Nice place. Went there on a monday at noon. Even though it was crowded we were seated quickly (there was four of us). Our server was awesome and made some great recomendations. I had their catfish sandwich which was cooked perfectly. Again, even though it was busy we received our food quickly. It was very tasty. If you're in the area it's worth the stop.

Just a background on the choice of this restaurant, we were headed to Shenandoah for a camping trip and we like to get breakfast before getting to the mountains and we I seen Shorty's. Diner style restaurant with a 4.6 rating, I didn't think to read the reviews because there's not too many non corporate breakfast spots on the way.
When first walking, in the person who is supposed to be seating us just kind of stared at me bewildered on what he's supposed to do, which I'm putting on the restaurant for training because he did look new.
The server was nice, basically no complaints on her.
The food, for a diner style restaurant in today's world I pretty much anticipate freshly made food with a few things here and there that are packaged premade (their less sold items but are sold enough to justify leaving it on the menu).
I got the breakfast burrito, no sauces, no seasoning, just egg, hash brown, and bacon zero flavor. I came with a side of hash browns, home fries, or grits; I choose the hash browns, again no flavor, barely cooked enough to have a Browning which also leads to no flavor. I put said pepper and some table side ketchup on, there was something about the ketchup that made me think they're either watering down their ketchup or there's some kind of mold in the bottle. I also got a coffee, and the first two sips were decent, but there also I started to get a kind of mold taste. I might be wrong on it being mold, but there was a concerning taste going on.
But the trend of flavorless premade tastes just go on from there, mother in-law got the hangover notably it had biscuits and gravy both were are premade/from the can and tasted ok I guess, but biscuits are not difficult to make and I would assume seeks a lot because it's southern America. Daughter for a burger and that one tasted fine to me, she want a fan of it, but the patty was a freezer puck, maybe they don't sell a lot of burgers, but the ones they picked were decent, and they at least got a decent chat on it. The pancakes were great though.
Overall, unless you're looking for a spot that provides food for a diabetic or you just don't know flavors and you're wanting a good diner spot to have breakfast or cheap lunch fare skip this place and just go to Waffle House for better food.
This is the only time we've eaten there, maybe it was an off day for them, but for the money we spent, I was not happy with the food.

Great old diner. Food options are vast and very tasty. Our server was extremely friendly, attentive and helpful. Seemed like a local spot as servers were very familiar with guests. Where it fell a little short for me was cleanliness. It wasnt awful or gross could just use a little attention.

The service is slow. The waitress kept forgetting to bring patrons silverware and my order wasn’t correct. The fries were over cooked and dried out. Very noisy.

I visited this diner while vacationing from Michigan. I absolutely loved the food. My family was politely and promptly greeted. Our waitress was very personable. I highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy good food, reasonable prices, hearty serving sizes, friendly service, and nostalgic atmosphere.

I wish I could review the food but we didn’t get to eat. When we arrived this morning, the restaurant was about half full and we were seated promptly. However, we sat there for 10-12 minutes with our menus down ready to order. Not a single person approached our table to say hello, get a drink order, nothing. As we were on a schedule, we left and went to another pancake house up the road where we were seated, placed our order, and received our breakfast all within 10 minutes. Do better, Shortys.

If you like a very lively place packed with people with the owner being very charming and welcoming this is a place to go I would recommend hash browns eggs toast and maybe a few slices of bacon and they have good coffee

Shorty's dinner is good, so good they stay at capacity, which means its LOUD in there. Too loud for my liking, but the food was worth it.
