    No frills soup and sandwich shop on Camden's Main Street. Huge sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and great prices. Super friendly staff. In short--eat here!

    Chicken salad on grilled wheat. My own hot honey is peaking out at you

    Shorty's doesn't come up short. Everything has been amazing. Hot pastrami on grilled dark rye with Swiss and thousand island was mouth watering. Chicken salad on grilled wheat almost perfect (see pic - I have my own hot honey that I add when I get back to work). The prime rib sandwich was fantastic. Owners are personable and appear to be passionate about their business. Don't forget the homemade giant cookies. They're all great. Go with friends and split a bunch of sandwiches. This review is from a guy that did the trifecta (my own name for the challenge) at Danzer's prior to that restaurants demise a few years ago. The trifecta is the Reuben, red Reuben and hamlet in one sitting (I ate in this order too which I consider good to best). These sandwiches were on the same bread as shorty's and were all whole sizes. I reached the summit and the taste was phenomenal.

    I have also had some of their pre packed meals and they are worth every penny as well.

    A really good friend suggested we go on a road trip to Boonsville. (I had a college buddy come…read morefrom that town so I was aware of the town.) So off we go. It is as the name says "Awesome." It is a small store with lots of country decor plus more. Tea towels, jars of sauces, jams, a dog section, indoor or outdoor decor and the list of what you can buy goes on. We chose the in-house deli for lunch. I was more than pleased with the choice. (I saw a gentleman's sandwich and decided from there.) The deli uses Boar's Head deli meats. I got the reuben which is put together a bit differently, but that difference is what made the sandwich. They toast the bread, warm the ingredients and then put the sammy together. No greasy mess of a sandwich falling apart. It was juicy, delicious and satisfying. My only complaint is that they do not offer chips or pickles as a side with the sandwich. You can buy a bag of chips, but no pickle. Small town. There's a refrigerator with beverages and take out meals. We had a grand 'ol time driving up and back. Saw the sites that we could see. Parking is OK for the size of the place. All the staff were helpful and friendly. They have smallish shopping carts, but it seemed like most people start their collection of goodies and leave them by the register. They also have a brunch on weekends. Give it a try, enjoy the shopping, enjoy a little something from the deli.

    I always support small businesses, especially in a small town like Boonville, but this was one of…read morethe worst experiences I've ever seen with a business owner. The atmosphere feels extremely hostile if you're not part of her inner circle or if you don't have money to spend. Locals know how people are treated behind the scenes, which is why many of the customers seem to come from out of town. The owner has a reputation for tearing down other small businesses instead of supporting them, and constantly copies ideas from others rather than creating anything original. Competition clearly isn't handled professionally here. Beyond that, cleanliness was a major concern. I personally noticed signs of mice and roaches in the store, which made me very uncomfortable shopping there. Some products are nice, but many can be purchased directly from the original vendors instead. Small towns thrive when businesses support each other and treat people with respect. Unfortunately, that is not the experience here.
