After the required corn palace visit, we stopped in for a quick lunch. You order at the counter…read moreand they bring the food out to your table. We had burgers, fries, gems (tater tots), and chili cheese fries. The food was reasonably priced and ours was ready fast. Overall our meal was good, but not great. The Chili cheese fries were probably the best thing we had. They were made with shredded cheese (imo better than cheese sauce) and thick chili with just right amount of spice. There are only a handful of tables and some counter side bar stools. We found a seat right away as some people were leaving. By the time we left, it was packed and I overheard that the wait for food was around 30 mins.

Never had an unpleasant experience here- the employees are quite pleasant and helpful, even when…read moreI've come in with an odd request or question a couple times, they have been just great. The meat quality is always good, and their bratwurst (a bunch of different flavors- made in house) are just AMAZING :) Plus they sell fresh beef bones for dogs too- they're cut to size just right for my dogs. And the price is extremely reasonable- like 2 or 3 bucks for a 2-3 lb bag I believe. I try to keep a couple bags in the freezer always. Definitely beats buying expensive processed commercial dog chews, not only cheaper but the raw bones are safer and better for 'em! If you're visiting Shorty's for the first time, be aware that there are two meat lockers right next door to one another, on the same side of the road. Make sure you go to the right one. Shorty's is the larger building, further east....if you are coming out of Mitchell it's the second meat locker. I accidentally went in the "other" meat locker once, when I first moved up here. NOT a pleasant experience, the guy was rude and condescending when I inquired about a product they did not have available. I even went in there a second time, several months later.....and got the same exact attitude. I won't go back to the "other" guys, from here on out I always make sure I turn into the CORRECT driveway, definitely a night & day difference, I find it amazing the other place can even compete :)

This spot was one of the gas stations we visited on our way out and we needed to stretch our legs and get some coffee. I also needed to use the restroom, which I found to be clean. When grabbing our coffee and snacks, we found everything was well organized. The employee who checked us out at the register was friendly and got to us quickly. Overall a decent gas station experience.

Flies everywhere (can't be helped much) but they wouldn't close the lids to keep flies out. The stuff was old and very dirty. Only 3 people in line but still took a long time to get our sandwiches. The guy touched all over things while ringing everyone up and pens and whatnot with gloves on. Didn't wash his hands or change his gloves.. the ranch bottle was so old it was turning darker cream (like it does when it gets old and warm..) just be warned.

This is something of a hidden gem in Mitchell, SD…read more The place is rather compact, but they have a surprisingly wide selection of sweets! I've been to candy stores all over the country, and they had stuff I had never seen before. Of course, they also had all the old favorites. One of their most prized possessions is BOB (Big Ol' Bear), a 26-pound gummy bear that doubles as an edible candy bowl. The whole thing has a total of like 30,000 calories. And if I had $125, I would have bought it. For real. The woman who ran the place was very, very kind and helpful. The prices were pretty good as well. My girlfriend and I eventually settled on this drink carrier that cost 8 bucks and came with our choice of two sodas, and two kinds of candy tubes. I got a cream soda and a tube of assorted confections, and she got an orange soda and a tube of Now 'n Laters. I really liked this place. Definitely need to check them out.

I ordered pizza from the bar, they gave me a Number. They brought my pizza to the table. I had to get up and pay my tab at the bar and get a pizza box, which was flat, had to fix it myself. No wonder the parking lot is pretty much dead here. If all you want to do is costly drinks, this is the place. Otherwise, go next door to the Depot for great service, good food, and decent priced drinks. If you want a great beer menu at decent prices, go to Blarneys.
