Love the food!! Always fresh, delicious & fast. I ask for special modification with my food whether it be using 1/2 tortilla or adding bell peppers to my quesadilla, they are so accommodating!! read more

I've been here once and food was terrible. I don't make bad reviews until I've gone twice, but I saw this one and had to share. read more

Decent BBQ food for a quick bite. Love their fried okra and potato salad. We ordered brisket and pulled pork. They are both delicious. It's a small establishment but the food is good. read more

The food they serve is dog food, not suitable for humans. Whoever came up with these terrible menu ideas should reconsider. I dislike their service, and the employees are rude and unfriendly. read more

The food is very good. Platters are generous. Corn bread and hush puppies are tasty. Staff is very professional as well as very friendly. read more

Mixed plate with chicken, pork, and brisket was perfectly smoked and tender. Fresh cut fries also delicious. Definitely worth a stop and we will return! read more

Food is very good but the prices make it prohibitive for a regular go-to. Ordered for three people and the cost was over $40.

Terrific service and great menu selections! The ambiance is very nice! I'm always a repeat customer! read more

I was really hoping to love this place as I had been meaning to stop in before now. I was less than impressed. Food was cold. I'm sure it had been sitting for awhile and not made fresh. Very small brisket sandwich. Only slightly larger than a slider. Wayyyyyy overpriced. I got a sandwich...fries ...and a Pepsi( which is just the can of Pepsi with no ice or cup and it was 17.00. So very disappointed. Such a cute place. read more

The food is average, but prices are high. The last two times I went to the drive thru, they got the order wrong. They gave a military discount on the receipt attached to the bag but charged my card the full amount. We live close enough to walk and it can be convenient but they have now permanently lost our business. read more

Where is the moisture & salt, Love ...Anything !!!!! The brisket was extremely dry and no salt. I order a pound all the fat was cut off it. Throw the bbq sauce a away not the best from a bottle. They sides that are bit size. $33.00 and tip. This was a when i got home. They must have gotten a new cook from a 6 months to year ago. I will not return ever. ALL Thumbs down read more

The owner is rude. When an order comes no matter the size, quality should always be first. The owner let someone spend over $70 for a meal only to insult the customer. 10% off for their next order fixes nothing especially when her family was disappointed and didn't touch it read more

This is my 3rd time getting Shorties Bbq, they do not disappoint! It's quick and friendly driv thru service and the man behind the counter has always been so charming and polite. We have tried the dry rub wings, bbq wings, bbq wings, potato salad, cole slaw, burger and Mac and cheese. The prices are reasonable and the portions are perfect. Everything has been delicious and tastes home made. I wish I would have taken pictures of all the food I mentioned but it got ate fast! Lol! If you're on New Leicester hwy, this is the place to eat! I drive from Hendersonville to eat there read more

So yummy! We stopped here for a quick dinner on our first night traveling for a vacation in Asheville.

Best for its weight class: this is a rural neighborhood drive through bbq joint and it is excellent. I have never had a bad meal here. Hot dogs are world class. Barbecue not the best in North Carolina or the South but in the running for best in Asheville. Excellent t sides, beans a bit sweet but many like em that way, fried crunchy with skins on, excellent hush puppies. It is a drive through joint so why not just check your bag to make sure they got it right, rather than leaving a nasty review read more

LOVE the workers here! The food is also really good for the price. I totally recommend this place!

We went to shorties while vacationing in the Leicester area. We got a mess of ribs and were not disappointed! Quick service through the drive through. Can't go wrong here! read more

Ordered their new Philly cheesecake, it was expensive and pretty small, there were a lot of onions that were not cooked well so I had to actually pick them out. Meat didn't taste that good and wasn't tender, quite disappointed read more

Super friendly people and delicious food! Coulda been more sauce on the sandwich, but everything else was perfect. Definitely recommend.

The bbq is always amazing and the sauce is top notch the French fries are well they are in a class by themselves they are soooooo good if you haven't tried shorties your in for a treat we get food here once a week . Local favorite . The Hendrix family gives our piggy approval for good BBQ . read more

Can't believe we're lucky enough to have a drive thru BBQ out here in the sticks! This place is so good and speedy and the staff is great. Milkshakes to die for :) read more

our order was confirmed after we placed it, but once we got home... WRONG!!! Missing onion rings, slaw where there should be none. And, at premium pricing... we will go elsewhere! Sad! The surcharge for credit card use was also on the high side at 4%! DISAPPOINTING! read more

We were happy to see a BBQ place so close to our vacation rental. Grabbed a pork and chicken meal with brownies for the NFL draft. Really good meat, the baked beans were amazing, mac & cheese standard, potato salad really good, and hush puppies good. Brownies were very rich and good. Definitely recommend! read more

Food and service was excellent. Definitely would come back for more. We celebrated our last day in Asheville with a large spread of food. Going home happy for sure. read more

Fantastic BBQ! Service was amazing, gave us extra food to feed large family of 9 on vacation. Quick and easy drive thru! Very accommodating! read more

We ordered the family meal for two and had pulled pork, brisket, green beans, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, hush puppies, and paid extra for a brownie. The entire meal was excellent!! The brisket was tender and juicy. The green beans were awesome. Also in our to go bag was a full bottle of their barbecue sauce which was a nice surprise! We loved their barbecue sauce. Awesome service....I think from the owner himself. read more

Very good and affordable. I thought it was good when the line was out the parking lot confirmed once I took a bite out the sandwich.

My office in town loves to support local businesses & try different things. Not only are the people at Shorties amazing to work with & very friendly, but their food is AWESOME! We recommend this to everyone & we will be back! Thank you Shorties! read more

I have driven past here for a year and popped in for a quick pickup for my Georgia BBQ eating family. They loved it. We ordered pulled pork and slaw. The pork was cooked perfectly. The BBQ sauce was sweet, tangy, and had a little smidgen of heat. The slaw had great flavor- a nice balance of salty and sweet but a little juicy for me. Overall, I will pop back in for some brisket and Mac and cheese next time. If you are in downtown, I think it's worth the drive. read more

This is the best BBQ in Leicester. Convenient and inexpensive. The meal for two is great!

Cool drive thru BBQ place. Pork is good and not dry. The sauce is good and they give you a lot of it. Love the Collards. The fries are on the edge of being too salty but are excellent. We visit family in the area a few times a year and always go here. read more

Been pretty disappointed every time I come here. Most things I've tried have been below average and way over priced for what it is. Which sucks because it's the closest thing to my house. You'd think a good BBQ place would be in the country. read more

We love Shorties!! The French fries and collards are our favorite sides. We get take out from here at least 1 time a week. The portions are huge! Excellent and quick BBQ! read more

I love this place The people the food are excellent best barbecue in Asheville totally recommend brisket is awesome and the ribs are fall off the bone read more

I love me some BBQ and I have to say I love Okie dokies barbecue as well an hour for the ribs and I love bonfire barbecue on Patton Avenue they have the best brussels sprouts and mac & cheese. But by far as barbecue goes this is the best in Western North Carolina read more

Decent . Ribs were over dry . Slaw is bland. Beans tasted like can beans . Fries were excellent . Sauce was good. Quality was low for the price . read more

There is nothing better then a true "local" BBQ. Great pulled pork! Super friendly service and wonderful location! Thank you :)

Pretty good BBQ. A little pricey,but good. And they give you large amounts of food. So, for the amount of food you get( more than you could probably eat in 1 setting) it's not really expensive. read more

You can do much better for a BBQ sandwich by going to Cook Out. Food was average, prices were high, and service was horrible. Visited twice, my first and my last. read more
