    Hot dog with "everything" and fries with gravy
    Carly M.

    Shorty's has been a Washington County favorite for many years. I have been eating here since I was a small child. The food is simple, but great. I always order a hot dog with everything, which consists of chili, mustard and onion, along with a fry with gravy. I prefer this location over the Chestnut street location due to the availability of seating. Don't get me wrong, I will eat at both regardless though! There is also a drive thru at this location.

    When we go to visit our grandparents, it isn't a trip until we've stopped into Shorty's. Love it. But what is with the gravy on the fries?!

    There is a lady named Crystal who writes posts about Al 'an Rubens being racist and gives 1 star…read morereviews. This is the furthest thing from the truth! This woman attacks most business that aren't owned by "pasty" (her word in every negative review she writes) people, like herself. When you walk into Al 'an Rubens you are immediately "family", no matter your skin tone, your language, or your gender! You are RESPECTED for you from the start. As for the food, you don't want to miss it! There is nothing on the menu short of spectacular. Please don't listen to Crystal! Hateful is hateful, and this fabulous establishment is being dragged down by a lying, "pasty", hater! As a pasty person myself, who provides reviews regularly on Google, both good and bad, I will call out the Crystal's of this world every time I know without a doubt they are lying. And for the record, Al 'an Rubens always has a full dining room. Crystal's entire post is a scam. All of this being said, I can't wait for my next visit, my next "family" chat, and my next serving of excellence!

So the larger your group is, the harder it will be for you to get a table. Parking can get tricky too. My own gaggle of friends has learned to carpool, and we accept that we won't always be seated directly together. Like any good diner, Dog House's menu has plenty of breakfast options, along with burgers and sandwiches. The menu is simple but solid, and the prices are reasonable. The French toast is my bestie's favorite, and I can confirm that their burgers and Belgian waffle are also quite good. Most recently I ordered the Chicken & Waffles; it was tasty, but I admittedly wish it came with more syrup. Also wouldn't have been upset if it came with one more tender since they were on the smaller side. The staff are very nice and they clearly work as quickly as possible. Of course, their speed is always dependent on how busy the diner is overall. I'll echo other reviewers saying that if you go in expecting to eat at a small town diner, you won't be disappointed. And my recommendation is to order a breakfast item or a burger to get the whole small town diner experience!

    The gravy and biscuits was really good, I was surprised at how good the eggs the g & b laid on…read morewere!! Good for a group or just a date, nice variety of food. A vibe that won't disappoint.

Bacon, crispy onions, maple bacon sauce and mozzarella cheese. Deep fried onions, on top of the cheese, maple bacon, a medium cooked burger, on a fresh bun, of course my burger topped with Ranch dressing. Great burger experience, with a side of beer battered fries, which were delicious, and crunchy! Family got the Sweet Thai Chili boneless wings. These were huge! Awesome crunchy batter, juicy breast meat, topped with a homemade Thai sauce, these were awesome! Great food here, plus they have live music throughout the week. If you want some good food, have a few beers, or other libations, and some live music, make the trip here.
