On our way up north we stopped by for lunch and it was one of the best decisions of our trip! I ordered the Rocky Burger which was absolutely fantastic. This pulled pork and bacon hamburger was a 10/10, the fries were great, and our waitress Hailey was absolutely exceptional. I have zero complaints and would highly recommend checking this place out!

I am Shorty’s with Friends granddaughter speaking on behalf of the new owners Anne & Steve. This is not the old shorty’s. These are new owners, new menu, and new food choices. The reasoning behind the images not matching up is because we have no access to the Google business page which is not allowing us to change anything. Prices are reflecting on what they pay for inventory as food nowadays aren’t cheap. They have been closed just before Valentine’s Day due to a blockage by a seagull in the roof draining pipe causing the ceiling to fall in.. yes sounds crazy but accurate. We have updated everything on the Facebook page to ensure we are reopening but we have insurance and workers to wait on so it’s not that simple. They are a small mom&pops business and needs support and not criticism. Thank you.

Great place. Chantelle was exceptional, fun and really looked after us. Food delicious, on time and hot. Good portion size. Burgers were made in house. Prices were reasonable. Will be back.

We stopped in for supper after searching for a place to eat after 8pm. This gem of a place popped up when searching. The food was really good and very reasonably priced! Great service, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the French onion soup!

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!
