A true positive staple of New London. I remember coming here back when they were at the old location (just a little ways away). It was the go to place after softball practices or games and anytime really. I love that Deb and Dave have been able to keep this place going over the years. Wonderful people. Leslie makes the best cheeseburgers! I do miss the steak sandwhiches though :( They have the best soft serve ice cream in Southeast Iowa (maybe even all of Iowa). Really happy they...read full review
Tenderloin was overcooked. Good fries. Indoor seating is very stark. Outdoor seating too.
We love this little place! Great variety of food, made fresh right after you order. You can enjoy your meal outside, which is nice. Or you can dine indoors, very nostalgic and fun spot to dine. Every time my grandson visits he asks me to take him there! We are definitely return customers!

Short Stop is a family-friendly restaurant that offers a cozy dining experience and delicious food. The menu features a variety of options, including a great tenderloin sandwich, cheese curds, and a popular cheeseball dish that one of the grandchildren loves. The ice cream treats are also described as scrumptious, making it a hit with the whole family.
The restaurant is known for its kid-friendliness, with the grandchildren enjoying the swing, patio tables, and the now-broken hand pump that used to automatically fill a little bucket with water. The staff is praised for their friendliness and willingness to serve customers with a smile, though one reviewer had a negative experience with a rude cashier.
Overall, Short Stop is a local favorite, with clean facilities and a history of welcoming out-of-town visitors, as evidenced by the map on the wall. The owners are described as friendly and always busy, sometimes taking the time to sit and chat with customers.
