Food and service was OK nothing to write home about. Quick to sit, but had to ask for a sharp knife for my salad as non of the fruit was chopped and too hard for a butter knife. read more

We ordered a brisket Easter dinner from Shortfield's to try and support our local businesses during self-isolation. We are quite disappointed in it. The meal is supposed to be portioned for 4. The potato salad was portioned for 1 or 2. The brisket is dry. The macaroni and cheese tastes like boiled noodles with a bit of cheese sprinkled on it. On top of all that, they charged us $60. We were expecting a much better meal. I would not recommend Shortfields in the future. We will support a different local business. read more

Great food and a small menu! It drives me nuts when I feel like I'm reading a book to decide on what I want to eat. I had a burger and sweet tea. Make sure you order the fried pickles, they were amazing! read more

My sisters and I had a great lunch! Good service, good food, good atmosphere!

Reuben sandwich and French fries were delicious, definitely order again! Very pleasant staff.

The red wine was a bit harsh so order it early and allow it to breathe while you explore the menu. My husband ordered the Shortfields burger and sweet potato chips as a side and I ordered the creamy potato soup. The sweet potato chips are fabulous, with a hint of cinnamon and red pepper! The burger was delicious, huge, perfectly cooked and juicy with lettuce, tomato, onions and mushrooms. I had to "help" him eat it! My potato soup was very good, thick, creamy, and loaded with potato chunks, green onions, and sausage. Everything tasted really fresh and homemade. Service was excellent, noise was moderate, and we really liked not hearing the TVs from the bar side. We will definitely be back. read more

Shortfields - Southern Cordon Bleu - New American Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

I wasn't very pleased with this being my first time coming. Got Fried Pickles as an appetizer, for entree I got the Veggie burger and my husband got the chicken Alfredo. The veggie burger had my mind very confused. The bun was massive on the top but yet the bottom of the bun was so thin that it was falling apart and it had no seasoning. The pickles weren't good at all Husband said the Alfredo was good but just wasn't good for the price you are paying. The service was absolutely awful and that's why I had to give it 2 stars. I realize it was busy but I felt I never say my waiter. We got our drinks filled only once and that's when we got our to-go boxes. Overall I wasn't very pleased and I won't be returning. read more

We were told this was a good place. We tried it I ordered a Cobb salad and a my husband got a sandwich. Both were poor quality. Not sure how you can mess these 2 things up but they managed it. Wont be back to many other great places. read more

I was a little skeptical from outward appearance, but the staff and food was great. We both ordered the Southern cordon Blue with different sides. The chicken was juicy and perfectly prepared. Many places smother the chicken with sauce. But the Dijon based sauce was just the right amount to enhance the flavor without masking. The sautéed spinach was flavorful. The collards were great. Grandma would be amazed. The garlic mashed and the new potatoes were cooked perfectly. All of the staff was friendly and they helped each other. Our waiter, Scott was on top of everything. Great food and great staff. The restaurant was super clean. Will definitely be back. read more

Went here for dinner. There was 6 of us. The burger was greasy, the fries were salty, the service was the bare minimum. The check came and there was a 20% gratuity added along with a 3.5 charge for using a card. Talk about nickel and diming people! Go elsewhere, too many restaurants in the area to be unsatisfied! read more

Second visit at Shortfield's over the weekend. We had a group of 16 and planned ahead and reserved their larger private party room. Very reasonable reservation charge for the room. Every person liked the menu choices and found something to please them. Their shrimp and grits and their chicken and waffles were a big hit with several in our group. The service is prompt and friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

I have some of the pickiest eaters for kiddos with some very astute taste buds. Nothing gets by these little foodies. When we went to lunch yesterday and the food arrived all I head was. This looks amazing, these taste fantastic, this is a wonderful presentation. Each child as well as myself were more than pleased with our meals. The kids chicken fingers, perfection was the rating. 10 out of 10...when I asked my son why, he said; there was 3 nicely sized chicken fingers, the breading made for perfect crispness and season was delicious. The best part was their width it was perfect size for childs mouth. And the tenderness and quality of the chicken was perfect! This review from a very tough food critic was amazing, I just had to tell others. My other kids ate the Mac n Cheese which was also given a 10, the creaminess, the elbow pasta cooked to perfection, and the portion was also excellent. In addition to the delicious food is the size of their booths. They are oversized which allows easily 6 adults to fit into them and possibly up to 8 people in the booths. If you want a wonderful meal stop in at Shortfields the servers have been there for ages which speaks to the quality of ownership and all aspects of their business. Stop in and tell them Justin Ruzicka highly recommends them! read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast on Sunday. Service was excellent, but wouldn't come again because of the food. Eggs over easy were served over hard. Beans in the chipotle rancheros were cold. It's sad because they're close to our house & we're looking for a good local spot Maybe their lunch options are better, but we definitely wouldn't come for breakfast again. read more

Out of towner here passing through town. Sat at the bar. Bartender was as pleasant and knows how to read people well. I was a bartender for 20+ years. He is a seasoned pro. Had the Cowboy burger w/ sweet potato chips. Burger was cooked perfectly and the chips were delicious. The only thing I didn't like were the open straws being touched and put in the glass during Covid. Between cash handling, touching patrons glasses and plates, straws should be wrapped and let the guests unwrap their own straws or partially pre pulled by the staff leaving the paper on top. Other than that, very good burger and service. read more

One of our local favorites. Their pimento cheese is REALLY good, as are their homemade veggie burgers, mountain trout, white wings. We haven't tried anything we don't like yet. read more

Overpriced food. It was not worth our money. Paid $16 for chicken wings that were nothing special. Salad was bland. Won't be returning

First time here on this gloomy Friday for lunch. I ordered the Gossett burger with fries upon a recommendation from a friend. The pimento cheese, which I tasted alone, was awesome. The burger was cooked to order and generous in portion. The bun was very fresh. It was one of the best burgers I have had in awhile. The large side of seasoned fries were cooked perfectly... crispy outside and soft inside. Addictive! Service could not have been better... They were very polite and our drinks were refilled promptly. There were 5 of us and everyone was very happy with the portions, quality, and service. I will return! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite with the family after a long day of whitewater rafting. Our server John was fantastic and had some great recommendations for both food & drinks. The food here is spectacular!! From the burgers to the fish and chips my boys and husband had to my rack of lamb. Everything was very fresh and seasoned perfect. The final touch was the carrot cake which was to die for!! Apparently most of the deserts are made by the owners's moms. Kudos to the Moms!! Cozy family place with a little bit of everything!! Thanks for a great meal read more

The atmosphere felt dirty and it was Smokey in the whole place. The wait staff was slow. They didn't even have enough staff to sit people. We waited for a table and our food for over an hour. The server brought our drink and we didn't see him again. I will never go back to this restaurant. Terrible service and dirty feeling. Bathroom door didn't even work properly to open and close. Very gross and over priced. After an hour Food didn't come so we got up and left. Waiter NEVER came to our table once to even tell us sorry for the wait. Never saw him again after he took our order. Didn't fill our glasses with water again. Very disappointing read more

The waiters are really hot, very very pleased with the staff. Best part of my day. The food was mid. Burnt chicken.

I have been driving past this restaurant since 2004 and finally went in. The menu is abundant with choices. The service was fast and friendly. To start we had the French Onion soup. The broth is rich and the cheese was perfectly melted. I had the steak with caramelized onions, medium rare. Potatoes and garlic green beans. To say that this was the best steak I have had in SC would be an understatement. The food was amazing. And for dessert they have a lemoncello cake that is the best dessert of my life. Not heavy, light flavor, so yummy. I want to take an entire cake home. Initially we tried to dine outside because inside was very noisy, but there were many flies, so we stayed indoors. The second time we went I had the Moroccan rack of lamb. Eight giant lambchops, Moroccan spices and a wonderful rice/couscous dish. And the server remembered us. This is a must eat at restaurant. Would give as many stars as possible. read more

I've been here twice and first time food was awful. Came here for a birthday party and tried something different. Food is overpriced and not worth it. I will not be back. read more

Shortfields - For $10 You get four of these and nothing else. On the menu they sound delicious but they are actually not very tasty. - New American Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Shortfields is a wonderful little hidden gem in Simpsonville! The food is wonderfully prepared and elevated above the typical offerings at other casual dining places. I have enjoyed their version of chicken cordon blue and the vegetables are always fresh and delicious. I have also had their filet and it was cooked perfectly. They are always willing to substitute items on the menu to make your meal exactly the way you want it. The staff is friendly and attentive and the manager can always be seen talking to customers and ensuring everything is to your satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Shortfields to anyone looking for a great meal in the Simpsonville area. read more

very good food & service but the hostess was incredibly rude. I don't think rolling eyes at customers & walking away while we're asking a question is going to make them want to come back. the food made up for it but she dented the experience. read more

I have been here a couple times at lunch. The first time I went I ordered the 1lb Spicy Teriyaki wings and a sweet tea. The wings were really good and cooked perfect. My only issue was the sauce could have been a little spicier. I sat at the bar and the service was excellent. In fact when she brought my check I found out that the wings are on special on Wednesdays. They were cheaper than listed on the menu! she also told me that they do a flatbread pizza special on Tuesdays at lunch for only $4! I love a good deal so, next week I went back. I sat at the bar again and ordered the special flatbread pizza she told me about the week before with pepperoni and sausage and a sweet tea. Same excellent service as before. This time the food wasn't on point. The pizza was a bit undercooked and didn't have much flavor. It's like it was missing something. It's still a good deal at $4! Overall a good lunch spot. I will try it again. I plan on trying other menu items next time. With so many places to eat in Simpsonville I hope they step up their flavor game! read more

Our favorite restaurant in Simpsonville! They have a lot to choose from and the quality is always great. Wings, fish & chips, burgers, salads, steak, lamp chops, or crab cakes, you can't go wrong. They are always quick to prepare call in/take out orders as well. read more

Misleading, dishonest and rude. We had a party of like 15 and to debate a coupon that in plain English says "complimentary menu item up to $10 value" and she makes up a "not with burgers" rule in front of 15 of us. read more

Shortfields - New American Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Tried this location after wonderful experiences at the Travelers Rest location, but my visit was very disappointing. 1. I ordered the wedge salad with grilled chicken, it my favorite in TR. What I received last night was pathetic. The "wedge" was three tiny chunks of iceberg lettuce. 2. In addition to the rationed lettuce, the toppings were also skimpy. I literally had to look to onions and bacon because all I saw was around five cherry tomatoes. All the fixings were also tossed in the bottom of the bowl which was frustrating. 3. The blue cheese was watery, much like the consistency of Italian dressing. 4. The grilled chicken was disgusting. I have literally had better chicken out of a hospital cafeteria. It had a bit of and was not seasoned at all and had the taste and consistency of boiled chicken. Also, the chicken had a bit of slimy texture on the outside that I did not care for. I tried to eat the chicken by dipping it in the watery blue cheese but I couldn't bare more than two bites and left the rest on the plate. 5. The restaurant was blazing hot. 6. Our waitress came to the table three times: to take our order, the give us the bill, and the bring the check back. 7. If I would have had phone, I would have taken pictures of the salad. Overall, the experience was very disappointing, especially in light of the great visits I have had at the TR location. read more

I had the herb crusted grouper and it would have been great if I had asked for the tomato relish to be placed on the side. The new potatoes were good! We had older lady as our waitress and she was awesome! She kept check on us the entire time. The wings were good but my friend raved about his steak. Good place to try. read more

Shortfields - Herb crusted grouper with broccoli and roasted potatoes - New American Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Walking through the door and seeing the overly worn out floor just sets a tone of "old and dirty" for the whole restaurant. With $38 steaks on the menu, I would expect a nicer place! We ended up getting burgers and fries which tasted fine, but for $32 for two burgers they should have been fantastic! Overall, this was not the highlight of Simpsonville we had hoped for. read more

Very underwhelming dining experience at Shortfields. The dishes are overpriced, especially considering the quality of food presented. Everything I ate was over salted and lacking in flavor. My wife ordered a special dish, in which the tuna was prepared very well, but was very small in comparison to the heaping side of flavorless noodles. The waitress took her order for a salad and a side vegetable, neither of which were delivered to the table. I ordered the chicken and waffles, the waffles appeared to be from a toaster and the quality of the chicken was poor. Our waitress was incredibly nice and hard working, however was having to balance too many customers as she was also the bartender so her time with us was sparse. It was a Friday night so the restaurant was very busy, possibly contributing to the poor food as well. Took around 45 minutes for our food to be served. On the plus side, they do have a decent selection of drinks and beer. read more

Best steak I've had in a long time! Not an upscale atmosphere but the food is surprisingly good.

Sunday Funday, bottomless mimosas for $12. Call some friends and Uber over for brunch. Sat outside on this beautiful fall day. There are booths near the door in the shade and tables with some sun out in front. A Sunday brunch menu was offered with several delicious options. One of our diners chose Eggs Benedict with hollandaise and roasted potatoes. Another ordered fish tacos, and I decided on the herb crusted grouper with roasted red pepper and tomato sauce. This plate came with a salad which included an assortment of greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and homemade basalmic. Delicious and more than a side salad. While everyone was pleased with their food, I was a bit disappointed in the grouper. The sauce was served on top and looked like it had sat on the fish too long. It also had more of a pan fried coating on it which I was not expecting. Generous plate and priced fairly though. The sides of wilted spinach and roasted potatoes were nicely prepared. Friendly service and overall a good experience. Will return for the mimosas! Note on previous visit: I had the crab cakes and liked them much more. The key lime pie rolled in chocolate was also great. read more

John was amazing! The food was phenomenal, I cant recommend this place enough! Their battered fries were incredible and the white wings were sinfully delicious. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Update, Been back several times and they've definitely worked on several key areas. Had the bone-in-ribeye again which was absolutely amazing. Yet they put a green sauce on top of the steak which truly did not compliment the taste but it's their take. read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this restaurant! My husband and I recommend it to everyone we know. The service and quality of their food is always exceptional. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. Always delicious. Great fish and steak! Always start with a house salad. Crisp and fresh! Staff is personable and friendly. Kids meals are excellent. My grandchildren always enjoy their meal. They also have pizza, burgers, salads, sandwiches. Prime rib French dip is my favorite. Fries are crisp, tender and delicious. read more

My last two visits to Shortfields were for the Sunday Brunch. On both occasions, the brunch selection I ordered came with breakfast potatoes and on both occasions my selection was served to me minus the potatoes. On both occasions, I made our server aware as soon as the plate was set in front of me and on both occasions the server acted non interested and non apologetic. He did eventually return to our table with a bowl of potatoes; however I was almost entirely finished with my brunch when the potatoes arrived. I feel that I've given this establishment several opportunities to show they are in tune with great service and in tune with their own menu; however I've been disappointed every single time. So sad...considering your wait staff IS your face to the customer and in the case of Shortfields in Simpsonville they've lost me. read more

Great addition to downtown Simpsonville. The food is better than good. At least the items I've ordered / sampled. I'm quite fond of the pimento cheese appetizer. I was impressed with the Wedge salad, and the Caprese was very good. The owners have done a great job utilizing the space. I will continue to visit. Living in Bells Crossing area of Five Forks, I would typically head there or further up Woodruff Rd. I like having a reason to visit Simpsonville. Pro Tip: map your route according to the time of day. read more
