simply delicious Fiancé liked the smoked sausage with their BBQ sauce. Coleslaw was definitely tangy, very mildly sweet, and crunchy. The roasted corn was served differently than I expected, but still good! They cut a cob into small chunks which makes them less messy to eat! We are absolutely trying their Mexican street corn next time! The only mild critique I have is about the Mac-n-cheese. IMO way too salty. I asked for black pepper to try to balance it out. They did get some from the kitchen for me, but S&P is kinda a staple so would suggest making it more accessible. The service was phenomenal!! Tony is an incredible chef! The food is genuinely delicious and I would have expected to pay more for the quality of the meal overall!

Baby Back Ribs - 1/2lb = three bones, no real smoke 4/10 Turkey - 1/2lb = four slices, tender 6/10 Jerk Chicken - 1/2lb = three cut pieces, no spice, no heat, no smoke 3/10 Sausage - 1/2lb, looked like one long link, sliced. Okay flavor, tough casing 5/10 Collard Greens - individual orders, okay texture, no heat, needed a bit of vinegar and pepper 4/10 Cole Slaw - individual orders, I like the preparation and recipe, more vinegar vs. mayo-forward 8/10 Roasted Corn - the order looked like one ear, sliced into 1/2" bits, can't really go wrong with grilled corn Cornbread - mini-loaf, super moist. I don't know what fruit or vegetable they use in the batter, but it works! I wish it came with a honey-butter. 9/10 Fat Toast - one order = two Texas Toast slices cut in halfs The sauce was weird, very watery. I had a barbecue itch and it was scratched, wanted to try something new. I'll go back to my favorite spots next time.

Apocalypse has become one of those places for us.

I got the brisket sandwich which is my go-to in a BBQ place. It was okay... the sauces they had (and made??) were the only things that saved it.

One rib is basically a full meal, but you're still gonna want more. Everything else? Just as killer. Brisket melts, pulled pork is loaded with flavor, and the sides aren't phoned in -- mac and cheese, collards, even the pickles slap. No frills, just fire. Bring your appetite and maybe a nap schedule after.

Even the small portion I ordered was enough food for both lunch and dinner. The chicken was juicy, cooked to perfection, and seasoned very well. The ribs were amazing--fall-off-the-bone tender! I recommend getting the sauce on the side, but definitely get plenty of it because it's delicious and really makes the chicken pop. I also tried the brown sugar lemonade, which was very sweet but still great to try. And the festival did not disappoint! There's nothing like a sweet, crispy stick of bread. Each basket of chicken comes paired with plain white bread, which gives it a nice little sandwich-like feel. I'll definitely be trying this place again! The lines can get pretty long, so be prepared to wait a little bit, but it's definitely worth it. There's no seating so be prepared to take your items to go.

A perfect setting. The cashier/order taker was a gracious lady, polite, and attentive. The place had a pleasant, smoky aroma, just like it should. My wife and I went for the food, which is the central point of going to a restaurant. And the results met my expectations of the "Texas Standard". Brisket: full of flavor, with a nice smoky and all round taste. A minor issue was that it could have been a bit more moist. I say minor because this is the easiest thing to correct, by small adjustment. First rate. Spare ribs: excellent. My wife was over the moon. She is Brazilian and a veteran of Brazil BBQ. They were delicious. Chicken: perfectly smoked and moist. Even the white meat. There was a present bark on the surface, which added to the taste. Sausage: delightful. Obviously an individual, small batch recipe. Very flavorful and moist. Superb. Cornbread: My favorite style of light, natural flavor, not oily. Iced Tea: fresh taste and flavor. Not bitter. High quality. Sauces: regular and tangy. As good as I have ever tasted. Potato Salad: The best I have ever tasted in my 78 years. Different and unique. Coleslaw: Perfect. Cannot, in my opinion, be improved upon. Price: surprisingly fair. Very fair. I was pleasantly surprised at such Texas quality in Fort Lauderdale. We will be going to no other for BBQ.

As someone who's grown up eating Shorty's, I have to say they're one of those BBQ restaurants that…read moreyou can always expect a delicious meal at. Whether eating there or taking out, I've never had an issue in 15+ years. With a good variety on their menu & always keeping their prices fair, I like having them in rotation. Whether you're feeling a pulled pork sandwich (my personal favorite), ribs that fall off the bone, incredibly tender brisket, or even a burger with that mouth-watering char taste, you're sure to be satisfied. You can tell when BBQ is freshly prepared or has been sitting around for a while & they sure do it right here; the meat is never dried out or under seasoned. Portions are hearty & they have some amazing sides to go along with your main dish. You can't go here without ordering the fried okra or Mac & cheese. Their baked beans are also good, with a nice hint of sweetness that isn't too much. On that note, I can drink their sweet tea by the gallon. If you love tea like I do, then you'll be more than satisfied with an ice cold glass (or 3). I also might as well give their banana pudding an honorable mention because It's a great way to end a great meal. Service is always solid here & even when it's busy, I've never had to wait very long. There's a good bit of seating inside which helps manage the crowds but usually it's never an issue. I know when I want fresh & consistent BBQ, Shorty's is always there for that. If you've never been, it's well worth a trip to check them out.

At Shorty's, I asked if the 1/4 chicken dish was gluten free. The server said yes it's just baked chicken and I asked about the marinade per the menu. She said it's "Shorty's sauce" so I asked if it's GF and she said she didn't know, so I asked if she can please find out. She came back and said there's no marinade so I went ahead and ordered the chicken. I asked her if she could tell me if any of the table sauces were GF and again "I don't know". I asked if she can please ask someone who would know and no rush. She said she would get someone to come talk to me. Several minutes passed, she brings my food and I ask again about the sauce and she seems bothered and said they are way too busy and probably no one will be able to come talk to me. I wait some more time, and when the next round of meals comes out, we ask again and she reiterated that it's too busy and no manager or chef was able to give her a simple answer about if the BBQ sauce is gluten free. All she said was she knows the bbq is "sugar free or something". So after waiting, I just decided to eat and the chicken was BONE DRY. It felt like sacrilege the way they cooked that chicken until it was nearly powdered. Fast forward and meal ends and the server noticed I didn't eat much and asked why, I said the chicken is dry and she said "oh yeah it's always dry and you couldn't have sauce". ... Anyway, we will not be back. I'm also not convinced that she even brought up the question to manager. As someone who has worked in the food industry for several years, I feel it is the bare minimum to understand common allergens and restrictions that people may have and that they deserve to be taken seriously.
