Never had an unpleasant experience here- the employees are quite pleasant and helpful, even when I've come in with an odd request or question a couple times, they have been just great. The meat quality is always good, and their bratwurst (a bunch of different flavors- made in house) are just AMAZING :) Plus they sell fresh beef bones for dogs too- they're cut to size just right for my dogs. And the price is extremely reasonable- like 2 or 3 bucks for a 2-3 lb bag I believe. I try to keep a couple bags in the freezer always. Definitely beats buying expensive processed commercial dog chews, not only cheaper but the raw bones are safer and better for 'em!
If you're visiting Shorty's for the first time, be aware that there are two meat lockers right next door to one another, on the same side of the road. Make sure you go to the right one. Shorty's is the larger building, further east....if you are coming out of Mitchell it's the second meat locker. I accidentally went in the "other" meat locker once, when I first moved up here. NOT a pleasant experience, the guy was rude and condescending when I inquired about a product they did not have available. I even went in there a second time, several months later.....and got the same exact attitude. I won't go back to the "other" guys, from here on out I always make sure I turn into the CORRECT driveway, definitely a night & day difference, I find it amazing the other place can even compete :) read more
