Shorty's is a well-established restaurant with a cozy and charming atmosphere that has been around for over 30 years. The menu offers a variety of classic American dishes, including gyros, Philly cheese steak, Italian sausage, and corned beef, all reported to be delicious. The $5.99 gyros on Tuesdays are particularly noted as the best deal in the area, with a generous amount of gyro meat, veggies, and sauce. The fries are thick and crispy, cooked to perfection, and the double cheeseburger is well-seasoned and grilled just right. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly, contributing to a reliable and enjoyable dining experience. While the drive-thru speaker can be a bit janky, the overall cleanliness and charm of the place, with its old diner combined with a drive-in feel, make it worth visiting. Despite some needed upgrades, including the drive-thru machine and menu visibility, Shorty's continues to be a favorite local spot for great food and friendly service.
