Try the potato fritter like things (can't recall the name of them) and you'll want more. Everything I had was fresh, perfectly cooked, and perfectly seasoned. No question that I'll be looking for an excuse to drive way out of my way to return here again. Almost forgot, my waitress was very good.

And have…read morenever been to really any of the new restaurants in downtown Simpsonville, and it has always been a great experience with the beer cheese pretzel being an amazing appetizer choice! Today I got the chicken sandwich with a choice of sauce on the burger being honey mustard. And tater tots instead of fries! :)

Was meeting a friend for her birthday lunch and she chose the same place from last year's bday…read moredinner but discovered it was closed on Monday. She texted me stating she walked down to Shortfields as she's been here before with a group in the past and we can eat here. Ironically I have also eaten here only once before but at least two years ago and with a different group. She knew exactly what she was going to order the fish taco. I think she had fries. I finally decided on a burger, the one with mushrooms, onions, and provolone cheese. And chose tator tots as my side. The burger with its toppings were good. The tator tots were crispy like the way I like it but it was a tad bit salty. She said her fish tacos weren't that good. There were three of them, and they looked to be filled quite well. But she said there was an abundance of sauce, the flavor over powering the fish itself, and leaking out her tacos and on to her plate with each bite. She shared this to me throughout but never to our waitress, though she knows I do yelp. This place is casual and it does have a separate area that could host a group. Because it's December, it was decorated for Christmas so nice and comfy. I thought the service was good. I came from the fitness center and had my own large water bottle, but she (I forgot her name) was great about providing me more water. I liked how at the beginning she asked if ready to give our orders and sharing what the sides are, checking up midway, and not intrusive. Because the lunch shift was ending and thus hers, I already had my card with the bill but she still asked if it's okay to take it to charge it. The food for me was fine. The burger was good but wouldn't be something I would have to return for. I actually didn't finish my toys but brought it home and my son finished it off. Though my friend complained about hers, she ate all three of her tacos and the sides so must have been good enough to eat My experience was a bit mixed mainly due to my friend's attitude but then again I would not have come here on my own. I could see how some people may become regulars though I wouldn't because it's a bit farther from where I live, I personally would have wanted more vegetables yet the service, casual yet comfy ambience would be the pro side. (Not sure what happened to the photos I took of my plate and my friends taco. If I find it, I'll post it later).

But I didn't expect the BBQ I got was barely covering the bottom of a small paper tray like my palm size... the milk shake was ok, didn't have the flavor I originally asked for. The server showed me a wrapped plastic fork said I gave you this. I felt she did me a favor by doing that. That was 21 bucks with tips. Never go back there again.

The Mac & cheese and greens were warm but everything else was not hot at all. I took one bite of the fish and that was enough. The breading tasted like lard. I think the fish itself was ok but it wasn't hot at all. So one bite was as far as I got. The service was good. I mentioned that the okra wasn't hot and she returned with hot okra but the taste wasn't that great. The service and ambiance was fine here, but the food quality not so much. We will definitely not be returning.
