Great food and great service. Whether it’s to go or dine in for lunch or dinner, we always get good service and great food. The atmosphere feels like someone in the 50s era. Only place in town here in Coldwater that has a drive-in restaurant of this type.

Place was awesome!!! I enjoyed my Hamburger and it definitely was more flavorful than what you expect from fast food..

Broasted chicken is 🔥! Hands down.
Breading is slightly peppered and not over seasoned . Not a fan of the coleslaw but it’s a vinegar type and I like creamy and sweet so can’t be a good judge of the slaw.
Foot long hot dog bun was hard so it kinda ruined it
Fries were good and the Lime dole whip is very light flavorful and very interesting.

The food is good this year, better than last year. The fries are always cold,and the SERVICE is very poor. Some of the waitresses are rude, always inside and they walk past you and don't wait on you right away

shout out to shorts and Amy short for making and delivering delicious cheeseburgers on national cheeseburger day to the Insight ER crew. We rarely get such delicious and fast service! such a treat .

I always have excellent service when getting food at Shorts! Their burgers are made fresh daily and hand packed. The tenderloin chicken sandwich is amazing and HUGE!

Not worth the hype. Food took forever to come out when there was only 2 vehicles there. They don’t cook the mushrooms long enough. Made me puke all night. Very expensive and not worth it.

Honestly great place. I love their root beer floats. It’s super fun driving up and being served in your car. They attach the tray to your car door. The food is good. I’ve been there at different times and had burgers, fries, fried chicken, chicken tenders and more. It’s definitely fast food type of food. Greasy, and not good for you, but delicious. 😅 Great summer spot. You can grab food at Short’s and then head to Capri drive in to watch a movie. Tons of fun!

Nice drive in experience. Good root beer. Family had fried mushrooms, potato logs+++. No complaints everyone was happy. They have tables outside if you don’t want to eat in your car. Bathrooms are on west outside of building.

They are advertising crab rangoons. They told us the price of the food and we paid and then asked what the price of the items were ( we should've asked first). $10.00 for 2 crab rangoons !!!!!!!!! 2 pieces!!!!!!! $5.00 each!!!!!!!!
We got 2 orders not knowing the price. $40.00 for 3 footlongs, 1 drink and 2 orders of crab rangoons. No wonder why there wasn't anyone at the place. Way over priced. We used to come here a lot... no more. Rip off

Waited for 40 mins for 2 corndogs and fries.3 cars came and went with food. We told them give us our money back we were done waiting since have 3k worth the meat with us thawing out. They refused to give us our money back 3 girls were there and none were qualified to refund our money and had to call boss and apparently never got the okay too. This place is a joke and unprofessional 💯
