    So happy I stopped at Shorty's
    Jason R.

    absolutely amazing! I was heading back to the airport in Dallas and stopped in just at closing, and the staff could not have been any nicer. And when I received my brisket sandwich, it was absolutely delicious and the best Texas barbecue I've ever had.. and the ambience incredible it used to be an old gas station converted to a barbecue joint. It gets no better than that. This will definitely be my go to stop every time I come to the Dallas area.

    First time trying shorties the turkey leg was very dry. I haven't tried anything else, but the turkey leg did not meet my expectations.

    First time trying shorties got the turkey leg for $14 very dry not a lot of meat barbecue watery haven't tried anything else. Maybe it's worth it but the turkey egg did not eat my expecatayion

    I have had this place on my list of places to visit for a minute. After my meal I'm so mad I haven't come here before. On appearance from the road you would not even think it was a restaurant. I walked in and was greeted I surveyed the menu and decided to purchase the special which was essentially a loaded potato salad. It was topped with my choice of meat I selected the chopped brisket. Then they piled on corn, beans, onions, cheese, and sour cream. Let me just say it does not sound that great but it was delicious!!!! I will definitely be back!!!!

    The order was wrong. The food was not worth eating. We threw it in the trash. I won't order from Shorty's ever again.

    You know the feeling you get when you hit all green lights on a pay day? This was that, food wise…read more We all got their basic cheeseburger and damn was it delicious. The bun was toasted perfectly while the beef patty itself sang lovely taste notes in our mouths. I think these are charbroiled patties cause they had tasty bits of char. The seasoning was perfect on the meat and it was a nice plump size. They do not shy away from balsamic vinegar glaze and I'm here for it. I opted for the pasta salad instead of chips and it was a simple and clean recipe. Fresh tomatoes and grated cheese topped the salad. Super refreshing. My mother and law and I split the amazing roasted Brussel sprouts. Again, a nice balsamic glaze and cheese topped these as well. The place has a lovely charm and warmth to it. I believe we were interacting with the family who owns and runs the place when we went, the chef came by to ask how things were. My wife adored the books since she's on the hunt for her next read! We moved here in May and finally were able to come and try their food can't wait to come back!

    Had a late lunch and found this place by chance using Yelp. Stash's Table & Fable is a cute…read morerestaurant with its own library! Staff was very friendly, especially Jeff and the cashier (didn't catch her name but I think it's the owner's daughter). - fresh lemonade (peach flavor) was refreshing - The pulled pork BBQ sandwich was delicious! Chose the pasta salad as a side which was also good. - got an additional side of crispy brussel sprouts! Dessert was unique: white chocolate BACON bread pudding - really enjoyed this! So glad we stopped by here during our time in Forney!

    The hubs and I recently had dinner here. It was a very nice experience. The restaurant itself is…read morepretty new and clean. The server was really nice and we never felt rushed during our dinner. The apps:started with the brisket queso and I was surprised how much we liked it. It could have used little more brisket; but overall very tasty queso. It had a bit of pico de gallo on top too. Comes with chips. The steak: I had the renegade sirloin with shrimp. He had Flos filet. It's no lie because Flo knows steak ! His steak was better hands down, very tender and juice - and he ordered his well done. We go to Roadhouse frequently but may have to come here instead. The other star of the show: Mac and cheese bacon. It's as good as it sounds. The salad: very good salad, they use the premixed lettuces and all was fresh. I hate old lettuce. Ranch was on point. To-go: we took home the strawberry shortcake and cheesecake. I liked both but the kid said her favorite was the cheesecake. Side note: my shrimp and his corn on the cob were very salty. But we are willing to give this place another chance just for the steak.

    We were seated around 12:30, so lunch had just started. We asked fur baked potato as our dudes and…read morewere told they were out of baked potatoes. How is a steak house already out if baked potatoes not far into lunch time?? The service was not great, we had to flag our server down every time we needed water or drink refills. She was not very attentive. The steaks were cooked correctly, but the mashed potatoes they subbed for baked potatoes were bland and my fried okra was inedible. It was so tough you couldn't bite through it. Not sure that we will be returning.
