We've eaten at Shortys since it's opened and other than the Gouda Mac and cheese being luke warm…read moremost of the time it's been awesome (I mean c'mon you're really there for the Q anyway) Not last night....four of us ate around 5:30....3 ordered ribs and 1 turkey w/sides. The ribs were horrible.....dried out and sparse on meat. Now I've had ribs here before and they've been great but it's been lunch time. ‍ The previously mentioned Mac and cheese wasn't good either ....they used to have noodles separate and then spoon cheese sauce on em. This version is sauce and noodles mixed but they were pretty void of sauce and also gummy. The slaw I had which is normally very good was mostly just dry cabbage. So let me reiterate EVERY other visit has been awesome I hope the fact that Shortys ownership has changed or their extended hours isn't causing this. I'm going to chalk it up as a bad night for them but my future visits will be earlier in the day to compare.

I've been on the hunt for the best catfish in the area and this place was recommended. I was…read morethrilled that they even serve grilled catfish which is harder to find. You can get the 1 piece fillet dinner with sides or 3 fillets with no sides. I didn't want sides so got the 3 piece and had 1 fried and 2 grilled. The 3 pieces were thick, juicy and cooked to perfection! I loved both the grilled and fried version. Our waitress was very nice, attentive and the food came out hot and fresh. My husband got the Texas BBQ burger and while it looked amazing, he said it lacked seasoning and wasn't impressed. He ate it though and said he would return and try something else. I still gave 5 stars because the fish was so good!

My son got the chicken strips and fries. Hubs got the Texas burger and a salad. I got the chicken sandwich and sweet potatoe fries. Oh. My. Gosh. Everything was amazing. The service was stellar-Angie knows what's up. The patio was the best part - so gorgeous out there! Def will come back on the motorcycle. Such a pretty drive to a pretty place. Highly recommend for food, service and ambiance!!

App: Loaded burnt end chips - I'm a sucker for a house made chip and these were great, I think they may have had the BBQ rub on them? Their seasoning on the chips was special Bf had smoked pork steak - EXCELLENT, was juicy and well seasoned Sides: potato salad and onion rings - great I had BBQ sampler (brisket, pulled pork, bratwurst and 1/4 rack ribs) - juicy, fall apart brisket, pulled pork was not dry like 90% of places, ribs were some of the best I've had and so was the bratwurst Sides: mac and cheese and hush puppies - the mac and cheese is not baked mac and cheese (I definitely prefer baked) but this was FANTASTIC. Hush puppies were great. I also had a Bloody Mary with their pickle vodka - it was perfect, not too spicy and they had a fresh (possibly homemade) pickle

The name of the restaurant is wrong here on Yelp! The correct name is Shelly's Smash Burger…read more Staff were very friendly. Ingredients were all fresh. Prices very reasonable. It's not really a truck stop, but it is part of a convenience store at a Phillips 66 gas station. The only options for burgers in Waterloo near where we are, are either fast food or Denny's, Applebees, etc. It's a bit of a drive down Rte 3 to Red Bud, but if you want a very good burger at a reasonable price it's worth making the trip.

I went out on a limb trusting some other Yelp reviews of this place and decided to stop on our way…read moreback from the wine trails in Southern Illinois. We had a hard time ordering. It was a little bit confusing on if we went to the main checkout or the one in the corner, which is kind of like a weird restaurant/ gambling area. Anyway, after we figure out what we wanted we waited for the order and ate it on the drive home. It did not package well, even from the store to the car which was like a 10-second walk. The fries were mushy and gross, and I feel like the burger was completely underwhelming. I think steak 'n shake has some of the best burgers. If we were going to stop somewhere local we probably should have done that. That. There's nothing to write home about and they offer a discount on some ice cream that's hand scooped, my partner got some of that and tried it and it was completely freezer burnt. So needless to say we won't be back, but it was I guess. Guess interesting to check out a local spot that I've been curious about. 3/10 won't try again and wouldn't recommend.

Lisa's is located next to Rocher Pub but she was running a fish buffet that night so we chose it. If you enter from the front off Market Street that's the bar but there's a door marked restaurant inside. If you come in the back where there's a parking lot it's the restaurant. There was no wait at 5:30. Little later there was & even though the seat yourself sign was out, they were helping people find tables. I had the fish buffet. It's only offered the second Friday of the month. About half the customers were eating it. There was fried catfish & cod, a baked fish, popcorn shrimp, stewed tomatoes, Mac & chz, hush puppies, fried potatoes, frog legs & onion rings on the hot bar. Salads were in bowls atop ice; potato salad, coleslaw. Cocktail & tarter sauces in premade cups. Bread & onion slices offered. Dessert was 2 homemade cakes in aluminum 13x9's; Orange jello poke and a spice cake. My husband had the fried chicken. It's fresh cooked so it takes awhile - I was pretty well done with mine when his arrived. He got the 4 piece & I sampled it with some crispy onion rings from the buffet. Mmmm. I saw people drinking beers so the servers can get drinks from the bar. The spice cake ran out quickly & the girl who brought a new one had no idea what kind it was. Might've been carrot but it wasn't overly spicy like some. I see why it was popular. The inside is bright & cheery, historical photos line the walls. The staff was all working hard & the only exception between service the locals got & us was that they called each other by name. If you're familiar with the advice to always eat bread with fish, you know I appreciated the white bread slices & onion. I wish I had the recipes for both those thin crispy onion rings & the potato salad. Since we had a cooler, a piece of that fried chicken ended up in my husband's lunch on Monday- still tasted great. No doubt about it, we'll be back.

Bar tender was very nice and made sure she checked in on everyone that was at the bar. This regular guy that goes by moon I think bought everyone a round!! They are also known for their tacos. Parking lot isn't the biggest, but they do have outside seating that's covered and there's some in the sun.
