Amazing! Fantastic! Unbelievable!Highly recommended!!!! This is the second time we have held a function at Shortstop Bar & Grill. My husband's retirement party was held there years ago. Last Saturday, we had a baby shower at SS and all we can say is "Outstanding"! Monica and her team of professionals were attentive and accommodating from day 1. The banquet room was large and easy to decorate. The area easily held our party of 60 people. The food was so, so very good, hot and plentiful! We chose the lunch buffet with terrific dishes to choose from. The per person luncheon fee was reasonable, especially because there were no other fees to use the room. If we needed anything at all we need only to ask. Monica treated us like we were family. They even went over and above the call of duty for us! In our haste to clean up, some important papers were thrown away. I texted Monica as soon as we found they were missing and she got to work on it. Monica had her Dad go through the trash bags from our room and FOUND the envelope!!! Talk about exceptional service!!!! We will definitely be back. read more

It's been a while since we have been back to Short Shop. Service is slow and the burger slider was no more than a whole burger cut in fourths. Medium rare should not be raw. The cheese was so melted it was crispy. You could smell the burnt. The desire is tired and looks like whatever has been around. Needs a major overhaul. Bathrooms are another story. A cracked switch plate and a door in much need of painting. Ambiance is tired. I know why we haven't been there. read more

Went to Shortstop to grab a bite and watch the current March Madness BBall game. They were extremely busy due to a sellout concert but managed to get us a table for 4 after waiting at the bar for about 20 minutes. The young lady who attended to us was very helpful! Not only did she squeeze us in but she also worked to get our special channel on a few TV's. She was also helping to wait on several other tables. I noticed her efforts and asked her name so I could tell the manager what a hard worker she was - and it turned out that she was the owner! It was so refreshing to see that work ethic that is missing in so many establishments. I commend Monica for her positive attitude, great service, and the energy she put in to making sure things ran smoothly during an extremely busy evening. Our food and drinks were delicious! Great reuben, burger, and flatbread. We loved the variety of menu items to choose from. We will be back again and again! read more

I just wanted to give a big shout out to everyone that works at this establishment we hosted our 15th annual fantasy football draft from the live golf simulator to the area outside the patio hospitality was five stars. Definitely a great atmosphere highly recommended. read more

Great Crispy chicken sandwiches and fantastic fries yesterday for early dinner at the Short Stop, Westfield. Server - he was amazing! Thank you! Never a bad meal. Love the outdoor dining area also. Staff is as great as the food! read more

Date night doesn't have to mean weekends. When there are delicious drink specials, a large rotation of beers on tap (and non-alcoholic options too) why not commit to spending a different night out with the one you love? it's a bit quieter, there's Monday night football, you can play a game of Scrabble or cards at your own table, you name it. Mondays are the new Friday for date nights, and Katelyn at the bar will make sure you have everything you need, and serve you quickly. There are some delicious drink specials including the spiked apple cider right now, I like to get the Caprese salad with the blackened chicken, which always has tasty tomatoes and fresh greens. The burgers are always served to order, and they have some of my favorite sweet potato fries. Make sure you ask for honey mustard! I saw that my last review here was eight years ago, and I would still recommend coming here! read more

We have had our Association Christmas Party at the Shortstop Bar and Grill for the last 3 years. The food, staff and hall are all amazing! Their ability to host a large group with such great service and provide top notch food is impeccable. I would 100% recommend anyone to consider the Shortstop Bar and Grill to host their event! read more

I was craving steak so I bought the steak tips and they were dry as hell, I was not satisfied for 25$

Short stop is one of our favorites! Not only is it a great restaurant for an awesome dinner but it's great for holding private events as well! We had my son's christening brunch there and everything was wonderful and the staff go above and beyond. Highly recommend! read more

We had our wedding here in June 2025. They have a wonderful banquet room. The food was outstanding and Owner/Chef Monica was the most gracious host. The staff working our wedding were super friendly and attentive. My husband and I continue to hear wonderful comments on how fantastic the food was and Monica and her staff were exceptional. Have been to restaurant many times as well. Highly recommend! read more

The food was great my meal came out perfectly cooked, Service was spot on from when i walked in till i left staff was very friendly the whole time even the owner stopped and introduced himself that was great. They have a lot of things going on from games on the Tv's in the bar area to pinball , batting cages , golf games , and live bands such a great place. Will stop in again supporting local family places read more

Another visit to Short Stop and as always phenominal. Was a packed house with a guitarist who played a wide assortment of songs. We had the Baked Cod with a rich crumb topping which was outstanding - perfectly cooked. Our server was Katie Rose who was phenomenal.with a great personality and smile. Thank you Katie for your outstanding service. I highly recommend this bar and grill restaurant. Annmarie Stebbins 7/10/2024 read more

Great food and love to be outdoors, listening to the entertainment. We had a gentleman playing guitar. He was very good and not a noisy environment, which was very relaxing, but definitely come back. read more

Food is good with delicious specials. Wonderful drink menu and the beers on tap a great. Service is exceptional.

ehhhhh!!! not so good. 17$ burger was dry and small. small portion of not so appetizing fries. service lacked. not worth it. won't give a second chance. wish I could show u a pic read more

I went here last night with college friends and we had a great time! We were seated for a while (maybe 15 minutes) and the owner personally came over and apologized. She noticed we had not been served and treated us to an appetizer and told us they were in the middle of cutting and the table got over looked. The food and drinks were great! Would recommend! read more

Wow. I haven't felt this way in a long time. Not a place I would eat or recommend. And for perspective we did not go during any rush hr. Place was half empty. We nicely ask a waitress walking by our table if they could change one of the TVs to a basketball game and after saying of course promptly ignored the request and would not walk near our table again but she would glance at us when she went to the table two away from over from us. Our waiter while not outwardly rude dropped our food off and then was ghost for like 10 mins. Only came back when we waved him over as they forgot the mayo for one of our burgers. Then again had to be waved over for our check to be brought to us. Not once did he come over and asked how the food was, if we needed anything, or needed any refills. read more

Worst bar food on the planet. Service is slow and terrible. Have tried this restaurant many times and it never gets any better!!

First timer from Fort Lauderdale. Huge kudos to Ethan at the bar for the great service. Staff are super friendly service is great. Soup of the day mushroom broccoli was so tasty. Burger is huge and hand made. Enjoy. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! It has a really nice vibe to it, and the food is super delicious and the waiter were very kind. I would personally recommend the Grand Slam burger. read more

A great restaurant and bar. One of our go to restaurants for dinner or drinks with friends. The owner and staff are always friendly and the food is always great. The trivia night was fun a definite must try. They have a great beer selection too. read more

Unfortunately this place seems to have gone downhill, which is a huge bummer, I really used to to enjoy it. We were told it would be a short wait for table, and that was no problem, got a drink at the bar. It was a longer wait then we were quoted but that's fine no big deal. When we were finally sat no one came to help us for 20 mins, many waitstaff walked by, no one asked us if we needed help, no one told us they would be with us soon, no one would Make eye contact with us. I had to go back up to the hostess stand and tell the guy who sat us we haven't been helped, he said he would sent someone right away. A woman who had walked by us and ignored us finally came up to help after another 20 mins. During our meal, no one checked in on us, refilled our waters or anything. Got abandoned with the check as well had to walk that up to the counter too. Wish we had just left, what should have been a nice dinner with an old friend was uncomfortable and frustrating. Have heard from others they have had similar experiences as well. It wasn't super busy and there seemed to be many waitstaff on the floor. Food was good but dinner felt ruined by the time we received it , had a few bites and boxed it up. 2 hour event for pizza and wings read more

I visited the shortstop for a couple reunions. The first one was with family and the second old friends. The shortstop was the perfect spot for us all to enjoy the evening! Both times we had a big crowd and the place and the staff were very accommodating. Both times I think we ordered every appetizers and everyone found something they liked. The best part was it was casual and we could move around and mingle with everyone in the group without attracting attention. We socialized for many hours and a good time was had by all. The food was good, the waitstaff made us comfortable and we motivated the band. They said we were the only ones that ever danced! On reflecting back on the experience I didn't meet the owner but I know he was there and it was a reflection on the establishment he runs that it a good time was had by all. read more

Great visit tonight. Food was very good and beer selection excellent. Enjoyable evening at the bar.

Great place. Good atmosphere and super friendly staff. They had a thanksgiving panini which I thoroughly enjoyed for dinner, probably worth about 4 stars. However my 5 star rating is because of the apple cider sangria made by Sam. It was by far and away the best version of this drink I've ever had and I've had quite a few variations as recently reviewed. Check out the picture. It was delish. I was also very much impressed with the beer selection. Nothing like a bar that has a wide variety of local craft beers. I'll be back soon. read more

Not bad but not my first choice. Very long wait times - unacceptably long. I went here on a Sunday at 4pm so the place was empty. I asked for a water and the water was bad. They gave me tap water instead of filtered water. Very odd taste to it. The waiter was pretty responsive so no biggie. I asked for a beer and it took nearly 10 minutes to get a beer. I ordered a panini and it took about a half hour. It was ok but they didn't serve too many fries with it. So it was ok, not great. The bathroom situation needs improvement!!! It is not even in the restaurant and only one private toilet. At least it was clean. read more

We stopped by for a beer and appetizers tonight. First the positives. Nice waitress and good beer list. Brussel sprouts, which the menu says are pan fried contained pieces of french fries. I think that sort of implies they are actually deep fried. They also tasted awful. They tasted like they were actually cooked in old motor oil, not frying oil. In addition they were badly burned. The sauce was equally horrible. When the owner asked me home everything was, and I said not so good, his answer was "you'll have to tell my wife". We go to lots of restaurants and are always in search of the next hidden gem. This is no hidden gem and I would never recommend anyone go there. read more

Shortstop Bar & Grill nailed it tonight. The patio is awesome. Huge fans ensure no bugs and a nice cool breeze. The waitress was amazing. Every one of the staff that we interacted with was great. Beers came out ice cold. Food was great. What a great place!!! BONUS POINTS: Paws on the patio - when does your dog get to join you for dinner? Awesome event. Well planned, well executed. read more

Worst management ever! St Pattys day Joke turned to management ego contest. She asked how food was and when I gave an honest review of how shitty it was, she cut us off. Your shitty food is not my problem. read more

Can't say enough about this restaurant. We needed a place to hold a small celebration. We used their banquet room and everything was perfect. Chef Monica and her staff made everyone feel welcome! The food was amazing. The room was clean and welcoming. The staff were friendly, accommodating, flexible and attentive. I would not think hesitate a moment about hosting another event at the Short Stop! read more

Great buffalo chicken dip and friendly staff today. Seasonal drink options for fall and good draft beer selection.

ordered take out and paid extra for sweet potato fries which were cold soft and old. same with the sandwich. the chef should be embarrassed to have served this. will never order from there again read more

Me and my fiance went here, and it was amazing. The potstickers had a yummy sauce. The coconut margarita was FANTASTIC. The Reuben was one of the best we've had. Usually places skip on the alcohol in the drinks. This place definitely did not do that. The only thing that wasn't 5 star was my pulled pork. It was a tad sweet for my taste. read more

Great food, staff, owner, and atmosphere. I enjoy going there regularly. It's a great place to grab lunch or catch a game while having a few beers. read more

Came to eat while i was visiting family and had called ahead to see if their veggie patty was vegan. It was not but decided to go anyways n see what else i could get. Our server, Chrissy said she had the perfect person to help me figure what would work for me and she got Monica which may be a Manager. She was super helpful and i ended up ordering the Brussels sprouts (no parm) as well as a pizza that i gave her full range to make me anything just make sure it was vegan. They made a great flatbread with caramelized onions, apples, arugula, and a basalmic glaze. It was great. I always appreciate a restaurant doing what they can to accommodate me and not make me feel like it's a bother. I don't want to go out to eat just for a salad or some simple pasta. This was a nice meal and i would come back again next time I'm in town. read more

I stumbled across this place by accident. I read reviews after the fact and owners or something must have changed. I have been here a few times now with the family and the staff is incredible. You always feel welcome, the service is definitely as good as anything you can find around here and the food is really good. We had one bad meal out of 10 and the owner was sincerely sympathetic and gave us our entire meal for free. Every place runs into issues here and there, the way they handled it is what makes the difference. The drinks are also very good, you truly feel welcome here and it's not a nasty sports bar, it's pretty upscale and clean considering where it's located. Very happy to keep stopping in! read more
