We dine here on a regular basis, and for good reason, the service is is very good and servers are personable and accommodating. The prime rib special on Saturdays is my favorite and Halibut fish and chips a close second, OMG so good, Ambiance is great and an awesome selection of Draft beers to boot! Shorty's won't disappoint. Make sure you have reservations on Attack game nights. "Ann your team rocks"

Advertises at the Bayshore as "Come before or after the game". Should read "Come before the game, get your food sometime after."
Couldn't say how the food was as it never made it out before we had to go. The waitress did warn us after we had been there for some time that the kitchen was backed up but then avoided us (not even a drink refill) until we flagged down what turned out to be the new owner and asked to pay for our drinks and go. We watched the owner say a few words to a waitress (not ours) and then sit down with another table at the back.
After another extended wait I sent the rest of the party to get the vehicle and went to find the flustered waitress at the bar, seemingly unsure how to handle the situation, telling us it was her first day there and would need to get the owner. Our waitress did finally swoop in then to tell us we wouldn't need to pay for our drinks (three pops) and apologized for the wait.
Overall a very disappointing experience. If you can't get the pre-game clientele out the door in time then maybe rethink advertising at the game. And if you are looking to attract a different kind of customer, perhaps you should actually come up with a new name rather than keep all the same branding?

Under new ownership and even though it still kinda looks the same, it's not! Right when you walk in, it smells clean! It's brighter and new table and chairs! The food is amazing! All he made. Been there twice now and it cannot disappoint. We stopped going before it closed down due to the food being horrible, that's not the case now. Great apps and mains!

Food was fine. Got a burger that said it came with “special sauce and was delicious” but there was no sauce and the burger was dry. The fries were good though. My plate that my food came on also had purple stains and food particles that were very obviously not from my food. When I tried to wipe it off, the stain remained meaning it had dried and hardened and therefore was there for a while.
I think they are understaffed. The waitresses were nice and welcoming, however due to there not being enough of them, the service was extremely slow. I also feel like they must only have one cook ?? It took almost 2 hours for us to get seated, order and then get our food….

This review is for the new renovated restaurant called "Shorty's Bar & Grill with Friends" In Owen Sound Ontario. First of all this is definitely a new place inside. The freshly done new carpet and paint looks Fabulous. The owners Anne & Steve are totally amazing after meeting them. The fantastic waitress's here are right at your table smiling. If you need anything they are there quickly. All of them are so friendly with a big smile. Which to me makes this place top notch with a lovely atmosphere. In other words so far my review about the restaurant & service here is 100% top notch. Last review the food. I had to try The John Wayne 12oz tenderloin even though it was the most expensive on the menu and I had it done medium rare. There where so many good options on the menu it was so hard to pick something, it all looks good lol. But OMG! the steak was Soooooo perfect with the baked potato & veggies to go with it mmmm so good. Also I had some breaded shrimp extra because I love food lol. Dam it was so good. Lastly even though stuffed with a full belly, I just had to try one of their hear say famous deserts. Oh Yum, yum yummy yum. Holy crap I am in love with this place now!!!! Totally recommend anyone wanting some fantastic food, drink, service and you can not forget the deserts! Seriously you have to try the new Shorty's Bar & Grill with Friends, you will not be disappointed. I will be back 100% soon with my FRIENDS lol. Keep up the amazing work all at Shortys & Friends Bar & Grill with Friends : )
