“ It's been years since I came before last night, and I am glad I returned. The food is finally delicious, and our server was soooo kind and attentive. ohh.. yeah.. the finger cups... they give you little cups of hot water to wash your fingers in afterwards.. I LOVE THAT!!! ”
“ We always stop at Shorty's when in the neighborhood. They never disappoint. The burnt ends are awesome too. ”
“ This was our 1st time here, and let me tell you, they take forever for your food to come to you. And I had to use the restroom but ran out cause it stink and it was disgusting. And as you can see in the pics of the restroom and the men's was worse according to my husband and he's 6'5 so it was very uncomfortable. And they swept but left the trash there as you can see in the Pic. And the sitting area is all connected, so if you get other people sitting next to you and they act like jerks. There'll be problems . I don't like the sitting areas. ”
