We went to the Watertown Garage Sale which evidently is a HUGE event of the year. Luckily, Shorty's…read morewasn't too busy! I was afraid it would be packed before others also went to the garage sale. The sampler breakfast plate had a little of everything, and the pancake was huge and fluffy! Honestly my favorite part. The old-time diner feel is great, with little jukeboxes at each table. Love this place!

We were visiting the area, and were appealed to this restaurant due to its old time diner look and…read morethe vintage car out front. Once we were inside, that vibe continued. The vintage diner feel was cozy, and the Coca-Cola light fixtures were unique. Each table also had its own vintage jukebox. We came on a busy Sunday morning, but got lucky and were sat right away. From the beginning, and throughout our experience, the staff were very friendly. Our sever brought us drinks within minutes, and we were able to put in our orders pretty quick. Like I said, it was a busy Sunday, so it took awhile for us to receive our food. But this gave my wife and I time to talk, and enjoy the ambiance. I ordered the breakfast lasagna (had never seen this before) with white toast and a side of corned beef hash. When the food came out, it was warm and fresh. The breakfast lasagna had a nice flavor from the peppers and onions and meats that were baked inside. The base was made from what seemed like mashed potatoes which threw me off a little, but wasn't bad. The toast had a good toast to it, and was nicely buttered. I am a corned beef hash lover, and Shorty's was pretty good! The flavors meshed well together and the texture was great. My wife ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits which was not great. The sausage gravy was lacking flavor, with the main taste being cream. The sausage within the gravy was cut up sausage links, and for myself and my wife at least, we prefer ground sausage. Lastly, the biscuits were nothing to write home about. They were not bad but they didn't wow. Overall, I gave Shorty's a three because the food didn't wow me. There was not anything wrong with the food we had at all, and we will probably be back in the future to try some of their other food. Otherwise, my wife and I also loved the feel of the diner itself.

My husband and I went here for a late lunch on Saturday. We both got medium rare steak and eggs. My…read morehusband asked for over easy eggs. I asked my for my eggs to be over easy, but placed on my husband's plate (due to allergies). We ordered sides of hashbrown casseroles and one order of fried apples. It took about 35-40 minutes for the food to come out, so we were starving. Our waitress was awesome and sweet. 15 mins after sitting there, they brought out someone else's food and the runner got an attitude with us that we were saying it wasn't ours. My husband got one over easy egg and one scrambled egg as well as both sides of the hashbrowns. His steak was fine. Mine - I received no hashbrowns and just the fried apples. The steak was a hard hockey puck. I thought I'd just eat it because I was starving. I choked and it got stuck in my throat. So I sent it back. The woman that brought our food out to us (not our server) was rude and seemed inconvenienced that she brought out the wrong food again. She said she wasn't dealing with this and walked away. Our waitress came back and I sent it back. Waited another 20 minutes and this time, the steak was seared on the outside, but completely gray and raw on the inside. The fat wasn't rendered and the meat smelled like raw meat just pulled out of the fridge. I was disgusted. The waitress took my meal off the bill and we left. This place is getting worse and worse and it's utterly disgusting. The waitress told us that she had a family that had to send their steak back 5 times the day before. I wish she had warned us that the cook was trash and I would have asked for something else!
