Kate had exemplary service and made me feel like I was right at home. She engaged in such interactive conversation and the hospitality made me feel right at home. I will definitely be coming back to shortys in the future! I appreciate the atmosphere and the respect and kindness from the staff. The man who served me ROB did an amazing job as well.

The food was great but your draft beer lines haven’t been cleaned in awhile. I’m in the beer business, not draft line cleaning business. I had a tall Sam Oktoberfest. It was slick feeling with a typical off- taste.
