Shorty's has consistently great food at very reasonable prices. My wife and I probably eat there once a week or close to it. Also, the staff are incredibly nice people, efficient too! read more

We were in town fir a softball tournament and went walking down Main Street looking for good food! Many others had recommended Shorty's so we decided yo give it a try! My husband ordered breakfast and I ordered lunch. They have all day breakfast which my husband loved! I had a Rueben and asked for it in sourdough and they brought it out in are still so that was disappointing considering my husband then had his food get cold as he waited for me to get mine to eat. The ambience was old school, very quiet and country town feeling. Our server was running all over the place so maybe they were short handed I don't know. My husband finished his meal off with the cinnamon roll, his fav! It was ok, a little on the dryer side and needed more frosting lol But all in all this place was fun to try. read more

I mean how can you not give Shorty's 5 stars?! We've been many times but just writing a review now. Staff is always so friendly and waits usually aren't too bad. Vibes are great in downtown Hailey. Anything on their menu is great so you can't go wrong with what you order! read more

Shorty's Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hailey, Idaho

Cold Hashbrowns. Need I say more? Every. single. Time. I wish this place was better as it's so cute and nice to have a diner in a small town but sadly, they are just not what they used to be. read more

The perfect, classic, 50s style diner, complete with all day breakfast and milkshakes, iykyk. Their portions are huge! Perfect to bring home yummy leftovers. Fluffy eggs, crispy toast, endless coffee, the works. It's the best spot in the valley for a VERY reasonably priced and delicious meal! read more

The food was very good and the price reasonable. I will be back. Bla bla bla, 85 word minimum! read more

Great food, friendly staff, love the retro dinner vibe in the downtown location. Good value too.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Not only was service friendly and quick, but our food was delicious and incredibly affordable! We sat outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather, so we didn't get to spend much time inside, but what we did see of the decor was so cute and quaint. Definitely stop by! read more

Shorty's Diner - Cheeseburger with fries (top); red pepper chicken sandwich with green salad (bottom). - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hailey, Idaho

Probably my favorite restaurant in Hailey, full of personality and charm, the staff treat you like family, the food is well priced and made with quality ingredients. This diner is a place to transport you into the past with its unique and beautiful decor, design, music, atmosphere, etc. definitely worth visiting. read more

Great food and service. The breakfast one of the best Ive ever had. The biscuits and gravy were the best.

Shorty's sucks. I live up the street, and I get it. Good for them. But the food is so-so and that is being nice. The service is horrible. I know it is the kick off of Summer but still. It's a thing, people will go regardless which doesn't help with making a better food and service environment. read more

Two breakfast orders were perfect. Totally delicious country potatoes, omelets and sausage links. Excellent fresh hot coffee. $35. Angelica had fantastic customer service; smiles, attentive, professional. My husband and I sat outside and took in the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere on the first stop of our road trip to Sun Valley. If we go back home to Meridian through Hailey, we'll be sure to stop by again. read more

Truth be told, there food was amazing!! It was fast, fresh and it ended up in my stomach pretty fast lol This place was very warm. The workers were all very respectful and cheerful. The theme is very much like a diner, lol it was very welcoming and clean. I will definitely be coming here for breakfast more often. read more

All staff interacted and exceeded expectations beyond "the Chick-Fil-A standard". Food looked great and tasted high quality. The kids were even happy with it. Inside it was clean and well decorated; just what you would expect from a period diner. I can't think of anything to criticize. Nothing was a let-down. Hard to consider going anywhere else when we come through town. I've already recommended it to a few people. read more

Shorty's Diner - Bacon Cheeseburger, onion rings, seasoning for the kids' fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hailey, Idaho

So fun to step inside this '50's like diner for breakfast. Chris, our server, (have a great life young man) was attentive and knowledgeable about what was gluten free on the menu. I recommend Shortys and Chris for a cozy breakfast and nostalgic atmosphere. read more

We did have a couple of issues there when we went for lunch, but they were awesome! My partner asked for no onions on a Patty's Melt, got onions. They fixed it straight away. I didn't complain about getting the roast beef vs roasted turkey sandwich (really, not a big deal, I was just going to take it home for when I wanted beef). noticed I hadn't eaten my sandwich (I took my kid to the bathroom) and as soon as I came back, they asked if their was something wrong with the sandwich. I said it was not turkey, but it was fine. They said, no, they would fix it, and they did. Brought me a new sandwich (and chips even though I ate most of the chips) to take home without charge. 10/10 We still love this place. read more

Very nice place to eat all around.. try it!!! Wide selection, solid service and great food We ate there several times on our vacation there! read more

Shorty's Diner - What's left of the Denver omelette with home fries! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hailey, Idaho

This quaint little 50's style cafe was a great start to our morning in Hailey. We split the denver omelette since we weren't too hungry. It was delicious! While it was a little messy to eat because it kept falling apart but that didn't really change anything. The hash browns were delicious as well, and they actually butter your toast for you. I've been to many diners where they don't do that so I appreciated it. 10/10 recommend to kickstart your day here! Oh also the coffee was great as well. read more

Shorty's Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hailey, Idaho

Wonderful service, great coffee and our meals were delicious. They were so nice to us and our dog Raava.

This place could be amazing. The corn cakes are absolutely delicious. They lose it on the details. To begin, diners are about coffee, their coffee is burnt, I had to wait ten minutes for a refill, and there's never enough cream on the table. There's very few veggie options and the veggie skillet is really mediocre. There's very few omelettes and scrambles to choose from in general and the options aren't very creative. The tortilla on the burrito wasn't blistered and all the eggs were stuck on the bottom not evenly distributed. Basically, this place could be amazing if they paid attention to details, not even minor details, just some. Please improve, we love coming here and with the slightest bit of work it can be amazing. read more

My life will never be the same... my husband and I both had the Crunchy French Toast breakfast special. It was so, so good. Our waiter was prompt and polite, we would 1000% come back. Also loved the 50's diner decor! read more

Tuna melt was excellent. Always great for breakfast or lunch Buddy had the meat loaf sandwich that looked really good too read more

We just finished eating . I would give the Food a 2 star but service was excellent so I'm giving 3 stars. I'm not sure what cut of meat they use for their country fried steak. But it's definitely not traditional and taste kinda gross. I ate half of it being I was hungry. My son who loves French toast had to force a few slices down as well. He said "this isn't good . My other son had their pancakes. He had no complaints. For a Diner I'm kinda bummed, I was expecting better. Service was wonderful. The young kids were very polite, helpful and did their jobs with a smile. Not something I see everyday from the younger crowd. read more

Shorty's is a Hailey Classic and an excellent breakfast spot. The food, service and prices are all excellent. read more

Totally recommend this dinner, best breakfast food in the wood river valley by far even Better than the sunvalley hotel! Highly recommend! read more

Shorty's is the perfect classic 50's diner. Everyone who works here is so kind and helpful! The hash browns are great and pretty much all the menu items are safe bets. I love stopping by for some coffee and an indulgent diner breakfast! read more

Worst customer service ever! Food and atmosphere is nothing special. Definitely not worth the hassle, the wait, the rudeness, and total bs encountered here! Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else! Take it from a local who knows better! read more

Generic Denny's type food. The reason for two stars is because the food was ok and the location, building, and atmosphere are welcoming. The menu is limited to your basic diner options, but at a more expensive price, because it is in Hailey, Idaho. I had chocolate chip pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and sausage. The pancakes tasted like the processed make at home Betty Crocker kind with generic chocolate chips. The biscuits and gravy were decent, but mostly gravy and a mediocre biscuit. The sausage was good and paired well with the gravy. read more

I've never been so excited to arrive at a restaurant, but biking 12 miles to get there will do that to ya. It's a family restaurant so I was surprised to see no changing table in the bathroom, but then again that seems to be the norm in this area. I really enjoyed the huevos ranchero I ordered and Baby R was super excited about her pancakes. I tasted them (or maybe ate half of them) and agree they were pretty good. My husband and father-in-law weren't as excited about their breakfast burrito, which gave them both a bad stomach ache...not so fun for the 12 mile bike ride home. Worth biking 12 miles to get to? Probably not, but an OK choice if you're in the area. read more

Shorty's has been decorated to feel like a vintage diner. There are vintage Coca-Cola, Beatles, and other posters on the wall. The servers were nice and did their best to accommodate us. The food was slow. They had only one cook. The shakes were not great. They tasted like a fast food shake (think McDonald's). The rest of the food was fair. The breakfast food was overall better than the other food. read more

Corn cakes or bust. Cutest Vintage diner vibes, great food, excellent location! Always a go to for breakfast

So today my family and i went for lunch, the waitress while taking our order referred to my son (who is 3) as a girl "what does she want?" i responded that he is a boy and just wears his hair long. then Ana p. responds with well you never know he might not want to be a boy and will change to girl. then laughs like its appropriate comment to make. i left the rude as f&ck remark alone and when two of us asked for sides or ranch and a side of bbq for our fries. she decides to combine the ranch sides as one and leaves a smallest amount to be for bbq (not enought for even half the order of fries) but the food was good and Ana clearly needs a lesson in appropriate customer speach. the food was 4 stars and Ana gets no stars!! read more

Food was ok, nothing spectacular that you can't easily make at home. This was just the usual breakfast food and nothing stood out to me. Waitresses were not very nice, they didn't even look or respond when we said thank you on the way out and barely cracked a smile the whole time. Portions were a good size for the price but nothing pulls me back here. read more

Great customer service but food was kind of bland. Definitely add salt, pepper, and the seasoning spice that's on the table if you want some flavor for your scramble. In response to inquiry, I had the sausage scramble with sourdough toast. Thank you. read more

Not a bad place to have breakfast in Hailey. We sat outside on the front patio/sidewalk area and kinda watched the action in the town go by. The service was fast and friendly. I had their sausage scramble and it was a good-sized portion of tasty breakfast flavors. read more
