I had tried to make a reservation for a party of two, but was told they only take reservations for larger groups. I was advised to arrive between 5pm-5:30pm on a Saturday evening to avoid a wait. We arrived at 5:30pm and were promptly seated. The ambiance here is very casual and comfortable. Our server promptly came by to take our drink orders and give us menus. We were also provided with complimentary biscuits that were very good, though not as warm as we would have liked. I ordered the honey-BBQ salmon with green beans and mac 'n cheese. My friend ordered a burger. Food was served in an appropriate amount of time. My salmon was perfectly grilled and seasoned. The green beans were plentiful and deliciously fresh. The macaroni and cheese was a bit disappointing but not bad. It came in a small container and all I could see initially was a cream sauce; once I put my fork in, I discovered the macaroni. We had a nice evening and service was casually excellent- which is the vibe of the restaurant. I would definitely return and recommend Shorty's True American Roadhouse!

so many good barbecue spots in Toledo, and this just isn't one of them…read more They do have a pretty phenomenal sandwich... " more cowbell" But they were out of so much on a Sunday at 6 PM First of all, checked my gift card before I came into the store and had a $25 balance. When I get inside, it is packed, and guy working the register can't seem to get it to work so I just decided to pay. I ordered ribs, they're out! I ordered chicken... Out of that too. I ended up getting a sandwich. I would've never ordered Pryor, but I am glad I did. You can tell they were out of a lot of meats, because the baked beans I got were pretty much a bunch of beans, floating and barbecue sauce and not even very many beans at all The mac & cheese was decent, but nothing to write home about. I had to add a decent amount of salt and pepper. But waiting in line for 20 minutes for quick order food just to find out almost all of it was gone is a bit ridiculous It's pretty unorganized and chaotic The condiment station look like it has been ransacked, so I ended up for going any pickles or onions due to fear of some weird foodborne illness The whole experience is just a bit lacking. I can pay less money and go down the street and be waited on and have a cleaner atmosphere.

There is plenty of seating for small and large groups. There's a place to get your drink and grab some sauce from a variety of options. Our food came out quickly and portions were of good size. The Nashville hot chicken was dusted with some seasoning. It was not hot and quite frankly i couldn't taste the seasoning. The size was good and the chicken tasted good after I added some sauce. The nachos were delicious and full of flavor. The baked beans were solid as was the mac n cheese. And I had to get the hush puppies and they didn't disappoint.

Our server was super friendly and checked on us often without hovering -- just the right balance. The rolls... oh my goodness. Hot, fresh, fluffy, and that cinnamon butter should honestly come with a warning label because it's impossible to stop eating. I got the 6oz filet with a baked potato and steamed veggies, and everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and flavorful, the potato was piping hot, and the veggies were fresh -- exactly what you hope for but don't always get. Prices felt totally fair for the quality and portion sizes. Even the bathroom was clean, which is always a good sign. Overall, a great visit -- friendly service, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere. I'd happily come back.

If you're looking for a fun place to (all you can) eat, you've found it right here at Top Pot KBBQ!…read more Admittedly, we've never done the grilling (the actual BBQ). But we have done the hot pot on at least 3 occasions...we've (even my mom and my mother-in-law) been very happy each time. The menu is humongous. You say you're a carnivore? No problem. A vegetarian? Got ya covered. Gluten free? You're probably ok (maybe a little cross contamination? Dunno). The combinations of sauces and add on spices are near endless...I calculated 6.02x10^23 possibilities. Can you get enough to eat here? Well, TPKBBQ offers free refills on all meats, seafoods, and veggies! You won't go away hungry. They do have mixed drinks and beer, but I've only ever gotten pop. The wife and brother-in-law got various bubble teas, and liked them. The service and kitchen are remarkably fast and efficient. You won't sit around waiting to eat. Atmosphere? Not bad for South Toledo! One warning. The ordering policy may seem a bit draconian, but it makes sense if you think about it. It's explained in the menu, so check it out before you go. All in all, 5 stars! We'll be back (but mostly on special occasions).

The atmosphere was upscale without feeling stuffy, and the service and timing throughout the meal were stellar. We started with the fire grilled artichokes, which were smoky, tender and served with a delicious dipping sauce. Everyone also had either a Caesar or house salad, and both were fresh and very good. For dinner, we ordered the mushroom meat loaf special, the 16 ounce New York strip, steak and fries, and the barbecue baby back ribs. Every dish was impressive. The mushroom meat loaf with mushroom gravy was awesome, especially with the roasted Brussels sprouts and their Not Your Ordinary Mac and Cheese. It was rich, flavorful and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The ribs were tender and flavorful, and the steaks looked and tasted great. The only issue was that my wife's steak came out quite a bit more undercooked than she ordered. Outside of that, everything was excellent, and the employees handled the entire evening professionally. Great food, outstanding service, cool ambience and a staff that clearly takes pride in the restaurant. We would absolutely come back.
